☆Postscript

I have received comments and messages suggesting that I might be plagiarizing.

Of course, I have written this work having been influenced by various other stories.

However, I do not recall copying other works to an extent that would warrant accusations of plagiarism.

However, I do have an idea of the circumstances that might lead readers on "Shousetsuka ni Narou" to mistake it for plagiarism.

First of all, this work has been available on Kakuyomu since the end of February 2023.

Furthermore, after this work climbed the Kakuyomu rankings, I occasionally saw other works on Kakuyomu's rankings that were likely influenced by this story.

I have not read those works.

However, according to information I received from readers, some of these works appear to be very strongly influenced.

Some even confused them, thinking I had merely changed the title and posted this work on "Narou."

I believe the similarities between this work and those heavily influenced works are being mistakenly pointed out as plagiarism.

I had not wanted to disclose these convoluted circumstances.

This is because I thought it would spoil the enjoyment of those who are reading this work.

However, being accused of plagiarism that I have no recollection of is extremely unpleasant, which is why I've added this postscript.

I hope you will continue to enjoy reading this work.
