What would you like to see out of Book 9?

There will certainly be the usual answers, e.g, a non-lady, defense mythic, confident in personality, freebie OC, more dudes present in the story in general, etc., etc. It's more than fine if you want that, I think that'd be super cool myself regardless of realistic possibility.

For me? My expectations for the character choices, designs, and story are kinda... Floating in equilibrium in the core of the Earth... That low, but one thing that feels realistic for me to cross my fingers about is the MUSIC.

NOTHING has topped Book 6 in music for me. NOTHING. Not like Book 7 and 8's music is "Bad" or anything, that's a different sentence entirely, but 6 flies past most other books by a mile in my mental ranking. Maybe Book 9 will come up to meet it...? Who knows?

Edit: I forgot. I also want to see them commission a brand new artist for this one. Nothing really against Kozaki, Shigeki, and Yoshiku, I just want to see some super cool art in a new, super cool style.
