Ep530[afterword] - I Became a Drunkard in a Martial Arts Novel.

The long journey of serialization has finally reached its conclusion. Honestly, I'm still in disbelief. It feels like I should be writing the next installment of this story tomorrow, just like today; it all seems so surreal. I've received more love than I deserved, and in staying there, I also brought about disappointment to many. There were times when I lost my way amid the writing and when I couldn't pinpoint the readers' tastes. Thanks to these experiences, I reflected a lot and learned as well. I'm still an imperfect writer with more to fix than what has been fixed, but I've gained hope that I can improve. Originally, I intended never to write martial arts novels again once this work concluded. However, now that it's finished, I find myself wanting to take on the challenge once more. If this piece hadn't seen any success, I probably wouldn't have been able to write again. Therefore, I wish to extend my gratitude to the readers who showed their interest. Because of you, I was able to bring this story to an end, and I've found the courage to unfold the next one. I'm regretful that I couldn't incorporate everything I've learned into this work, but I'm determined to use it as nourishment to come back with an even more enjoyable piece. I'll be wrapping up the project in a concluded state for about a week to ten days to reflect and take a break. Once I've outlined the side stories to a certain extent, I'll continue with their serialization. These side stories might predominantly feature parts not fully covered in the main plot, like the tales of Yu Hwayon and Shin Yehwa, as well as mature scenes that weren’t entirely addressed in the main story. If there are any particular side stories you’re curious about or wish to see, please leave them in the comments! I'll do my best to write them in a delicious way that you’ll enjoy. To the readers who stuck with my imperfect writing for over a year, nearing two, I extend my deepest thanks for the last time. I sincerely hope that your future is filled with many enjoyable works and fortunate events. I'll be back shortly with news about the side story and new project serialization after a brief rest! Thank you truly for everything until now. (_ _) -Nunjack
