Main Story Complete Afterword
Hello! It's Kurabbang!!!!!!!
First off, let me cover the important stuff.
There are three endings prepared in the side stories, in order!
Bad Ending -> Doesn't make a wish. #Tragic
Normal Ending -> “Send me back to the original world.” #Tragic
True Ending -> “I want to go back to the beginning.” #Redemption
Look forward to them!
Due to the nature of picaresque tales, we can't glorify villains, but inevitably opinions will divide—so I've prepared options to suit every taste.
That said, all three are fully plausible from the story's perspective, so just imagine the tale branching based on Ailin's choice!
The proper lovey-dovey 19+ scene you've all been waiting for? It's waiting in the True Ending.
What follows is just some rambling afterthoughts.
It was the picaresque story I really wanted to write. Hope you enjoyed it!
Picaresque with yuri and TS... all niche genres, so I wrote purely for the love of it, sales be damned.
A huge thank you to the 100-200 readers who kept up in real-time!
From the moment I conceived this tale, the plot was locked in.
(Though in the chapter 2 author's note, I mentioned the plot was set—but later learned that's a classic abandonment red flag, so I scrubbed it. Hawawawa...)
Back in February 2024, I actually finished I Became the Monologuing Vina (a Blue Archive parody). Sure, it was around chapter 40 with 2,000 views per installment, but that was only Part 1!
Even for a short story, seeing it through to the end was tougher—and more thrilling—than I'd imagined.
I love you all!!!!!!!!!!! Dear readers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway. No new uploads for a bit. It's like subsisting on army dumplings while grinding out words—people literally drop dead from that, physically speaking????????
Currently dual-serializing How to Live as the Golden Sun and I Read a Webnovel and Became a Constellation. Two tracks it is.
Next project in the works? Nah, not quite!
Yuri...... yuri...... So much I want to write. But real-life hurdles!!!!!!!!!
Probably after wrapping Golden Sun Something, Golden Sun Girl, or Golden Hair Law.
Then maybe that TS yuri Vtuber hero-hunter story I posted a few times, yanked, reposted, yanked again... and eventually abandoned.
Sales? Screw 'em!!!! It's the story I want to tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This afterword feels too short... Hmm. Doubt you'll even read it. Feel free to skip—I'm embarrassed.
Anyway, that's it from me. We're not saying goodbye forever, right? We'll cross paths again someday!!!
Once more: I love you, dear reader.
Kurabbang, bowing in apology.
