Final Thoughts

Xu Meng's journey continued.

But our journey had come to an end.

From August 22, 2024, to October 13, 2025.

After one year and two months, this journey had finally reached its conclusion.

Thank you all for coming along, and it was an honor to walk this road with everyone.

If the story brought you some happiness along the way, that made me even happier.

Because that was exactly why I wrote.

I had no grand literary vision or creative ambition. I simply hoped to bring everyone a little uncomplicated joy.

From entering this industry and writing my first book, to finishing my second one now, that thought had never changed.

And I looked forward to continuing to do this.

The only problem was that I had underestimated how difficult it was to keep writing consistently.

Starting a second book hadn't made me any more skilled.

I was still chained to my computer every day, even turning my schedule upside down, losing hair like crazy, and missing an entire cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter just to maintain steady updates.

The rashes on my back from stress and anxiety still hadn't completely healed.

So after finishing this book, I needed to take a break and recover.

I needed to fix my schedule, take care of my health, go out for a while, and interact with society and strangers again.

And recharge myself a little.

I planned to rest for two months, then start preparing the new book.

Just like last time, I'd piled up a whole bunch of new ideas!

This time, starting a new book would definitely go more smoothly than last time.

I looked forward to meeting you again in a new story!
