This short post will display distinct portions and special features found throughout the chapters and volumes of The Ravages of Time.
The words in the banner of the Handicapped Warriors, the closest thing that Ravages has to an official slogan
The table of contents, with the command ring of the Handicapped Warriors
Flashback pages are bordered in black rather than white
Some panels occupy two full pages
The black texts that come after chapters in Ravages volumes (not every chapter has them though)
Some volumes feature a map of the central plain (too bad there are no local county or commandery level maps)
The volumes contain ads as well (some of them closely related to Ravages, others about Chen Mou's other projects)
Then there's the page containing relevant company information
After the last chapter of the volume, there's a preview teaser of what the next volume is about
Sometimes Chen Mou would leave an afterword, or a snippet of one of his interviews is provided
Some volumes feature a selected list of important characters for the volume or arc
Aside from the couplet that serves as the volume title, the back cover also includes a humorous one-panel comic that's basically Chen Mou's way of lightening things up
