I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

Page 154

"It's all...it's all your...your fault..."

"It's not me." I sighed, "It's her own choice..."

...............

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a word of "Sheji".

Even in the crowd, I still spotted her figure at a glance.

"....." Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared, I was speechless for a moment and felt my eyes getting hot.

"I am back."

"...Welcome back."

Pause for a moment

Today, I finally resumed updating, and have been updating for many days, but everyone is still silent as usual... Everything seems to have gone back to a month ago.

As the title of this chapter suggests, "I'm Seventeen, Should I Touch the Wrinkles on My Face?" (although it comes from "Mr. Despair"), the main theme of this chapter is [growth].

It is not the changes that everyone sees, which the protagonist himself has not yet noticed, but the changes that the protagonist is deeply aware of.

People often don't realize that they have changed so obviously, but others can. When you realize that you have changed, it means that you have gradually matured and become a different person.

We always have to say goodbye to our original selves.

The original Yi Sheji that appeared in Chapter 2 will completely disappear in this chapter after causing the events in Chapter 3.

Because Yisheji has resolved the incident, even though the result may not seem so satisfactory to some people, it is resolved after all.

The protagonist, who was hesitant when faced with a choice, gradually developed his own opinions, and his personality was no longer as easy to change as before.

Just because I met different people, my life started to become very different.

People always change, and when I set the protagonist to talk to his former self, I am actually telling myself... and you who are reading this novel:

“It’s time to have a conversation with my former self.”

Fortunately, I had a chance to talk to my former self.

When I was sorting out my old books to use for review, I found a letter I wrote to my future self when I was a freshman in high school.

It was said to be a letter, but in fact it was just a piece of paper sandwiched in a book, but I have completely forgotten it now.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar handwriting on the piece of paper, I always feel like I see myself sitting at that seat and writing this letter.

He looked so bored and lonely, but judging from the content of the letter, he seemed to like this feeling very much.

Moreover, this letter also recalled my views on myself in junior high school and briefly mentioned how I became what I am now (first year of high school).

I was really touched while reading it, and what I thought about the most was: I actually have such a side to me.

But...when I write a letter to my future self, I seem to be a very middle school student...Come to think of it, I happened to come across "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions" at that time...No wonder.

If reading a book is like talking to the author, then reading a letter from someone is like having a conversation with that person. By this reasoning, when I read my former self's letter, I am actually having a conversation with my former self.

Although there is no way to get further answers, there will still be gains.

In short, from now on, you will see a protagonist who grows further, and you will also see how the protagonist helps others grow... What?

...What does giving up have to do with it...?

...Look, becoming mature means giving up your childish self, right? (That's probably enough explanation, right?)

So someone might ask, where did No Longer Human go?

Ah... well, you see, "No Longer Human" means losing the qualifications to be a human being.

And what is our protagonist often called?

That's right!

"Low-level creatures", "trash chicken", "insects"

Anyway, it's not a human, which fits the title...

....Okay, I was wrong. Actually, I did consider it, but because I still need to lay the groundwork, I can't highlight the theme of "No Longer Human". If you haven't noticed it, please don't remind me, just pretend you didn't see it. And for those who have noticed... just think of the title as "Youth that advocates giving up is like GalGame".

Well...no problem.

So let’s continue.

The fifteenth episode uses a God's perspective for the first time to describe the conversations and a few actions of several characters, which can be understood as storyboards in comics.

Just a reminder... those scenes take place at different times, and each scene represents one or half an episode, so you can guess how many episodes there will be by the end of this chapter. If you guess correctly, I'll add more chapters. (Of course, the results will be announced after the chapter is finished...)

In short, as a middle school and cute character, her temporary departure is also for the development of the plot. The reason why I delayed the update last month was that I was thinking about whether to let her leave.

It's not because I'm addicted to Three Kingdoms, League of Legends, Hearthstone, Overwatch, etc...

cough cough.

Since we have decided to write about [growth] in this chapter, it must be not just the protagonist, other characters will also gradually grow... I don't know if you have noticed that Liu Yan hasn't spoken for a long time.

Why is this? Did the author forget about him?

No! Listen carefully, this is a preview!

I decided to write a sequel about this guy after this chapter ends, explaining to you what he did... Is that not enough? Then two chapters will do...

Oh, let me clarify, I am not just kidding, I am not a big V-star, there is no money to be made by kidding... It's just that I have been busy again recently. Our school time has just been changed to 10:30 in the evening, and it will take more than ten minutes, and the amount of homework has also increased... I wrote this speech because I was afraid that the quality would not be up to standard.

Let me talk about the difficulties I encountered when writing this chapter.

First of all...someone sent me a private message saying that I can’t write with the original feeling...is that true?

I admit that since I was writing the first chapter for the first time, I didn't pay much attention to the plot. It was a bit loose and influenced by the Monogatari series. It looked immature, but it was still quite interesting. Also, since there weren't many readers at the time, updates were usually one chapter per week, and the word count ranged from 2,000 to 5,000. I wrote it completely on inspiration, and since I had plenty of free time after school, I was able to think about the plot, so the content of the first chapter seems very substantial.

