## Chapter 217 – Final Thoughts
1. Final Thoughts
Starting last summer with my first work that concluded in 50 chapters, and then my second work that ended in 100 chapters,
I have finally completed my third work, which I consider to be a relatively long series.
In fact, after finishing those two works, I really struggled with whether or not to write another one.
I had taken a leave of absence from university, which I had barely managed to enter, due to health and military service issues,
and even after publishing those two works, there was no sign of those problems being resolved.
Then, by chance, I found out about the New Work Challenge,
and I thought I would give it one last try.
I diligently observed how other works were being presented,
and I even created illustrations with the help of AI to make it more enjoyable for readers.
Actually, I think a lot of people came to see the illustrations more than the writing itself.
It’s true that I received more attention and love than I deserved because of that.
Knowing that, I think I spent a lot of time thinking about how to better integrate the illustrations with the writing,
or how to make the illustrations even prettier and sexier.
Even after starting the serialization, I referred to various opinions from readers and other materials,
and continued with the goal of maintaining the daily release schedule as much as possible.
As I built it up piece by piece, I had passed 200 chapters before I knew it,
and the number of cover and insert illustrations had piled up to nearly hundreds.
As time went by, the story of the mind-control villain was able to come to an end like this,
and thanks to the excessive love and attention you gave me, I had a truly happy year.
To all of you who have loved such an inadequate person as myself,
I can’t express my gratitude enough, no matter how many times I say thank you.
2. Regarding Side Stories
In fact, there are still a few stories that haven’t been fully explored.
For example, Jia, who has completely fallen from grace, Luna, who has regained consciousness and recovered her body,
and the Wind Trooper who is working as the Secretary-General.
And as the story progressed, there was the issue of adjusting the importance of the heroines,
so I still have a lot of desire to write erotic stories featuring each heroine as the main character.
There’s the heroines in their wedding dresses, or the image of them all being pregnant and happy together,
and above all, there are still plays that I haven’t shown you yet.
So, as I mentioned before, I’m planning to write side stories after the main story is finished!
I couldn’t write side stories after finishing my previous work because I didn’t have the time,
but now I have a lot of time left before I enter training camp at the end of March, haha…
After taking a sufficient rest from today until next week and thinking about what kind of content to show you,
I plan to resume serialization with side stories again from January 20th.
I’m not sure how long the side stories will be,
but I think it will be about 20 to 30 chapters.
I would like to express my infinite gratitude to everyone who has loved ‘Surviving as a Mind-Control Villain in a Hero World’ so far,
and I, Squid Carbonic Acid, promise to leave your side for a while and then come back!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
