    Thank you for reading this all the way to the end. In regards to Silas, I left my central thoughts on him in my reply to Orionless, but I'll elaborate a bit more on his role in my reply to you. But first off, I want to address the pacing of the story.

    I actually feel as though the length is just right, as anymore would feel like I'm adding stuff simply for the sake of padding. It's clear that Silas ended up being more popular than I imagined, which is likely the reason the expectations for him to do even more arose. Though in terms of cut content, the Silas arc was originally planned to take a bit of a different route, which likely would have led to more chapters being in it. Originally, Silas was going to approach Ivy and without rewriting her mind, manipulate her into committing the heinous atrocities she did. She still would have ended up executed for her crimes, but this time, she'd be terrified and screaming how Silas tricked her up until her final moments. There were quite a few reasons I ended up scrapping this idea. First, Ivy ended up being so well received by readers, it inspired me to take a different angle with her character than originally planned. Back when I had that original vision of the Silas arc, Ivy was nothing more than a typical bully. She had no hidden cute side, nor was she even Jeter's favorite character. Positive fan reception to her though led to me revising her character which naturally meant the original arc would be revised too.

    As for why it was the way it was, I felt it was the more logical direction to take. When Silas was given the opportunity to write the arc, he didn't know how long he'd have to do so. Thus, his strategy was to start with making Ivy irredeemable and offing her in one fell swoop, as if he delayed doing so, he risked Jeter waking up and coming back to retcon away what was happening. For example, if Silas instead started with the trial and then Ivy committing the heinous acts, had Jeter woken up before Silas could kill off Ivy, he would have written things to have the evil Ivy be an imposter, and the real one captured, but breaking free to appear in court and unmask her fake as Silas' accomplice, landing both her and Silas in prison instead. I hope that better clarified things in regards to the story. Once again, thank you for reading and supporting this series. I hope you enjoyed it.

    Thank you for reading this all the way through and for commentating on nearly every chapter. Now to answer some of your questions. From the moment I first decided to write this, I knew the whole theme would be that the author of a famous manga is dying, thus his world is going to end. Silas is the main antagonist of the novel, however, I didn't want him to have the spotlight after his arc for one main reason, that being, he won. Silas' goal was simply to make Jeter miserable and hasten his demise. Even if he had been present, he would have let Jeter go in hopes of getting to watch him drop dead before he could submit his story, and even if Silas had been present to watch Jeter submit his story, it wouldn't have phased him, because once Jeter died, he wouldn't be able to protest anything he'd say or try to do to Cherry World.

    The main point I was trying to highlight with this ending is that it is the end of Jeter. From the very beginning, he was the main character and this story was told entirely from his perspective. Even the Silas that appeared in his world was ultimately Jeter's psych creating a perfect replica of the real deal, all for the purpose of reliving what happened to his manga in the real world in his psych. The reveal of everything taking place in Jeter's head while he inches closer to death was the main thing I was building the story up to. The ending was also intentionally bittersweet as Jeter needed to die, and once he died, so to did the world he himself created. I also didn't want to showcase what would happen to his manga after he died, since that would go against the whole theme of the story being Jeter's. Though I am a bit curious as to what more you wanted to see in the story, so feel free to let me know if you so choose. Once again, thank you for reading and supporting this series. I hope you enjoyed it.

    Author's Commentary #403:

    Time to talk about Chapter 403: Enter the Fairy gauntlet.
    It's time to see just what Daria was doing that led to her facing so many people. Turns out, she was on an infiltration mission to try and save Ina. That means the "Daria" that was present in the playing hall was actually Miga in disguise. Unfortunately for Daria, the Fairies look to be one step ahead, or rather, held a trump card the WWCF didn't know about. I'll get more into that in the commentary of later chapters.

    As for the game, it's Sorcha vs Daria proper, with a Chigorin, Irish gambit as well. It really is ironic that despite this one being the more solid of the two Irish gambits, all the games it's showcased in result in Black's loss, while the other Irish gambit is always able to win. Not sure if this will continue throughout the course of the series, but it just might as sort of a series joke.

    Yet the match with Sorcha is only the beginning. Daria is now stuck in a simul challenge where she must beat all the challengers that come before her in order to free the hostages. I will give fair warning that due to burnout and the sheer amount of games that Daria will be playing, I will not be showcasing all of them properly in their entirety. That being said, to compensate there will be some chapters delving into Daria's backstory, which will feature a really good game shown in it's entirety, and trust me, you'll want to see this game. All I'll say is that it's so hype, it's in contention for being one of the top 30 best games in the series.

    That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
