Around a month or two, I think. I got the idea to start writing during an exam at the end of the semester and then started looking through the web and asking my former English teacher for help on tenses and overall narration. Then, the story went public at the start of July 2020.

Dunno. I never planned to even split the series into volumes or anything. I just started writing and was like "Welp. It's a webnovel, isn't it? I'll just write and see where it goes." and then somehow around the 40th chapter I realized I accidentally made it so that it can be almost perfectly split into two volumes with a similar number of chapters. So if you ask me how many more are planned, I don't know. There's a lot of stuff I want in this story so quite a few. I do have an ending in my mind since the start though. But there are insane amounts of lore to be still revealed to even get close to that.

You can always check it here. Feel free to contribute to that number, wink wink. My goal during my studies was to reach 1.5k$ and we almost did it. Now, I will be aiming for 3k in a year after I graduate or I will be going for an actual job.

Yes, every week ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm having a blast since the very beginning and the hype train is not fucking stopping, going full speed with no brakes. I have a lot of fun thinking about what to do next and also just sitting down and writing the chapters.

I'm afraid the bench would press me, hahaha. No joke, I'm a stick.

Oh damn. That's fucking hard. Heh. Hmmmm... I don't really know... I don't think I have one, but I guess Blue Core had some influence on me, although the lewds are very sporadical. But well, BIAW also doesn't have constant lewds. I really don't know. I guess Dual Cultivation is decent-ish. The one at WebNovel. It all also depends on how you define ero novel. If it's any novel with some lewds or if the lewds are more often than not. I guess the latter. So, I really don't know.

Ufufufu~ I'm afraid it's not that simple. I currently don't possess a physical body or any vessel. I'm not saying that it's something impossible, but a lot of steps are necessary to make it happen. I can't just descend into the world or pull a person from it and that's why I've been communicating with Alastair through his soul. Also, demigods can be quite volatile for the world. Honestly, I'm still having flashbacks of the F͉̭͉͍̘ͮ̏͒̇͟s̶̬̺̦̙̩̘̲̑ͅh͚̩̹͇̘̔̾͢ț̢̰̭͈̎ͨ̃ ̪̻̜́͡E͇̮͙͍̗͕̮̓ͫ͆͋͞h̴̰̙͈̀̀ͤa͕̮̞̭̠̍̀̚.

You are not supposed to hear about that yet! No worries. I can quickly tweak your memories to forget this. There! All done! Damn, I almost made it worse again, cough. Yeah, it's really hard, but who knows, hahaha.

What? Why would I even be disappointed in sensei's store? I'm sure he is doing his best as always. I can't wait to see what he is up to. Definitely nothing shady so there's no way I would be disappointed. Sensei would never do any shady stuff.

I'm not hiding anywhere. Why would I hide? I definitely don't have a reason to hide. Who told you I hide? But the library is very nice and calm. And the books are warm.

My family's most famous invention is a magical cube that can envelop a whole castle in an almost impenetrable barrier for over a week. It requires twelve powerful magicians to operate it, but it could stop countless Tier 7 and 8 spells and abilities without breaking a sweat, back in the days of the Great War. I know it's almost impossible to trump that, but my grand-grand-father always kept telling me the greatest artifacts start as nothing more but unachievable dreams. Therefore, I want to make a miniature version of that shield. For personal use. It's actually not that easy to do. Even with much smaller coverage, the energy consumption would require at least 3 people. But, it's not completely impossible.

There are so many places we could go together~ I know of an amazing hidden fairy spring he would definitely love to see. But I would be fine with any destination as long as we could travel and explore together. Oh. Now that I think of it, we could pay a little visit to our old settlement.  I can already imagine Nurum's face when I come back in perfect shape with a Human by my side~ And then I would have Alastair kiss me in front of him~ And then he would sensually roam his hands all around my body~ And then he would strip me and take me in the middle of the village as Nurum watches and slowly descends into despair~ Oh, I so wonder how he would look knowing that the very object of his twisted desire has been taken away from him by a mere Human~ Fufufufufu~ Oh my. Did I say that out loud? No, I didn't~

