Far too much to condense here unfortunately. There were over 1000 questions asked in her most recent one. It’s mostly answering questions to help flesh out the world

Yes! The author had a Q&A recently on her private Q&A blog. She’s planning several smaller stories similar to Gabel’s POV and a longer one later in the year. There’s no definite time scale as she’s writing her next work, but there are still stories she wants to tell.

There’s 210 chapters in book 2 and one two chapter Riftan POV afterwards (more side stories to follow 🥳)

Oh Riftan…

The author said in one of her Q&A’s that Riftan coined it for himself as it means something along the lines of ‘the sword provides.’ He was abandoned by his parents and now only relies on the sword to provide for him 😭

Here we goooooo!

An absolutely amazing story. This is my all time favourite story without a shadow of a doubt. I have been reading the story on Ridi and am so happy that there is now an official English translation. You think it’s a sweet little romance but OH NO it’s so much more... there’s romance and snu but also comedy, fluff, angst, action, fantasy… my life has not been my own since I started reading this series. KSJ is truly a once in a lifetime talented writer.

She doesn’t have any. Her father has her healed with divine magic every time he beats her so she doesn’t scar

I adore this story and am so glad that it's finally got an official English translation. It's the best story I've ever read, hands down. The author is able to weave a compelling story with characters that it seems almost impossible to fathom are not real people.
