From what I heard this is a free webcomic and something the author does out of their own enjoyment. There is no deadline or anything to restrict or hurry along Old Xian. I think unless the author gets bored or something happens this will be around for years to come.
Welp I'll be old and crusty when this is completed lmao or I might be dead, reading this in hell lol
Then may the author live looooong n happy life to keep this legacy going on n we can continue reading forever
Ahhhh we're getting another side character flashback lol at this rate it will be another 20 years before this story completed lmao
