The work ‘Traitor, Treacherous Genius’ has been completed.

The work that started in the contest on October 5th ended in 6 months and about 360 episodes.

The work titled ‘Traitor, Treacherous Genius’ was a novel that I had been planning since around May of last year.

After becoming an Academy Award-winning villain and ending, the novel that I had been thinking about various topics for writing a new work ended up as a treacherous genius who was a famous traitor.

Perhaps, at first, the main character was in the position of the Habsburg emperor.

The temporary title was ‘Crying out pure love in the heart of Habs’

Yes

When everyone in the Habsburg family was shouting about inbreeding, I came up with a story where the main character, a modern man, escapes from the family, saying, “If you stay here, you will develop a genetic defect.”

The story part about him was later transferred to Soft Bamboo, and only the worldview setting remained as a treacherous genius and a famous traitor.

The original name of the Thersian Empire was also the ‘Hapsburg Empire’,

The name and empire name were changed due to the unicorn-like thought, ‘If that were the case, wouldn’t the main heroine, Astasia, have elements of a genetic defect?’

You may have noticed that the name of the empire does not appear throughout the beginning of the novel, and that the name and empire appear only when the emperor appears.

Until then

Habsburg von Tersian

Tersian von Habsberg

While thinking about it, she decided that she could not give Astacia her genetic defect

No matter how many times you hear a story about a person’s name being Habsburg, the emperor’s name eventually became Habsburg.

The name Habsburg itself was a bit of a piece of cake

In fact, like the Habsburg family, they intermarried, but they had no knowledge of genetic diseases.

So I prepared a contest based on various settings, and received an excellence award at the contest.

It was an honorable award in many ways, and I started thinking about many things after receiving the award.

There are certain lines for the content, but how long should I use it?

Considering longevity, profit, and the tempo of the writing, would it be better to write one piece a day and wait until the winter of 2024, or should I finish it on March 27th, which I had scheduled before the contest?

After thinking about that, I ended up finishing the main story with 360 episodes as a result of rushing to the end.

Because I have to make a living, I will struggle and suffer while I plan, write, and pay for new works, but I have no regrets about finishing My Traitor’s Story early.

I worry a lot about the number of serials and the deadline for completion each time, but in the end, I think this is the right path for me.

However, I plan to write the side story a little slowly.

After posting the completion notice, I plan to write the side story slowly, about one episode a day.

While I was writing the spin-off, I had to look at other novels that were somewhat neglected, and I had to think about the most important issue of the new work because I hadn’t even touched on it yet.

If there is a reservation, it will go up.

The schedule is written above, so if you have a reservation, it would be good to think that a side story has been uploaded.

Anyway, another work has been completed.

Rather than a masterpiece of treason

Should I call him a rebel genius?

In creating the feeling of something political or something like that, there were quite a few misunderstandings and errors that arose due to the difference between the direction the author was thinking and what was being reflected to the readers.

For those who were expecting pure love, it was also the case that pure love episodes occasionally popped out like an oasis in the desert among breathtaking political dramas.

I need to grow every time I write a piece, but it seems like only the bad parts keep getting highlighted

I will reflect a lot and try to write in a way that does not cause any inconvenience in the future.

Most likely, new works will continue to focus on light harem stories for the time being.

If a new work comes out later, we will promote it through notices, so please understand that.

Thank you for enjoying watching the treacherous genius, a famous traitor.

Below are questions and answers from the live broadcast.

After watching, if your question is not resolved or you have any other questions, please leave a comment here.

Q1: How many children did Gray Lang Astasia have?

A1: She plans to give birth as much as she loves

Q2: How few side turns will you have?

A: Approximately 30 episodes.

First, I plan to unravel the episodes I have in mind one by one, and then go through them from time to time and write down any additional content I would like to write about.

We plan to write side stories about content that was intentionally placed backwards in the final chapter or parts that were intentionally skipped back.

Part of the story, mainly about the history after the ending without Gray Gibraltar.

And part of the story from a distant future.

Etc.

Q3: Regarding the illustration of Lettar, were you originally planning to write her as her younger sister?

A: I know that there were various issues because Lettar was much younger than Gray (6 years older) and she was Gray’s younger sister even though she was in the heroine illustration and even in the service illustration.

These were all traces of the ‘harem genius Habs Genius’ before the traitorous tracherous genius decided to enter the contest.

Well… Habs.

I think you know what it means.

