development with Tiffania and everything (other characters, plot)...there's bound to be loose ends and forced situations (it's a pretty big bomb for so late on the LN) and I'll probably not be satisfied with the ending...I think I'll drop it...few things irritate me more in the medium than watching characters I've grown to care about not having a satisfying conclusion
