Chapter 433

Amidst the girls' teasing, Fushimi Makoto's hair and clothes were messed up, and he was assigned to a cameo role as a homeless man who might not even appear in the main story.

As long as they're happy, that's all that matters. There will be many more laughs like this in the future.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the two girls with long, straight black hair, Fushimi Makoto felt a surge of anticipation.

Hello everyone, this is a writing novice who dreams of updating 10,000 words a day but often fails...

The initial motivation for writing this book was, as stated in the book launch announcement, because the author's Arknights game really appealed to my tastes, which sparked my interest, and I got itchy to write a book with various play scenarios. So this book mainly focuses on promoting girls, and once I've done that, it'll be over.

This book's first-hour subscription score was just over 600, which is quite poor, the kind of book I'd be embarrassed to mention in the author group... But what surprised me was that despite the poor performance, my mindset didn't change much.

Thinking about it carefully, it must be because I used to be a full-time writer, and everything was for the sake of results. If my results weren't good, my mentality would be affected.

That's why, feeling I was too incompetent, I went to work.

Now it's different. Since its release, the game's performance has affected it... oh wait, it has still affected it. My game time after work has been reduced every day. In the past two months, I've tried updating to 10,000 words several times, and I've succeeded. As a result, I haven't opened <Metaphor: ReFantazio> for a long time, even though I used to play it continuously...

When this book reached 500,000 words, it had over 200 subscribers; at 800,000 words, it had over 100; and by the time it was finished, it still had over 190 subscribers. Its main focus was on a stable, consistent approach...

Despite my poor grades, my life hasn't changed at all. I still update at least two chapters a day, with occasional extra chapters. If I take a day off, I'll make up for it later, which is why many chapters have the phrase "(make-up update)"—meaning that when I took a day off, I was either slacking off or extremely busy at work, and I had to make up for it later.

Sometimes I think back to when I used to update 20,000 words a day, and I wonder: Was I really that crazy back then?

Thinking about it now, I realize how capable I was back then. Now I'm just being controlled by life and work, a useless corporate slave.

Finally, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to all the readers for your continued support. Although I haven't become a writing expert by the end, even a novice is still a writer (with a straight face)...

As for the new book, it will definitely be at the end of the month. My best friend is getting married in late September, and these days we've been discussing what preparations to make in the group chat. Everyone is eager and excited, as if it were our own wedding.

Because I got hooked on the <Sakamoto Days> manga last month and couldn't stop reading, my new book is a crossover of this work. It will probably include Hachiman, the band, Mai-senpai, and Megumi Kato, whom I had forgotten about from this book (her presence is amazing, she's even crossed dimensions).

And then, thank you all for your company, bowing deeply~
