A lot depends on how I feel about it when I start writing, but still. As I write this, I’m thinking that maybe, with luck, I could keep Volume 8’s content pretty close to the Web version. However, with Volume 7, I’d like to think I succeeded at righting the ship and helping it sail back to its original route. More like “The author has no intention whatsoever of writing out the Web version over again.”Īdmittedly, it’s true that sticking to the Web version is probably a lost cause. What? “The author’s got no clue what’s going on”? No, not that. Be on the lookout for the next volume!Īlthough by now, I think something’s begun to dawn on most readers. The people engaged in that foreboding conversation at the start of this volume sure didn’t show up again, did they? Don’t worry-I haven’t forgotten about them. I’d suggest comparing her between the Web and novel versions, but really, if you’ve gone this far and not read the Web one, perhaps you’d enjoy sticking to the novels more by now. She might seem like a different person from the Web version by now, but this is how she originally was. Hinata, the star of this volume, was probably influenced the most by this. I won’t say who, but while the personality may be much the same, the motivations and skills that character comes with aren’t the same any longer. An even bigger reason, however, is because the background for a certain character has changed extensively. Thus, at around this point in the story, I decided to rewrite things a fair bit so we could get back to the main plot. That’s because, as I change the story’s developments here and there, it’s becoming impossible to keep everything connected the way it used to be. My claim that the “overall plot is the same” is really starting to ring hollow, I know. To be frank, the content doesn’t match at all. If you’ve read the Web version, I can’t blame you for thinking this is an entirely different story. You don’t see many people picking up a series at Volume 7, so I assume I don’t need to recommend that you should read the actual novel first. As those of you who’ve been with me up to now are aware, I often include spoilers in my afterwords. Was it that way from the start? I better not overthink it. I, my editor, could see through everything. I suppose you could say we’ve built a relationship of trust by this point. “You say that every time, don’t you? I’d assumed as much.”
