Afterword
It’s me, the author, Carlo Zen. Long time no see.
I honestly don’t spend much time worrying about word counts on a day-to-day basis, but due to page considerations and whatnot, I was actually quite restricted this time around, so you’ll have to forgive me.
In any case, I’ll try to squeeze in as much as I can of what I want to say. First off, to everyone reading, thank you.
Thank you all so much for waiting so many years for a new volume. It genuinely makes me so incredibly happy that people still want to see more of a series that hasn’t been published for such a long time.
These are inconceivable times and inconceivable developments in which we are living, but I hope I can continue to work on The Saga of Tanya the Evil until its end and that everyone will enjoy it.
The world continues to change at dizzying speed, but I pray for everyone’s good health.
I received amazing support from so many people in creating this book, and I would like to take this moment to say thank you all once again.
As for Part II, which I’m sure you’re all worried about: As I feel sincere remorse over taking a little over three years to publish this volume and still recall my once-legendary feat of serial February publishing, this time, instead of Serial February, I’m aiming for Serial Months. That’s right, Part II is already scheduled to be published next month.
And since it’s never too late to mend old ways, we’ll be making all sorts of revolutionary and innovative improvements in order to maintain this two-month commitment and avoid falling back into my old tradition of late publishing. Or to translate this kind of roundabout expression so often used in public announcements, I’ll try to get stuff out as quick as possible in the future, but I can’t promise anything. We’ll do what we can, okay?
And now I am almost at the end of my word count.
Word-count restrictions are very serious business, so I can’t go on much longer, but just know that I am always scheming for new ways to thoroughly exceed them.
Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you next time.
August 2023, Carlo Zen
