Brothers, the new book has been released. The slow updates at the beginning are intentional, so let me explain. A new book needs good metrics, and if updates are too fast, it will be put behind a paywall too quickly—perhaps before it has even gone through all the recommendation slots. So during the early stage, the author can only become a one-update-a-day beast.
But to make it up to everyone, I've written another portion of the side story, around four thousand characters a day, mainly filling in gaps from the Central Plains arc.
Readers have said the Central Plains arc moved too quickly, and I feel the same way. Back then, wasn't I afraid people would say it was too padded? Now I'll try to patch up some of the holes. This current section is the experience of the Heavenly Flame Clone in Blazing Flame Valley. Once it's finished, the new book should have several tens of thousands of characters as well. If you're interested, feel free to check it out.
