Hello everyone!
Thank you for your patience. This update marks the official release of Chapter 3, Bending the Bow to Shoot the Eagle. It took longer than expected mainly because my little "monster" at home is on summer break — between school drop-offs and tutoring sessions, I haven't been able to find solid blocks of time for development. I'm really sorry! Looking back, ending the last update at the destroyed village was indeed a bit rushed.
The story of Bending the Bow to Shoot the Eagle takes place mainly in the northern grasslands and among the three Jurchen tribes. Of course, that's still a bit of a "pie in the sky" for now. But let's get down to business —

📌 A Few Thoughts on This Update
Lately, maybe because I've been adding too many things at once, I've been busy every day—but when I finally look at the update, it feels like only a little bit got done… I'm reflecting on that. I'll try to adjust my pace. My goal is to finish all brothel and pleasure house features before May 1st, then roll them out gradually. No abandoned content.
