The author's note at the end of the main text of "Shinigami the Unforgiven " marks the halfway point of this book.
To put it simply, here are the existing plot issues and future plot developments in this book.
I'm mainly talking about the most recent ones; I won't go into anything from further back.
Some people have complained that the plot went wrong after Sister Hana captured Kūkaku; that was the beginning of my heavily modified version.
Before that, it could be said that the framework was built in the blank areas of the original work; after that, it was all about change.
I foreshadowed this change, starting with the escaped prisoner from the Muken, Genjirō's Hollowfication, and stealing the corpse of Fullbringer.
But it's too long, with lots of everyday scenes interspersed in the middle, so I'm sure everyone has forgotten what happened at the beginning.
In my imagination, Aizen's actions triggered Kisuke Urahara's actions, Shiraishi's words made Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto suspect that there was a mole in the Gotei 13, and then Retsu Unohana decided to take drastic measures to relieve Captain-Commander Yamamoto's worries.
That was to kidnap Kūkaku to test the situation.
The protagonist's personality definitely includes suspicion of Aizen, and he has the power to overturn the table, so he does.
However, what I thought was different from what I wrote down and what I wanted to express.
Next is the plot of the Fullbringer. I spent time describing the World of the Living and having the protagonist go into hiding, all in order to bring out Kūgo Ginjō.
I must obtain this best candidate for Soul King before Ichigo's birth, before the world collapses, in order to provide a reasonable explanation for the Soul King's death before the world collapses.
The next volume will cover the original Shinigami arcs: the Soul Society Arc, the Hueco Mundo Arc, and the Thousand-Year Blood War. I will make changes to all of them.
The core will not change.
As for fan fiction, I still have to respect the original work. It's like putting new wine in old bottles, and trying my best to write articles that people can pay to subscribe to.
The book's daily subscriptions have remained stable, the average daily subscriptions have remained neither high nor low, and the number of new subscriptions has also remained stable. In short, all aspects are performing steadily.
Hopefully, things will stay this stable until the end.
Finally, I'll be taking leave tomorrow, which is the beginning of the month.
As an author, you need to do that at least once a month.
