Honestly, the author was a little hesitant while writing this volume. He wanted to make the Six-Wizard Tournament more grandiose and the events more interesting, but he was also afraid of dragging things out too long and losing control of the story.
And then there was Fudge. The author agonized over him too much, focusing too deliberately on procedural justice and recreating the state of the British Ministry of Magic from the original books, so he spent too many words describing him.
Fortunately, the author pulled back in time this time and didn't let this thing become a sore spot like Lockhart in Volume Two. That's a little progress, at least.
Fortunately, this volume has finally been completed successfully.
The next volume should have quite a bit of original plot, after all, the author has mentioned that this HP fanfic is set on Earth. So, as for establishing the Demoness Sect... that definitely won't work if he wants to avoid getting censored.
That means the author will have to add more competitions, as well as plotlines involving the International Confederation of Wizards and the like, so the protagonist can make more appearances on the international stage and accumulate more Anchors.
The author estimates that this book may take another one or two volumes to finish. After all, without even realizing it, he's already written over a million words.
Thank you all for your support. The author will keep working hard.
By the way, monthly votes will count double from the 28th to the 30th of this month, and again from the 1st to the 7th of next month, so the author is asking for monthly votes now.
But there's one thing the author has to apologize for: he's started school again, and he's in his fourth year.
As a result,
