Afterword
HI EVERYONE, MY NAME IS KEI TAKANO. IF YOU happen to be someone who read one of my other series, well, that just makes me happier than I can describe. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this book. This is the published version of a novel that I posted on the websites Kakuyomu and Let’s Be Novelists.
A personal aside, but I learned about web novels through an isekai reincarnation story, so when I found out that my own isekai novel was going to be published, I was delighted. But it really didn’t feel real until I saw the book cover and the illustrations within.
Since I have the space, I’d like to talk a little about this book. I won’t be spoiling anything, so don’t worry about that.
I’ve always loved villain characters more than the protagonists. In my opinion, stories shine the brightest when not only the hero but the villains and rival characters are fun and interesting.
There are all sorts of appealing antagonists who end up defeated by the heroes throughout fiction, like villains who shared similar circumstances with the protagonists but ended up straying from the path and destroying themselves, or villains who possessed immense power but fell in the face of the heroes and their party unity. This book is the condensed form of all the times I imagined what I would do if I was the villain, or what I’d do to save them.
I’d be thrilled if you enjoyed your time with this light novel. If you read this and want to read a second volume or thought it was a fun time, please leave a review on your site of choice and tweet your impressions as well. It’d make me really happy. I’m always name searching, so I’ll probably leave a like (lol). It’s your voices as readers that directly feed into an author’s motivation and continued publication, so I’d love it if you shared your thoughts on social media!
Finally, I want to thank everyone involved with the publication of this book.
Thank you so much to kodamazon for the lovely illustrations. You made Weiss and the girls even cuter than they were in my own head. I would also like to thank my lead editors, Nishimura and Yamaguchi, as well as everyone who read this volume. It’s thanks to all of you that this book exists.
For now, until we meet again.
