Although the title has reverted to the "monthly forecast" style, I doubt the nature and flaws of "fortune-telling" and "mockery" will change.

Due to certain reasons, I need to write "more diligently" starting this month.

Of course, the so-called "certain reasons" can be explained in two sentences—until the end of the year, I'll face considerable pressure from life, especially in terms of finances.

That's pretty much the situation, so please don't have high expectations for videos and livestreams; they might not return until next year.

At the beginning of this year, I said it would be a busy and arduous year, and I'm currently working hard through this "busy" and "arduous" process.

Also, regarding the "more diligently" thing, it might not necessarily be reflected in the update frequency of the novel, but the total number of words written each month will definitely be significantly higher than in the past.

There's another piece of news I'll mention again here. Due to the ever-increasing prices over the past few years, the printing cost of the *Thriller Paradise* physical books has doubled. To control costs, we've had to reduce the thickness of each volume to ensure the individual book price in the series doesn't fluctuate too much.

If you're angry about this, feel free to direct your rage toward the relevant departments controlling prices. They've been shouldering hatred for many years and don't care at all.

Okay, I've rambled on for a while; it's about time to start the "pre(dicting the fu)ture."

As you can see, the story has now entered the *Blackest Night* arc. Please note that this volume is already the "Peak Melee S3," so each script in this volume serves the concluding storyline.

The previous *Say My Name* was mainly to restore Feng Bujue's lost data and further strengthen him. Of course, I haven't specified exactly where this "strengthening" lies yet.

And *Blackest Night* will explain the series of dramatic changes that occurred in the main universe after *Return to Mount Chewer*. This can be considered the first major event of S3.

I don't know if I can finish this arc this month, but what's certain is that after *Blackest Night* ends, the rules of S3 will be announced, and we'll enter the preliminaries, followed by the semi-finals, finals, and ultimately, the ending.

Well, that's all for this time. Let's chat again during next month's forecast.
