Greetings, everyone. I am Qichang Jingxin. (TL:the author himself yoo~)
Ah, ti really passes in the blink of an eye. It is already September. How was everyone's sumr vacation? As for , I had to go to training every day, and at night I had to squeeze out ti to write. My days have been even busier than when I was in school. Hehe. Bitter laugh.
Originally, the plan for this volu's afterword was to have Yutsuki and Shido summarize things through reading letters from Fraxinus, but unfortunately I do not have the energy for that. So I will simply pick a few keywords and comnt on them.
———————————— Ally of Justice ————————————
Back when I read that Kurumi's volu, my first thought was—
Tachibana really is a Type Moon fan.
Otherwise, who among you could co up with this kind of thing?
A pampered high school JK, at such a young age, already having a grand dream like Emiya to protect world peace and beco an ally of justice. If you say Tachibana did not reference a certain red-cloaked man, I absolutely do not believe you.
Honestly, I was really afraid Kurumi would suddenly shout "Unlimited *BEEP* Works." That scene would definitely be... tsk tsk.
Also, I can say with great confidence that in the world of Date A Live, Gen Urobuchi definitely does not exist. Otherwise, if Kurumi had watched a few episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, she would never have ended up where she is today.
"I think it is very dangerous to let children believe there is no darkness in the world." —By Urobuchi Gen.
Mm. As expected of Urobuchi. Very well said. Clap clap.
———————————— Shido Has Grown ————————————
Hearing this actually makes quite happy.
After all, this is a waifu oriented novel. While creating a heroine readers can like, it also needs to make readers feel that the male lead is worthy of being liked by the heroine.
The fact that you can say that ans the effort I put in was not wasted.
Well, Itsuka Shido's growth is sothing I started thinking about after finishing the Miku volu.
After all, a large part of Date A Live is Shido capturing newly appearing Spirits. Strictly speaking, the story is made of unit arcs. Although there is a main plot, its presence is rather thin. The main reason is that the protagonist Shido really changes very little. Here I especially want to complain about the Mukuro volu.
My idea was this:
At the start, Shido's personality is the sa as in the original. But after each incident, and after eting each Spirit, Shido's attitude and way of thinking would change little by little.
Those changes would slowly pile up.
Then, when compared with the original Shido, readers would be able to see just how much Shido changed after eting Yutsuki.
———————————— The World Line Has Changed ————————————
I saw this comnt in the final chapter of this volu, during the part where Kurumi gives up fighting Mio.
But I can say very clearly that the direction of the world line was already different from the original long before that part.
Readers who have read the original may feel that my Kurumi volu is much darker and bloodier than the original. But in reality, in the original, Shido died 204 tis before Kurumi discovered Mio's true identity.
This ti, when Mio t Kurumi, Shido had died 143 tis in total.
Well, that actually does not prove anything, and there is not much point comparing them.
I just want to say that a so-called change in the world line does not necessarily an the protagonist must do one very important thing at one certain point, causing the world line to suddenly jump.
It can also be a slow, steady stream.
The sa ti, the sa place, the sa event, and the sa result may seem to happen. But because of Yutsuki's actions, other people's views may change in so way, and at so point in the future, they will make a completely different choice.
For example, Yutsuki influenced Shido, influenced Tohka, influenced Origami...
And now, she has influenced Kurumi.
Of course, during this process, Yutsuki has also been influenced by others.
———————————— My Thoughts on the Kurumi Volu ————————————
Well, speaking from the good side, I actually quite like the setting Tachibana added for Kurumi: that she once admired allies of justice.
After all, I am also a fan of "allies of justice," so it made Kurumi feel much more familiar to .
Also, Tokisaki Kurumi herself is a very unique character in the original in all kinds of ways.
She t Shido but was not sealed.
She killed more than ten thousand people by her own will.
She does not long for salvation.
Instead, she planned to kill Shido and take his spirit power.
All of these make Kurumi stand out far more than the other Spirits, and make her very charming.
—Of course, there are also those dark histories created by her Eighth Bullet. Suppresses laughter.
Of course, Tachibana's character setting is great.
But the plot of that volu, how should I put it...
Why is it all romantic lovey dovey scenes?
No, although what I am about to say next may sound a little harsh, I feel that this volu should have written more about how Shido was brutally and inhumanely killed by DEM, and how much tornt and pain Kurumi suffered through the repeated loops.
The more painful, the better. The main point should have been one word: miserable.
Cough cough——of course, I am just joking. Do not take it seriously.
It is not that it was written badly. I just feel that Tachibana's distribution of scenes in this volu was a bit off.
Because Kurumi and Shido's date scenes took up most of the volu, while Shido's deaths were only ntioned lightly a few tis.
So when eyepatch Kurumi confessed to Shido that he had died 204 tis...
What I thought was only:
'Oh, he died 204 tis.'
How should I say it...
It felt about the sa as hearing Kurumi tell Shido, "You ate 204 pieces of bread this month."
There was no real feeling to it.
To be fair, back when I watched Steins;Gate, the loops with Okabe really tortured until my heart went cold.
———————————— Hiatus Notice ————————————
Calm down! Calm down!
Put down the weapons in your hands!
We are all civilized people. Gentlen use words, not fists!
Well, the reason is actually very simple.
I am currently in training, and I need to work with other people on a final project webpage. I am the group leader, so aside from my own tasks, I also need to manage everyone else's progress. I really cannot squeeze out extra ti to write.
This chapter was started at 11 PM, and now it is exactly 1 AM.
Well, I will probably be busy for around ten days.
I just thought that if I sank without a word for ten days, then ca back and posted an afterword, you would definitely explode. So I squeezed out ti to finish this.
Lastly, let talk a little about the story I plan to write next.
For the next volu, I have decided not to write the original main plot for now. Instead, I will make a completely original, independent volu.(TL:peak volu by the way, I will glaze this fanfic and this volu specifically till the end of my life)
This volu will also recover most of the foreshadowing I planted earlier in one go.
Also, serious warning: the next volu will be painful. Very painful. (TL: I almost bawled my eyes out when I listen to that volu at school bro)
Readers who have read my Girl and Dragon should understand what I an.(TL: it's a ntion to his other novels)
Readers who do not want to read tragedy may also skip it, because even if you do not read this volu, it will not stop you from understanding the main plot of this book.
Kuku——my Mystic Eyes have already seen your thoughts and reactions when you read this part. Just as I expected, you have been completely guided by like puppets on strings.
Then, with that said, it is about ti to end.
Everyone, let us et again in the near future!
TL: next will be a special volu, you can say it's an If route, a route where Shido is dead permanently, Kurumi give up, and everything is fucked. But, it's also the best volu of this fanfic, and will be the reason I will love this fanfic till the end,the volu is super long, but it's worth it, glazing this fanfic and this volu is the reason this heart still beat (that one CSM ).
