Many people are cursing me, and I accept it.
The recent updates have truly, truly been lacking. Gouzi is really sorry, and he feels terrible about it.
Many readers have been cursing me, and I accept that too.
Actually, the story is more or less finished now. There are only one or two chapters left. I'm planning to combine them into one big chapter and finish the novel.
As for some of the less important things, I'll write about them in side stories later.
Honestly, I've deliberated over this for a long time recently. Finishing a novel is a first for me, and I always feel dissatisfied with what I've written, like something isn't quite right.
So I accept everyone's criticism.
I'm sorry. At the latest, within the next day or two, I'll polish the final chapter and bring this novel to an end.
