Chapter Index

    Hello, I am a Nottoday writer.

    Finally… my little novel has been finished. It was a long journey that lasted four months.

    First of all, before I get into the story, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the readers who came to my small and limited novel.

    I really think I’m a person who doesn’t cry… but when I first started writing this, all the memories from up until now came to mind and I started crying a little.

    Readers who have given me so much undeserved love. I really want to bow my head in gratitude and tell you that I love you.

    Looking back, I remember what prompted me to start writing this article.

    My heart, which had been devastated and broken by the exam life, was so empty, and I had absolutely no motivation to live.

    Even though I was alive, I didn’t feel like I was alive, and although I smiled in front of my friends and family… there was really no meaning to living.

    I just mindlessly played games I was tired of, read novels, etc. It was just a meaningless life.

    Then, while I was reading novels at Nobelpia as usual, I noticed that a contest had been opened.

    The only thing that brought some vitality to my boring life was reading novels… so without even realizing it, I felt like I wanted to try it.

    That’s how it started, with a work called ‘Academy Crazy Cult’. And the results… were, of course, disastrous.

    Honestly, at that time, I think I was viewing writing as too easy. Other people spend months organizing the story and characters, but I was conceited by roughly creating the entire story and direction in just a few days.

    The story is boring and crappy, and it’s hard to understand what the characters look like and how they act… And that’s what was lacking the most.

    That was just my writing skills. Words and words that are so simple and repetitive that even a young child might find them boring. Unnecessarily long stories and meaningless content.

    When I think about it now, it was truly miserable. So it was only natural that the results were disastrous.

    But… I did my best. I spend hours a day thinking about writing, and I do a lot of research because I think readers will like it…

    But there comes a limit. My favorites didn’t increase, the number of views was miserable… and most importantly, it became no longer fun.

    When I first started writing, it was a lot of fun. It was amazing and interesting to write my own story, so I spent a long time immersed in writing without realizing it.

    But… my grades were miserable, and as I compared myself to others, writing, which I had started for fun, began to feel like work, and it became less fun.

    I became more and more afraid of writing, and I kept putting it off… I didn’t even have a proper world view to develop, and I didn’t even know the purpose.

    Then, one of several ideas that had been lingering in my head suddenly occurred to me.

    Since I always liked characters that are devastated, I thought to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to have a genre where people use their alter egos to work and the heroines are devastated without knowing that they are alter egos?’ That’s what I thought.

    This work began without the worldview or characters being properly decided. ‘That’s my alter ego?’ It was.

    In fact, one of my works had already failed, and my self-esteem was low, so I started with a feeling of desperation and despair.

    (The initial plan was not to have a strong impoverishment like there is now, but the main character would act as an alter ego as if he were really pranking, and only the heroines would be weakly impoverished, and then the main character would be found and the ending would be open!

    However, as I was writing, the overall atmosphere became too heavy and I didn’t want to end it lightly due to my greed, so I revised it overall and this is the current version!)

    The day I came up with this work, I immediately set the name of the main character, Venice, and thought of the first heroine.

    The heroine of the fantasy world is a prosecutor. Ponytail during inspection! What came to mind became the current Seris.

    I immediately used AI to draw an illustration on the spot, and it came out much better than I expected, so I used it as an illustration and it became the Seris illustration that you all know and have seen a lot of!

    Anyway, I started writing a novel. Of course, since I started this out of ignorance, I couldn’t imagine that there would be any good results, so I thought I would just use it for fun.

    But somehow, unlike my previous work, I let go of my thoughts and wrote according to the flow of my thoughts, and the number of views and favorites started to increase steadily!

    I was also surprised. No, the previous work I thought so much about failed miserably, so why is this doing so well? I do.

    It was the first time in my life that I felt that there was such a thing as ‘flow’. Unlike my previous work, which felt less powerful and less fun the more I wrote, I felt that the more I wrote, the more things I wanted to add or the things that came to mind.

    And in the end… this is the result.

    The photo above had 11011 views, so I captured it because I was so excited! Actually, when I started writing, I was thinking that it would be nice to have over 10,000 views by the time I passed episode 50.

    It seems like things have been really successful since then. My writing speed gradually increased, and I started having a lot of fun with it.

    In addition, I was very happy to see the number of views and preferences increasing, and the comments piling up. (No one knows that the author refreshed to check every 5 seconds when he was taking a break!)

    Actually… It was around this time that I started to feel like I was living. Unlike the fun and meaningless days of wasting time, I sometimes felt like I wanted to go home and write.

    It felt as if my cold heart had started beating again…

    I wait every day for the time to write, and when I can’t, I always think, ‘What kind of content would be fun to include?’ or ‘How can I describe it so that readers will view it more favorably?’ etc.

    My mind was filled with nothing but writing novels.

    And the photo above was captured not long after the Ariel episode started because it was so amazing that the number of favorites exceeded 1,000!

    Looking at it now… I can see that there is a ruler placed there. It’s a little embarrassing, but… at this time, each favorite and each alarm is so precious that I don’t even realize it…! (Both are turned off now!)

    The number of views exceeded 50,000, and in the case of 1,000 favorites, it was the number I thought it would be when the novel was completed, but it was reached very quickly.

    And… what I remember about this time is that it was the last semester of the semester and I had all day left, so I spent the whole day writing.

    Even now that I think about it, I think back then the standard was 2 to 3 series per day, but I don’t know how they did it…

    Anyway, I had a lot of fun with it, and I was given so much love that I put all my effort into writing it.

    braided! By the time Ariel’s episode reached its highlight, the number of favorites had surpassed 2000! The number of views exceeded 150,000!

    From around this time, I was actually very surprised. I was so touched that I, who thought I was good at nothing, was someone who could bring a little bit of fun to other people.

