Chapter 199: 200th Episode Commemorative Q&A
We have safely reached the 200th episode.
Below are the answers to the questions you've sent in.
I have combined overlapping questions at my discretion.
Some might have been missed during the compilation process, so if you posted a question and it wasn't answered, please leave a comment.
I will reply via sub-comments.
=============== Q&A =================
Q1) What color are your panties today? (Questioner: Despicable Tin Can)
Black.
Q2) When do you plan to do a 200-chapter marathon to celebrate the 200th episode? (Questioner: Heeeut)
I'll do it in the year 2042.
Q3) Why is there no next chapter? (Questioner: Pingpingpingping)
No comment.
Q4) How many chapters do you expect the finale to be? (Questioner: Shinji27, Yandere Expert, Keian, Hwang Seong-hyeon_800, Yesvelpia)
I'm thinking at least 300 chapters.
Q5) Where do the souls of the original inhabitants of the worlds In-ho possesses go? (Questioner: Hyeonryong)
It depends on the afterlife system of each world.
In the case of the dimension managed by Nibiru, they are sent to Heaven or Hell according to the criteria she established.
Souls sent to Hell spend time according to their given punishment and are then reincarnated.
Q6) Will an AI Heroine appear? (Questioner: Jipuragi)
Yes.
Q7) Are there others like In-ho who drift through possessions? Is there anyone who moves from dimension to dimension by their own power? (Questioner: Safe Cracker)
There are no other people drifting through possessions like In-ho.
Furthermore, there are no humans who move between dimensions by their own power.
Q8) Does Maria fuck In-ho like crazy? (Questioner: Dar12)
She won't... fuck him that hard.
Q9) When are you going to release the stockpiled chapters in the top right of your desktop? Thank you. (Questioner: PIA1658240718612)
I save mine in the top left, so I don't think I can release them.
Q10) Do you have any plans to switch to the Plus service? (Questioner: White Wolf)
I believe that if I receive money, I must provide equivalent value.
If I switch to Plus, I would need to maintain a professional mindset, but I want to continue writing The Nature of Possession as a hobby.
Q11) How would you quantify or describe the impression or affection the heroines have for the protagonist? (Questioner: Shinji27)
Since each shows the maximum level of affection based on their own standards, it's difficult to express it in specific numbers.
Q12) If In-ho reached a happy ending with the heroines of each world, how would they have unfolded and concluded? (Questioner: ss1534)
In Mina and So-yu’s dimensions, he would have lived a relatively normal life. In the other dimensions, it likely would have ended with his freedom being suppressed.
Q13) Roughly how far has the story progressed? And including the Magical Girl World currently being remade, how many more worlds are planned? (Questioner: Il-oh)
Once the Maria arc ends, we'll be about halfway through.
There are three arcs left related to the main heroines. As for arcs related to sub-heroines, it depends on how many I decide to include, so the number isn't fixed.
Q14) Will all the foreshadowing be resolved by the end? Like the Original Dimension, the 1st Class God Managed World, etc. (Questioner: Clover_699)
I don't intend to leave anything unresolved on purpose.
Q15) I'm curious about your current occupation. (Questioner: Yandere Expert)
I'm an ordinary office worker.
Q16) Do you have plans to write a next work? (Questioner: Hwang Seong-hyeon_800, Yesvelpia, Gongso)
I have a few ideas, but no concrete plans yet.
Q17) Did Cheong-yeon die by So-yu’s hand in the Descent of the Heavenly Demon arc? (Questioner: Wiak)
Yes.
Q18) Which heroine was the most obsessed with In-ho? (Questioner: SIL1101)
They all showed the maximum amount of obsession they were capable of.
Q19) I'm curious about the motivation for writing this work. (Questioner: Yesvelpia)
The reason I started serializing The Nature of Possession is that I really love "Regret, Obsession, and Harem" novels, but unfortunately, there weren't any works on Novelpia that perfectly fit my taste.
That's why I wrote The Nature of Possession.
Q20) Will there be an EP where they truly love each other and have children, like Team Leader Mina? (Questioner: Yesvelpia)
I don't think there will be an EP featuring children.
Since I'm single, I find it difficult to even imagine having a child.
Q21) Have you thought about any "IF" side stories? (Questioner: Yesvelpia, Moonlight Dawn)
I've thought about things similar to the SIDE episodes I posted before, but I have no specific plans for "IF" side stories.
Q22) If In-ho possesses the body of a Dimension Traveler, does he steal their abilities? (Questioner: Puppy_684)
It depends on where that ability is anchored.
If it's a physical ability of the body, it's possible. If it's an ability of the soul, it's impossible.
Q23) When death approached In-ho, the Heavenly Demon told him to take whatever he wanted, whether it be wealth or women. If In-ho survived through some miracle and actually went around with a string of concubines and lovers, would the Heavenly Demon have allowed it? (Questioner: Papimon_134)
"Where is the fool who actually does what they're told? Know this: if you misbehave with your lower half even once, I'll pluck it right off."
Q24) Is your health okay? (Questioner: Tanko)
I have the health status of a modern-day office worker. I go to the gym regularly and strive for survival.
Q25) Did you major in Creative Writing? (Questioner: 5656333)
I come from an engineering background.
Q26) Do you plan to show the current status or epilogues of the former heroines? (Questioner: Byeon Jae-won)
I am showing epilogues for the main heroines. As for the sub-heroines, nothing specific is planned.