As for the second chapter, it is mostly adapted from my own experiences and the experiences of others. Because there is material and it is adapted from a real story, it seems more touching.

It touches on human nature and desire, which is why some people find it wonderful, but it is not often mentioned later... After all, this is a light-hearted novel...

Chapter 3 Ah...

To be honest, I had thought of the final plot of this chapter from the very beginning, but when I started writing, I lacked the conflicts, events and characters that would cause the conflicts.

Luckily, a guy I knew was following my novel at the time, and when I was at my wit's end, he suggested that I read "Tearing is Healthier"... Well, so the Lin sisters started tearing... What a sin, what a sin...

But as soon as I thought about it, I got inspiration and wrote to the end in one breath.

So, I personally feel the most fulfilling when I read the third chapter.

By the way, I actually wrote a complete version of the lyrics, but... after accidentally deleting it, I was too lazy to write it again, so only those few lines appeared in the article.

The special episodes that followed were completely written by me... because my Spring Festival wasn't that bizarre at all...

As for the extra chapters... I can only say that because each one was written at a different time, the quality seems uneven, and the subject matter is wide-ranging... Some people have asked me if I'm going to continue writing... So which one are you interested in? I'll see if it's the same as what I thought of. If they are the same... I can continue writing.

Then... this chapter was completely thought out by me, without any suggestions from anyone, so the content may not be as full as the previous chapters, and the plot may not be very tight... but I will still try my best.

That’s it for now. I hope that after you understand it, you can give me your opinions. I will consider them and make the following plot more perfect.

Speaking of which... My short essay contest is out now, so you should check it out... Please give it a like~

Regarding the short story, without any criticism or exaggeration, I think the plot is quite good, and it mentions some social phenomena. So even though social novels are not very popular, I still submitted it in the social category.

If you've made it this far, you absolutely must read this. I promise you won't suffer any loss. Just think of it as me not updating today, and giving you a 10,000-word extra chapter instead...

What... you don't know where my short story is? Okay, back out now...

Wait! Wait! How do you find out if you quit?

Let me tell you, if you scroll down the page of my book, you will see all the works of this author. The one called "Sinner" is... just these two words. Don't click on other people's books. Of course... you can also search for these two words.

But just two words are enough, because the core of this story is the sinner...both the criminals in urban legends and the people in this city.

So, how exciting is it? Go watch it, even if you don't think it's good, I can still accept the criticism.

By the way, does anyone still remember that I said in July that I would "submit a short story soon"...but I uploaded the short story four days ago...hahahaha.

I have to sigh how time flies. I always thought, "There are still a few months left, no rush," and then October came in the blink of an eye, and I immediately stopped submitting... It's like saying to myself "sleep for five more minutes" in the morning and then sleeping the whole morning. It's so scary...

Yes, don't guess, I've been there.

So, I've used my own experience to prove to you that you should never indulge yourself, and I told you right away that I'm too great...

Come to think of it... I've noticed that my books can be found on many novel apps... Could it be that I'm already so famous that someone is copying my books? It really makes me a little excited when I think about it...

For something as commonplace as this, it's best for a novice like me to keep quiet... I'm actually enjoying the same treatment as the big guys, I'm really excited haha... Uh... well... this... doesn't seem right... Should I call the police?

But after asking a few big guys, they said they are used to it... As expected, they are big guys, their mentality is so calm, they need to take out their notebooks to learn a wave of mentality, and everyone should learn it quickly. Come, take notes with me:

Don't pay attention to things that everyone is used to, even if they are unreasonable.

This is a word that cannot be conveyed

It's a new day again... I kind of hope this day won't come.

As for the reason... that's it...

"Um...."

I glanced at the clock and saw that class was about to start in two minutes.

Please wait a moment.

I didn't feel nervous about being late because I knew what would happen after class, so I wasn't in a hurry.

Thinking of this, I looked towards the breakfast shop on the roadside and pondered a big problem in life.

What to eat for breakfast...

......................

"Hmm..." This bun is so hot... I walked a long way with it before I started eating it...

It's been ten minutes since class started. I'm standing at the school gate, but I'm not in a hurry to go in because it's not the right time yet. I have to wait... until she leaves.

"I'm still not good at dealing with that kind of situation..."

They're all like that... What's the point of being sad... It's boring, isn't it?

"But..." I glanced at the still clear sky.

I feel really sad...

Well, just to a slight extent.

Chapter 16: These are words that cannot be conveyed

"Aren't you a little late? I thought you had a cold or a fever or something, and was just about to call your parents."

Brother Nan continued to talk to me as usual.

"Oh..." I answered absentmindedly.

As I uttered these words, I realized how cold my tone was... but it doesn't matter.

She must be kidding.

"So, what's the reason?"
