Closing thoughts
Where should I begin? How should I describe it? As I typed these four words, "Author's Closing Remarks, "Muzi's heart was filled with complex emotions—a mixture of indescribable excitement and reluctance.
From November 2022 to July 2024, more than 20 months have passed. Watching the story I wrote slowly come to an end is like watching my own child grow up little by little. Muzi has so much to say, but now that the time has come, she doesn't know what to say.
Muzi wrote the book "The Fate Titan" entirely because of a beautiful misunderstanding. At that time, Muzi was just complaining about the university professors who kept the class going late. After finally getting through class, Muzi rushed to the cafeteria, bought food, and excitedly opened his phone to find videos to watch while eating.
By chance, Muzi stumbled upon a classic scene. "Reiner, sit down!" The moment he saw this, a bold idea began to pop into Muzi's mind: Why can't I write a novel?
As a fan of Titan, Muzi had watched the first four seasons of the anime long ago, but she only knew about the ending through the manga. She only knew about Eren's tragic end and the destruction of Paradis Island. Like most fans, Muzi found the ending quite difficult to accept, which is why the idea of writing a fan fiction suddenly popped into her head that day.
When the idea of writing a novel came to her, Muzi wrote seven or eight chapters in one go, fueled by the novelty. Because it was her first time writing a novel, Muzi was very nervous. If there are any of Muzi's long-time fans, they should know that the platform where Muzi first published her novel was not Tomato, but a certain platform.
It was also at this point that Muzi met his first batch of fellow readers and authors. As everyone knows, Attack on Titan isn't particularly popular, especially among fan fiction. Coupled with the nature of the subject matter, Muzi Qidian, without any fame or income, purely doing it out of love.
However, Muzi Zi did gain something from this Muzi. He met many other authors who were also writing fan fiction about Titan. They discussed their love for Titan and their own thoughts and expectations. Those were the happiest times for Muzi because he had many like-minded friends.
But the road to success is always full of obstacles. Although everyone has high expectations, the reality of having no fame and income has made it increasingly difficult for Attack on Titan authors to persevere. Some have to give up due to the pressure of life, while others have turned to other fan works because they can't see any hope. One by one, the Attack on Titan authors who have been with Muzi have slowly withdrawn, until today, only Muzi is still walking on the road of Attack on Titan works.
After writing over 100,000 words of fanfiction on a certain platform out of love, Muzi, through the introduction of a friend (also Titan author, but now a very excellent Overlord fanfiction author), decided to give it a try and published Fate Titan Muzi Tomato.
Actually, Muzi was quite nervous at first, because she didn't know if everyone would like her story or the protagonist she created. But luckily, Muzi received a lot of recognition. When Muzi received her first five-star review on Tomato's platform, Muzi was excited for a long time. Muzi a top author.
As time passed, the Fate Titan received a rating, which Muzi clearly remembered as 6.9. Although it wasn't high, Muzi was still very happy because many people were encouraging and supporting Muzi.
With increasing recognition from many readers, Fate Titan's rating has risen higher and higher, eventually breaking through 9.0 and even reaching 9.4 today. Muzi very grateful for everyone's support and love. Muzi also know that this is thanks to Titan's love for this excellent work.
Muzi was well aware that "The Fate Titan" was not a perfect work. Over the years, Muzi had received a lot of negative reviews and complaints. Some were dissatisfied with the female lead, some with the plot, and some with the writing style. Muzi had been angry about this and even had the idea of giving up at one point, but in the end, she persevered with the encouragement of many great writers.
As for the female lead, Mu Zi's choice of Annie as the female lead was not a spur -Muzi- moment decision. Compared to the little angel Historia, whom everyone prefers, Muzi was attracted to Annie from the very beginning. Admittedly, there was part of the reason that she was attracted to Annie's appearance, but what attracted Muzi more was Annie's pure emotions and tragic upbringing. So when Muzi wrote the first character of "Fate Titan", she decided that Annie would be the female lead.
And then there are the most crucial elements: the Artificial Titan and Ebson. These two points are the main turning points in the book "Fate Titan." In fact, when Muzi first started writing the book, he didn't have the idea of Artificial Titan. The Titan he created for the protagonist Yago, was just an exceptional Intelligent Titan. However, as Muzi continued writing, the idea of Artificial Titan suddenly began to appear in his mind and lingered there.
Why did the Great-Grandmother only create nine Intelligent Titan? Why do these Intelligent Titan only live for thirteen years? What exactly is the Hallucigenia? Thinking about these questions, Muzi's idea of Artificial Titan began to mature, eventually leading to the story we know today.
Over a million words isn't a lot for a novel, but for Muzi, it's a huge amount. This Muzi's first attempt at writing a novel. Before this, the longest story Muzi had ever written was probably an 800-word essay for a high school Chinese exam. So, even today, looking at the Fate Titan, Muzi still feels a sense of unreality. Did I really write this? Did I really write this much?
Even the longest story must come to an end. Muzi has always kept her initial promise to have a perfect ending that would make up for everyone's regrets about the Titan. Now, although the process has been very bumpy, Muzi has managed to fulfill this promise and write a ending that can be considered a happy one.
Of course, Muzi has also prepared two delightful little side stories (with hidden surprises) for everyone, which will be presented to you all over the next two days. Thank you all for your continued support and love. Without you, there would be no Muzi today. A thousand words can be summed up in one sentence. "Thank you!"
The story of the Fate Titan is coming to an end. I hope there really is a parallel world of Titan, in which a young man named Yago Norman led the Eldia People to a successful path of revival.
Finally, with blue and white wings intertwined and illuminated by the Wings of Freedom, let us together draw a perfect conclusion to our Fate Titan tale!
"Dedicate Your Hearts! (心臓を恒よ!)"
(Finally, Muzi's new work will be released soon. If possible, Muzi would like to invite everyone to join Muzi in the world of Demon Slayer.)
