A word about the update schedule~
Just now, I saw some dear readers in the group saying, "Why does Old Cow appear and vanish like a ghost? The update times are so uncertain."
Well, it's because Old Cow doesn't have any saved drafts either. Everything is written and posted on the spot. If things go smoothly, it's fine, but getting stuck is truly painful. There's no way to guarantee an exact time!
Anyway, Old Cow usually gets up at six in the morning. After dealing with the household odds and ends, and taking care of Little Cow while at it, he starts writing. If things go smoothly, he should be able to finish the first chapter before nine.
If things go especially smoothly, he can finish the second chapter around one in the afternoon.
If things go extraordinarily smoothly, he can finish the third chapter before eight in the evening.
Actually, Old Cow also really wants to post three or even four chapters every day, to present the entire world sketched in his heart to all you dear brothers and sisters sooner. But all sorts of inexplicable situations seem to crop up all the time, hahaha.
Ever since this month's new arc began, Old Cow has been thinking, searching for the rhythm. By his own reckoning, he should have more or less found it now. Hopefully, the pace ahead can soar, and we can fight this battle to the finish—freely and heartily, beautifully and brilliantly!
