Volume 03: Afterword
Hey guys, JadePanda003 here!
The last chapter I just posted, which is Chapter 130th, marks the end of [Volume 03: Virtual Reality Time!]. We've come a long way now and the journey to reach this point — the chapter count to be more specific — has not been easy for me.
My ability to create chapters everyday was hindered mostly because of illnesses like flue and fever and my members are probably the ones who got affected the most. Anyway, onto this volume in general…
I think this volume prolonged the Lazy Dungeon Master Arc too much. I mean, I could've rushed it and end it at around Arc 8 but at the same time, I just felt like there was still something missing for the development to come where Shun would naturally want to go back home.
You could say that it's a precursor to him actually trying to improve his relationships with the people around him due to how much time he was away. There wasn't romance yet but I think you guys could tell the difference during the last half of Arc 9?
Anyway, from this point on, the plot will be progressing towards that next world which was spoiled to those who wanted to be spoiled at the Introduction Auxiliary Chapter. To those who didn't want to get spoiled, well, I left some hints in a chapter.
This Event will last for about 20 or 21(20 if we're talking about the main enemy of the Event being beaten) chapters tops, with the characters mainly going around in parties since going in a group would make them be on the receiving end of some game imposed punishments. Anyway, that's all that I could say for now about the next Arc.
Now, as for the future of this fanfiction, we're still going strong. I mean, I'm actually amazed at how I was able to continue posting chapters everyday. My three previous fanfictions didn't even reach 100 chapters, much less reach this much xD.
Writing this is really fun and I plan on continuing this.
I would like to thank you guys who are reading this novel right now. I wasn't planning on making this fanfiction get like 2k collections at all but here we are, nearing 7k collections almost.
Well, I think that's it for now. Thank you guys for all the support and I hope you guys will have an amazing 2022 and onwards! Peace!
