Afterword to Volume 3

(????)??Hey! What a grind!

Here is a part-time novelist who has been so busy rushing out manuscripts recently that he almost vomited - Sou Mengmi.

Volume 3 "Buddha's Enemy" has also been successfully completed.

As I expected, it is a small volume about the same length as Volume 2.

Volume 3 is not long to begin with, and I update very quickly, with 8,000+ words updated every day, so I just started writing the postscript for Volume 3 not long ago (laughs)

If you want to say what my evaluation of Volume 3 is, it should be 2 points.

Point 1: The rhythm is extremely tight.

Volume 3 has nearly 100,000 words, and there is not a single extra chapter. Each chapter tells a story to everyone seriously.

Point 2: A lot of foreshadowing and foreshadowing were laid.

There are so many foreshadowings and holes dug in this volume that the author himself has lost count (laughs).

Although Volume 3 is very short, it is a very important volume and plays a very important role in connecting the previous and the following.

I divide my novel into "Before Volume 2" and "After Volume 2".

The first two volumes tell the story of the prologue. From the third volume, it breaks into the main line of the book and tells the story of Ogata after he became "The Executioner Ittosai".

By the way - I think Volume 3 is full of a [beauty of destiny].

If Ogata hadn't had his money bag stolen, he wouldn't have met Mamiya, and then maybe he wouldn't have met Hasegawa, and finally there wouldn't be any of the things that happened in the future.

All of this happened because Ogata's wallet happened to be stolen at that time.

I personally particularly like this butterfly effect and the beauty of fate.

Volume 3 has been successfully completed, and the serialization of Volume 4 - "The Immortal" is about to begin.

Volume 4 should be the first large volume of this book since it was serialized.

The plot capacity is so large that I can't even guess how many total words it has.

According to my conservative estimate, the total number of chapters in Volume 4 is at least 100.

Let me reiterate it again - this book will not be fantasy or supernatural.

Until the end, Ogata and the others will not kill the nine-tailed demon fox, Yamata-no-Orochi, ghosts and other things with strange powers and chaos.

Until the end, there will be no very fantasy tricks such as "Thunder of Tomoe", "Return of Thunder", "Turtle Style Qigong Wave".

The world view of this book is a low-martial world view. There will be no such fantasy and supernatural enemies, nor will there be these fancy moves.

What exactly is Kii's "Immortal"? Please take your time and watch the upcoming 4th volume of Immortal.

By the way, let me tell you about the book club.

A book club will be established, please rest assured.

But I don’t want to establish a book club so quickly.

It will probably take some time before I can establish a book club.

So please forgive me for book friends who want to join the group.

By the way - I have already made the character card for Kuro Mamiya. Book friends here at Qidian can open the main interface of this book and give this important new character a thumbs up.

Finally, I would like to ask everyone for a monthly ticket!

By the time you read this postscript, it should already be December 1st.

Please vote for me with all your monthly votes! Please!

I really want this book to be in the top 10 of the monthly light novel list. I want more people to read this book and make this work even better.

Because as long as my work becomes popular, it may attract more outstanding writers to try "samurai novels".

I personally like "samurai novels" very much. It is because I like "samurai novels" that I am very determined to write the first samurai novel set in the Edo period since the website was founded.

I am very happy to see that after I, the pioneer, have opened up a new path, more high-quality writers can follow suit and work with me to create a new popular theme and a new popular genre at the starting point.

Then I will have more good samurai novels to read (laughs).

I can't think of anything else to say to you. So this postscript will end here.

Finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the editor who helped me and to all the book friends who have supported this book!

thank you all!
