Mystery: Lucky

(dazed) Before I knew it... (browsing) it's already 910,000 words!

Why write a thank you note... Because everyone is writing about it, I want to write about it too (you)

But actually I don't know what to say... Because the friends who see it now all know how this book came about, so... I still don't understand how it got to where it is today.

I was a short story writer at first, and I posted the book on impulse, so many people can probably feel the beginning of the book, well, how should I put it... I wrote the first volume like a PPT.

It's like breaking the key plot of the original work into a series of pictures, and then inserting a character into each segment, and finally forming the effect of the first volume including the beginning of the second volume - a story connected by one event after another, lacking transitions.

This is the writing habit I keep when writing short stories.

In fact, before I really started thinking about the future of this book, the plot I had in mind probably ended at the end of the first volume, the end of Tingen City, and the death of Alice.

Even when I was thinking about what to write, I didn’t change the ending of the first volume. This is… I left myself room for regret.

——If I can’t continue, I’ll just end it right there.

But as of today, I… I don’t dare to run away casually anymore (closed eyes).

One is the bizarre coincidence I mentioned in the preface. When I looked up Alice’s birthday, I was surprised to find that I changed the date of recycling the probability dice from the next morning to the evening of the same day. As a result, after setting the birthday, I calculated the date… Oh my god, why is she recycling the probability dice on her birthday?

Another… Alas, this may be something only I know. When I started writing, I deleted a sentence about the extraordinary ability of the lucky person… Well, that one is that you can’t rely on luck. That was actually written by Squid, not me.

I didn’t even think of this when I was writing the role-playing method… I only found out when I went back to look (dazed)

But I’ve written it all here, let’s talk about the question someone asked me about—about the volume name.

The title of the first volume is Lucky Man. I have to admit that I just picked it up.

At the end of the volume, I tore off the illusion of luck and wrote down the way to act that cannot rely on luck. Adding the name of the potion of Sequence 7, it barely echoes the title.

The title of the second volume is Insider. This title... was partly picked up casually. In short, it was chosen in a hurry (quite hastily).

As a person who woke up from a blank slate, Alice, who has a completely unfamiliar world in her memory, has a serious lack of sense of belonging to this world.

Tingen City can barely be regarded as part of her sense of belonging, but death has cut off this connection to some extent. At the beginning of the second volume, she once tried to establish a new connection and start a new life.

When Alice gradually accepted this place, Amon tore off the peaceful mask for her and revealed part of the truth - she might not be a human.

So Alice in the third volume gradually lost herself in the facts she was unwilling to face. She thought she was a god and thought she was high above. Even if she found her memory of being a human, she did not regard herself as a human.

Until fate sent her a belated birthday gift, telling her with facts that she was no different from others, they were all toys of fate, and her self-proclaimed memories might even be outright lies.

Hmm... Does this look like a beautiful dream that you wake up from?

This is one meaning of Sleeping Beauty, and the other is very clear, which is the literal meaning - she really slept for a long time in an unknown place like Sleeping Beauty.

So the fourth volume is called God and Man. Although her way of thinking can still be described as anthropomorphic, if you look back at her in the third volume, you will find that she is actually much more obedient, and even at some times, she can empathize with humans...

What a great progress!

I thought about whether to put the ending of the fourth volume in a place that is equally shocking, but after a hesitation, I still want to put that thing in the fifth volume (eyes shifted)

The fifth volume is called Light Chaser.

I struggled for a long time before choosing this name. I chose several versions of the title, but none of them satisfied me. Until I reopened the sixth volume of Weird, I suddenly realized that Light Chaser was so suitable (you)

I put this name on the list of options, and then I found that the second volume of Suhuan was also about Light Chaser, so I decided on the spot to call it Light Chaser (you)

As for the preface - see you tomorrow (you)

Why is it called this name...see you at the end of the volume (you)

(Escape) (End of this chapter)
