NOVEL NEXT Setting Material 1 ★
(Note: Warning!!!!!! Only read this when you have finished ch 38)
Setting Material 1 ★
Setting Material is divided into two types.
The first part summarizes the information introduced up to this point in a simple manner.
The next ★ version includes character anecdotes that will never be mentioned again, such as “What happened to that character?” This version also includes more trivia. However, to accommodate those who dislike setting material, I’ll leave space between the sections, so you don’t have to read both parts.
(Note: At the raw, setting materials has two version (with star and no star) as explained above. But, I only upload the star version because for “setting material 1” both has the same content. There will be difference going on in the later setting materials. This novel has 200 chs on raw so be patient)
