Chapter 218: Afterword
<Afterword>
Hello. This is Mint-Mara-Chocoball.
I originally intended to write this afterword along with the epilogue, but due to a clumsy mistake, two chapters were uploaded at once yesterday...
This is already my second completed work.
Finishing this project feels quite different from when I wrapped up my first work, which was full of ups and downs.
I feel a mix of relief that I’ve successfully finished this race and regret, thinking that if I had written just a little better, I might have been able to keep more readers with me until the end.
Nevertheless, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the readers who followed me to the very end, as well as to all the readers who, though they may not have finished yet, found enjoyment in my work.
Thank you.
It was because of all of you that I found the strength to reach the conclusion.
The initial idea for Women-Only Gym came to me while I was working at a cafe with a fellow writer.
The story began with the suggestion: "Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a gym where the trainer used hypnosis?"
I wanted to depict a protagonist who overcomes his own traumas through hypnosis and portray the various episodes that arise in that process, but I’m not sure if I conveyed that well. Haha;;
As a "gym newbie" who knows absolutely nothing about fitness, I had a lot of worries and concerns about whether I could write this well.
I searched YouTube and looked at photo references in related books.
Even so, I’m sure many shortcomings were visible.
While this novel revealed my personal deficiencies as a writer, I hope you can at least see that I did my best to ensure you didn't feel uncomfortable while reading.
This novel was completed with the help of many people.
The readers, my fellow writers, and Kim PD.
Perhaps because it’s a novel finished with help from so many directions, I feel quite good.
Thank you for making me feel this way.
Jae-ho's story ends here.
While there are parts left to show you in the side stories, the main narrative has effectively come to a close.
For the side stories, I’m thinking of writing about ten chapters covering the aftermath.
Things like a parenting diary, intimacy during pregnancy, stories about the other members, and the stories of Heo Da-young and Han Gyeo-ul before marriage.
Since I believe there are still stories left to tell in the side chapters, I plan to take some time and then return.
I would appreciate it if you could wait patiently for the side stories.
It would be a lie to say it wasn't difficult getting this far.
However, I was able to make it here because of the comments that always cheered me on.
I am always grateful, and I love you all.
I really should have posted this with the epilogue... ㅠㅠ It’s a shame.
Following Villainess Training in Romance Fantasy, Women-Only Gym has now concluded.
Two works are already finished.
I will return once again with a third project.
I’m not sure yet if the piece I submitted to the contest is worthy of going premium, but I am preparing the cover for now...
I am always grateful, and I love you all.
