Chapter 69 Remarks on the launch
Time flies.

This is Maruko's third book.

It's also the one that's been going the smoothest so far.

Regardless of academic achievements or creative work.

Third on the overall new book list, and first on the light novel list.

Thank you for your kindness.

"The Villain," my first book as an author, is the most immature yet most immature and full of inspiration and passion. It is the result of standing on the shoulders of two giants and constantly learning from and drawing inspiration from them.

Looking back at this debut work, I still feel a sense of unfamiliarity and awe. I think to myself, if I were to write it again, I'm afraid I would never be able to replicate it.

"The Prisoner" was an overambitious attempt, a willful act by Maruko to fulfill her dream of writing a grand narrative. In the end, she was dealt a blow by cruel reality.

That was the gap between a vision that was too high and the ability to write it that was insufficient; it was a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

It's like imagining Mona Lisa in your mind and then putting pen to paper to paint Bogan Lisa.

I was unhappy all year.

Just the feeling.

He will never be happy again in this life (he has turned to the dark side).

Because she no longer wanted to be bound by the past, she decided to let herself go on a new journey, break free from the cage, and find a pure land for her soul, which led to the birth of "Duka".

Unlike the meticulously designed systems and outlines of the previous two books, "Duka" is more like another personality of Maruko, freely expressing the fantasies in her mind.

He took what was originally a hesitant and indecisive subject matter and wrote freely, blending them into one.

One day, without any warning, Maruko finished a game of Warhammer 40k Dark Tide, and inexplicably opened the Writer's Assistant, and inexplicably finished writing the outline.

After reading it, we clasped our hands in delight, and that's exactly how it should be.

This is the story I wanted to write.

Humorous and lighthearted, with a wildly imaginative style.

A joyful adventure, a touching journey.

So, it's time to start a new book.

...

...

If Maruko were to summarize "Duka" in one sentence, she would say: "It is a happy little book."

Oh, my dear friend, please don't worry about this or that. Its purpose is simply to provide a moment of amusement for you to casually open and enjoy during your breaks from work and study.

If you can derive happiness from it, then it has fulfilled its most important and noble mission.

Maruko, as the creator, would also be incredibly happy.

It was a kind of ecstatic self-realization.

Words finally gained value.

Here, I would like to thank every reader who likes and supports "Duka".

I also want to thank my editor, Bacon. She provided guidance and assistance to all three of Maruko's works, ensuring their success.

All three books successfully made it onto the Sanjiang List.

As expected, I am grateful and thankful.

...

Finally, let's get back to the main topic.

What time will it be tomorrow?

When will it be updated?
How?

更！
I'll definitely update!

I'll definitely add more chapters!
I need to update this chapter a lot!

Maruko hopes everyone can be happy (grinning).

So--

"Ten updates tomorrow"

how is it?

There aren't enough drafts.

I'll work myself to the bone!

Red Bull and loratadine are ready.

"Available for purchase tomorrow at 12:00 noon"

I can no longer update at the same time, everyone.

But it will all be updated on the same day, I promise.

Please forgive me.

As for the extra chapters for the four alliance leaders, I promise to make them all up within a week. If Maruko is lying, her pants will definitely bulge.

Long-time readers know that Maruko is not a fast writer.

This is the greatest sincerity Maruko has ever shown.

Now that I'm old, my energy isn't what it used to be.

Adding to my woes, two new ailments, "urticaria" and "eczema," have conspired to afflict me, causing severe insomnia. (I suspect it's due to anxiety during the new book release period; my condition had been improving, but now it's flared up and unbearable.)
Dear readers.

I hope you'll come and show your support, considering this.

Every "subscription" and every "monthly pass" you give is the greatest encouragement and support for Wanzi.

It is also the guarantee that the meatballs rely on for survival.

The only way to repay this is by offering an interesting story.

I humbly request your subscription.

I humbly request a monthly pass.

Love you all, Radish Ball
