Final Thoughts

From February 5, 2018, to today, April 5, 2019, it was officially complete—fourteen months.

I had originally thought I might keep writing for a while longer. For instance, Negary could have gone to the Great Monster Multiverse, and that could have made another volume. But when it came to Negary, the ideas born from Xu Ming had already been described more or less completely. While writing the chapter before the final chapter, Xu Ming felt that it was time to end it.

A great many things happened while I was writing this book, and Xu Ming became a mess because of some terrible things.

My readers all know that Xu Ming's mental state was very poor. I had been suffering from insomnia all along. Over this past year or so, part of it was due to the blows dealt by terrible events, while another part came from bad habits Xu Ming had developed himself.

During that time, Xu Ming did not dare let his mind go blank. The moment it did, those things would surface in my head. Every night when I slept, I either had videos playing or a livestream on. There always had to be someone talking by my ear, drawing my attention, before Xu Ming could lie peacefully in bed. Even now, it was still that way.

Perhaps Xu Ming was being overly sentimental and immature, or perhaps Xu Ming's circle was simply that small. Those few things could occupy most of Xu Ming's life.

That was why there was Negary. Xu Ming also wanted to become Negary.

And after I've finished selling you this sob story, Xu Ming also promises to work hard at adjusting my condition.

This month, Xu Ming will take care of my personal matters, then start a new book as soon as
