    Thank you! For the rant! (y) Dont mind to read it and more is welcome:p

    About GeumRyong, yeah I think I saw him not that 'bad or cannot be taught', for how he still tries to look after his juniors (and esp Song Baek during the fight when the elder wanted to force him to cheat). It's good he can see the better picture.

    So now JongNam is with HwaSan :LOL:
    I still remember how CM was sooo anti JongNam :ROFLMAO:

    happy birthday to me! :blob_butterfly::blobtaco::meowflower:
    Hmmm well I guess you can say that! His dantian does have a crack but I don’t know about the going to war thing… I think if he does go to war he won’t die but probably face a lot of serious injuries but who knows? No one can find a solution right now for that not even Chung myung:blob_teary:

    mistranslation. should be something like "are you telling me to spar with soso?"
    got beaten by jang ilso, both physically and mentally :blobsweat_2:

    yes it's cracked and there's no cure for it at least for now?
    as for the part about him dying.. well right now he's having hard time even swinging his sword because of his broken dantian, so if he goes to war in that condition it is unlikely that he will survive

    Hey guys I've been lurking for many months here.
    I was frustrated seeing spoilers without any labels indicating chapter numbers.
    So I decided to make an account to post chapter summaries. Might as well make use of my GPT-4 Plus subscription.
    It'll just be summaries since ChatGPT has a word limit on it's responses for now. Only workaround I could find.
    No dialogue.
    I only use GPT-4 since translation quality is higher and GPT-3.5 can't browse the web.
    DM me to know where I get my raw chapters from.

    I'll be starting off from chapter 1546.
    Let me know which chapter's spoilers you want me post.

    Novel Name in Korean: 화산귀환

    Here are my prompt methods.
    First method will browse the web.
    ----------------------------
    Prompt Method 1:
    [raw chapter chapter link]

    "translate to English in bullet points"
    ====================
    Second method generates responses faster since it only translates and doesn't have to browse the web.
    But it's more tedious since you have to copy and highlight the entire text and then paste into GPT-4.
    ----------------------------
    Prompt Method 2:
    [raw chapter text]

    "translate to English in bullet points"
