After hesitating for a long time, I still revised the earlier chapters and removed the pet Teddy character.
There would be no dog-related plot from here on.
Tai Ri Tian had originally been designed mainly to provide some comic relief, while also fighting poison with poison to help Momonosuke, this wayward young man, return to the righteous path of abstinence from lust and women.
But perhaps the parody had gone too far; the response had not been very good.
In the end, I decided to revise it while the ship was still small enough to turn around.
After all, if the character was not well received, I would always feel uncomfortable whenever I wrote about him.
Next, I would have to spend quite a bit of effort revising the two saved chapters before posting them tonight, so I probably would not have much time to keep writing.
Sure enough, the real name of saved drafts was "drafts that can't be saved."