Anyway, in the draft, at the time of the harem famous Habs Genius, he was scheduled to appear as a character who was one year older than him and who was a tsundere, and the relationship was like that before he returned~~ There were things like that, but

It disappeared as it changed to a novel of pure love

If I had gone ahead, I would have been one of the three harem captains.

Q4: About the ranking of female characters in the mid-game series

A: If we were to talk about it from the point of completion, the highest ranking would be Mother 〉〉, Astasia 〉〉, etc.

Q5: How did you feel when you were confused between Astasia and Naria in the beginning?

A: From Volumes 1 to 2 (Episodes 1 to 60), it was vaguely described who the object of pure love was.

Since it was a contest piece, there was some plan for volumes 1-2, but I didn’t think the design was as complicated as it was when it was first started.

Loyalty is Naria

Love is Astasia

I tried to slowly unravel the story in this direction, but many people felt confused, so I had a bit of trouble deciding on a direction.

Some people said that

Aren’t we going to proceed without revealing the end of this?

In order to reduce confusion, in episode 60, it was simply stated as ‘the princess’

Not completely, but if you look at it step by step, you can realize, ‘Ah, she was actually a princess.’

After that, as you can see, the princess was in a straight line.

You seem to be feeling more confused than you think, but it doesn’t seem like it would be a good idea to go back and forth between Naria and Astasia for the entire 360 episodes, so I thought I should open it early.

Q: Does the heroine in your next job have gray hair?

A: There is no main heroine, but one of the supporting roles is planned.

There are illustrations, but I plan to take my time thinking about new ones.

Q: Was there an exception in the competition for successor between the late emperor and Isabella’s son?

A: The Habsburgs enjoyed it.

Q: How many hours a day do you think you wrote while writing The Great Traitor?

A: When I was most focused on writing, I think I spent up to 3 hours per episode. The second half of the work had a set plot, so I wrote it accordingly, and when I reached the final part, the content was always printed out fairly quickly, taking less than 1 hour and 30 minutes.

On average, I think each episode of Traitor’s Song lasted about 2.5 hours.

Q. What kind of disaster occurs in the world line where the incompetent king dies before Naria turns 20?

A: A mysterious plague breaks out and all those who were unable to protect the king fall ill and die, an earthquake occurs and the entire continent shakes, or all the crops in the land of Nostrum wither and all food disappears. There was.

It’s not something that’s going to happen in particular, so the setting is loose, but I guess it’s a compilation of disasters that have happened in the past.

Anyway, Nostrum is ruined.

Q. Information on people from the Empire and side stories about them

A. I have no intention of writing anything special about the Empire.

Originally, I would set up all 8 masters and defeat them one by one, or I would go up by defeating the four masters one by one in the Sky Castle, etc.

By lowering the level, changing the setting, and changing the plot, the eight gods have become the emperor’s flesh and blood.

Marquis Claydoll (Bald Master) was the first of the eight to be killed by Gray, so he often appeared.

Q. If Naria was the crony, what kind of person would Astasia be?

A. It’s not something I had in mind, so I can’t say anything in particular, but it seems like it could be the subject of a side story based on the days of Guardian Gray.

Q. About my mother’s survival/disappearance/death.

A. Charlotte Lembourg Gunter.

In many ways, it was a character who had many arguments and problems, and was a character that people inevitably had different likes and dislikes – even more dislikes.

First of all, six months ago, before planning the content, there was one thing I decided on first.

‘Kill everyone except Gray’

Yes

Father, mother, younger brother, younger sister

Everyone was going to die, no matter what.

In particular, I planned to kill the mother’s side from the beginning, so I planned it that way

If it weren’t for that, the setting of the affair itself wouldn’t have existed.

‘I’m going to kill them anyway, so this is probably okay.’

That was the thought.

Truly picaresque

Tragedy itself

The ending leads to a catastrophe as he kills all of his parents and younger siblings who restored their relationship after returning, and a confrontation with the crazy Habsburg, who still wants to hand over the continent to him even after killing all of his family!＜ Br ＞

I thought about it, but it wasn’t until the end of the contest (about 150 episodes ago) that I thought, ‘It’s a bit too much to kill minors.’

I really thought a lot about whether to kill my father and mother or not, and even after deciding on the two plots, I thought about it for several days

First of all, the mother was a character who was set up to die from the beginning, but as she wrote it, it seems like the writer became attached to her and hesitated to kill her.

Even personally, I thought that the episode in question was ‘uncleaned’, and even the day before I wrote the episode, I thought a lot about whether I should kill it or not.

The Star Flower Latte of Extermination and the Chestnut Flower Latte of Happy Ending fought, and in the end, the Chestnut Flower Latte won.

