Lately, writing the latter half has been smoother than before, and I think everyone has seen that. The ending is coming soon, so please wait patiently. Today, many guests came to my house, with people coming and going, and the TV was on, which made my thoughts very chaotic. I sat for several hours and only wrote a few hundred words, which was frustrating.

Everyone's family inevitably encounters such situations, and I apologize to you all. I really don't want to ask for leave at this time, especially since the book is coming to an end, but there is no other way.

I will honestly confess that *Thief Reborn* really didn't have an outline, which led to a bit of plot control loss in the later stages. It doesn't look as good as the first half, and I didn't have much inspiration for writing, so the word count was also slow. In addition, there were also health reasons. One year and two months is truly a long drawn-out war, but fortunately, I persevered.

*Thief Reborn* will probably be finished around the beginning of next month. After it is finished, I need to take a complete rest. Writing continuously would definitely be too much for me. I plan to release a new book around November 25th. I'm announcing it in advance now, so please support me then.
