Some insignificant yet wanted-to-be-said words

The original intention of writing this novel was to present a unique story from a different perspective and in a different way, within a seemingly ordinary framework.

And this intention, the overarching background of the entire book, should be somewhat discernible from the previous chapter (Chapter 076). I labored to incorporate some obscure trivia and craft certain narrative passages in this book, not only for the sake of novelty but also as part of a larger plan. Using technology to explain magic was merely setting a tone, to show that the author of this book isn't just a daydreamer but somewhat serious, or perhaps naive. Beyond that, a greater backdrop was gradually unfolding.

Why did I choose to write this way?

Because I am not only an author but also a reader, to be precise, a reader who has read far too much and found it unsatisfying, so I took matters into my own hands and got down to writing.
