As most of you are probably aware, I was on hiatus this past week, and I spent some time working on my plan for the remainder of the story, and I figured I'd share my progress in that regard, since I already did it on my Patreon. Also, I saw some other authors do popularity polls and I wanted to do one too.

  Going into the hiatus, I believed that the story was approaching its climax. There would be big battles, Demon Kings would die, character arcs would end, and the story would be over. However, as I started trying to plan out the rest of the story, I realized that it was actually the opposite. The story's just beginning. I don't make solid plans, because I always end up not following them, so putting too much effort into them would be a waste of time, but based on my vague plans and general plot ideas, there is still a lot that needs to happen before the series can wrap up.

  There's a lot more that I could say, but I'm not sure what I should say, or what you guys would want to hear, so I'll stop there. If you have any questions, I do read every single comment, and I would be happy to answer any non-spoilery, non-personal questions that you may have (Tomorrow when I wake up. I am feeling sick and am going to bed right now).

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  For the popularity poll, I tried to include every character with any importance to the plot, but I may have missed one or two. If so, just put them in the comments and call me a nincompoop.

  When creating the poll, I set the number of answers per user to 6. I'm not sure if that means you can select 6 answers to the poll in one go, or if it means you can take the poll 6 times. If it's the second option, I encourage you to use your 6 chances to vote for different characters, but if you want to put all 6 of your votes into Jacques, be my guest. If you want, you can give 3 votes to your favorite, 2 to your second favorite, and 1 to your third. That might be a good way to rank your favorites. Giving you all this many votes is an excellent plan, and there is no way it can backfire on me.
