Problems the review pass already fixed (5)

Ch. 4 · ¶ 26 (ch04p026)
Markdown asterisks around the sound effect are formatting debris. They are also inconsistent with the plain 'Whack!' used elsewhere.
Ch. 4 · ¶ 28 (ch04p028)
Markdown asterisks around the sound effect. The onomatopoeia 拍 should match the plain 'Whack!' used in ch03.
Ch. 7 · ¶ 24 (ch07p024)
有趣 means 'What fun / How interesting'. Ah Q is thrilled here. 'That's a laugh' reads as dismissive and reverses his attitude.
Ch. 6 · ¶ 9 (ch06p009)
十几岁 means 'in their teens', not 'of ten or so'.
Ch. 8 · ¶ 26 (ch08p026)
跟着逃 means Ah Q turned and fled along with the man, not that he chased him. 'Ran after him' reads as pursuit.
