I know it isn't, probably, but man, this really feels like the last few mettups before the grand fanale.

Wow

unbased

Why is the chapter called epilouge...

What an intresting turn. I love that he kept the two divine memories, as the Shadow Lantern is related to shadows (I don't remember if the weave was made from shadoe eaccense or not, or maybe it's because it was a legacy memory) and Weaver's Mask since just like the crown Nephis obtained on the forgotten shore, the mask was able exist even after the death of the bodies they found each respective item on. Which I'll assume is why Sunny kept the mask~ I am very curious how Guilty will take the story from here. With so many ongoing plotlines still open, it's another wrench to mix it all up.

You're evil, don't give guilty ideas!

As soon we get comfortable, he pulls the rug from underneath us

Are you real?

Haha, just kidding, I can wait...

Where's the rest

Guilty, you're such a beatiful man.

Haaaaaaaa, another day. I have to wait another day!!!!

TLDR: This is an amazing story. It is the length of a regular novel, a good 6-10 hour read, and it will leave a lasting impact on your very soul. I 100% recommended this if you're here to begin with. Guilty is easily my favorite novelist/writer I've ever read from. I've read both horrendous and glorious books, webnovels, light novels, and everything in-between, and very few get the same reaction of hunger to read more. Being his first serious novel, you'd expect a starter's quality of writing. But do not be fooled, this is nothing but! Free Fall has one of the most expressive and exhilarating plots I've read! And although it was cut short due to the lack of interest on Webnovel, the story conveyed is fulfilling and ends on a conclusion I wish more stories were willing to take. Nothing is made to last forever, and Guilty has managed to fit so much in only 60 chapters. The quality of writing is beyond exceptional. Everything flows together, and you can easily picture each and every scene. The story never feels drawn out, over-described, under-described, and incoherent, which is a serious issue with even some of the top ranking novels! There was maybe 6 spelling mistakes and a grammar issue or two throughout the ENTIRE story, and the only reason they probably aren't fixed is because Webnovel punishes authors for making edits by deleting chapter comments and the such. But obviously, it's unmentionable, and that shouldn't affect anyone's choice in picking this up or not. The story development is spot on, and although I would've liked to linger in some places longer, it didn't make sense to for a general audience and a daily upload schedule. But the pacing is practically perfect, and consistently so too. Which is hard to say about many other novels. But then again, that's probably attributed to not being 1000+ chapters long partly. Character design is wonderful, you can vividly picture and understand each character well. The growth feels right, and the characters do not feel one dimensional. This is usually one of the toughest challenges authors seem to face, but Guilty has nailed it down. The world development is amazing, but I just wish I had a bit more, even accounting for the shorter run-time. But that's not to say what we have isn't just above and beyond anyway! Anywho, the question is, should you read this? Yes, 100%. If you are here to begin with, I am very confident you're already predisposed to love this story in its entirety. Just take the leap and do so! I know I hesitated for too long~

To me, the 'unsatosfaction' you mention is the point. While I am as in just as much turmoil as you, this is probably one of the best endings there could have been. Matthew represented what he believed in, through-and-through, and for that he paid the price. It leaves us, the readers, to imagine how the rest will go. What happens next? The Agency? The fleeting connections Matthew made? It just goes on and on. And because nothing can last forever, the way it ended was close to perfect in my mind. Would I be satisfied with being given the answers? Would quenching this thirst to just know a few words more satisfy me? Or is this dying need to have a fuller conclusion, that feeling tearing me inside, that is truly the satisfaction Guilty had left us with? That's my little introspection, at least. It's why I loved the ending of The Legendary Mechanic. I don't think every story should end as such, but Guilty made it feel right. But ignore me, I just wanted to flesh out my feelings~

Wow. You've conveyed something to me that truly has me torn. As your first novel, I can only say that I could have never telled. Here I was, searching for something that would spark something in me, finally deciding to take the jump and try out Free Fall. Man, do I regret hesitating. Thank you so much for the story. Thank you for ending it where you did. You've truly left a mark I won't forget.

Did you mean reflective, or is he bending reflective objects physically?

My heart man! You pull it taut every other chapter, giving us a slight reprieve, but not too much slack, only to tug it tighter! Ahhhhhh

Roll credits

That cut deep for me.

I never expected myself getting so hooked in the course of a few hours!
