chapter 201
This is the author’s review. (This is a long sentence.)
hello.
I would like to say hello to all the precious readers who have read my article so far.
As of today, the work “I picked up a witch suffering from amnesia” has come to an end.
It’s what I feel every time I finish a novel, but it must be that my heart is pounding every time I finish it. There must be many reasons for the pounding of the heart, but the biggest reason is that I have seen the end.
The fact that I was able to write a novel to the end according to the initial plot is because I was able to finish it relatively smoothly, and above all, many readers who read this article are a great disprove.
This article, which started on January 16th, ended with 200 episodes after a journey of about half a year. When I started the serialization of this article, I guessed that it would be completed around the 200th episode, but if my thoughts fit so well, I’m even a little happy. This is especially so when considering the fact that due to unforeseen circumstances in the middle, we did not have to take the year off.
I picked up a witch with amnesia, abbreviated as the witch with amnesia, seems to be a work that gives me a lot of emotions. This is because I had so many regrets and reflections while writing this piece. If I had written this part better, if I hadn’t developed this part this way, if I had changed the setting of this part a little… and so on.
It’s a bit of a pathetic story, but I’d like to talk about the time when I conceived the work of the amnesia witch.
The first narrative I conceived was inspired by none other than ‘Misery’. I think that all readers are probably aware of which part is similar, so I will omit detailed comments related to it.
However, as a result, all of the parts derived from ‘Misery’ had to be modified except for the shell, or many of the planned episodes had to be cut out. It was for this reason that the entire front end related to Bianca was redacted. It is because Bianca made the judgment that if Cain is deceived to the end for her love, the end of the two will inevitably face misfortune.
That’s why I gave up the narrative that was originally composed, and tried to give symbolism and stories to each woman through regression, which was a device.
Bianca is a woman obsessed with the past. She was saved through her memories of Cain, and she has never had a connection with him. So Bianca is, in a sense, a woman living in the past. I long for him in the present in order to complete his beautiful past as it is.
Iris is a woman living in the present. She is also Cain’s swordsmanship teacher. She also falls in love with him because of what happened before the return, but she is not obsessed with the past like Bianca. Because I was fascinated by the person named Cain himself. She is an active woman who approaches him first than anyone else because she lives in the present and wants to be with him at this moment.
Ariel is a woman living in the future. In the future yet to come, they got married and had children. And Ariel has no choice but to be obsessed with it, knowing full well that it is the past and the future. Because the happy future with him was the future he dreamed of.
From the beginning, Kyrie was the central figure who would lead the story and acted as an advisor at the same time. And at the same time, she was the unlucky woman who had to play the villain in this novel where there is no villain.
In fact, rather than having Kyrie play the villain, I thought a lot about whether or not to cast a clear villain. In the beginning, I also sprinkled various foreshadowings for him.
But no matter how much I thought about it, the probability was messed up. In terms of fighting power, Arya is the strongest, and if four other women gather, it can match that Arya, but now the fact that a different villain suddenly pops up seemed rather nonsensical. There was such power, but it seemed implausible no matter how much I looked at it that it would stay still until the world was destroyed and then suddenly emerge and block Cain’s way in this life.
Now that I think about it, I think I did something really bad to Kyrie. At least I couldn’t even give you an illustration, so the novel ended…
Arya was the last woman standing at the end of the story. She looks confident in her actions, but in fact, she was created with the image of a woman waiting for a hero to overcome the crisis more than anyone else. Also, like Hester in 「Tess」 or 「The Scarlet Letter」, I tried to portray a woman who is persecuted and suffering.
And while composing the character, I had a lot of greed in my own way. Women like Ariana Kyrie did not function as simple devices and accessories of the story, but attempted to portray three-dimensional people as if they were really alive and breathing.
That’s why I put a lot of three-dimensional elements. I intentionally put likes and dislikes into the characters on purpose, and at the end, I tried to portray how the characters gain big and small enlightenment and take a step forward mentally. I’m also not sure if it worked out the way I wanted, or if the readers accepted it as a character with a direction they couldn’t understand at all. However, I want you to know that I wrote with the hope of such an intention… It is up to the readers to breathe life into this article and make judgments.
Lastly, speaking of Sarah, I can only say that she has become a very painful finger for me.
Throughout the second half of the story about her, I thought a lot. As to whether I’m really on the right track, wouldn’t it be better to go back to the original plot now that it’s not too late?
I wanted to look at the reaction, but it was also not possible to look at the reaction because of my poor health recently. Then, I accidentally saw the impression that the character Sara was unpleasant, and I was shaken a lot. I don’t know anything else, but it’s because I thought I didn’t want my novel to remain offensive to someone else.
Since I posted the notice that day, I have been editing the front part step by step, and the paragraph about the correction has been caught to some extent.
1. I’m thinking of changing it to the fact that Sarah was engaged to Lucian, not married.
2. We plan to delete all descriptions of her having contact with other men. In addition to that, all the parts connected to this are also planned to be modified.
3. Sarah’s psychological portrayal of Cain before returning and her actions resulting from it are also planned to be partially modified.
After counting the parts to be modified, I decided that about 50 episodes would be changed. Accordingly, it seems that it will take quite a while to fix. If it’s early, I can finish all the modifications tomorrow, but I’m thinking that it will take about a week if it takes a long time.
If you finish all the modifications, I’m thinking of writing that fact as a notice and moving this work to the Finished tab. So for the time being, I won’t be in the finale box, so I want to make it clear in advance that it’s not because I’m lazy at all.
I would like to apologize in advance to the readers for the fact that I am suddenly revising what I have seen so far. This is just my self-satisfaction. In the future, when a reader looks back on the work called ‘The Witch with Amnesia’, I would really appreciate it if you think of it as my futile struggle to think of it as an enjoyable journey.
Finally, I actually wanted to write a side story. In particular, during the serialization process, I promised to insert 19 gold scenes of women including Aria, so I made a plan to write a 19 gold aiden with such content. Like other works, after the main story is over, the characters’ happy appearances are portrayed as a side story.
But I’m really sorry, my current health condition is really bad. I ran hard with the determination to finish it somehow, but the condition of my eyes has not improved at all compared to 10 days ago. According to the doctor’s opinion, no matter how bad it is, it is a state of judgment that you should give your right eye a break for about two months.
So, unfortunately, ‘The Witch with Amnesia’ wants to end here. I promised to write the 19th gold scene of Aria someday, but I would like to say that I am really sorry for not being able to keep that promise. I’m really sorry…
For about 7 months, I have been serializing the work called Amnesia Witch, and not only good things have happened. Sometimes it was very difficult, exhausting, and I had many thoughts of quitting, but it was all thanks to the readers who loved and cared for this article that I was able to overcome all of that and finish the race to the end.
There are still a lot of things I want to say, but I’ll cut it short here. Lastly, there is only one thing I would like to say to the readers.
Thank you for loving ‘The Witch with Amnesia’ so far, and thank you for reading.
I sincerely pray that all readers will be filled with happiness and good luck.
And I love you. That’s a lot too.
Thank you for reading my long review until the end.
thank you
