1.1 Seriously, do you guys only read the story and never look at the chapter titles? I labeled two chapters as chapter forty, and not a single person said anything?

Someone also wasn't sure whether the protagonist would eventually resurrect his parents. As the author, I promise that as long as I can keep writing, he will.

Next, let me explain the arcs of Stone World here. I looked up the details online too.

The first arc is the lead-up to the decisive battle between Ishigami Village and the Tsukasa Empire.

The second arc is the decisive battle between Ishigami Village and the Tsukasa Empire.

The third is the Treasure Island arc.

The fourth is the America arc.

The fifth is the South America arc.

The sixth is the world arc, because after South America, they start traveling around the world to collect materials, including trips to India and Australia.

The seventh, as I see it, is when they start bringing back electrical equipment. They have computers, televisions, and surveillance cameras.

I'm not sure whether the eighth is separate or part of the same arc. After all, this is when they launch unmanned rockets, followed by artificial satellites.

The final arc seems to be the space arc, where they go to the moon.

So far, the adaptation has finished the Treasure Island arc. The latest arc, America, will probably take up a season too, followed by South America. I haven't seen the specific details.

Everything above came from online searches, and the arc divisions are my own interpretation. Corrections are welcome, and I'll make changes. The full timeline spans sixteen years, from Senku's revival to the completion of the moon rocket.

1.2 Next, I discovered that some comment threads can reach fifty replies. I wasn't expecting that. As for which is better, traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, I think each has its strengths. Western medicine is quicker to learn, while traditional Chinese medicine takes a long time. There's also a claim online that traditional Chinese medicine treats the root cause while Western medicine treats the symptoms. I don't know about that.

If you see comments pointing out things like "uncle" or saying "this should be Tsukasa," chances are they were typos I've since fixed.

As for pairings between the female and male leads, how about we just have pairings and let everyone ship them? After all, aren't Tsukasa and Senku pretty good together in the original story? I don't know if anyone here ships them.

Then there's the characterization issue. You can think of it as Chen Yu's involvement setting off the butterfly effect.

As for the influences behind Xiao Xi, Miwa, and Reiko, you can look up Natasha, Guinaifen, and Pela from Honkai: Star Rail. Mainly, I was playing Honkai: Star Rail when I started this book, so those influences naturally slipped into these characters' designs. You poor girls. I'm sorry.

For the scene where Reiko gets hit, imagine that scene from Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions where the height-measuring thing keeps getting pulled up and down, along with its sound effects.

People have also been asking about my bones and stuff, so let me explain. One issue involves an acquired lung and heart condition, and another is that I was hit by a car a couple of months ago. While I was resting, Stone World got an update, so I went looking for fanfiction. I'd only just started one when the damn author stopped updating, and they even said my writing was good. Wouldn't I know whether my own writing was any good?

Then I couldn't stand it anymore and started a book myself.

As for earnings, they're going up. At least, they're currently going up. I'll explain what happens afterward in the final section at the end.

As for Chen Yu's learning ability, you can understand it this way: didn't he ask for the strongest brain when he made his wishes earlier? One specifically meant for learning? Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared make the protagonist this capable.

Someone also asked me to give the protagonist Qimen Dunjia. Even if it was just for show, I had tried it before, but later scrapped it. Those who read it should know: summoning water from a distance, fetching a sword from a distance. It's all embarrassing history, so let's not bring it up.

All right, all right, none of you like showing the author his typos, huh? Could those of you who find typos tag Xinghe Aha? Otherwise, I have to go through them one by one.

And you, Super Magister, did you copy that New Year's greeting a few times? I only took a casual look and already saw "may all your wishes come true" twice.

Also, I never expected the characterization I casually gave Xiao Xi to line up perfectly with a condition that even reversing petrification couldn't help.

By the way, I couldn't sleep on the night of the seventeenth into the early hours of the eighteenth, so I scrolled through the comments. Some people still want the protagonist to have a harem?

Then I saw the comments on the latest chapter. I'm truly blessed to have you lot. You want me to stay alive just so I can write the book? You really are something.

Unfortunately, I write on my phone, not a computer, so I can't upload pictures.

Next, the character profiles for the three assistants.

Shiraishi Koki: a mature, older-sister type, with a mature figure, okay? Suited to work such as internal administration or secretarial duties.

Suzuki Reiko: lively, cute, and cheerful. For her intelligence, use Aqua from an anime I haven't watched as a reference.

Kitano Miwa: quiet, cold, and girlish, the daughter of an assassin. In terms of strength, she's currently like Ruri with a little martial arts training, and she's still growing.

From now on, the long block of text after each numbered section will be a summary of what I've discovered that time.

I've got a cold and insomnia. What a pain.

Then there's the ending, where aliens released the Petrification Beam to help humans live longer. In that case, how about... the rise of martial arts?

One last thing: I got a needle stuck in me the afternoon before yesterday, on the seventeenth. It really hurt.

1.3 A quick interruption: I pulled in Honkai: Star Rail yesterday and got Welt in thirty pulls, Kafka in twenty, and Himeko in ten. Did I pay with my lifespan? Anyway, I'm currently healthy. I honestly thought I wouldn't wake up today.

Seriously, what does traditional Chinese medicine have to do with rockets? With all the knowledge needed for rockets, he's supposed to stockpile knowledge of tens of thousands of Chinese medicinal ingredients too? Does he have that much time to waste?

I casually write something, and you have to argue with me about this? Someone who builds rockets wouldn't be able to figure out the properties of Chinese medicinal ingredients? What kind of argument is that?

Why don't you go look at why Senku started studying science in the first place?

As a child, he got interested because the moon seemed to follow him wherever he went, so he started studying science. He wasn't interested in medicine.

I was going to post this tonight, but reading this stuff now has seriously pissed me off.
