I just want to be lazy, I was forced to become Hokage - Chapter 613

c-1 Final words

“I just wanted to be lazy and was forced to become Hokage” is over.

I started writing the book last year, and as of today, it has taken 288 days and 1.7 million words.

It may be a little hard to believe.

If you average this number of words and the number of days, this book actually maintains a daily update rate of 6,000.

how to say?

It’s quite outrageous.

Because this book has been updated at a rate of two to four thousand updates a day for several months…

In the month it was first released, 380,000 words were updated in one month.

Even the second month had a total of 240,000 words updated.

Then in August, everything changed, and we started updating twice a day…

Writing “Lazy Naruto” made me very tired.

Because in the second month after it was released, subscriptions were suddenly cut in half.

At that time, I was completely unprepared mentally and was blinded all of a sudden.

Nothing like this has ever happened before, whether it was “One Piece” or “Back to Justice”.

As a result, when “Lazy Naruto” reached more than 200 chapters, subscriptions were suddenly cut in half.

Cut in half…

Enthusiasm for updates was suddenly dealt a devastating blow.

In terms of grades.

“Lazy Naruto” is okay.

Not to mention getting the [Premium Badge].

When the last chapter was released, the average subscription remained at more than 2,500, and it did not fall too far.

This should be the greatest relief.

Anyway.

First, I would like to sincerely apologize to every book friend here!

▄██●! ! ! (bang bang bang bang)

The key is not to update twice a day. The key is that the update is too late every day and there is no stable time.

And “Lazy Naruto” was indeed not written well.

actually.

I have been solo since August.

I didn’t read the comments, I didn’t read the group chat, I was just playing alone silently, and I didn’t communicate with other people.

This is a very broken and autistic writing state.

By the end of “Lazy Naruto”, my brain was almost completely rigid, and the content of the book was also very rigid.

It feels like my entire creative level has plummeted.

feeling bad.

actually.

The original idea for “Lazy Naruto” was that I wanted to write a story about Nara Naruto.

There were two things that touched me the most at first.

One is [Shadow Escape] – although [Shadow Escape] is also not well written.

The other one is Uzuki no Hana Retsu’s Umikaze – all gone.

When the passion for writing is high.

I have imagined this scene more than once:

Nara Langui stood on the battlefield, holding a chakra knife made of [Shadow Escape] in his hand. When his palm wiped the blade, the black shadow slid down like grease until it spread across the entire field, forming a A black sea of ​​shadows.

Then… there is no more.

The idea of ​​chakra weapons appeared, but not fully realized.

The collapse of subscriptions.

This is the root cause of the disappearance of creative enthusiasm.

in addition.

There is another reason.

It was Nara Langui who did not follow my outline.

Actually, in the original outline, I wanted to extend the story line and tell more stories about ninjas.

But Nara Langui’s character destined him not to have the idea of ​​”living” for a longer period of time.

Lazyness is actually not Nara Langui’s fundamental character.

His most fundamental character is energy conservation.

This was mentioned early on.

[Don’t do things you don’t have to do, and keep things simple when you have to do them. 】

This leads to a very serious problem.

The author wants to extend the timeline of the story.

The protagonist wants to destroy all enemies as quickly as possible.

Not much to say about the previous opponents.

Orochimaru, Uchiha Madara, Nagato, Black Zetsu.

In fact, they are all pre-set villains.

But Nara Langui strangled the [Reincarnation Eye] to death, which made it impossible for everyone to increase their upper limit of strength.

Thus.

Only Nara Langui’s family is the only one.

If this story is written later, it will be transferred to daily life or a running account.

At once.

it’s painful.

Really bald.

There are many other issues.

but.

It seems that I have said a bit too much…

well.

“Lazy Naruto” is finished, and the number of updates it still owes is [44].

I will keep these in mind.

I’ll return it when I get the next book.

in addition.

There may be some extras later.

Or maybe not.

If extra update.

It will also be included in the scope of debt repayment.

About the next book.

I don’t plan to continue writing about Naruto.

I don’t really want to turn back to being a pirate.

The recent plot of One Piece was also very painful for me to watch.

I originally thought that the plot of Wano Country was already heavy enough.

Unexpectedly, Xiong and Dolag were more exaggerated.

well.

The next book will be an original one.

The specific content will be discussed when the first chapter is released.

However, it will take at least one to two months to rest.

“Lazy Naruto” came to an unsatisfactory end.

The ninja world is treacherous and life is difficult.

I apologize to everyone again.

I sincerely thank every reader and book lover who supports this book.

Isn’t it better to exchange information with the big guys?

at last.

At the end of the year and the New Year, I wish you all a happy New Year.
