Chapter 684 unedited unmemed

This one is shorter than usual, but I've yet to edit the next chapter and see if I can abridge them. We'll see. Also, if anything doesn't make sense, please ask about it. I was just talking in discord about how I tend to forget to explain things that are super obvious to me, because I don't realize they need explaining. That's why a lot of my 'hints' and foreshadowing falls flat, because its so vague I'm the only one that can pick up on it, which is difficult to gauge well. Something to work ...

Sorry for late chapter. I had this mostly written, but in Yan's PoV, and i just didn't like it much. The ending is a little rushed too, because i need to edit 673 and get a start on 676, but decided to have dim sum with family and play with my niece and nephew for a few hours instead of writing all day. Hopefully, tmorrows chapter will be on time and i'll be back up to +5 by err... sunday? yea, sunday. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for reading! Hope yall enjoy. Peace.

Quick Update: January 2021

I'm currently aiming to have 661 written and released on jan 5th. Probably a rough, unedited version, but I'll try to have edited versions done right after, once you all have had a chance to comb through my most obvious and humiliating mistakes. For 3rd Grade Patreons, this means you'll get 661 on the 14th, and RR will get it on the 17th. I'm just laying this all out here to motivate me, because if I don't, I'll drag my heels and laze about. 


That's all. I should warn yo...
