And here we are. After half a year and many chapters, we've come to this point. I've tried to do a modernized and grounded take on the young master trope and I can only hope that people find it satisfying.
There's one more chapter entitled "Life Has No Epilogues" that will wrap up some things. After that, instead of a chapter post, I intend to do a poll to find out what future release pace you guys generally prefer. Once the story is finished on RoyalRoad, I'll be releasing an Amazon version and I hope you will consider leaving it a review.
But more on that later. For now, I hope you have enjoyed this and that you'll look forward to the next chapter. ^-^

2019-07-20 12:31:47 +0000 UTCThanks, glad you liked the resolution! All the options will be larger chunks than average, since I haven't found the rapid pace to work as well for me. Stay tuned for a poll about this after the last chapter!

2019-07-20 12:27:12 +0000 UTCThanks! This trope usually ends in death or something severe, but I felt like this would be a more realistic resolution for the modern feeling. Biting your thumb to get blood is a trope, maybe one that should have been changed, but I wanted to give Melissa something cool at the end.

2019-07-20 12:26:18 +0000 UTCI don't normally like cultivation novels, but your story may have changed that.

2019-07-20 10:20:11 +0000 UTCThank you so much! This chapter (and book) was epic! Really felt like the payoff we've all been waiting for, and you executed it perfectly :)

Man, memories... > I intend to do a poll to find out what future release pace you guys generally prefer. I'm personally partial to chapters like these. It might take longer to write, but it's so enjoyable to be able to read the story by chunks like these. Also, 10/10 fight, very satisfying resolution. A perfect ending to the book, imo!

2019-07-20 03:29:33 +0000 UTCGreat finish! It would have been satisfying to see Rick leave Mike with some kind of permanent damage to his lucrim, or something of that sort, but with his father there watching, something like that which creates lasting consequences for Mike might have risked prolonging the grudge. As an aside though, Melissa cutting her thumb with her teeth sounds astonishingly painful. Especially if it's in front along the print of her thumb, tearing through the thick skin with her own teeth seems so masochistic, it sounds like it could constitute a formidable intimidation tactic all by itself.

2019-07-20 03:18:30 +0000 UTCVery happy to hear you enjoyed it. ^-^ I tried to plan and pace the story so that it would read well as a novel (I can only hope readers who experience it that way agree). However, the short chapter lengths, chapter titles, and cliffhangers were all consciously done because of the serialized form.
Sarah Lin
2019-07-20 02:20:38 +0000 UTCOn a side note do you think you'd write this story differently if it was a continuous novel instead of a serialized story?

2019-07-20 02:07:21 +0000 UTCThis was epic! I had to stop myself from scrolling to the end to see what happened.
