The main story and the side stories—two different tales, yet the exploits of the same protagonist, alike but with their own differences—had come to an end here.
It could not be called a perfect ending, but at least it had been completed as originally planned.
Mm—time to let out another huge sigh of relief.
I had to admit, this was another book dragged down by real-life matters. In the end, I simply could not properly balance family and writing. Updates were always delayed, and the release schedule never turned out as well as it should have.
I was quite frustrated too, but I did not want my wife to say, "Are we holding you back?" again.
Between family and writing, I ultimately still leaned more toward family. That was why writing had become increasingly difficult and unsatisfying, but that was due to my own limited abilities, unrelated to any other factor or person. I could only look for the reasons in myself.
So this time, I expected to take a fairly long break.
One of my two children was already in school, and the other would start next year. Once they grew up, they naturally would not need so much looking after. By then, I should be able to write properly, right?
I did not know how many people were still reading my books now. I only hoped that when I released a new book next time, it would satisfy both myself and everyone else.
I hoped that by then, everyone would see a brand-new me.
Thank you, friends, for your support all this time, and thank you for following along all the way to the end.
