EDIT SEPTEMBER 14, 2019

BEFORE PROCEEDING, A FEW CHAPTERS BEFORE CHAPTER 30 ARE ACTUALLY TEN OR SO CHAPS SPLIT INTO TWO OR THREE. YOU MIGHT SUDDENLY FIND THOSE CHAPTERS ENDING SO ABRUPTLY OR BEING TOO SHORT. THE REASON BEHIND THE SPLITTING OF CHAPTERS IS TO CONFUSE THE DAMN BOTS STEALING MY WORK. 

Alright, the important part is in capslock already. In case it's still confusing, before the splitting of chaps, the story has 18 chapters. I don't know how many have already been copied by the aggregator sites, but after the split, their annoying bots are confused (hopefully, at least the first few chapters will deter readers to read on their site) by the sudden change in the numbering and either stopped or copied the wrong content, disrupting the story flow. I was advised to do this by another author so that even if they still copy the content, at least those reading from the aggregator sites will be as confused and then seek the original (hopefully).

If this per chance becomes an annoyance to your reading experience later, my apologies in advance. Believe me, I was also quite unwilling to do the editing back then since it's quite a lot of work and will make my chapters awkward. But I have no choice since if we don't do some tricks, the stealing won't stop. Folks, for authors it's not really funny to see the chapters we spent hours brainstorming and writing being stolen in just a matter of minutes or seconds after we published them.

I don't have many problems in life and many of my friends called me a pushover. But those posting my works to other sites without my permission are just very dislikable and I refuse to let them off so easily. Most of my chapters have disclaimers at the bottom. Forgive this shameless author for that one too.

That's all I want to say. Advance thanks for giving this post some of your time. And happy reading.
