NOVEL NEXT Afterword
As the one who translated this novel from chapter 1 to chapter 997, I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who has taken the time to read this story. Each click, each moment spent reading these words, is the reason I continued translating this novel.
I hope my upload schedule didn’t annoy you guys much, especially looking at how much it fluctuates from 3 chapters a day to perhaps 1 chapter a day to even none at all; not to mention the occasional hiatuses due to my college life. To you all that stayed with me since I first translated chapter 1, I sincerely thank you. There were a couple roadblocks, from translating this novel on OtakuTL to Shanghai Fantasy…
I hope you all enjoyed the story!
To the readers, whether you’ve followed along from the very beginning or just joined the journey, your engagement has been the driving force behind this story’s continuation. Your imagined laughter, thoughtful moments, or even puzzled frowns while reading are the invisible threads that tie this work to reality. I really lost my motivation when OtakuTL disbanded. I’m thankful for all the support during that time which really made me motivated enough to continue translating this piece till the end.
I’d also like to acknowledge those who have provided feedback and constructive criticism. Writing is often a solitary endeavor, but it’s your input that has helped to refine and improve the narrative, making the story richer and more relatable.
Lastly, I really like the novels of Endless Changes, or in Chinese, 变化无穷, and I hope you guys did as well. This novel means a lot to me. It’s the first novel I translated, and also the first novel I finished. First chapter was on June 16, 2022 and last on October 14, 2023! It has been a long journey, truly. Thank you everyone for your support, and I hope to see you guys again! ^_^
