Review Detail of buckibooster in Another World’s Versatile Crafting Master

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.
