I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

(????)??Hi! tortured!

This is Shu Mengshi, an amateur novelist who has rarely taken a break during the National Day holiday.

It was not until I started to write this postscript that I suddenly discovered: Just 3 days ago, that is, October 6, 2021, it happened to be the first anniversary of the serialization of this book~~

One year ago, in the early morning of October 6, 2020, the author Jun uploaded the first three chapters of the book with anxiety.

The feeling of anxiety at that time is still fresh in my memory...

When I told the editor that I wanted to write a novel based on the theme of ancient Japanese swords and halberds, the editor told me that no one had written this type of novel before, and there was no guarantee that there would be an audience, so I persuaded me to write a "Demon Slayer". , The author uses swordsmanship to kill demons and slay demons.

The author Jun thought about it again and again-and firmly rejected the editor's proposal. Compared to killing ghosts or something, I still want to write novels about killing people!

Alright, the topic is far off, let’s get back to the topic~~

Although it was expected that the length of Volume 7 this time would be amazing, but I did not expect it to be so amazing...

Volume 7 has a total of [1053926] characters, serialized from May 12th to October 9th, a total of nearly 5 months of serialization.

More than 1.05 million words... is the longest chapter at present.

And this record will definitely be broken by the final volume, because according to the author's conservative estimate, the total length of the final volume is at least a million words, and there will be no problem writing by the end of the spring of 2022.

After writing the last word of the volume, the author reviewed the content of the volume. There are many places where he was not satisfied. The author has a long way to go...

But on the other hand, there are quite a few things that the author feels quite satisfied—for example, the plot of Ogata's return when the Red Moon Fortress is about to fall.

For this plot, the author also specially tailored an original poem for Ogata, which is really too hard...

Now that the seventh volume is over, I don’t have much to say about the seventh volume. Next, let’s talk about the final volume and the new book.

As I said before, the final volume will be the longest chapter in this book, so you don't need to worry about the end of this book, it's still a long time before the end of this book.

Regarding the plot of the final volume, I can't spoil it too much. The only thing I can spoiler is the two trailers released at the end of the previous chapter.

According to the two notices, some book lovers with big brains and knowledge of Koyasan will probably be able to guess what kind of plot will be in the final volume.

Okay, after finishing the final volume, let's talk about the new book at the end.

Regarding the new book, I also told you before that I plan to write a large series of "Samurai Novel Trilogy", and the three samurai novels share a worldview. The background of the new book will be 70 years after the Kansei period of the book-the end of the Edo period, which is commonly known as the Bakumatsu period.

The author took the time to write the first chapter of the new book some time ago, and sent it to the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-charge for reading, and won unanimous praise from both of them. After one chapter, it is really frightening...

The protagonist's name and cheats have been set for the new book.

The author has a framework for the rough plot and setting.

Let me tell you a little about the content of the new book.

The Ogata in this work, not long after his debut, became a national wanted criminal, living a wandering life. Ogata’s stage is mainly [Jianghu].

And the protagonist of the next work, his stage is mainly [City Town].

Depending on the stage, the type and style of the story will naturally be very different.

So you don’t have to worry about copying the plot of this book wildly in the next work, because I basically can’t move it...

By the way, let me tell you a little about the main character of the next game.

The background of the next work is the end of the shogunate era, so the main characters of the next work will be some famous characters in history.

The main characters of the next game are: Okita Soji, Tokata Suizo, Saito Ichi, Nagakura Shinpachi, Kondo Isa, Sakamoto Ryoma, Katsura Kogoro...

Of course, because it shares a worldview, some of the characters in this work will also appear in the next one.

Who are they? I won't spoil this one~~

The new work and this work will be seamlessly connected-when this work is about to end, I will release the new work. So please wait patiently.

At the end, let’s talk about "Sexual Transformation of Ogata"...

Since the beginning of the serialization of Volume 7, some book friends have always suggested that I write a fate worldview of Ogata Fanwai, so that Ogata will be mothered like Saber, Nero and others, and then be summoned as slaves...

Everyone’s voice is too loud, I didn’t expect everyone to want to watch this kind of extravagance so much...

But the author regrets to tell everyone: I have never played FGO.

I haven't watched an episode of Fate's animation. I have always had a very superficial understanding of fate~www.readwn.com~ so I can’t write even if I want (Leopard has a headache.jpg)

But it's okay!

You can write doujin~~

Book friends who are itchy and familiar with fate can try to write about the "fate version of Ogata Niang". The author also wants to see this kind of fan. If someone writes it, please be sure to write it first. Let the author know!

The last, the last, the last--the author has nothing to say.

So the postscript of this volume will end here!

This should be the last time the author writes the postscript, because the next time I will not write the postscript, but the testimonial after finishing the book... It's really embarrassing...

My deepest thanks to all those who support this book! !
