These are my closing remarks for Volume Six!
I consider Volume Six a rather special volume, because in this volume, as Klein reached Sequence 3 and the True Creator disappeared, this story returned to its original purpose: showing what a Lovecraftian world looked like.
You readers probably all have some basic idea of what a Lovecraftian world is like. When the concept of the Cthulhu Mythos first emerged, its purpose was to show humanity the many horrors of the universe, to convey how insignificant and unworthy of mention humanity was within it. As human beings, it is actually very difficult to accept this narrative, but as a literary work, such a setting has a distinctive appeal.
Portraying Lovecraftian horror and its essence is also something I have always worked toward. For instance, I used Decay's ways of thinking and ecology, utterly different from humanity's, to convey the horror of alien races and alien gods. When the True Creator chose to sacrifice himself to persuade God Almighty, the Lovecraftian horror and the lack of any other choice also reached their peak in this story.
I imagine it would be hard to find protagonists who failed this utterly in any Lord of Mysteries fanfic.
Some friends complained to me that the biggest reason Klein had such a hard time later on was that the True Creator was gone too soon. If the True Creator were still around, Klein would not have had to struggle so much. I also hesitated over whether to keep this character around (there is no doubt that I, too, like this story's True Creator, as well as the Creators in the original), but in the end, I went through with it, because in a sense, the True Creator was the swaddling cloth around Klein and the others in
