Finally, it’s the long-awaited seventh volume. This is also the end of part one, the Soul Reader Arc.
I haven’t made any decisions about part two, but if you’re patient, I might get a chance to announce it someday.
If there is a part two, I’d like to make it more of a school story or a comedy. It’s technically a school story at heart, but they barely went to school at all in part one.
Anyway, I’ve published a Big Sister Lives in a Fantasy World side story called “Big Sistering to Win in a VRMMO” on Shosetsuka ni Narou!, so feel free to read it if you like. It was a story I had meant to include in volume five.
Um, there are only two chapters out as of this book’s release, but I’ll probably write more soon...
I’m also publishing a story called “My Instakill Cheat Is Too Strong and These Fantasy World Guys Don’t Stand a Chance” on Shosetsuka ni Narou, so I hope you enjoy that.
This book makes my official tenth published work. It’s a good time to look back on what I’ve done... and the memories are mostly pretty stressful.
I have another job, so I don’t have a lot of time to write, and as my children get older, I have even less time.
If I could manage my schedule better, I’d probably be a little better off, but when I consider everything that happened, I think maybe I wasn’t cut out to be a writer. I started it for fun, but it’s been harder than I could have ever imagined.
I have a lot to think about, but for a while, I want to get proper sleep and be a good father to my children.
Ah, I guess this has gotten a little depressing.
Maybe I should write more about things that made me glad I became a writer! Someone made an Aiko figure for Wonfes, and I got a sample. That made me very happy. This is the kind of thing that makes me glad to be a writer.
Also, let’s see... I was able to buy more manga and games with the money.
I justified it with the fact that they were for reference and research, so I went a little crazy with the spending. Though I’m not sure if that was a good thing.
Now for the acknowledgments.
To my editor, I’m so sorry about everything being late all the time.
To An2A, who handled the illustrations, thank you for all the wonderful illustrations you provided.
And to all of my readers, thank you for coming with me all this way.
Well, that’s that.
Hope to see you around again someday.
