Afterword [END]

I originally wanted to write two more side stories, but too much has been going on recently. I haven't been able to find the time, and work isn't as relaxed as it used to be. After the New Year, I also signed up for driving lessons. I'm taking my Subject Two exam on Thursday, and I've already set aside the retake fee. Truly, you never realize how clumsy you are until you try to learn how to drive...

I started writing this book on March 8th of last year and finished it this March, taking exactly one full year. Thank you all for accompanying me along the way. This path has been harder and more time-consuming than I imagined. Shisan can't promise anything, but I just want to say that we will continue walking together in the future. I'll keep working hard to ensure there are no missed updates and no leaves of absence...

I haven't started writing the new book yet. I have to wait until my Subject Two exam is over. I estimate it won't be uploaded until the end of next month or early May. I won't be as busy then as I am now, and Shisan doesn't want to start uploading now only to miss updates due to various obligations. Once I get through this exceptionally busy period, the consistently updating me from before will return.

I've currently put together two outlines: one Hollywood-themed and one sci-fi. However, the new book will still be in the entertainment genre. The sci-fi outline is temporarily saved on my computer, and we'll talk about it later.

Please wait patiently for Shisan's new book at the end of April or early May (keep an eye out for updates to this book's synopsis). I'll be back soon, so please support Shisan just as you always have!

Shisan has made a lot of preparations for the new book. Although I can only watch Hollywood from the sidelines, I've still gained a bit of an understanding. It will be a story about a newcomer climbing up from the very bottom.

Finally, Shisan wants to say a sincere thank you. Thank you for your continuous support, and thank you to all the friends in the group for your encouragement when Shisan was feeling down. Thank you, everyone!
