As of today, I've released the 100th chapter of Artificial Fantasy! And yes, this Author's Note will be cross-posted in Royal Road! Some of the details will be different depending on the platform.
It's been almost 4 years now and this year's October will be the 5th anniversary of this web novel originally released on 抖阴社区. The original idea was to have two brothers have fun in a highly-advanced VRMMO in a slice-of-life/slow-life fantasy story and I can't believe how much it blew in over 4 arcs and several supporting characters along with Hayate and Kazuki Palmer now. What was once my attempt to work on an original story has turned into my favorite web novel to write and world-build every day along with my fanfictions and now, Twin Minds: Demonic Rebirth. Not only that, I got about 360 votes and a lot of you read Hayate and Kazuki's adventures with almost 6,500 views as of this writing! Damn, that's a lot and this is only half of their adventures throughout [Isekai Online]!
Despite the hiatuses, RL issues, and more coming straight right through me like a truck, you guys kept on reading and seeing what the boys had in store for the game featured in this novel. My aim is not to let them be those OP heroes you saw in isekai anime and light novels and just let them enjoy their favorite VRMMO game like any teenager would. And despite the small following, I'm glad you guys enjoyed their antics and battles they experienced both in [Isekai Online] and real life.
I've prepared a special artwork to commemorate this special occasion I would never imagine reaching to this day. It's on the top right now drawn by me and I hope you get to see what Hayate and Kazuki drew for the readers who stuck by me till today and beyond.
(Now that I saw it, I don't remember Kazuki's in-game Isekai character supposed to be bigger than Wind...)
While Artificial Fantasy will return after Camp NaNoWriMo, that doesn't mean you guys can stop reading it for a while. I made a lot of world-building while writing the chapters and most of them are available here with the Lore Break ones available exclusively on Royal Road. Whether you want to reread it, share the story, do everything to support Artificial Fantasy along with my other novels outside 抖阴社区 or know more about the world inside [Isekai Online], the Palmer brothers' adventures will never stop.
Thank you so much for the support for 4 years and I hope we can celebrate more once the 5th anniversary comes in October.
See you back in <Volo> in April!
