Date a Live:This is not the date I wanted! Chapter 549 549: If Route Afterword

Hello again, everyone. I am Qichang Jingxin.

In a few more days, it will be the Spring Festival, so I will say it a little early here: Happy Spring Festival, everyone.

Before I knew it, the If Route of the special volu was finally finished. Although there are many things I want to say, having two afterwords in one volu might feel strange to readers, so I will keep it brief.

To be honest, the original reason I wanted to write the If Route was actually very simple. The first half of the special volu was all about Yutsuki, so I wanted to think up so plots and write stories for the Spirits as well. After all, they ultimately forgot that despair and began their lives anew. I wanted to spend a little more thought, using Kurumi's other choice as an opportunity to talk about the daily lives of Yumi and the Spirits afterward. You can treat it as a bit of small self indulgence from . There is no super plot developnt, sorry~

As for the content, personally, I can only say that so parts ca out well and so parts did not. For example, in Tohka's chapter, I had not fully grasped what I specifically wanted to write back then, so the plot ended up a little thin. Then there were parts like Miku's chapter, where I was very satisfied with the setup, developnt, turn, and conclusion. Also, because every story was relatively independent, after finishing each character, I had to rethink the the and make clear distinctions all over again, so it was actually more tiring to write than usual.

Also, I will honestly ntion a small, unimportant behind the scenes incident. Regarding the plot of Kurumi returning after Yoshino's chapter, I had originally planned to write it in two chapters, Part 1 and Part 2. But because I was a little dazed while updating late at night, I forgot to write "Part 1" in the title, and many people thought it was already finished. Then I reread it myself and found that the stopping point really did feel like an ending.

I thought that even if I wrote "Part 2", it would mostly just explain so small, nonessential details. So I slightly revised the original content and treated it as a beautiful mistake. Since I had already made the mistake, I might as well go along with it. It also saves from using filler to trick money out of everyone's wallets. (glances away) (TL:don't worry I've fixed it)

Lastly, I will talk a little about the main story's arrangent. I have already thought out the general direction, but I am still hesitant about how to revise the details and put them into practice. I plan to go back and review the original plot before deciding. I should start writing again during or after the Spring Festival holiday.

All right, that is all for this little ramble.

Finally, once again, I wish everyone great new year. Take care~

(TL:though it's june lol~ but happy new year~)
