A/N: Greetings! Hope y’all are doing well. I’m officially without wisdom-teeth-less. 2/10 experience. Aside from the annoying ache, the worst part was being unable to eat any satisfying food. Glad to be mostly through with it!I also made some decent progress editing book 3, and naturally realized how much work it is. 2-4 hours to edit per chapter with book 3 having 96 chapters.

Chapter 322 - Light Spectacle
A/N: Greetings! Hope y’all are doing well.Just wanted to give a heads up! I’m going to aim the chapters to be 2k+ words from here on out until I finish editing book 3. Editing book 2 was one of the main reasons I burned out this fall, so this time I want to pace myself.Either case, creating a satisfying chapter always takes precedence.