Well, that certainly was surprising. I was a bit confused when I heard about the whole thing from Ross, but I've already learned that it's wrong to judge Alastair solely on what's visible on the surface after the year we've spent together. During that year, the initial curiosity turned into something... different and new. More than coming back to my lab, I was looking forward to our meeting and soon, I've realized that the place I want to be is by his side. I didn't know the whole picture back when I offered to help, but I knew nothing would have changed when it came to who he was. Even back at the castle, I've already known there are individuals looking very favourably towards him, especially that one girl from his group. And after I realized what kind of person Al is, I was sure he would have a hard time rejecting a girl that came to him with pure kindness and love, most likely trying to overexert himself to make everyone happy. Thus, I decided that he needs someone who can help him push through that hesitation. Harems are quite common in noble circles. Happy harems are a different case, but I believe he can achieve it. If not alone, then with my help. That's what love is. To do everything you can to help the person that takes the most cherished spot in your heart, putting their happiness as your first priority. I realized that very late, but fortunately, still in time to follow him.

It's almost impossible to say. I can tell that he is very considerate of us, who he already accepted, and is avoiding accidentally making other girls fall for him, which is kind of hard with his way of being. But, I'm sure the core circle won't grow to some unimaginable number. There's me, Sirgia, Elea and Neira so far. Who knows.

So far, there was no one that proved to be any problematic. Al has a lot of luck when it comes to people. And we shouldn't forget his natural charm and kind personality. It really helped a lot to properly introduce everyone to our small family. Obviously, we all do have differences but they aren't that strong to end up in serious conflicts. But, if I were to pick one person I still don't feel too good about, it definitely would be Astrea. After our initial talk, she barely shows herself in front of anyone, disappearing after she finishes eating. I can't wrap my head around her motives. If she wanted to observe him, she already had plenty of time to do that. Something is definitely up. Call that woman's intuition.

W-what?! I am obviously curious about that, but... I'm still young! There are so many things I have to research still and that requires all the focus! I can't become a mother yet! But... If he asked... then maybe... No! It's too early! We need to grow the business before that! Yes! Definitely!

Fufufu~ I should at least take a peek at that idea of his, no? How could I recommend it to others without verifying the quality first~ And I'm sure Alastair wouldn't mind explaining his various inventions in detail. Perhaps with a little demonstration too~

It's her own fault for never paying attention to any men. She has broken the hearts of many without even being aware of it, sigh... I had no other choice than to teach her how good it feels with someone else rather than just by herself~ Unfortunately... it had no effect... But, she at least didn't show any signs of being against a little fun now and then~

What? That would be awkward... But well... Technically... Nevertheless, he really should stop being such a spoilsport and just take Mother! I'm not saying they need to have kids! She likes him so where's the problem? I know she isn't really against the idea of remarrying and she looks as happy around him as she was with Father! And they haven't even done anything yet! Or at least that's what they say. Just you wait. I'll definitely make the two of you stop holding back.

The world is vast and filled with many bigger and smaller kingdoms inside the territories of many races. The most split one, similar to Humans, is the race of Dwarves. Usually, the oldest and most respectable clan rules over a city while the other, smaller ones just reside there. There's no single King of Dwarves. We also already know about Dark Elves and how they usually stick to their own, small communities. Similar can be said about Wood Elves and the unfortunate Abyssal Elves who are sometimes blamed for the current calamity. They are harder to find due to their cities being mostly underground. High Elves actually live amongst the demonic races due to both sides being quite versed in magic. It's actually something quite peculiar as many demonic races tend to be a little straightforward which leads to some occasional conflicts with the noble elves, but they always settle down somehow. We will learn about many great places soon in the next volumes.

They did. Now, who knows ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The topic of male employees will be touched upon in the next volume, but I don't think Al will be ever starting a male brothel. He has a different idea to cover that market niche ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Soon™ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not sure. Maybe as a bonus chapter for Patreon someday. I have a lot of the main story to cover and not enough time for side stuff.

The world is full of various monstergirls ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Volume 4 will answer that.

Not high but not zero. Maybe he'll get together with some princess from another race? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Perhaps ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I don't think they are any close to solving the Calamity, but the next two chapters might bring some new light to the topic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If they are still alive then maybe.

I don't think so. I've stated in the description and many times in the comments that we'll be exploring mostly the fun things of MC and the girls, without external parties involved. I have enough ideas for a way into the future and also I'm fairly sure involving random people in his fun time wouldn't sit right with many people.
