Chapter 578 Author's Closing Remarks.
To my dearest readers, my precious darlings:
First of all, please allow me, with immense excitement and a touch of reluctance, to solemnly announce to you—the story is now complete! Hooray!
From the moment I typed the first word to the moment I put down the last period today, this story has accompanied everyone, and it has accompanied me for a full nine months.
After nearly three hundred days and nights of companionship, today we finally bring this shared 'journey' to a temporary close.
Frankly speaking, the book did not have a smooth start, with many controversies and differing opinions.
As a new author, I have indeed experienced moments of self-doubt.
It is your unwavering companionship, every word of encouragement, and every click that has given me the motivation to continue writing.
Thank you so much!
Without your support, this story might not have come this far.
This book inevitably has many shortcomings and areas for improvement.
Depicting a post-apocalyptic world, portraying complex human nature, and handling a large cast of characters are all extremely challenging tasks.
I can only use my limited imagination and writing skills to try my best to depict that world where crisis and warmth coexist, and to create those flesh-and-blood characters who can cry and laugh.
I also understand that reading is a wonderful collaboration between the author and the reader; a thousand people will have a thousand different interpretations of Hamlet.
Each character may have been given a unique understanding and image in your hearts.
All I can do is try my best to make the story logically consistent.
In conclusion, to sum it all up—all these words can be summed up in one sentence: Thank you!
Thank you all for your boundless tolerance, patience, and valuable suggestions during the nine-month serialization period.
As the story has progressed to this point, I have finally come to thank every member of the "Twelve Fiends" team, including Zhizhi, Gangzi, and Youyou...
It strives to depict the complete ending of a phase.
As I write this, I feel not only a sense of relief, but also a deep sense of reluctance.
It felt like a grand farewell, or like sending off a dear friend on a long journey.
Actually, there are still many images of them in my mind that I haven't written down.
I want to write about Nan Nan and Yan Ge's wedding, which is bound to be grand and heartwarming, and their ordinary yet sweet daily life after marriage, and perhaps one or two mischievous little ones as well.
I want to write about Ah Ye's growth, and I want to write about Ci Ge's love.
I want to write about Wanwan, Xingyou, Wenqing... each of their wonderful new chapters in life.
I want to write new stories for each of these boys: Gu Qi, Shi Xu, He Zhuo, Ji Xian, Chi Yi...
Many ideas swirl in my mind, I write and delete, but I always feel that I haven't figured out the best way to express my feelings.
Therefore, please allow me to pause here for a while.
Their story has come to an end in this time and space, but their life in that world will undoubtedly continue, and will be even more exciting.
Nan Nan and Yan Ge will definitely walk hand in hand through the long years.
Each of the "Twelve Fiends" will inevitably move towards their own shining future.
As for those everyday moments that I haven't elaborated on, perhaps one day, when I feel the ideas are mature enough, I will share them with everyone again as extra episodes.
Finally, please allow me to once again express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you who has persevered and read this far.
It is your gaze that gives these words life, and it is your emotional resonance that gives this story a real warmth.
This journey we completed together is my most precious gift.
The green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever.
See you in the next story!
On a sunny winter afternoon, January 9, 2026.
