Chapter 42 postscript

The one inescapable thing that happens to everyone who begins to write a novel is finishing it.Maybe people will think "what are you talking about for granted", but it is actually very difficult.For example, when writing, there will be a lot of scrutiny, but when I am looking at my original manuscript and making detailed corrections, I will gradually want to make medium-range revisions, then want to make large-scale revisions, and finally even evolve into " Rather than modifying these places, it is faster to rewrite the whole" such a large-scale modification.Every time the tortoise is deliberating on Achilles, the tortoise will go first, and the distance between the tortoise and the tortoise will be infinitely shortened, and the novel will never be finished; when the editor calls and roars angrily, the writer answers "Zeno's paradox..." It will make the editor even more angry.

In short, just because there is no single correct answer in the novel, once you start to get confused, you can stay confused forever.In the trouble and confusion, we can only believe that the answer we choose is the correct answer and keep writing.The novel does not have an answer, which is something even a child can understand to some extent. But what if there is, in fact, only one correct answer? Among mystery novels, science fiction novels, fantasy novels, horror novels, historical novels, romance novels, erotic novels, novels combining these genres, and novels other than these genres, which one is the most interesting?What if there is a correct answer to this question that no one can answer?

What kind of novel is the "answer to the novel" that exists in front of that question? The novelist who appeared in this book might be looking at that answer. The smooth publication of this book is all thanks to the help of many noble people. I would like to thank Takaaki Yuasa, the competent beauty editor who is exactly the same as Ms. Fu Baizhisakuko, Tomoyuki Tsuchiya, the editor of the universal beauty girl, BEE-PEE who designed the cover, and many other noble people. Finally, I would like to express my 120,000 apologies to all readers for not being "the most interesting novel in the world".
