you know I actually forgot this idea I had for you but you went on hiatus the first time and knew you were dealing with some things but I just remembered when you brought up Shane's devour ability. What if... Shane devoured the poison from Jasmine and instead of destroying her body to be remade she'd have her strength dropped but would still need to repair instead of remake her body. I just thought this idea would be good for 2 reasons... 1: Jasmine would be able to mature out of that loli form. Nothing against lolis, but I'd see them as little sisters rather than potential interests. 2: She would be able to properly interact with Shane and Qingyue on a more personal level rather than being a voice inside his head. Granted this is just my opinion but I always thought for someone of her beauty and place in the story she really felt like a side character and then *boom* separation arc. keep up the good work author!!!
