Afterword
THANK you for reading The Reincarnated Villainess Won’t Seek Revenge Volume 2. I’m Akako, and I began writing this story in late winter, one year before its publication in Japan. Honestly, I still can’t believe that my web novel has been traditionally published, or that so many people have read it. I often find myself thinking, “Wow, the impossible really can happen.” It’s a strange feeling.
I’ve enjoyed reading and writing stories since I was young. As a student, I would ask my friends to read my novels. After becoming an adult, I had the amazing opportunity to post my stories online for people to read. When I reflect on the past, I realize that I made it this far because I never gave up on doing what I loved.
This second volume concludes Reincarnated Villainess, but the manga is still ongoing. It’s a lovely adaptation, so please read it! I’m thrilled to still have some connection with the characters.
Incidentally, people have told me that they’re Team Rizel or Team Reynaldo. (Laughs) Thank you so much! Mary might have ended up with Albert in this volume, but fear not! There are alternate retellings of the story starring Rizel and Reynaldo on Shōsetsuka ni Narō. If that interests you, please check out my profile on the website. It would make me very happy.
I’ve received help from so many people leading up to the publication. I’m especially grateful to my editor, Oda-san, as well as my friends, who helped me plot and think up illustrations.
The comments and messages from everyone who read these novels were so encouraging. From here on out, I want to write as many stories that I find interesting as possible. I sincerely hope to provide readers with more stories you find interesting as well.
As I said, the manga is still ongoing, so please check that out, too! I’m always incredibly excited to read a new chapter!
I hope you had a great time reading this book. And if you made it to the end, thank you so much.
