I'll keep this short and honest.
There won't be chapter releases on the 9th and 11th.
Over the past few days, academic responsibilities have piled up more than expected, and alongside that, I've been dealing with some health issues that need proper attention. I tried to push through at first, but it became clear that doing so would either burn me out or affect the quality of the chapters, and I don't want to give you something rushed or half-done.
So instead of forcing it, I'm taking a brief pause to recover and get things back under control.
The next chapter will be released on the 14th.
This isn't a long break, just enough time to reset and come back properly. I'd rather delay slightly than compromise what I'm building here.
Thank you for the patience and for continuing to read. It genuinely means a lot.
See you on the 14th.
