Now then, I that’s suppose enough explaining of this volume’s events. After all, they’re explained much better in the volume itself. Instead, I think I’ll talk about things I had to watch out for during the writing process, since that’s something you won’t read about in the volume.
Most of the creatures and culture I’ve introduced so far are based on real-world creatures and cultures, but have been modified slightly to fit the setting. For example, everyone in Meraldia uses the base ten system, but that’s because like humans on earth, humans here have ten fingers and ten toes. I imagine so long as that’s true, base ten would be the natural choice for humans.
Creatures function in a similar manner. Their weight, size, and other traits are restricted by their ecology and the availability of food, just like on earth. As a result, you get a lot of creatures similar to ones you’d find on earth. On the other hand, I spent a very long time thinking about kentauros anatomy. After all, if they’re half-human half-horse, then where do their stomachs lie? If any of my readers happen to be kentauros, please tell me about your anatomy.
Moving on, this volume got published a lot faster than the second one did. But because of how fast I’m updating the web version, we haven’t gotten any closer to catching up. I’m hoping to keep up the pace when it comes to updating the web novel, so I imagine the published version won’t catch up for a while. If I put out a volume a month maybe we’ll get closer, but I’m pretty sure doing so would work my poor editor Lord Fusanon to death. I like him alive, so I think I’ll stick to this slower release pace.
Besides, as always, my editor has been a huge help. Thank you so much for everything. The fact that I can publish even this fast is all thanks to him. I’d also like to thank Nishi(E)da-sensei for his wonderful drawings. He does a great job at drawing the girls, but more importantly, he does a wonderful job of drawing the guys as well. He can do everything from handsome pretty boys to burly pirates, and it never ceases to amaze me. Also, there’s a manga version of Der Werwolf now, drawn by Terada Isaza-sensei. I’d like to thank him and everyone else at the manga department for all their hard work. Incidentally, you can read the manga for free on the Earth Star Comics site. To be honest, I look forward to the updates every month on the 26th, too. I’m a little nervous that my work’s gotten this popular but I’ll keep doing my best for all you readers out there. I hope you’ll continue to support Veight through his many struggles. May we meet again in volume four.
