A beautiful author has arrived to grace you with her presence!
If this is our first meeting, then it’s nice to meet you! I’m Mazi!
I’m a beautiful virtual twitterer who puts her face and voice on full display, so look me up!
@mazomanzi ← This is my Twitter account! Yay!
Much like in another book of mine released recently, I’ve got barely any time to write the afterword, so I’m just going to write a bunch of stuff really fast with a ton of exclamation points to pad out the character count!!!!!! In fact, it’ll be mostly copy and paste!!!!!!! Ooooh my!
How did you like Blade Skill Online?!!!
It’s a story about a protagonist who hates losing doing what he can using a combination of all the weakest possible trash!!!! Henderson!!!
Okay, this afterword’s about to get pretty rough because I’ve a backlog of work to do for two other series, including The Bottom-Tier Baron’s Accidental Rise to the Top, which, like this series, is published by Overlap!
Speaking of which, a manga adaptation and an overseas release for Bottom-Tier Baron both got announced recently! Yay! Maybe it’ll happen for BSO too, depending on the sales figures!!!!
To everyone who read the web novel then bought the light novel as well, thank you so much!!!!!! To everyone who hadn’t heard of the series but got drawn in by the title or cover, fate has brought us together!!! I’m a J-cup catgirl maid virtual babe on Twitter, so post a picture of your purchased book there and I’ll say “弟くんっ♡”!!!!!! [TL Note: This reads “otouto-kun” and is an affectionate way to address a younger brother.] Please, please, please, please tell friends, family members, acquaintances, local elementary schoolers, and total strangers on internet forum threads that they should check out BSO because it grants access to a beautiful maid girl with big boobies!!!!!! I appreciate your help!!!! Tweet about it and I will react!!!
And another thing! I’d like to use this space to thank everyone who gave me illustrations over Twitter or bought me some food from my Am*zon wish list to keep me going (my list of food I want to try before I die)!!!!!!
[TL Note: The original afterword lists over 150 usernames and pseudonyms of private individuals. As these are heavily stylized and do not have official English spellings, we have chosen to preserve these names as is in the following paragraph rather than approximate.]
