I also just wanted to thank you for your comments and such as you've been reading. I *live* for reader interaction, and it means the world to me that you take the time to comment! <3

Aww, thank you so much! And it hasn't even gotten good yet - I didn't really start hitting my stride until about chapter 90 <3

It is a very short chapter. There were a lot of those through books II and III (chapters 25 through 75), as I was kind of trying to go with this "new scene = new chapter" mindset that resulted in some very short chapters. I've grown quite a bit as a writer, having learned better techniques for scene transitions and better ways to make even smaller scenes feel fuller, so you won't see as much of that once you get past chapter 80 or so. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for reading! <3

Thank you so much for your review, your kind words, and all your Power Stone votes! I'm hard at work on Book XI; it should start releasing probably in a week or two!

Sorry the story wasn't for you, but thanks so much for your review anyway! <3

Thank you for being my very first review on WebNovel!!

Quite a day for our girl! <3

So glad you're enjoying!

And a sorely needed one!

I did promise martial arts...

Thank you so much!

My first ever comment on WebNovel! Thank you so much for checking out Phoenix, and for interacting with it - and with me! <3 This is generally the chapter where readers realize "oh, okay, we're gonna be real about stuff."
