The story is over. I don't know if you'd call it an abrupt ending, but either way, I can't think of any more plot for the main story.
The writing wasn't very good, and there are a few loose ends I never fully tied up. For instance, Harley's Beyonder Characteristics already violated the Law of Conservation of Beyonder Characteristics. I'd originally planned to use Amon to address that, but apparently readers didn't like Amon much, so I wrote him out. That left me with no way to patch up this plot hole, either.
This was the first book I managed to write all the way through. I'd written an HP book and a Dragon Raja book before, but old readers probably know that the HP one was terrible. Even I couldn't stand reading it, and I hastily wrapped it up at 420,000 words. As for Dragon Raja, after I'd written 100,000 words, pretty much all the readers had left, so I had no choice but to drop it. You could say this was the first story I'd ever completed from beginning to end, and the first book of mine to break 1.2 million words.
When I first planned my third book, I wanted to write Harry Returning from the Three Kingdoms. I had in mind a fantastical version of the Three Kingdoms era, with time travel: Harry would use a special Time-Turner to travel to the Three Kingdoms in the magical world and then return.
But at the time, I was chatting with an author friend who wanted to write Harry Returning from the Lord of the Mysteries, and he asked what I thought. Of course, I had nothing to say. Back then, I was still a complete flop, and his first book had done much better than mine. He
