Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

I'm busy with some personal matters today, so I'm going to take a break for now. I'll make up for the remaining chapters tomorrow.

I've been having some issues lately, so I just took this opportunity to revise the outline a little and think about the plot behind it.

Some of the plots in the original outline also had to be changed, because I found that I had already written 1.8 million words. In fact, I originally planned to write it to just over two million, but if I continue writing it like this, I might not be able to finish even three million. Now that I’ve thought about it, I have to delete some branches...

That’s about it. Don’t wait for updates. Go to bed early. I’ll update as much as possible tomorrow and Sunday.
