A Few Simple Words

First, regarding updates: since the novel was currently in its free period, there would be two chapters a day, one at 8:00 a.m. and one at 6:00 p.m.

Second, regarding the plot: although Kira's previous three books had also featured protagonists who headed small powers, they had been narrated from a daimyo's perspective. This time, Yamauchi Kazutoyo's perspective was that of an ordinary samurai, so the pacing in the early stages was somewhat slower.

Although a number of novels centered on Oda storylines had emerged many years ago, that era was simply too distant. Many novels that had been quite good at the time now seemed somewhat "outdated." Moreover, many of those novels had been written in a style closer to "game battle reports," and could not truly be considered historical fiction.

Kira also wanted to breathe fresh life into this stagnant pool. That was why he had decided to write an entirely new Japanese Warring States novel with Yamauchi Kazutoyo as its protagonist and Oda Nobunaga as its main thread.

Many of this book's character settings and historical background would adopt the latest theories from Japanese academia, while also incorporating some of Kira's own views. So although the subject matter was the oft-told Oda Nobunaga storyline, Kira was confident he could write an extraordinary plot. Please read with peace of mind.

During the new-book period, the novel urgently needed everyone's continued reading. Kira also hoped that everyone would not stockpile chapters and would follow along more often.

This book was first released on Taiwan Novel Network, offering error-free and properly ordered chapters for a smooth reading experience.

There was also a way to join the group on the book's introduction page. Everyone was welcome to join and discuss the plot.

Once this book was put behind a paywall, there would be a massive burst of updates to satisfy everyone. Old readers all knew that Kira had updated 1.4 million characters in three months for the previous Sanada clan novel, so the update volume was absolutely guaranteed.

Finally, thank you once again for everyone's support and encouragement. Kira would not let down your expectations.

Love you all!
