LIGHTNOVELONLINE Book 7: Chapter Aft
Afterword
It’s been a while. It’s me, Toru Toba.
Thank you for picking up The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?), Volume 7.
You might have guessed the theme of this volume was a rematch! The story picks up from Volume 4, featuring the biggest players in the Empire, including Princess Lowellmina, all caught up in their own schemes. I hope you enjoyed watching Wein get knocked down and get back up again.
I’ve been really thinking about the growing popularity of e-books. I imagine many of you are reading this series on your devices. I’ve been reading more e-books, too, but I’ve been thinking about reference books. There aren’t too many of them in e-book format, compared to manga and light s. I like having the physical copy in front of me, so I can flip through to the page that I need…but the biggest issue is the problem with space.
When I think about how a tablet can store up to hundreds, even thousands, of books, it makes me hyperaware of the size of my physical collection… I wonder if we’ll have more reference books in e-book form as we keep moving toward digital mediums.
It’s now time to give my acknowledgments.
To my editor, Ohara, I’m sorry for causing you grief again for missing the deadline. I know I can’t keep doing this, so I want to improve the speed at which I write… I really do…
To the illustrator, Falmaro. Thank you for your beautiful illustrations. I love that the characters seem so lively, of course, and I always marvel at the detail that you put into scenery and props! And that rack! We missed those boobs!
To all my readers, I can’t thank you enough. Your continued support has let me publish more books, even as the world goes through a difficult time. I hope you’ll continue to cheer me on!
The manga adaptation is on the Manga Up! app and illustrated by Emuda. It’s doing really well, and I’m looking forward to working together!
I think the next volume will take us back to the West. We’re starting to get a better picture of all the affairs on this continent. Maybe it’s time for all the Holy Elites to reveal themselves…?
I’m no fortune-teller, but I’m going to work hard to meet your expectations.
Until the next volume!
