Oh my god thanks for the enthusiasm and thanks for liking the long chapters! In the old version I did really short chapters, like around 2000 words but current chapters are all at least 4000-5000 words, so yeah, it's definitely a pain to vomit all those words, but I think it helps the flow of the story! Glad you appreciated that :D
P.S.: No shame in saying this but I think you found the best way to spend your summer holiday afternoons LOL Well, I personally read a lot of books during summers too :)
