End of 2023! (Patreon)

(Copy pasted Author Notes from Chapter 495 so that other tiers can read this as well).

Wow, can't believe that 2023 has ended and that I didn't miss a single chapter in the entire year. I don't think I'd have been able to do that without your love and support. Here's to hoping that I manage to do the same in 2024 as well (though it is very unlikely for the story to last the entire year). Honestly a bit surprised that we haven't reached the canon officially yet. That said, it will happen very soon (hopefully in the first half of January).

Fujin has trained extremely hard to increase his power to a level where he can affect the plot and make it more advantageous to him. Here onwards, we will slowly see Fujin make a few changes, some minor and some major, that will eventually have a huge effect on the future. Whether that will be good or bad and whether these changes will help him or make things more difficult for him remains to be seen.

Anyway, since tomorrow is the new year, I'll be giving a New Year Gift :)
As for what it'll be, you need to guess. (PS: It's not a mass release. I still don't have any chapters saved up. Don't want to get your hopes high on this).

All said, Happy New Year to the ones living in Australia, New Zealand and East Asia. Everyone else, have a wonderful New Year's party and enjoy yourself tonight. See you guys very soon.
