Taking a Few Days Off for National Day

My creative state had been sluggish lately, so I was going out to clear my head.

When I came back, I planned to finish writing the last major arc, then wrap things up.

Sorry—the quality and updates of this book's final volume had both been hard to put into words.

I could only blame myself for getting a sudden flash of inspiration and losing a hundred years, making many later events and characters difficult to write.

But things had come to this. I would stand at attention and take the beating.

There would still be an ending. I had written it long ago. My goal now was to finish the book by the end of October.

To give everyone who had followed it this far an explanation.
