author note

Hey everyone!

I hope you all loved Volume 3—it was a crazy ride! Next up is Volume 3.5, where we'll dive into the Chunin arena fights. (There's a sneak peek at the end!)

First off, a big thanks for your continued support and all those powerstones! 🙏 I'm a competitive guy, and I've got my sights set on staying in the top 25 for 30 days. I don't want to ask for too much (okay, maybe I do), but if each of you could drop just one powerstone, it would mean a lot!

Now, I've got some questions for you all:

1. Does my new writing style stand out?

I've been tweaking it with AI to keep things fresh. Can you tell the difference? Is it working for you?

2. Should we have a time skip?

I was thinking of doing some writing about the MC's life as a Chunin before jumping ahead (maybe 50-100 chapters). Would you prefer a time skip or more detail on his Chunin days?

3. Please review the novel!

If you've been enjoying the story, please leave a review! And to those who've made it through 260 chapters, even if you don't like it… why are you still here? 😂 Seriously, your perseverance is impressive!

Finally, thanks again for the powerstones! All are welcome (yes, really!), but if you can only spare one a day, I'll take it. Your support means everything!
