@Vky after following this series for a few years now I can say without a doubt that like 30% of all the chapters released could've been condensed and still given the exact same amount of context. I think it's just a manhua thing in general tbh. Manhua artists/writers love to milk as many panels as possible, look at last chap for example, there were like 8 panels of people just standing and looking around/saying the same things repeatedly. The highs of this series have been extremely high but it's excessively drawn out in many arcs (probably to milk global chapter sales)
