I wish my dear readers good health in the new year, happy and fulfilling family lives, smooth sailing in your careers, great wealth, great luck, and nonstop happiness!
This book is expected to wrap up within two months. Of course, if I can keep making easy money off this crap, that would be best, though it really isn't much anyway. Barring anything unexpected, though, I'll still bring it to a close according to plan.
Aside from that, well, I just wanted to let everyone know in advance: although I wanted to build up a backlog before the New Year, as you've probably all seen, I posted everything to make up for the updates I owed. That means I still don't have a single chapter in reserve for these days over the New Year. Add in all the usual holiday obligations, plus having to rush back today, and keeping up the same update schedule as before will be difficult.
So updates may be irregular all the way through the seventh day of the lunar new year. Whether I can get an update out will depend entirely on whether I have to attend a banquet that day. If there's no update, I won't make a separate announcement... I hope you'll understand, and it's a good chance for you all to spend more time with your families too.
After the seventh day, updates will return to normal.
Once again, I wish everyone a new year with a future as splendid as brocade, full of happiness and fulfillment!
