If audio player doesn't work, press Reset or reload the page.

Hello friends.

Over the course of 745 chapters, I’ve ended up with a whopping 250 characters—yes, 250! That’s a lot for one book. 😵‍💫 And to make things even more fun, I’m juggling multiple novels at the same time. To keep track of it all (and stay sane), I’ve put together a glossary that includes the main characters and those who appear frequently. Hopefully, it helps you as much as it helps me.

If you have any suggestions, corrections, or if you spot anything off—please don’t hesitate to leave a comment. I’ll do my best to update things and reduce confusion!
