A Note on My Health and Future Updates

My left hand has recovered a little, but not fully. I barely managed to write four thousand words. I thought it didn't hurt anymore, but after typing a little over a thousand words, it started aching in bursts again.

My left middle finger and index finger are still stiff right now. This is the first time I've experienced what it feels like when my hand can't keep up with my brain. All I can say is, halfway through typing, I nearly made myself lose my temper. It's kind of like playing a shooter, spotting someone, knowing how you should react and shoot, but your hands just won't coordinate. That kind of awkwardness. It's just frustrating. Incredibly frustrating.

June and July have honestly been nonstop trouble. Truly the power of Buddha. Before my left hand fully recovers, I'll probably only be able to do four thousand words a day. It's really hard to deal with.

Based on my original average update amount—around 220k to 250k words per month—this book should have been about finished by the end of August. Now, with all these delays one after another, it'll probably drag on until around October. My original plan has been thrown into chaos by a pile of accidents, and it's really irritating.

Thanks to stygain for the tip, becoming this book's sixth alliance leader. I'll add the four bonus chapters after I recover. As for the monthly-ticket bonus chapters, I honestly have the will but not the strength right now. If my health is in better shape later, I'll see how things go and add more then.

By the way, as an aside, several readers privately messaged me before, telling me not to let the trolls on some channels affect my mindset, and that I absolutely shouldn't give it a rushed ending