    And this was the day I was chosen by an algorithm that may never come again in my life!

    I still remember it. The author was so curious about readers’ reactions that he kept refreshing… Even though it was early in the morning, the number of favorites and views started to increase without end.

    What on earth? Is there a bug? So much so that I want to. From what I remember, the number of favorites increased by nearly 800 in just one day, and the number of views reached over 40,000.

    You can think of it as the Leeds days of this novel, which are still unbroken even now.

    Anyway, I was very touched that my novel was posted on the main screen of Novelpia, and it was a precious memory that made me want to do even better.

    And I ran hard and ran again… and eventually I made it to the finish.

    To be honest, I think the highlights of the heroines’ devastation were well written! If you say it’s nonsense, I can’t help it…

    Anyway, the highlight section that occurs at the end of the build-up really put a lot of effort into expressing that despairing emotion, and I am very satisfied with it.

    Do you know that feeling that makes your heart tingle and that makes you feel like you’re going to burst into tears at any moment… do you know? Anyway, I felt that way looking back on that scene, so I’m satisfied.

    And although it’s sudden, I actually wasn’t planning on using the adult episode (episode 144-149). When I first started writing, my wish was to write a novel that everyone could read, even if they weren’t adults.

    But… the readers wanted it so strongly, and in fact, as I became immersed in the characters while writing, I also became greedy.

    Still, I thought it would be good to include a sexual scene, which can be said to be the highlight of love, before the story ends.

    Although I was unsure and scared… I wrote it hard. Personally, I’m satisfied, but I don’t know what readers think.

    And… if I still have regrets, it’s that when the story about Seris’ part comes up, I didn’t follow my father’s will and become vice-captain. There was a really, really surprising amount of backlash in that regard.

    To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be criticized so much… The status window was dark, and because it was a game world, I couldn’t figure out the contradictions on the outside by following a predetermined path like ‘fate’. So, it was a scene I wrote without any thought.

    And the result was… I received so much criticism that it was mind-boggling. I am not criticizing the readers.

    I just… I felt so pathetic about myself. I also wondered if I wrote it too thoughtlessly, without even thinking about such trivial things.

    I wrote this to entertain my readers, but I felt very sorry for giving them an unpleasant and negative experience.

    There were so many comments. Comments pointing out possibilities, comments criticizing me, etc… When that problem came to the fore, unlike now, I was replying to every comment one by one, but I couldn’t reply to those comments because I couldn’t muster the courage.

    And… I also felt guilty for not leaving a reply to the feedback given by my precious readers. At that time… it seemed like a lot had collapsed.

    I started this to entertain readers, but I also wondered if I was qualified to write something that ended up like this.

    But… I had already given up on the work called ‘Academy Crazy Cult’, and I had acted by abandoning the readers who, although not many, were more than enough for my level.

    So I didn’t want to do something like that again. A lot more people loved and waited for my work than before.

    Even though it was hard, I persevered. The comments left by readers and the increasing number of views helped me forget about my fatigue.

    It was the same when I was doing the training. Although it was difficult, I think I tried my best to participate as much as possible because the readers liked it so much.

    And finally… I personally think that the plausibility and ending were really disappointing.

    In fact, I did an ego search to research the data, and I really had no idea, but there was a review of this article?

    It was worth watching in the beginning, but the probability part and the status window that suddenly popped up at the end were dark, and it ended so suddenly that it just wasn’t good. It was a review called.

    Regarding that… I have nothing to say except that I am sorry. It was an ending that was planned from the beginning, but I think it was too sudden and a strange development.

    Cerise’s father’s will, the unexpected ending, the disappointing writing, etc… Looking back, there are more than one or two parts that were disappointing.

    In the end… the result was so outstanding that it was difficult for Hako as a writer, but I was also very greedy, so I was very disappointed.

    It doesn’t matter if the evaluation is good or bad, or if it’s a malicious comment, I just hope you give me a lot of attention. Because I’m fine.

    As I write and get people’s attention, I have come to deeply understand the saying, ‘The only thing scarier than malicious comments is indifference.’

    Anyway… comments, reviews, and fan art if possible…! Always welcome! The author is looking for each and every one of them!

    Hmm… I felt like I got emotional while writing it. Anyway, this is the end of the story about my novel.

    Well… I feel once again how fast time flies. When I started writing this article in mid-December, I thought I would never finish it and write a review.

    I feel sad. When I think that the characters in my novel that I was so attached to are now over, I feel a little sad, even though I’m not really this type of person.

    But… there is a saying that came out of a game I enjoyed and became famous.

    ‘It’s over and it means starting again.’ I think that means that if there is a beginning, there is an end, and the end is a new beginning.

    I… am trying to dream of another beginning. Although I’m preparing a remake because I didn’t like the new work I briefly tried, I’m still thinking about other works besides that work!

    This novel is finished, but there are still so many stories I want to write. So… if you don’t mind, I’d like you to come along on that journey as well.

    I… couldn’t find anything special about me, and I was an extremely ordinary person who felt only skepticism about life.

    And through this experience, I received a lot of attention and love that I may not have received even when my life was over.

    The reason I was able to survive last year and this year, which were so difficult, is all thanks to you all. It was only your interest and love that gave warm hope to the hearts devastated by the many accidents.

    Just as in the work, Venice was saved by the heroines, and the heroines were saved by Venice.

    I also love and care from readers. And I feel like my life has been saved through writing a novel.

    I am so, so grateful to those who made me a meaningful person and stayed with me until the end of this very disappointing journey.

    I’ve said it ad nauseam… but I’ll say it again. Dear readers, I always love you and thank you.

    Please look forward to my future journey… too!
