Chapter 38 Truly Lucky

[Author's Note]

It's been brought to my attention that the story's progress might feel a bit too slow, even for a slow-paced novel for some of you. I'd love to know if that's generally the case or if I just need to pick up the pace slightly. Either way, our boy Michael is about to be on some demon time soon, hehe.

If the story does feel too slow, I apologize. I'm just a bit too used to setting down solid foundations for my novels (I'm a bit of an old author, haha). The advantage, though, is that once the groundwork is set, that's it. I also pride myself on being a good planner, so rest assured, everything has a purpose.

A lot of novels like this lose their integrity too quickly due to rushed power-ups, and that's something I want to avoid. That doesn't mean our boy won't have his power-up moments—he absolutely will, and plenty of them, and soon at that. However, he'll have to earn them.
