Michiroon delivered the finished art early this morning, and I just finished adding in the title.
I decided to forego adding the volume number because this is a web novel. I'll add the number when I publish the light novel version.
Because this is a Chinese cultivation novel, I also d...

Here is a sketch for the cover of Severing Time & Space!
I requested a few changes from Michiroon, like to make Wu Jian look less arrogant and to give Wu Meiying a smile so she looks happy, but aside from that, I am pretty satisfied.
What do you think?
