Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

Well, it's my first time writing a book, and the author has many feelings about it.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to write a summary at the end of the volume, and to list out the things I wanted to say and the questions that readers care about one by one.

Well, it's time to list the author's sins. (Sad)

To be honest, the number of views for this book far exceeded my expectations. Originally, I was bored after graduating from high school. I didn't see many similar novels on Tomato, and the similar ones were all AI assembly lines, so I decided to write something casually and try to get the ideas out of my head.

Now it seems there's no going back...

Ahem, let's get back to the main topic.

Let's address the first issue.

I believe everyone can clearly feel one thing: the early part is too weak, and some careful readers can hardly even realize that this is a fanfiction of Honkai Impact 3rd and Knights.

Why is this problem occurring?

Hmm... because the author secretly wrote it alone in his dorm room under the covers after high school ε=(´o｀).

During that period, I was under a lot of academic pressure, so I wrote down the "wild ideas" in my mind in my memo.

Because I didn't think too much about it at the time, many readers felt that the earlier chapters were not enjoyable.

The author apologizes to everyone here!

When I have time later, I will rewrite the previous chapters to make the character designs and settings clearer.

Then, let's move on to the second point.

Regarding the claim that this book is a "bait and switch"

Well… how should I put it? It's definitely my fault for not writing clearly enough. There was too much setup in the beginning, and my update speed was indeed a bit slow…

My apologies again! m(_ _)m

But to clarify, I'm not lying. The fact that the protagonist created the belt is indisputable. The Build Driver was directly distributed to help the protagonist transition through the beginner phase, and also to introduce Evolt, this old joker (doesn't anyone think that's sacred?).

Now that we've come this far, let me give you a spoiler: E will definitely be resurrected, that's for sure, and it will even be closely related to the plot.

However, it wasn't Nguyen Mai who did it, so please stop "cyberbullying" Ms. Nguyen Mai.

Next, let's talk about original characters.

This is to further integrate the worlds of Kamen Rider and Honkai Impact 3rd, since it's a dual-theme world, this is unavoidable.

The character of Laira is quite controversial and is currently the biggest flaw in the book.

The author's intention was to design a character who could serve as a guide for the protagonist, since the Black Tower's identity and personality would not allow it to patiently teach the protagonist to become familiar with this universe.

Well... but the results were somewhat disappointing.

This will definitely be improved in the later remake.

Finally, I will answer some of the more discussed topics in this book.

First, is there a female lead? Who is she?

Yes, there will definitely be a female lead, that's beyond doubt.

The main character isn't someone who's good for your stomach, how could he possibly stay single forever?

However, the specific actress is still to be decided, since there are too many likable female characters in Honkai Impact 3rd, and the casting will greatly change the plot and the overall experience.

Secondly, what knights will be added later?

This is a bit sensitive, after all, guessing what will happen next with the Kamen Rider is a lot of fun~ ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

However, I can make one point clear to avoid any misunderstandings from readers later.

The protagonist sometimes creates belts not necessarily for his own use; he might just do it to earn tech points by completing missions.

After all, the value of a belt lies not in its quantity, but in its practicality.

Let's end with a little guessing game!

Guess what the protagonist's first belt on the Immortal Ship is?

Each person can only guess one knight; don't generalize.

As for the book club... well, we'll talk about that later. There are no plans for now. (Afraid of being bombarded with private messages urging me to update.)

Finally, thank you again to all the readers for your support. See you tonight for Volume 2!
