HELLO THERE, DISCIPLES.

  YOUR PATRIARCH HERE TO BRING YOU SOME NEWS.

  YESTERDAY YOUR MIGHTY PATRIARCH WAS SWEPT INTO THE CELEBRATIONS AND COULDN'T MANAGE TO POST A TDD CHAPTER. SO, SINCE TODAY IS GOING TO BE HECTIC, HE'S GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER BREATHER AND RESUME THE USUAL POSTING TOMORROW, 26TH DECEMBER.

  HONESTLY, IT PAINS THIS PATRIARCH NOT TO POST A CHAPTER EVERY SINGLE DAY, EVEN DURING CHRISTMAS, BUT IT'S BETTER NOT TO BURN THROUGH THE LITTLE BACKLOG WE ARE BUILDING. THIS SHOULD BE THE ONLY INTERRUPTION FOR THE FORESEABLE FUTURE.

  THE PLAGUE DOCTOR INVESTIGATION ARC IS TURNING INTO SOMETHING MUCH DIFFERENT, ISN'T IT? I CAN'T WAIT TO WRITE A MORE FAST-PACED ARC AFTER THE WHOLE LOT WORLD-BUILDING WE HAVE DONE IN VOLUME THREE. THE VOLUME IS NOT OFFICIALLY DONE YET. I'M STILL WRITING THE LAST CHAPTERS AND THEN I'LL CLOSE IT WITH A SIDE STORY. IT SHOULD TAKE AROUND 7-8 CHAPTERS FROM NOW, MAYBE A BIT MORE. I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE.

  IN THE MEANTIME, THE CAPS-LOCK SECT SMASHED THE RANKINGS WITH CASUAL HEROING!

  LOOK AT THIS BAD BOY!

  AND LEAVE A NICE RATING IF YOU ENJOYED IT! WE ARE CURRENTLY SITTING AT 4.55 AND I'M SURE WE CAN DO EVEN BETTER! LET'S CRUSH THE RISING STARS!

  AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