In fact, I still go back about 20 episodes ago

First, I killed my father and then I killed my mother

Gray retreated directly to the rear of his father’s body

While absorbing my father’s blood, I share a sword with my father inside the silver and gain enlightenment

After having a final conversation with the souls of their dead father and mother, the two leave.

That plot was actually the main plot

‘How can the main character couple live their life with peace of mind when their parents died like that?! Having a child happily in a happy ending without any concerns or concerns is true happiness!’

The reason is 50%.

And the remaining 50% has a reason outside of the work.

It’s still a little early to talk about this (in terms of the author’s lifespan), so I’ll open it later when the time comes.

Anyway, the plot was designed to save her mother her her her, and as her mother her her lived, so did her her father her her her.

Since both are going as a set, if one died, the other would definitely die as well.

There may be differences in the successful relationships.

If the mother died and the father died as well, each corpse would have received +1 when mana was absorbed in the morgue in the basement of the Gibraltar domain. Rather, that would have been the main point.

Since the content has already been completed for the IF route, the plot will be used in the next work in the future.

I need to grow even more so that I can become a writer who is merciless when it comes to killing off characters.

Q: It seemed like the Incompetent King had returned in the Guardian world line. What was the Incompetent King like in that world line?

A: After the first time, the incompetent king just ate dragon fries, and then his kingdom collapsed due to his incompetent luxury and pleasure.

Episode 2 The Incompetent King had been targeting his mother since his academy days, but after becoming disillusioned with his mother due to her stalker and pervert behavior and being taken away by his father (he thought so), his unicorn mode was activated and he decided to turn back time. Br＞

So, I entered the 20-year project to raise Naria.

Q: About the child between Gray and Astasia

A: First, one person is confirmed, plus Alpha until Astasia’s body becomes available. There is an episode in the spinoff where a child appears.

Q. If there had been another half a year or a year, would Gray have been able to kill the emperor with one blow?

A. According to the growth curve graph, if about a year had passed, Mana would have reached the same level. Assuming that the Emperor did not absorb the 7th Master and that Gray did not use his ancestor’s chance his. In the end, both were used up, and Gray narrowly won by the mana difference.

Q In the previous episode, Naria seemed to remember that she and Gray were originally her siblings. Why did she do that?

A. I didn’t mention this in the main story because I thought it would need to be covered separately as a side story, but the spoiler is as follows.

After Naria was 10 years old.

So, after the incompetent king called her mother and did something like that, she was so drunk with her victory that she revealed her plan while Naria was sleeping and told her the story of the first time.

You are not actually my daughter

He is the younger brother of Gray Gibraltar

Naria knew that, but her memory was reset when she handed over her regression powers to Gray.

The reason why Naria didn’t know in the main story was probably due to the difference in time when she heard it.

Q. I heard that the Incompetent King was called the future of the kingdom during his Academy days. Is that just an act? It seems like I’m going back to being 10 years old. Did I play Dragon Fry before I was 10 years old?

A. Surprisingly, she was a person who was better than Naria when she put her mind to it. Although he had talent and intelligence, he only put all his will into his women.

Dragon Fry was committed before the time of regression, before the age of 10.

That is my own standard.

Q Then how was it possible for the incompetent king of the first round to return? Did he survive after the destruction and go all the way to Gibraltar and return?

A First round kingdom occupation process

1. Seirene Irasshaimase

2. Building a camp in the front yard of Gibraltar

3. Royal Capital Toledo Backdoor

4.St. Geo Run

5. Gather all survivors to Gibraltar

6. The miracle of return was discovered in the canyon! 〈- You were invited by a miracle

Q: About the side story

A: We will not cover IF content separately. I will only write about omitted content, missing parts, or parts that were intentionally postponed.

In commemoration of April Fool’s Day on April 1st, I’m planning to write about one episode about Harem Master Habs Genius, but other than that, I think the content will all be derived from the main story.

Q: About the new work

A: First of all, I am thinking of it as a Hunter Pan Academy harem, but the specific setting has not been decided yet.

I couldn’t decide whether to use the starflower or the chestnut flower

Only 4 cards have been accumulated

Q The father, the former king, is said to be a wise king, and his teacher, Winchester, is not a person who would waste the crown prince’s education. Is it just his nature to be such an incompetent king?

A: Yes

He is a capable person who has the ability but used that ability to ruin the country.

However, since this ability is specialized for administration/politics/escape, it cannot become as strong as the Master.

