I think the overall problem was I tried to squeeze too much in the last chapter. And the fact that I alluded to having a lot more sequels. I will let you guys know that this is a long-running story made to resemble anime in its style, so the resolution might take longer than what a lot of people like. As for squeezing the chapters in too tightly, I think I'll consider separating out part 2 into more chapters after I do some tinkering and republish my whole series. Thanks all for sharing your thoughts.
