Postscript to Volume 3
(。 ・∀・)ノ゙Hi! What a grind!
This is a part-time home who has been rushing to vomit recently-Shu Mengshi.
The third volume of "The Enemy of the Buddha" also ended successfully.
As I expected, it was a small volume about the same length as Volume 2.
Volume 3 isn't long, and I update it quickly, with 8000+ words every day, so I just started writing the postscript to Volume 3 again after I wrote the postscript to Volume 2 (laughs)
If I had to say what my evaluation of Volume 3 was, it would be 2 points.
Point 1: The rhythm is extremely tight.
Volume 3 is nearly 100,000 words long, and there is no extra chapter, and each chapter is telling you a story seriously.
Point 2: There are many foreshadowings and foreshadowings.
The amount of foreshadowing and pits dug in this volume is beyond the reach of the author (laughs).
Although Volume 3 is very short, it is a very important volume, and it plays a very important role in connecting the previous and the next.
I divide my book into "before volume 2" and "after volume 2".
The first two volumes tell the story of the prologue, and from the third volume onwards, it breaks into the main line of the book, telling the story of Ogata after he became the "executioner Ichitosai".
By the way – I think Volume 3 is full of a [beauty of fate].
If Ogata hadn't had his money bag stolen, he wouldn't have run into Mamiya, and maybe not Hasegawa, and in the end, there wouldn't have been anything to do in the future.
All of this was due to the fact that Ogata's purse was stolen at that time.
Personally, I love this butterfly effect and the beauty of this fate.
Volume 3 has been successfully completed, and the serialization of Volume 4, "The Undead", will begin soon.
Volume 4 should be the first large volume of the book since it was serialized.
The plot capacity is so large that I can't even guess what the total number of words is.
According to my conservative estimates, the total number of chapters in Volume 4 is at least 100 chapters.
Let me reiterate here again - this book will not follow the fantasy and supernatural style.
Until the end of the day, Ogata and the others will not cut down the nine-tailed demon fox, Yaki snake, ghosts and other strange things.
Until the end, there will be no very fantasy tricks such as "Ba Zhi Lei", "Thunder and Lightning Return", and "Turtle School Qigong Wave".
The worldview of this book is a low-martial worldview, and there will be no enemies of this kind of fantasy spirit, and there will be no such bells and whistles.
What exactly is Kii's "Undead", so please take your time and watch the fourth volume of the Undead that is about to start serialization.
By the way, let's tell you about the book friend group.
The book friend group will be built, please rest assured.
But I didn't want to build a book club so quickly.
It will probably be a while before I build a book club.
So please forgive me if you want to join the group.
That's right - I've already made the character card for Kuro Mamiya. Book lovers here at the starting point can open the main interface of the book and give this important new character a thumbs up.
Finally, I want to ask you for a wave of monthly passes!
When you read this postscript, it should have been December 1st.
Please vote for me with all the monthly passes you have! Please!
I very much want this book to be in the top 10 of the light area monthly ticket list, and I want more people to see this book and make this work even better.
Because as long as my work becomes popular, maybe it will attract more excellent writers to try "samurai".
Personally, I like "samurai" a lot, and it was because I liked "samurai" that I was the first samurai to write about the Edo period since the founding of the station.
I am very happy to see that after a pioneer like me has opened up a new path, more high-quality writers can follow up and work with me to open up a new fire theme and a new fire genre in the starting point.
I'll be able to have more beautiful samurai to see (laughs).
I can't think of anything else I want to say to you. So that's the end of the afterword.
Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the editor-in-charge who helped me and to all the book friends who have supported this book!
Thank you!
