Nice to meet you! You can call me SANMAGUROSHIHOTATE.
First off, I’d like to offer a huge thank-you to everyone who purchased this book.
At first, this story began with me toying around with the “broken engagement” genre that was so popular on Shousetsuka ni Narou. I originally planned on it being a one-off short story, but the positive reception from my readers led to the opportunity of serializing it on the 18+ Nocturne side of the site.
As the writer, I know I owe it all to you, my readers who supported an amateurish, lackluster author like me, for this work finally being published and shown to the world. I want to take this opportunity to once again thank you.
Now that I’ve expressed my gratitude to the readers, allow me to give a short introduction.
When I was getting started out, I just made Yaruo ASCII threads as a hobby, flexing my writing muscle. After I had finished a few and left some others incomplete, I decided to publicize my works.
One day, I learned that some of the most popular works on Shousetsuka ni Narou ended up in bookstores. And I began to wonder, could I do that? So I cranked up the sex appeal a bit, and the result is the novel you just read.
I was originally worried—yes, I liked the work, but would everyone else?
But then I realized: So what? I’m used to not getting any likes on my threads!
Hahahaha! And thus I made my debut on Narou, ready for whatever may come.
Just a year later, my novel is being published and put into bookstores. It’s honestly deeply moving.
So from now on, I’d like to keep on pumping out novels. And the motivation to do so will come from you all, my readers.
I hope my work can reach even more readers, so that I can hear your praises, your tough love, and your suggestions. Because I want more people
to say they’re interested in the story, I’ll keep on racking my brain to continue the tale.
Making an entire work by oneself tends to make one complacent, I’ve found. So I’d like to make my next work together with you all, taking your voices into consideration.
To everyone who’s still reading this afterword, I’ve published this work on Shousetsuka ni Narou: Nocturne Novels, where you can leave your thoughts without even logging in.
If you’re willing to join me, I’d love to make my next novel with you.
