Subscriptions have plummeted lately, and honestly, it really is my own fault... It's gotten a bit boring and padded.
Being busy with work is one reason, but another is that writing has genuinely become harder and harder. Sometimes I can sit there for an hour without managing to write a single sentence.
As for the padding, the original outline was designed as an ensemble story. That meant you ended up seeing a lot of content unrelated to the protagonist, focused on supporting characters. That's also because I aimed too high; my writing ability is still far too lacking.
The main issue is that I stuck too rigidly to the outline. It was fine in the original world, where the outline was more detailed, but now that we've entered anime worlds, I've found myself not knowing what to write...
I'm taking a break today to think over the new book and the upcoming plot. I also plan to take the advice and make the story more compact.
The next world was originally going to be Gensokyo, where Yuki Onna would complete Tenma's sequence advancement, but I've decided to wrap this book up as soon as possible, so I'm going to skip it. Sorry.
After saying all that, I mainly wanted to give an explanation to the few dozen readers who are still following this story.
Thank you all so much, and I'm truly sorry.
Of course, I will definitely write this book's ending properly.
This book has been with me for over two years. It has given me so, so much experience, and it has also let me meet all of you. Thank you.
