To avoid confusion, I am referring specifically to Circle of Inevitability by author Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, the sequel to Lord of the Mysteries and the second book in the (planned) trilogy.

Currently (12/29/2024), COI has 1166 chapters (if I am interpreting the Chinese text on Qidian correctly).

Note: I will also consider COI side-stories to be part of COI (i.e. if COI has a side story just like how LOTM has the In Modern Day side story, those chapters will count towards the resolution of this market)

• Update 2024-29-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Resolution Criteria Updates:

  • The market is set to close on the end of 2026 (arbitrarily far away), but will actually just close whenever COI ends.

  • The closing date will be extended if the novel continues beyond 2026.

• Update 2025-16-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Resolution: The market is resolved at 1179 chapters as COI has ended without side stories.

  • Side Stories: The author has announced that side stories will not be created for a long while.

  • Market Closure: The market is being resolved now because maintaining it until side stories are released outweighs the interest.
