Yeah, I'm aware. Sadly, I came to realize that I infused a BIT too much romance into the story by the time it was no longer plausible for me to change it. Worry not, though, there's a fair bit of crafting later on too! :3

That's called description, serving to give the reader a better picture of what's happening/the scene/the emotions, as opposed to just going from "You just got stronger by X" to "you just got stronger by Y"

No, no way in hell. With every day that I'm not writing the story, I'm growing more and more desperate to just get back to it but... Ugh, I really don't want to be making excuses, but in over five years of writing on webnovel (most of which, I was writing daily and A LOT more than I did recently) I can't recall ever struggling as much as I did to write recently. But hey, finally managed to push through and write a chapter (albeit, for another story) so I really hope I will get some sleep and then finally break the curse that held me captive the last few days. Tl:DR - I'm burned out like never before, but I'm growing desperate enough to just push through it anyway, hopefully, new chapters should come up by the end of today.

Shush :D

The folding method used in making of Japaneese katana's wasn't a revolutionary or specially effective method. It was the only option they had to work with the poor quality metal that was present on their island. The rest is pretty much nerdish culture doing its magic of mystificying everything that's related to Japaneese history. It sounds cool, but actually had little to no effect of the quality if you can get yourself good quality steel to begin with. Then again, who am I to say that MC reached the peak of his ability to craft? :3

Read to find out :D What I can tell is that this part wasn't written randomly just to sound cool, but is a legitimate part of the story :3 (although, if you check your last paragraph comments, you might start seeing some connections)

Thanks for the good word! The cover is ai-made, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were others like it

This part is intentionally convoluted and not really clear yet.

I do that at times >.> But trying not to if I don't really have to

Soon.(TM)
