Okay, I was actually planning to make this book a bit shorter, but sometimes there are situations in which I can't cut corners. This whole book was one of them.
This book was also an opportunity for me to prove myself that sometimes we can make the protagonists win against a stronger opponent (order of magnitudes type of stronger) and make it sound realistic (or at least believable in the universe's laws) at the same time. For comparison, the last two volumes didn't have much plot armor either, but they both ended up with the protagonists more or less 'losing'. The enemy we faced in this book was much more stronger, but since we had already hit the bottom and I couldn't push the story further downhill, I had to come up with realistic ways to make the protagonists win. Granted, the protagonists didn't gain much in means of raw power, but they did survive against worse odds than before. So my point is, in that means, this was the hardest book to write in this series, so I hope you appreciate the effort I put into this.
As always, thank you for reading, and I like getting feedback.
I don't know when I will pick up writing the next volume, but stay tuned!
