Final Thoughts~

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Chenan, the male protagonist of this book.

In the past few months of serialization, I've accompanied you through quite a bit of time. Thank you for clicking into this book to take a glimpse into my life.

Although the book says I travel between the fictional world and the real world, in reality, I just moved from fictional world A to fictional world B. The real world you live in is something I can never reach.

In fictional world A, I played a despicable villain, but deep down, I never thought that was right.

Selfishness and self-interest shouldn't be what everyone aspires to; helping each other is the true meaning of being human.

The events in our world have temporarily come to a close, but this is not the end.

In places you can't see, we will continue to move forward. As I mentioned before, I will grow old with Qianmo and the others, eventually die, be forgotten, and fade away.

Someday in the distant future, perhaps you'll remember the scumbag villain Gu Chenan from Donghai. You might find that our world suddenly seems more vivid.

You'll wonder what happened to us during this unseen period.

Honestly, that's enough for me.

While I've been accompanying you, you've also been accompanying me. Without your support, our world might have already come to a halt.

I'm truly grateful to all of you. There are no words to express my gratitude.

I also want to apologize to those who called me a coward or a 'tJ' (abrupt ending).

In the future, even without your company, I will continue to move forward with determination.

Finally, I won't say any formal goodbyes. I'm not good at being polite. I just hope you all can become the people you want to be. The end, time to clock out!"

......

"Clocking out... you really can't wait a second, can you...

*cough cough* Hello everyone, I'm Su Qianmo.

Don't let my ice queen appearance in the novel fool you; deep down, I'm quite passionate.

This cold exterior often makes people keep their distance, which isn't an advantage for me, nor is it for anyone.

Being cold doesn't make you look cool; it just makes people think you're gloomy. Those who want to get close to you will hesitate and eventually walk away.

This might not be noticeable to younger people, but once you step out of school and into society, a gloomy personality can cost you many opportunities.

So, I want to say, be a sunny person, be a happy person.

Goodbye everyone.

Chenan, wait for me!"

......

"What the heck, Chenan, Qianmo, what are you two sneaking off to do!

Huh? Is it my turn now?

Uh, hi, I'm Bai Yutian, your sweet little Yutian.

Nothing much to say, just wanted to let you know, Bai Yutian is the cutest in the world, heehee.

Gotta go, bye bye."

......

"Hello everyone, I'm Liu Mingrui.

Although Chenan and I are childhood friends, he doesn't remember me at all.

Not only does he not care for me, but if he even pays a little attention to me, I'd be overjoyed.

*cough cough* Anyway, that's enough about that.

Fiction is fiction, reality is reality. I wish everyone in the real world can follow their hearts and move forward without hesitation.

We're leaving now, Chenan, Qianmo, and Yutian are waiting for me outside. Gotta go, bye!"

......

"Uh... so fast?

Hello everyone, I'm Hua Yinjiang.

A girl who loves life, a girl full of passion for life... uh, can't think of anything else.

Anyway, I hope everyone can be with the person they like.

That's all."

......

"Hello everyone, I'm Tang.

Ummmmm, do some exercise, we need to cultivate our minds and build strong bodies.

If you encounter any emergencies, at least you'll have the ability to handle them, right?

Uh... ancient martial arts do exist, but not in the over-the-top way described in novels... ah, my logic is all over the place.

I don't want it to end like this, my screen time is way too little!

Why does Chenan have individual romance scenes with all the other female leads, but not with me?!

It's not fair, rewrite, rewrite!"

......

"Quick, get Tang out of here, she's about to bite someone!

Huh, is it my turn?

Hello everyone, I'm Yuanyuan, ugh~ so awkward.

You, you're not allowed to look at my cosplay photos, and... don't stay at home playing games all day. Go out and walk around with your friends, even if it's just around your neighborhood. It's better than staying at home all day playing games.

Look at me, back in the day, I was a legend in Summoner's Rift, and now I've stopped playing too.

What?

It's not because I got bad, okay!

Ugh, I'm done talking!"

......

"Tang thinks it's unfair? My screen time is the least, okay?"

"I can't believe it, what's this? They call me a female lead, but I have less screen time than Yuanyuan, who's a supporting character, okay?"

"Even in the main story, my scenes are just a few chapters, and I only got brought back from fictional world A in the extras. I'm so done with this.

What, did I say everything?

Ah? It's already my turn?!

*cough cough* Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yajie, uh, nothing much to say, I've already complained enough.

I wish everyone can be the center of attention in their own lives."

......

"What, do I have to say something too?

I don't think the audience likes hearing me talk...

*cough cough* Hello everyone, I'm Ma Bing.

Ummm, if anyone encounters any danger, you can always come to me, I'll definitely help you.

Huh? Not the same world?

Oh right, right, my bad.

Then I wish everyone good luck, I really can't talk, they forced me to speak..."

......

Hello everyone, I'm the Author.

Watching Gu Chenan and the others walk away, I had a thousand words I wanted to say, but sitting in front of the computer, I thought for a long time.

There's a saying that goes, "Words belong to the author, but the story belongs to the reader."

In a thousand people's eyes, there are a thousand Hamlets.

Perhaps everyone who reads this story will have different insights, and the images of Gu Chenan, Su Qianmo, and others in your minds may vary, but I believe that those of you who have reached this point must like this story.

Honestly, when the initial performance of this book came out, I once wanted to cut it.

20 yuan.

Yes, that's right, 120,000 words, earning 20 yuan.

Feelings of disappointment, frustration, and self-doubt kept surfacing.

In the end, I asked the editor, and he encouraged me, saying, "The data for this book is good, keep writing and see."

Maybe you think that such a casual remark is also encouragement?

But for someone who is sinking in the mire and about to drown, even the sound of someone talking nearby can make you feel saved.

That sentence was like a ray of sunlight piercing through the heavy clouds, giving me enough confidence to keep writing.

After that, the word count gradually increased, and so did the readers.

Encouragement and criticism also grew.

Really, for a book that was on the verge of being abandoned, even criticism is a great comfort.

Because it proves that someone read your book.

I don't know why I wrote so much.

Maybe I just didn't want to type the words "The End."

This book has many immature aspects. At the time, I didn't notice them, but when I look back now, I see many areas that could be improved.

I won't list them all.

The Author is going to start a new book soon, and I've already written the beginning.

Of course, the main character is still Gu Chenan. Although the female leads are not named Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui, I believe you can recognize them based on their personalities and behaviors.

It's not that the Author doesn't want these female leads to appear; it's just that the new book is in the fantasy genre, so the naming style of the female leads has to follow the fantasy style.

But I firmly believe that as soon as they appear, readers will recognize their true identities.

Alright, after saying so much, it's time for me to say some farewell words.

The Author is just one of the masses, not someone who can or deserves to say profound things.

I just wish everyone peace and safety.

Isn't that the most important thing?

The road of life is long; we'll meet again."

Thank you all for your companionship, your encouragement, and your gifts.

Author is truly, truly, truly deeply grateful.

Farewell~
