What began as a lighthearted rain-day sidestory, The Madam is an Ex-Valkyrie, unexpectedly garnered strong support, forcing me into full serialization.
I planned to end it by February 13, 2022, but a barrage of donations compelled me to start the next outline and even draft a special plan for the 20th installment.
2022.02.14
Building on that plan, the first sidestory, The Silver Wolf Falls in Love, began serialization.
Eight days later, I wrote content rated 19+ for the first time.
Though I thought the plot had already gone off the rails, readers responded even more enthusiastically and crowdfunded generously, so, with tears in my eyes, I created an outline for Part 2.
2022.03.04
Part 2 of The Madam is an Ex-Valkyrie began serialization.
I tried to kill the excitement with a parody of Honkai Impact 3's gameplay in the very first chapter, but readers somehow got even more fired up—and it took off.
I'd planned to use the twins for an affair-driven, mind-bending subplot, but since the twins couldn't be that clever, I selected the then-new character Bianca, whose setup was already there. For some reason, readers only burned brighter.
As my outlines ran dry and the hype reached a fever pitch, I feared they'd demand even more, so I started planning another sidestory.
2022.05.09
I made some excuses to appease readers and launched the Kiana-focused sidestory.
Unlike the main story, this one was pure love, healing, and romance, so, as planned, pre-chapters began rolling in.
Just when I thought I could finally wrap it up and sketched a conclusion, quick-witted readers sensed it and began threatening me with donations. Seriously, why?
I wondered if my own reactions were the cause, so I even wrote proper afterwords. It was no use.
2022.06.05
The overwhelming donations forced me to start Part 3.
From the very first chapter, desperate calls for "Yes, loli—no touching!" appeared, so I introduced Auntie. But when praise flooded in and comments hailed Auntie as a heroine, I seriously questioned, is this okay?
I also began hearing strange lines like "You're my home now."
In the end, to legitimize the harem, I decided the story had to be about gaining family approval… but I still don't understand why Jere said that line.
Since it wasn't in the plan, I ended the serialization under duress and decided to start fresh with a prequel.
2022.09.06
I returned to what was supposed to be the main story, but somehow it became a sidestory: Rainy Day, and began serialization anew.
Writing a true pure-love, healing romance, the author finally started feeling healed too.
Recalling the chaos of The Madam is an Ex-Valkyrie, I resolved to avoid sidestories as much as possible.
~2023.04.21
While The Madam's readers endured a dark age, the author enjoyed a healing period.
2023.04.22
I resumed serialization by revising the conclusion of Part 3.
I changed the title to My Insignificant Marriage to Her, turning Rainy Day into My Insignificant Marriage to Her: Prequel.
With no clear new plan, I decided to prioritize the Star Rail sidestory someone had suggested earlier.
2023.06.29
The Star Rail sidestory begins.
2023.09.27
The Star Rail sidestory prologue concludes.
Average recommendations surprisingly topped fifty, so I decided to draft an afterword for My Insignificant Marriage to Her.
And then—
…
…
…
…
…
It was someone's wish.
"Please, take care of this child."
It was the hope that their own child could live in the happiest place imaginable.
That was all there was to it, and since the other party also needed a child, their interests aligned perfectly.
"Brother, actually Bronie isn't your child. She—"
And amid this shocking revelation, a new story emerged.
"No, Brother, that's not it!"
The Madam's desperate struggle to protect family harmony and prevent the truth from coming out.
"I already told you. It has nothing to do with you."
"Well, I wonder if that's really the case?"
"Wh-what is th—?!"
But shaken by the truths that surfaced, The Madam began to waver as well.
Just when shock and dread mounted with each newly revealed fact—
"Am I late again?"
Someone fell into despair.
"It's about time, isn't it?"
Another set a hidden plan into motion.
"Captain, I believe it's time you were informed. Actually—"
And in the midst of it all, the Captain disappeared along with Rita, who had requested a private meeting.
But everyone here was among the strongest in this universe.
"Why would Rita—?"
"Brother, I don't think there's any real danger."
"But it's still an emergency."
And the institution they'd relied upon most was none other than the world-renowned.
"Find the Captain, quick!"
With clear traces left behind, they all followed the Captain and Rita's trail—and then witnessed a scene that left them stunned.
"This can't be happening."
"...I never imagined this could occur."
The Captain was locked in a deep kiss with someone.
The shocking sight of him grabbing the fleeing person and kissing them without hesitation left everyone reeling.
But above all, and especially for Mei, the most startling revelation was who that someone was.
"How could it be you—"
The Madam is an Ex-Valkyrie Season 4.
October 15, 2023.
This ends the teaser—but the main story will not begin.
