Thank you so much for understanding as well as supporting my change of plans. Shorter chapters will be easier to manage and produce so this change might actually mean I'll be able to give both quantity and quality!
Your opinion on why my changes to the author's note seemed to work better at the end was the same as my own when I first thought about it, so I'll be sticking with my current format from now on unless something makes me have to push it ahead.
Just like what I tried to do back in Volume 1, my characters will get their share of light-hearted moments and sometimes childish squabbles whenever nothing serious is going on. Once it's time for the opposite, however, the humor is pushed mostly aside as I want a serious situation to be treated as such. I say mostly because there may come a time that something funny could appropriately happen in the middle of a fight. I'll try my best not to let it take the full attention out of what's more important, though!
Your reaction from instantly realizing it was Mary Glow's crew from just the paint on shoes was just what I hoped my readers would do! Cheers! 🙌
It also left me with a great feeling of relief that you still enjoyed the chapter even though it's been two months since the last update along with the fact that it's also been shortened. I honestly wasn't expecting those kind words toward the chapter's flow, humor, description, and other aspects that made it as I felt I could only accomplish those with a full scenario -- partly the reason why I often produced long chapters back then. Really, it means a lot to me that you still feel this way. 😭
I'd like to state now that what Davis and Viola dealt with so far were merely grunts. The last seven "rainbow" delinquents will force them to step up their game!
Oh, and this was probably the final time the story trolls the blond man's name. 😉
