Venting!

The novel which the manga is based on is still ongoing. For this arc, there’s a character whose ending is open ended but the overall ending for this arc isn’t open.

I didn't talk about this arc tho?! And I know the novel is still ongoing that's why I said "hope we get a proper ending". It's just the author, Hyuuga, has mentioned that the story is not intended to have a definitive, closed-off ending.

Where can I read the novel?
Link plssss

I’m guessing she recently said this then. I saw like a month ago she said that the novel was suppose to end at an earlier volume but since she’s continuing it, she doesn’t know how she wants to end it yet. Do you remember where you saw it? I would love to read it! (●'◡'●)ﾉ

Sorry, I don’t have a link but I used Everand. It’s an ebook subscription service but you can make free trials to read them.

I actually follow a YouTube channel called Akira, she reads the novel and delivers to us latest events, also people discuss in the comments that the author Natsu originally wanted to end it in v12 as open-ending with a kiss. However, she scrapped this idea to them develop more in character and story, still that doesn't mean she will not let it end as open-ending. Anyways here are the links if you would like:

And this is exactly what she said:

"Ultimately, I want to end the story in a way that satisfies the readers and leaves them with a lingering impression.

Rather than concluding with [happily ever after], I want to show that even though the story has ended, their lives still continue.
I don't know when that will be, but I hope to be able to end it in that way."

Let's hope we get a proper ending ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I mean this doesn't seem like the type of story that'd need a definitive ending. Maomao doesn't have a proper goal, one thing that's driving the story. If most of the characters get somehow ending, that's fine enough

I agree. Very annoying!

I don't think it needs a definitive ending, but a coherent ending, totally in need to wrap things up
Like, what about Jinshi's history, the throne, their romance (I swear, if they end just with a platonic love, gonna kill them all!!!! (╬￣皿￣)凸 )

SPOILER

I mean they already almost had $€× so the romance plot won't be forgotten

Thanks!

Omg omg omg omg
When? Vol and chap plsssss
