Even so, if there's nothing missing from you, then the author is missing something. The stuff I mentioned still isn't resolved. We went straight from 'shadowy figure approaches' to 'we've gone about ten rounds already, and gotten plenty of exposition about the King of Easton, fight's almost over'.
From the end of 178 to the beginning of 179 feels like we missed one, possibly two chapters. They're visibly wounded, King's fully exposed, when before he was just a shadow, looks like our MC boyo's down to abusing his advantages as a tactic and he has to heal from injuries we didn't see happen. The author has to have missed something here. I'm not crazy, right? Everyone can see this?
