I've just finished reading Chapter 1242. The author spent about 10 chapters covering an auction. There are now only 67 chapters left in the book and there are mountains of unresolved plot elements. I can only expect the author to abandon any real story development in getting the book wrapped up in the next 67 chapters. It's like he/she dragged the story on chapter after chapter and then decided to wrap it up and sprint to the end without any consideration for story quality.
The author tends to digress a lot. He just spent two chapters talking about the elven kingdom in the middle of a scene at the Seven Leaf Grass herb shop. He also dropped Rina from the story of Felic's adventures in the mountains. Did she just go on a picnic while Felic adventured?
I've read ebooks on a lot of different web sites and the one thing that all of them have in common is that no effort is ever made to police their authors. Authors of ongoing books (I.e., novels not yet completed) are allowed to publish at their own pace ignoring the commitments made to their readers. Professionals meet their commitments and their bosses take appropriate actions when they don't. That is why I will never again start reading a book that has not yet been completed. Unfortunately, I only discovered this rampent lack of professionalism after I started reading this book.
