Void Evolution System Chapter 1899 Author's Note

Unless you enjoy reading my long-winded ramblings, you should probably avoid unlocking this. To get straight to the point: I am incredibly grateful to everyone for reading! I truly hope to encounter you all again in our next journey. Now, let me shift into a more serious tone for those interested in reading further. I promise to do my best to keep it professional. Finally, we have reached the end. After 2,500,258 words, we have arrived at this moment. I will now fulfill my duty to provide a 1,000-word "Author's Note" for your enjoyment—or a massive yap session, to put it more bluntly.

I have observed that authors usually discuss sophisticated topics here, but that isn't really my strength. What is the best way to put it? VES began because a few friends pushed me to give writing a try. I took their advice and discovered a genuine passion for it. This novel is the result of that spark. Essentially, I was just a reader who decided to craft the exact story I wanted to experience. I longed for a protagonist with spatial abilities. I wanted to see the creative concepts I had gathered from reading countless books manifested within a world of my own making.

Writing served as a wonderful outlet. Although my skills were lacking when I first started, I loved the process, and I encourage anyone with a similar spark to try it, even if they don't plan on making it a career.

When the first chapters of VES were written, I never imagined it would grow into this. At the time, I assumed Damien’s journey would have concluded a very long time ago.

But as time marched on and the scope of the world expanded, my love for writing deepened. This book eventually became my personal sandbox where I let my imagination run wild. Sometimes it leaned into fantasy, sometimes sci-fi, and at other times it was pure Cultivation (though I know many readers didn't appreciate that shift). The world evolved into something as vast as it was magical because my various ideas had to be woven into a single, grand tapestry. It might have been somewhat accidental, but I like to believe it turned out this way because it was always destined to. Damien evolved from a simple character meant to showcase space as a primary power into a being so absurd he is difficult to describe. Believe me, I struggled to articulate his essence in the depths of my soul. I doubt even you readers expected us to finish with him literally controlling everything, did you? For me, this was primarily a learning process. Two years have passed, but this was my very first attempt at writing anything that wasn't a school assignment. Seriously. My first time ever. The fact that things reached this scale is genuinely mind-blowing to me. I feel like I need to repeat that constantly. This is a book riddled with errors. There were many instances where I revisited old chapters—the ones you’re thinking of—and cringed at my own prose. It is impossible to fathom what my mental state was when I wrote some of those scenes, I swear.

I had the opportunity to edit those parts and make them more polished, but I made a deliberate choice not to. While this decision has likely affected the book's traffic, it doesn't truly bother me. This story holds immense sentimental value. It is my first genuine creative work, and despite all its imperfections, I believe I did a damn good job.

This novel serves as a chronicle of my initial steps as a writer. As Damien grew stronger, my writing proficiency increased. You could even view his character development as a direct reflection of me learning how to navigate the complexities of a plot.

The errors and the cringeworthy moments in this book are all precious to me; when I look back years from now, those are the things that will bring a smile to my face.

Some readers disliked how long it took for Damien to reach a stable mental state, but I felt it would be a disservice to him if he overcame his trauma too easily. As hundreds of chapters transformed into thousands, Damien Void became more vivid to me. Even as a fictional character, I wanted his growth to be authentic, complete with all the stumbles and failures that naturally occur along the way.

Regardless of the outcome, I maintained a commitment for two years, and you all showed that same dedication by reading through every peak and valley to reach this final note I’ve attached for my own closure. I am deeply appreciative of every one of you, particularly those who commented and interacted, showing me that there were people who wanted to see the conclusion as much as I did (a special shoutout to the beppers. You know who you are). Whether this is considered a third-rate webnovel or a masterpiece, it doesn't matter to me. I am happy I wrote it, and I am happy you read it. Thank you for staying by my side until the finish line. I’ll see you in the next one!

(It is titled Tower of Heaven and it is available now. I promise it will be significantly less cringeworthy than VES, given that I actually have some experience now.)

The concept merges Cultivation with a tower-climbing narrative. It might sound a bit cliché, but I had a blast planning it, so I hope you’ll give it a look. I know this is a clumsy self-promotion, but I’ve never been good at being overly serious. Anyway, check it out if you’re interested. If not, that’s perfectly fine too.

Once again, thank you for following Damien’s path until now. Your support truly means everything to me :)
