1. Final impressions
For me, ‘I do XX to survive at the academy’ is a meaningful novel in many ways.
As much as it was the first serialization, it gave me many unforgettable first experiences.
I was able to feel the pleasure of communicating with readers for the first time, I received fan art for the first time, and even though it was short-lived, I entered the top 50 of Novelpia for the first time.
I will continue to write, but no matter how much time passes, I will never forget the experiences I had while publishing this novel.

2. Thank you
It’s really not enough to say thank you to the readers a few times.
Thanks to that, the motivation for my dream of being a writer has become stronger.
There were several crises internally or personally in the middle of the article, but thanks to the interest and love of the readers, I was able to come to the end safely.
I can’t even count how grateful I am to those who were with me until the last episode.
Thank you for reading all the 364 episodes and sympathizing with the world I imagined, so I was really happy during the serialization.
Even while writing this article, several readers’ IDs come to mind.
There were some people who gave me strength with comments full of affection, and there were also people who supported me with sponsorships or collections.
The reason I successfully completed this novel is thanks to all of you who gave me extra interest.
Looking back, I wrote the same words I wrote again.
It means that I am so grateful, and I ask for your understanding that the writer is not in a good mood hehe…
I also want to say thank you to Tarpa and Blundy who drew the fan art.
I never dreamed that I would receive fan art from the two of you.
On the day I saw the picture of Dania uploaded by Tarpa, I remember being in a good mood all day because of the fan art he received for the first time in his life.
I don’t know if Blundy saw this post, but I feel both grateful and sorry.
Thank you for drawing Selena fan art of such high quality, I wanted to ask you to outsource the illustration, but I couldn’t tell you because of budget or various reasons…
I would like to say thank you again to the two of you, and I will treasure the illustrations you drew for the rest of my life!

3. Stories not covered in the main story
I’m going to write here about the story that I couldn’t write down in the main story because of the length or other issues.
① What is Ian’s father and Armelda’s husband, who never appeared in the main story, doing?
Armelda’s husband was doing the same thing as her wife.
Investigating crimes related to black magic and catching criminals.
Then, a few years before Ian starts college, Armelda’s husband is mortally wounded in a battle with felons.
The reason Armelda never tried to bring her Ian into her own affairs was because she feared that her son would suffer the same fate as her father.
② What is the GHJ that appeared in the beginning of the work (Episode 21)?
As you may remember, there’s a scene where Ian goes through his book of seduction spells and finds the handwritten words GHJ.
Until this point, she thought that the reason she was drawn to the game world was because of Goo Hye-jin who hated her.
So even when she saw her handwriting, GHJ, I guessed that she was making fun of her by writing her initials.
It is correct that this GHJ handwriting was written by Goo Hye-jin, and of course it was not her intention to make fun of Ian.
And the message she wanted to convey to her Ian in those three letters was ‘save me’, not her own name.
When de Laneige tried to take over her body completely, Goo Hye-jin resisted by squeezing out her meager mana, and in the process, she wandered around the library frantically.
Then, feeling a crisis, she accidentally wrote a rescue request message on the book of seduction spells in her hand, hoping that one day Ian would help.
In case de Laneige would notice, she spelled GHJ instead of spelling out “Save me” Exactly.
It’s not a very important part at this point that I’m finished haha…
Originally, I had planned a plausible reversal using this message, but as it was serialized, the direction changed slightly and was neglected.
This is the result of my lack of serial experience.
③ Why are Lee Ahn and Goo Hyejin? Who brought you into the game world?
There are probably many people who are curious about this part.
In conclusion, ‘no one knows’.
No one knows who transported the two to another world or why.
It is unknown whether it is a scientific principle or a supernatural phenomenon such as the power of God, and it is simply a product of coincidence created by the overlapping of numerous factors of absurd probability.
There’s a reason it’s set this way.
I just wanted Ian to be happy thanks to an unconditional coincidence.
Since the reality is so harsh, everyone imagines at least once the luck that has rolled in.
Like winning a lottery ticket you bought without much thought, or waking up and having supernatural powers.
I and the readers have not yet experienced such a thing, so the intention was to be vicariously satisfied with the main character in the novel instead.
(Ian went through a lot of hardships even after he went to the new world, but please understand that this is for novelistic fun)
Even if it is not grandiose luck to be dragged into a new world like Ian, I hope that unexpected luck rolls in to the readers as well.
For reference, the world that is the main background of the novel is not the world in the game that Ian and Gu Hye-jin were making, but another world that is exactly the same as that game.
Therefore, no matter what happens to the game in which Ian was originally, Ian and Hyejin will live happily with their precious people in the world they are in.

4. About the next work
As I said before, I would like to participate in the contest starting on July 1st.
Currently, it is in the stage of conceiving the story and setting, but it seems to be a 19-karat gold harem with a little fantasy element in the background of modern times.
I think it would be like the college student male and female protagonists having an unwanted relationship because of some fantasy element, and the female protagonists rejecting this relationship in their hearts, but gradually falling in love with the male lead.
I learned a lot from this series and regretted a lot, so I will try my best to write it.
Perhaps the atmosphere is not serious, and it will be unfolded so that you can enjoy the erotic story comfortably.
If you don’t mind, I hope you leave a reminder! I’m trying to post a notice about a new work during the contest.
There are so many things I want to say, but it seems like there will be no end to them.
Finally, I would like to thank the readers once more and close the article.
Thank you for reading my writing, thank you for liking the characters, and thank you so much for having fun with my writing.
I hope that the future of our readers will be filled with only happiness.
Thank you
