Though the title has reverted to the monthly forecast format, I don't think the nature of "fortune telling" and "mockery," along with the points of contention, will change.

Due to some reasons, I need to write "more diligently" starting this month.

Of course, the so-called "some reasons" can actually be explained in two sentences—until the end of the year, there will be relatively large pressure from life, especially in terms of finances.

That's roughly the situation, so please don't have high expectations for videos and livestreams. It's possible they won't return until next year.

At the beginning of this year, I said that it would be a busy and hard year, and I am currently working hard in this "busy" and "hard" process.

In addition, the "more diligently" thing may not be reflected in the update frequency of the novel, but the total number of words written each month will definitely increase significantly compared to the past.

I'll also mention another piece of news here again. Due to the continued rise in prices in recent years, the printing cost of *Thriller Paradise* physical books has doubled. We have to reduce the thickness of each volume to control costs so that the price per volume of the series doesn't fluctuate too much.

If you're angry about this, feel free to direct your anger at the relevant departments in charge of price controls. Anyway, they've been absorbing hate for many years and don't care.

Okay, I've said a lot of idle talk. It's almost time to start the "pre(dictive) cast(ing)."

As you can see, the story has now entered the *Darkest Night* plot. Please note that this volume is already the Peak Showdown Season 3, so each script in this volume serves the final plot.

The previous *Say My Name* was mainly to allow Feng Bujue to recover his lost data and get further strengthened. Of course, I haven't specified exactly where this "strengthening" lies.

And *Darkest Night* will explain a series of dramatic changes that occurred in the main universe after *Return to Mount Mastication*. This is considered the first major event of Season 3.

I don't know if I can finish this plot this month, but I can be sure that after *Darkest Night* ends, the rules of Season 3 will be announced and the preliminary round will begin, followed by the semi-finals, finals, and finally the ending.

Well, that's all for this time. Let's talk again in next month's forecast.
