By the Grace of the Gods (LN) - Volume 8 - Chapter Aft

Afterword

Hello. Roy here, author of By the Grace of the Gods!

Thank you so much for picking up volume 8 of BGG! Hughes finally gets married, and with the addition of new allies (or food, perhaps) Ryoma moves on to the fishing village of Sikum by a vast lake. Ryoma spends some quality time (some quieter than others) enjoying the peaceful village... Until a shadow is cast on his future towards the end of the volume. What awaits Ryoma and his lifestyle as the plot thickens...?

Speaking of new things on the horizon, I’m pleased to announce that the BGG anime is now in production! Preparations were being made quietly as volume 8 was being written and published! I was already overjoyed to have published (and continue to publish) my story, but now there’s going to be an anime. I had received some comments online that people wanted to see an anime of the series, but of course, that’s not an easy process. I always took those comments as an expression of the readers’ appreciation for the series. Even if I fantasized about it a few times, I never really expected for this to happen. Truth be told, I first suspected that it was a scam or a prank, but it finally clicked when I began being involved in the process. I can’t express how happy and grateful I am for the opportunity.

BGG has only grown this far because of readers like you who read and purchase the books! Thank you so, so much for your support! With faith in myself (I came this far, after all) and all of the readers out there, I will continue telling this story to the best of my ability.

I hope you take up volume 9, as well as check out the anime.