The powers used in this story were all artifacts given by the dragon for the royal family of Gibraltar.

I wondered if I should write a separate episode about going looking for it, so I omitted it.

In fact, that was the origin of the name Saint Geo Nostrum

Saint Geo

Read quickly, Seinjio Seinjo Seonjo

Yes

It is him.

Q Is there a side story that says the Emperor used a trick to prevent the Wizard Master from appearing in Gibraltar?

A: I don’t plan to write about it separately, but if you’re wondering why it happened like that, I kept assassinating the master wizard until he didn’t show up.

The Emperor’s secret efforts to stop the magicians ultimately bore fruit as Nostrum without a Magic Master.

I touched my daughter-in-law

Q: In the previous episode, did you really just think that Gibraltar would not betray you and be satisfied that you got Charlotte even after knowing that the Habsburgs would start a war?

A: Satisfaction of having obtained her mother + Complacency that Gibraltar protected her in the first episode + Future thinking that Crimson will die and only Gray needs to be rubbed well + Intelligence decline due to burying her head in her mother’s chest ＜ br＞

As a result of this combination, no response was taken

And the result is Crimson’s Irasshaimase.

It’s ruined.

Q After completion, are the names Saint and Habsburg now treated the same as Adolf? How is gray treated?

From noble mtl dot come

A: I think you can enjoy it as a side story and epilogue.

Q In the middle of the novel, someone came to Seville, which had been cooperating well, and became uncooperative. They thought Golden Dawn was on their side, but did Golden Dawn really do something?

A: I planned an episode where the emperor secretly deployed two sword masters to Seville and they carried out an operation, and some of the Knights of the Golden Dawn came and confronted each other, and Gray dealt with and killed the two masters in the middle .

I discarded it because there were no female characters

It was because both the dispatched Imperial Masters and Golden Dawn were all male.

In Golden Dawn, both Seville and Sirene were touched.

Q: Will the mystery of Charlotte’s death from the previous episode be solved?

A: I don’t think I’ll write at length. To give a spoiler, in the previous episode, the emperor pretended to commit suicide.

The last thing I whispered at my father’s execution site was the truth, but I’m debating whether to write it as a side story or not.

Q: Sirene was pro-empire, but why did she act pro-royal in the end and what did the incompetent king really order?

A: It was the emperor’s propaganda. The Count of Sirene was looking at both sides until the end. King Mu-neung ordered regular offerings of alcohol purchased from the empire.

Q. Did the emperor just want to open the era of humans in one way or another? I’m confused because after all that Gray did, he went for art.

A: I went thinking about the fact that the Golden Dragon’s miraculous return will disappear + that Nostrum has been completely destroyed + that even if Gray disappears from history, the imperial culture has already taken deep roots in Nostrum, etc.

Q: Did Charlotte take revenge on Gray for not giving him affection, as he assumed, or was he just desperate?

A: At first, I believed that they would catch me, but in the end, that happened, and I gave up everything due to feelings of betrayal, anger, disillusionment, desperation, etc. It was painful to be looked at as an adulterous woman within the family, so she even went to the royal capital to escape. At that time, the Margrave did not control or manage this, but was only filled with the thought of ‘Saint Geojojinda’.

It’s like Nostrum.

Q: What happens to the person who promised to maintain the Golden Dawn during the Battle of Orosol? At that time, wasn’t Golden Dawn’s reputation buried underground?

A: Sir Falwood Roland is from Nostrum. He is a loyalist and was the head of Conquistador before his return.

He raised his spear to exalt the name of the Golden Dawn to greatness once again.

Q: Roland’s son was swapped, but his father took part in the Battle of Orosol in an unknown event. What happened to the real son? Also, did his father’s side underestimate Gray until the end?

A: As if he appeared in Lord Gray’s dream, he was one of the men who had a deeper influence on Gray than expected.

He tried to draw a separate episode when he went north, but for one reason or another, the amount was cut.

If she had been a female, she would have had illustrations and friendships beyond her male and female counterparts, but it happened because she was a male.

My condolences to Sir Falwood Roland.

I will not mention the Roland family separately. I’m thinking of using this setting again in the future with a variation in another novel.

Q What happened to Balzac in the previous episode? Did the Incompetent King still take care of himself as Charlotte’s father?

A: In recognition of my contribution to bringing Charlotte, I was treated to a feast of delicacies, but it soon turned into a bottle of alcohol.

Q Did the Incompetent King truly love Charlotte? He just seems possessive

A:St. Geo loved Charlotte’s motherhood

It was an erotic love
