At last... I guess it ended properly. The word count ended up much higher than I expected, haha. Writing one Fourth Ninja World War really did drag on a little too long.
In fact, while I was writing, I discovered a lot of problems too.
A long time ago, I already realized there seemed to be some issues with the main plot, but by then it was already too late to change it.
Mm, the main plot of this book was the protagonist's process of becoming stronger. His personality had already determined everything. By the time I realized it, I had already written five or six hundred thousand words, so I kept writing without going against his established character.
As for the Fourth Ninja World War, how should I put it? In the process of writing it, I actually added in many plotlines that weren't originally there, which made it seem even more drawn out.
For example, in my original plan, after Six Paths Nagato, it would go straight to Six Paths Madara. There was no Six Paths Obito.
But when I finished writing Six Paths Nagato, I felt that if I wrote Six Paths Madara right away, Obito would seem a bit too much like a clown. In the end, with the thought of giving Obito Uchiha a little care, I added the Six Paths Obito segment, haha...
That's about it.
There were actually still some things I didn't write, such as Jiraiya, who had recovered on the other side, going to find Orochimaru, and so on...
Mm, overall, that's about everything. There should be an extra chapter in a couple of days.
Thank you very much to all the readers who followed along the whole way.
See you in the next book.
