Volume One End-of-Volume Thoughts

It is currently February 1, 2025, 3:13 AM.

Phew, the first volume spanning 300,000 characters, which is also the prologue of this book, has finally ended.

As usual, here is the TL; DR version—

1. Taking a day off (but there might be a free extra chapter update!).

2. There are many unsatisfactory places in the first volume, sorry meow.

3. February will have explosive updates! The second volume will be written better!

4. Asking for monthly tickets at the start of the month!

TL; DR ends—

Since the TL; DR is over, let me ramble a bit.

First is the day off; this day off of mine isn't requested randomly.

After the prologue ends, all kinds of data, skills, and the subsequent systems pile up like mountains, needing careful organization.

Also, there's still no final decision on how to write the beginning of the second volume.

As the saying goes, a good beginning is half the battle; although the ending of the second volume was decided early on, how to open this beginning still needs careful consideration.

Although I also want to immediately activate the daily-10k explosive update mode, unfortunately, considering the beginning, organizing the outline, and supplementing details all take time.

— Blindly starting the second volume is certainly feasible, but doing so might cause much subsequent content to lose its original quality, just like the last few chapters before the end of the first volume.

Thus, I can only bite the bullet and take this day off.

Although I'm fairly satisfied with the last two chapters personally, the few chapters before that were so blocked up I doubted my life.

The pain of sitting dry for eight, even ten hours and only grinding out a measly 4k words is really too painful; I really don't want to experience it again (but I definitely will experience it again, this is something that fundamentally needs no further thought).

Moreover, the plot and quality also didn't meet expectations.

Although — it might be the problem of the outline being somewhat weak at the end; the first volume's 300k words corresponded to 44,417 words of outline, and at the end, because of so-called "ideas," the outline became blurred instead, this is a bad thing.

Won't make this mistake again, and there won't be a next time.

Solemn apology meow.

If I could give a score, I'd give the first volume a 4/10, unsatisfactory and failing, too many problems to enumerate.

But I've summarized them one by one, so the second volume won't have the same problems.

In short, I hope the second volume can reach 6/10; I await it so — smashing towards the future me.

Actually, I'm still quite envious of those authors who can write detailed and long end-of-volume thoughts, because that way even without reading the main text, one can glimpse the general flavor of this volume through the end-of-volume thoughts, and incidentally touch the author's general state.

Being able to glimpse others' lives and mental states through some irrelevant words is actually a very wonderful thing.

But someone like me can't write very long; I can't even pad out an end-of-volume thought clearly.

Up to here, 771 characters, already counts as the limit.

Finally, wishing brothers a happy new year, in the new year may the whole family be healthy, safe, prosperous, and never die.

Also hope brothers can throw more monthly tickets, get more 【Automatic Subscription】 — with this there's no need to fear stockpiling chapters!

This book's current performance is 1191 average, which counts as pretty good for me personally, so dropping it is impossible, explosive updates will also happen, let's see if we can hit my own limits in February before school starts.

Please rest assured and subscribe!

Said so much, then let's also have some classic next-volume preview—

【Extra: Overlord】 (Free!)

— A solitary journey from beginning to end.

— My will is Providence, killing makes one become stronger.

This is another completely different world line, the beginning of the legendary overlord who alone shattered ten thousand armies and overwhelmed everything.

……

……

Nanjo Sister became the Onmyo Daizoku of Arakawa Ward, the family's cheap swordsmanship teacher seems to have become a boastful kensei, and even gained noble dual Epic Transforms, no longer needing to hide it in school, can directly tell everyone and receive envious gazes; watching this, the little days are getting more and more promising.

But the exploration in Chang Shi seems to have had a tiny insignificant problem, no matter, watch me force through with one strike.

"Calling me Yuki-onna is fine."

"This way, they can all be at peace."

Huh, what is this about to do?

Endless samsara, endless despair, and a train to escape this place that cannot be seen.

All memories are false, all experiences are real.

"Save me, please, please save me……"

"This kind of salvation, I do not recognize."

— 【Second Volume: The Summer That Will Eventually Arrive】 grandly serialized!
