Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy

Post-completion Review

Hello, dear readers.

This is Little Fable.

The work, ‘I Got the Academy’s Scam Rune,’ has finally come to an end.

Starting from June 24, 2022, until today, June 27, 2023-.

It concluded exactly 1 year and 3 days later.

I wanted to finish it exactly on the 24th, but… After the main story ended, I felt my own mind relaxing, making it hard to focus on writing. Perhaps because of this, as the conclusion approached, I took more frequent breaks than usual, which is unlike me. (This is why they say it’s better to release side stories irregularly rather than on a fixed schedule.)

Looking back now, I think the most ideal ending for this work would have been after the episode where Hwang Seong-yeon was defeated.

As some readers pointed out, Hwang Seong-yeon was portrayed as the main antagonist in the scam rune story, and he also presented the greatest physical crisis to the protagonist.

Perhaps because of these factors, there were more dramatic scenes in the episode where Hwang Seong-yeon was defeated compared to the episode where the Ludenark school was taken down.

Nevertheless.

The reason I deliberately delayed the ending a bit longer was…

Just as some readers said they couldn’t let go of this work, I too found it difficult to part with it.

The scam rune story was a work I truly cherished and loved.

Perhaps I started it lightly at first.

Thinking, wouldn’t everyone like this kind of subject?

Wouldn’t everyone find this kind of story interesting?

With those thoughts, I began to shape the characters one by one and create the stories.

But as I wrote the work-

And as it received attention from many readers…

I too was able to look at the work a bit more seriously.

To make it more enjoyable for more people.

To ensure that the time readers spend on each episode isn’t wasted.

I thought hard and made efforts.

Sometimes I felt like I was receiving more attention than I deserved, but I gained confidence thinking that it meant readers were enjoying my work that much.

Really.

I was truly grateful.

To the readers reading this review.

To the readers who left halfway through reading the work-.

I want to bow my head in gratitude to everyone.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

It was an overwhelmingly precious moment.

Thanks to the readers, every day was fun and happy.

So much so that I think I’ll never forget those brilliant moments as I live on.

I sincerely hope that my work can hold such deep meaning for the readers as well.

That it becomes a work that you’ll remember one day, thinking, ‘Ah, that story was fun’.

At this moment of finishing the work, I earnestly hope for this.

Thank you once again!

I will carry this infinite gratitude in my heart and return with a new story.

During the serialization of this work…

It was truly an honor to be able to be with you, dear readers.

Always take care of your health, and I hope you have a good day.

See you again.

#Side note

1. Side stories

Although I serialized side stories under the name “Side Story”, they were actually more like epilogues.

The conclusion of the side stories also felt like an extension of the main story’s ending.

So if I end up writing IF side stories or stories about other companions (like juniors or blacksmith friends, etc.), I’ll bring them as free chapters later.

I don’t have any specific stories in mind right now, but someday I might miss the work and write side stories again.

2. Next work

Well… I haven’t written the main story yet, but I’ve more or less finished planning.

This time, I think I’ll return to fantasy rather than historical fiction.

The subject will be… an academy story of a swordsman protagonist seeking romance.

Probably.

Actually, there were many subjects I wanted to write about, but in the end, I thought readers would prefer what I write best.

As for the serialization timing… I was planning to come back as soon as possible anyway, but it seems Nov*lpia is doing some kind of new work event?

So I think July 10th might be the start date for the serialization.

When I start serializing, I’ll come to you with a notice for the new work.

TL/N:

Thank you so much to all the patrons that had supported this novel and also to all the readers.

Anyways, Happy New /ippostranslations
