Chapter 102 Happy New Year & Author's Note on the Release of the Book

First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!

As mentioned above, the book will be available for purchase at midnight tonight. I would like to thank all the readers for your support and recognition. It is because of your support that the book "Light" has been able to successfully go through four rounds of recommendations and be successfully available for purchase today, 51 days after its initial publication.

Regarding updates, there will be a burst of 5 chapters, around 0 words each, after midnight. I'm currently writing Chapter 4, and depending on how well I write tonight, Chapter 5 might be updated tomorrow during the day. If you like it, please give me a first-day subscription!

If the initial subscription results are good, I will add an extra chapter as appropriate (according to the editor's reading data, a good standard starts from 1000, and an extra chapter will be added for every additional 200 initial subscriptions. There will also be extra chapters if there are large donations). Because I don't have many drafts on hand, and there are many things to do during the Chinese New Year, I may not be able to add extra chapters immediately, but I definitely won't renege on my promise.

In terms of plot, to be honest, this is Qingni's first time writing a chat group story, and also her first time writing a crossover anime story, so it was a little more difficult than she imagined. Because the power levels, time spans, and other aspects of each world are different, she needed to analyze and organize the timelines of each work, deduce how the plot would change after the protagonist's intervention, and simultaneously consider the proportion of plot between the main world and other worlds. Therefore, her writing speed has decreased somewhat recently compared to the earlier stages. However, the plot is under control and hasn't deviated from the expected framework, so there's no need to worry about it falling apart.

Because it's a chat group post, I was worried that some members might disappear for a long time if there were too many people, so I deliberately controlled the speed at which I added people. In terms of selecting the worlds later, I mainly considered the art style and power level (in the case of Naruto, it's not easy to add worlds with very different art styles, such as cultivation, star war, or Ultraman with too high a power level).

Another factor is the popularity of the characters and the ease with which they can be integrated into the plot. Some characters might be very popular, or have useful abilities and skills, but there aren't many good points of plot integration, so I'm hesitant (for example, Bleach, road movies like Frilian Elaina, or comedy anime like Konosuba). Of course, simply adding characters without exploring their worlds might be an option, but it feels like something's missing.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to share them.

Finally, I've created a small group for book lovers. I'll post the group number in the description later. If you'd like to join to chat, urge me to update, or offer suggestions, please take a look!
