Patch Note, early chapter change
My dear reader, for those that read the story after this notice was posted: You might not need to read this, so you can just skip this one.
My beloved reader, I repeat. This is a notice I've written to inform you of a recent addition to the previous chapter.
As of now, I've rewritten chapters 15–8 and 19–20. It's an additional chapter, where Claude's story before he met with Rudeus in Dedoldia village has not really undergone any important change; it's just a filler chapter in my opinion, which is why I didn't write them before. However, since there are people who don't like having Rudeus' POV lengthened, I write those.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Anyway, there are several plot holes where I don't deem it necessary to write in the past. But I later added them back in.
1. Claude's character inconsistencies are because of Kuro's memory; as a 7-year-old kid, he was forced to watch how Kuro died in the Dungeon. Because of a light mental breakdown, he became more narcissistic than before, which lessened after he bypassed the metastasis tragedy.
2. Ashpalt Road—you might be wondering about this since reading about them. There are two purposes for making this road:
a. One is to allow merchants to enter the village more quickly, giving villagers more job opportunities and increasing the village economy.
b. It's to trap the slavers that move using the road; this is the time when Rudeus gathered his Arbalest group and trained them.
c. Uh… There shouldn't be any more...
That's all the changes and plot holes I'm aware of; please leave a comment if you know of any others!
PS: Don't be a sissy and comment about the quotation error, lol. They should be fixed at this point anyway; alert me when you find them. I'm using editing software, which creates them automatically, and I'm working alone, so it's tiring to edit them every day while having real life and focusing on creating new chapters...
I'll think of hiring an editor after having more patrons...
