I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

(????)??Hi! tortured!

This is Shu Mengshi, an amateur novelist who hardly had a complete rest during the National Day holiday.

It wasn't until I started writing this postscript that I suddenly discovered that just 3 days ago, October 6, 2021, happened to be the first anniversary of the serialization of this book~~

One year ago, in the early morning of October 6, 2020, the author uploaded the first 3 chapters of this book with anxiety.

The anxiety I felt at that time is still fresh in my memory...

When I told the editor that I was going to write a novel about ancient Japanese swords and halberds, the editor told me that no one had written this type of novel before, and he couldn’t guarantee whether there would be an audience, so he persuaded me to write a book called “Demon Slayer: Blade”. , the author uses swordsmanship to slay demons and eliminate demons.

After much thought, the author rejected the editor's proposal firmly. Compared to killing ghosts, I still want to write novels about beheading people!

Well, the topic is far away, let’s get back to the topic~~

Although I expected that the length of the seventh volume this time would be amazing, but I didn't expect it to be so amazing...

Volume 7 has a total of [1053926] words, and was serialized from May 12th to October 9th, for a total of nearly 5 months.

More than 1.05 million words...is the longest chapter so far.

And this record will definitely be broken by the final volume, because according to the conservative estimate of the author, the total length of the final volume is at least one million words, and there will be no problem at all until the end of spring in 2022.

After writing the last word of this volume, the author reviewed the content of this volume carefully. There are many places that are not very satisfactory. The author really still has a long way to go...

But relatively, there are quite a few places that the author feels quite satisfied with—for example: the plot where Ogata returns when the Red Moon Fortress is about to fall.

For this plot, the author also specially created an original poem for Ogata, which is really too hard...

Now that the serialization of the seventh volume has ended, I don't have much to say about the seventh volume. Next, let's talk about the final volume and the new book.

As I said before, the final volume will be the longest chapter of the book, so don't worry about the end of the book, the book is still far from the end.

Regarding the plot of the final volume, I can't spoil too much. The only thing I can spoil is the two trailers released at the end of the last chapter.

According to those two predictions,

Some book friends with big brains and knowledge of Mount Koya can probably guess what kind of plot will be in the final volume.

Well, after finishing the final volume, let's finally talk about the new book.

Regarding the new book, I have told you before that I plan to write a large series of "Samurai Novels Trilogy", and the three samurai novels share a world view. The background of the new book will be 70 years after the Kansei period of this book-the end of the Edo period, which is commonly known as the end of the Tokugawa period.

The author took the time to write the first chapter of the new book some time ago, and sent it to the editor-in-chief and editor-in-charge for reading, and received unanimous praise from both of them. After one chapter, I am really sincere and sincere...

The name of the protagonist and cheat for the new book have been set.

The author already has a framework for the general plot and setting.

Let me tell you a little bit about the content of the new book.

Ogata in this work, not long after his debut, became a wanted criminal across the country and lived a life of nomads. Ogata's stage is mainly "Jianghu".

As for the protagonist of the next work, his stage is mainly [City Town].

Depending on the stage, the type and style of the story will naturally be very different.

So you don’t have to worry about me crazily copying the plot of this work in the next work, because basically I can’t move it...

By the way, let me tell you about the main characters of the next work.

The background of the next work is the end of the Tokugawa era, so the main characters of the next work will be some famous figures in history.

The main characters in the next work are: Okita Souji, Hijikata Toshizo, Saitoichi, Nagakura Shinpachi, Kondo Isamu, Sakamoto Ryoma, Katsura Kogoro...

Of course, because of the shared world view, some characters in this work will also appear in the next work.

Who are they? I won't spoil this~~

The new work and this work will be seamlessly connected - when this work is about to end, I will release a new work. So please be patient.

Finally, at the end, let me tell you about the "Sexual Transformation Version of Ogata's Extra Story"...

Since the serialization of volume 7, some book friends have been suggesting that I write a story about Ogata under the world view of fate, so that Ogata can be masturbated like Saber and Nero, and then summoned as a follower...

Everyone's voices are too loud, I didn't expect everyone to want to watch this kind of episode so much...

But the author regrets to tell everyone: I have never played FGO.

I haven't watched a single episode of Fate's anime either. I have always only had a superficial understanding of fate, so I can’t write it even if I want to (Leopard Head Cries.jpg)

But it's okay!

You can write a fan~~

Book friends who have itchy hands and are familiar with fate can try to write and read the "fate version of Ogata Niang". Inform the author!

The last, the last, the last—the author has nothing to say.

Therefore, the postscript of this volume ends here!

This should be the last time the author wrote the postscript, because the next time is not to write the postscript, but to finish this testimonial... It's really embarrassing...

My deepest thanks to everyone who supported this book! !
