Chapter 297 - Author Distress

Hey guys, it's your author here. I really wanted to post a new chapter today, but honestly, things have been so hectic. School and work are completely overwhelming me, and it's hard to focus on anything else when my mind feels like it's bursting with stress. I'm trying to push through, but I just don't know if I'll be able to get the chapter out today. I feel bad about it, but I hope you can understand. Thanks for being patient with me! Don't worry, though. Once I get through all this stress and manage to release some of it, I'll be back and ready to post. Thanks for hanging in there with me!
