So... yeah.. it's been a rough volume. I looked back, and apparently said almost the same thing at the end of the last volume, health, difficulties, blah, blah, blah. With this one I finally gave up and stopped trying to produce a daily release. When I did that I imagined that I'd do better after a while and recreate a buffer. That didn't happen.

I was really tempted to take more than a week off between volumes and try to build up a buffer, but... I think I'm just going to leave it at a week, and try to maintain this 4 days a week schedule. I wish I were up to resuming daily releases, but I'm just not.

I did decide to go ahead and do a 5th volume, so that I didn't have to suddenly cram everything into this one when I realized how much I still hadn't gotten to halfway in. I'm not sure if the expansion is my inexperience, or if I've added too many trivial details that an editor would cut out.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

I may produce Volume 5 one even slower than Volume 4, but I'm still determined to go ahead and finish the story. Thanks for your support along the way!

At this point, I don't know about writing out Jade's story afterward (there's a really short quick version 'Jade System' that I did for one of the contests). Maybe I'll take a half a year or off, like I did with Kiri. Or maybe my condition will stabilize for awhile and I'll just keep on. I don't know.

This ebook of my webnovel was made possible with the support of my patrons on my page at patreon.com/gusdefrog. Special thanks to Moefiki, for your token of appreciation, my thanks again!

Thanks for reading! ⭐️❤️
