Saw Someone Say It Was Filler, So Let Me Explain Briefly

The previous chapter was the last one focused on dialogue and plot. From here on, it was all fights. I had already written all the setup needed for the ending. If you still couldn't understand the later plot, you'd probably skipped chapters. Just go back and read from earlier.

Everything after this was combat. If you didn't particularly enjoy that, you could wait until it ended and check the reception on Tieba and NGA first.
