Volume 3 Afterword, Volume 4 Spoiler
Hello again everyone,
First, thanks for sticking with the book for 3 volumes and over 200 chapters. If you are liking the story and have not already done so, please considering giving the story a rating or review. It really helps drive more traffic here and puts the story in front of more eyes.
I know there were significant criticisms about the use of memory orbs near the end of the volume, especially the inclusion of Meng LuYao, but I feel this is best for the long-term health of the story. Fang needs peers he can grow with, and this is the start of that process. This will likely create a few additional road bumps for him in the future, but that's life. Everything you do has consequences.
Like normal for the end of a volume, I'm taking tomorrow off, and Volume 4 will start on Monday. I will try to get the end of volume cost charts updated and posted by tomorrow.
I hope everyone sticks around to see what's next.
The general direction of the next volume probably won't shock anyone at this point, but the specifics of how it is handled might not be what you expect. It doesn't quite match up with the standard tropes, but after a lot of thought, and after a major rewrite from the original drafts, it feels like it is the right direction for Su Fang.
