● Illusory ●

Author's Note

Wow, what a wild ride.

I never really expected to get this far with Illusory, honestly. I just had this thought that I'd get halfway through and forget about writing it, but here we are at the end of Book 1 and the planning of Book 2 currently ongoing.

Honestly though, it's been a pleasure sharing this story with you all, especially with how long it has been playing out in my head. Though, I'd also like the thank some people who helped contribute to this story and planning behind this story:

I'd like to thank TheRealWindElemental and HSBB2_ for allowing me to have their characters as cameos, as well as being a source of motivation when it came to writing (Thank youuu Beelzenef!). You guys are the best!

I'd also like to thank Translucentskies_ for help with writing Fahmida & Kiran's characters as well! Quite honestly, I don't think I wouldn't have been able to write their characters well without your help!

As for other matters, thank you to my school newspaper for publishing the prologue of this story, and thank you to all my school friends who helped motivate me and cheer with me on this story. You guys kept me going. ("I want to punch Kalle." "Get in line, honey.")

And, of course, thank you, the reader, for being along on the ride with me. It was wonderful, and I can't wait to write the next book. :D

As for details on the prologue and next book:

The prologue is currently published in my prompt book ("Prompt and Circumstance") under the title "Beginner's Course". Though, as for Book 2, it will be called Minutiae ^^.

Last but not least, thank you again for reading this story. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for each person who reads this story, because it feels like I'm opening up to each reader about my daydreams each time they read through this book. It just feels great to get one of my daydream stories out there ^^

It probably sounds ridiculous to normal people to be saying stuff about getting daydream stories out there, but as someone who shows big signs of maladaptive daydreaming, it just feels great to tell people about the elaborate stories that pop up in my head when I'm bored.

But, yet again, thank you so much for reading, and of course..

See you all in the next book ~
