# Afterword (End of Season 1)
With this, the first part of the story is over. Thank you so much for reading the story this far!
As I said before, I will be taking a break before serializing season 2. That could mean days to more than a year because of life, so I kindly ask for your understanding. Consider following me to get updates when I release the next part of the story.
Also, thank you so much to the people who have supported me on Patreon. I have slowed down a lot on my writings and must have let you, my patrons, down. However, please know that you allowed me to continue writing this far when I could easily use my time elsewhere. I appreciate your support and will still publish the stories there from time to time when it’s ready, even if it’s not daily.
Through creating this, I’ve learned a lot about writing, myself, and the readers. I enjoyed reading the comments and the polls. I also liked interacting with you and tried to reply to all comments on all sites. However, I couldn’t reply to everything especially if you’re reading this in a forum. For that, I apologize, but please know that I appreciate all of your responses, whether they are positive or not.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
Now that I’ve said my impressions and thoughts, let’s talk about Isekai Defense.
This novel was originally inspired by a Korean novel [“Dungeon Defense” by Yoo Heonhwa]. Especially the first few chapters of the story. But rather than the plot, I mainly tried to adapt the writing style itself. Like the dramatic writing, deep characters, first-person POV, and more. I wanted to write something much lighter than that novel, but somehow, my writing turned into a rom-com somewhere along the line, lol.
After season 1, I planned to write a slice-of-life arc where MC and Arte just train to get stronger and enjoy life, without advancing the plot too much. But the main story alone is enormous. So I will refrain or writing this slice-of-life arc as a separate story instead.
In the main story:
- We have 2 more main heroines, each with their arc.
- A reunion with Bianca.
- Story about MC’s past.
- Getting involved with the demons and sub-characters (like Eliza and the original hero party members).
- Until finally the otherworld monsters’ invasion began in earnest.
It’s a long journey and I hope you will continue to enjoy the story from here on too. Thank you again for reading this far.
Sincerely,
FebyA
