Disclaimer: this is not an actual chapter!

Um, well, I’ve finally completed the Hell battle arc. I’ve filled in every plotline I created, and Plothole Squirrel has evolved into Hole-filling Squirrel. Congratulations, congratulations.

Cough. This finally ends the second volume. I’m grateful to everyone for supporting me along the way. This novel has finally passed the two million word count as well. This word count has far surpassed my previous writing record by more than two times... As my readers have probably noticed, I didn’t have such an easy time writing all this. I wrote too many plotholes for myself and conflicting storylines, throwing in too many plots together, making it quite difficult for me to write. Every time that I wrote something, I would have to consider whether or not it would conflict with something else I wrote, and whether or not it would influence the overall plotline that I had planned. That was quite the awful feeling.

Fortunately, even though I had severe writer’s block, I still managed to successfully write and finish this arc in the end. I didn’t have anything like a stalled novel or rushed ending that every reader hates to see. Although sometimes when my writer’s block was really bad, I truly did want to do that... Um, I’ve been taught a really good lesson, so I’ll try my best to dig less pitfalls for myself next time. Once again, thanks to everybody for their understanding and support. The comments and support from readers’ comments are the best motivation for this Squirrel.

In the third volume of Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich, the main storyline and atmosphere will become slightly more relaxing and daily-life-focused. That’s because the total annihilation ending has already been averted, and the important responsibilities can all be tossed over to Hell. Roland can finally have a little more fun, yep, just a little, because the Holy War is still just beginning.

The main storyline of the next story arc will be about “the world of the mortals”. Now that Hell’s construction has just been completed, the seeds that Roland planted have begun to sprout as well. The Mist Alliance has evolved from a tiny border country alliance into a mega-empire. The Hell Churches and the God of Law will no longer be small churches now that the Hell Gods will be fully supporting them. Some lolis will have grown up slightly as well into girls filled with grudges, meaning that Roland will have plenty of fun ahead of him... Cough, cough, I won’t spoil you readers any more than this. The story’s style should become even more mystical and interesting. This type is what Squirrel is best at writing and enjoys the most.

Um, I originally wanted to write my Author’s Thoughts at the end of a chapter, but it actually told me that it can’t be written in the thoughts section if it’s more than 500 words. In that case, I might as well write this as an individual chapter to express my thoughts. Um, probably nobody will see this if I publish this at the beginning as a free chapter, so please forgive me for publishing this as a VIP chapter.

Um, once more, thanks again to everyone for your support. This Squirrel shall continue working hard with all of you by my side.
