End-of-Volume Summary

There's not much to summarize~ I've already said a lot of what I wanted to say in my leave request. To put it generally, I'm satisfied with most of this volume. The parts I'm not satisfied with are the handling of Lai Er in the early stages and the appearance of Bai Wei in the final stages, which didn't quite achieve the expected effect, as well as the battle descriptions throughout. But these are also shortcomings in my writing skills, which I can only improve gradually (I saw a reader point out that there was a key setting at the end of the previous volume, which I did forget about and just Open the door directly, my apologies).

There's one last volume left. After much thought, I've decided to end it with a complete story, probably around 100,000 words.

No day off today, just the usual updates.
