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.

3.00So COI just ended, without side stories, at chapter 1179. The author has made an announcement that they will not do side-stories for a long while, and since nobody cares about this market, I'm just going to resolve it as 1179 because the effort needed to keep this up until the side-stories come out far outweighs people's interest in this market.