Q27) Will there be an episode where all the heroines have a catfight later? (Questioner: Hot Throat Candy, PIA1632875325370)
Since this relates to future developments, I'll give no comment on this one.
Q28) Is there a dimension where he dies as soon as he possesses someone? (Questioner: Puppy_684)
He died in a similar fashion in the very first dimension he possessed. As for future developments, no comment.
Q29) Have you thought about adding more R-18 developments? (Questioner: Yesvelpia)
I looked at the statistics, and the view count drops sharply in the R-18 chapters.
I figured they either weren't interesting, or perhaps many of the readers are minors.
I plan to include R-18 developments only when absolutely necessary for the plot, and about five such chapters are currently confirmed.
Q30) Where do you get your ideas? (Questioner: Yesvelpia, FGO Beginner)
For the main episodes, I follow clichés from various media or twist them slightly.
Otherwise, I get material for sub-episodes from daily life.
For example, while getting a haircut, I might think, What if the hairdresser was obsessed with me?
Q31) What is the secret to writing so well? (Questioner: Moonzzi)
I don't think I write well.
Q32) Will Master and Mina appear in this arc? Or will they be skipped this time? (Questioner: Creamy Potato)
No comment.
Q33) What would have happened if In-ho was a girl and the heroines were men? (Questioner: MJM)
???: Abandon all hope, recruit.
Q34) Is In-ho happy? (Questioner: 43 76)
I want In-ho to be happy.
Q35) The story is interesting; do you think so too, Author? (Questioner: Dokgoe)
I think there are interesting stories and stories that aren't.
The episode I think I wrote best is the Emma episode.
The most disappointing one is the Garam episode.
Q36) What do you think about when creating the heroines? (Questioner: Dokgoe)
In the case of the main heroines, I took motifs from the Seven Deadly Sins and combined them with various elements.
I don't think they were created exactly according to those motifs... but that's how it started.
Q37) Author, do you do back-to-back uploads? (Questioner: Dokgoe)
I do them when I'm in good condition...
But it seems there are many cases where I can't.
Q38) Are there other conditions for the bodies In-ho reincarnates into, besides the person being dead? (Questioner: Arumolu)
It's possible if the person is dead or an irrecoverable subject.
Q39) What happens if the body In-ho revives in is in a situation where it dies immediately? (Questioner: Arumolu)
He dies.
Q40) Can In-ho ever become a woman? (Questioner: NCJ)
No.
Q41) Which dimension's In-ho has the biggest dick? (Questioner: Lurein)
The dimension where Emma is.
=================================================================================
Q42) What happened to Shin On-yu?
"...In-ho."
A room where not a single ray of light entered.
A young woman sat on the bed, curled into a ball.
She repeatedly called out the man's name.
It was the name of the man she had held in her heart her entire life, the man she had killed with her own hands.
After being released from the juvenile detention center, she lived a life confined to her home.
Her parents only clicked their tongues in pity while looking at her door; they did not force her out of the room.
Her parents were good people who cared for their daughter.
They had even moved far away, so there was less scrutiny from neighbors.
But even so, Shin On-yu could not go outside.
The guilt continued to weigh her down.
"I... I didn't mean for that to happen...."
The memories of that day continued to torment her.
Shin On-yu lowered her head deeply and scratched at her scalp.
[Do you feel sorry for him?]
A voice was heard from somewhere.
Shin On-yu raised her head and looked around the room.
There was no one.
"W-who's there?"
She asked, but no answer came.
Was it a hallucination? But the voice had been far too vivid for that.
"I-I'm sorry. I'm so sorry to In-ho."
Shin On-yu answered the question, feeling as though she were grasping at straws.
[Is that so?]
Then came the voice again.
It was a sound coming from her shadow, reflected by the moonlight.
"W-who are you?"
The shadow wavered.
Then it began to rise. The thing that had been stuck to the floor began to bulge upward.
Before long, it took shape, its tip turning sharp, and it suddenly lunged at Shin On-yu.
"Agh!!"
Shin On-yu tried to scream at the pain of her shoulder being pierced, but something black flying from elsewhere blocked her mouth.
Her body was gradually lifted into the air. She felt something sprouting from the thing that had impaled her shoulder.
That something gradually took form and became a woman.
A neat bob and a suit. It was the attire of an office worker often seen on the streets.
"Hello. You're Shin On-yu, right?"
The woman asked her casually, like a routine identity check.
Nod, nod.
Shin On-yu, suspended in the air with pain spreading from her shoulder, nodded her head violently.
"And you said you feel sorry for In-ho."
You're the woman, right? the stranger asked again.
Shin On-yu nodded once more.
"If there were an opportunity for atonement, would you take it?"
The woman asked, and Shin On-yu, her mind growing faint from the pain, nodded reflexively.
And that was her final thought.
Thwack, thwack, thwack—
Numerous black shadows sprouting from behind the woman pierced Shin On-yu’s body.
They tore through the fragile woman's body multiple times, turning it into a tattered mess.
Viscous blood splattered across the room.
"I'll accept those feelings, then."
Wiping the blood splattered on her face with her hand, the woman in the suit spoke.
Wriggling, the black shadows began to tear away and consume Shin On-yu’s body, which had collapsed onto the bed, bit by bit.
