Barring the strange mishaps with uploading the last 10 or so chapters of season 3 into the season 4 volume, season 3 was a bit of a roller coaster for me. This was the time when the story was recommended, when the contracts and premiums finally went through and all of the other outside stuff with the novel is happening.
When I was envisioning the third season, I wanted it to be about strength, and those that sits on the apex of power, hence the name. The season kicked off with the Meeting of the Ten Fingers arc, which lead us to be introduced to major players in the future war arcs to come. Then, it really did feel like 20 straight chapters of Ally getting stronger and getting some character developments, which is not what I really intended for it to be, but the scenarios she was put in was just so interesting that I ended up spoiling the best silver girl for a little while, all the way until the end of the chapter.
Oh yeah, there was also the bit when Jon looked back at how he became unofficially the world's strongest cameraman by taking the job from the Thumbs, Bones and Freya finally getting together, and then Jon becoming officially the world's strongest cameraman at the end of the season.
Overall, it felt more like a bridging season, when season 3 is more dealing with the aftermaths of season 2.
Looking onward to season 4 which comes out the next day, because I am doing the dailies until the end of the series, what will happen?
Season 4 will be focusing heavily on the conflicts between S Prime and the Underworld, with the first major story arc being John Cutter going down there with his two sexy assistants and making his way to becoming the fifth heavenly lord, then we will turn our attention back to our main group of characters as shocking news come out from the underworld.
A few of the initially planned plot points were pushed quite a bit further back from the end of season 3 to the middle of season 4, but I think it will all flow better that way in the end.
On the side of long running plot points, season 4 will introduce John Cutter's harem , the Queen and the Four Heavenly Lords, the return of Leila and the people of the Edge and the first open conflict between S Prime and the forces of the Underworld.
Look forward to it. Season 4: Underworld Legends...(properly) begins tomorrow.
