Thank you, dear reader, for picking up this copy of In My Seventh Life, I Met a Monster Princess.
Greetings. My name is sammbon. Some of you may be familiar with my other online works on Shousetsuka ni Narou and Kakuyomu.
As it happens, I’ve been posting my stories online for a little over two years now. Most of them are romantic comedies, and my first attempt at writing a fantasy isekai completely bombed. Since then, I haven’t returned to the genre.
I really enjoy reading romance isekai light novels with male protagonists, and it’s a little disheartening just how few works like that there are out there. So I figured, In that case, I’ll just write one myself! And that’s the origin story of the novel in your hands right now. I’m beyond grateful to Fantasia Bunko for the opportunity to publish it. Thank you so much.
Anyway, I poured all my favorite elements into this title—an intensely sweet love story, a male protagonist, and a fantasy isekai setting—so I hope you’ll enjoy it over a nice cup of black coffee.
Phew. I managed to fill out the afterword. Now it’s time for me to express my thanks to everyone who helped bring this book to life.
To my editor S for your prompt responses, courteous remarks, and helpful advice—I greatly appreciate it. I would also like to thank my other editor S (yes, a different one) for reaching out to me about this work and for your continued support despite your busy schedule—I’m beyond grateful.
Thanks are due also to nama2e for the all the incredibly beautiful illustrations featured in this book. The first time I saw a finished picture of Melza, I literally shook with emotion. You’re the best—I mean it.
Next, to all those involved in the publication and release of this book, thank you.
I owe so much to everyone who has helped with and encouraged my creative endeavors over the years. Thank you.
And last but not least, I want to say thanks to you, the readers, for all your support.
I hope to see you again someday soon!
