Dear author, I enjoyed the concept of the chapter, but I think your execution was off. The flow felt staggered. I read it twice to understand what happened. I believe with some context this could be an excellent chapter, but as it is, it is okay.
An example would be, "after the auction concluded, Li replayed in his mind what he had heard, and he subconsciously added some dialogue between the two bidders..." Or something similar.
Three typos that I can recall.
Ok. I just re-read. Now I saw your note about changing your style. I still think my above comment has merit.
Good luck in finals!
Loved the convo between the elemental blade sect! So basically the other sect bought the crystal collection for 2k coin to get 2 or so crystals for research. I think!?
