The Strange Lady’s End-Times Tale

What happens after the first volume? Are you writing about the supernatural or people? It's all about companies all the time.

I just finished reading the first chapter. Did the older sister come back to life later?

It's been a year since it ended, what about the epilogue?

The larger the map got, the less interesting it became. The first map was really well-written, with plot twists and turns. After obtaining the Puppet Song ability, it felt almost like having X-ray vision, which made it less exciting.

There's not much logic to it; it's just talking about concepts.

Does anyone know where I can see the character designs? #(Starry-eyed)

It's rare to find a novel with a theme that really interests me, but the writing style and plot logic are so bad I can't even finish reading it! #(So sad)

I didn't watch Hedgehog Cat before, but I'm subscribing to the whole thing now to make up for it. #(Sunglasses)

I've finished watching "The Mysterious Miss's Last Story". I've read many novels, but I've only actually finished a very few. When I finally reached the ending of most of them, I felt a sense of loss. A story, a good story, often draws us in irresistibly, either captivating us with the emotions it creates or filling us with anticipation for its development and the novelty it promises. But every complete story is finite; no matter how long, it must eventually reach its destined ending. The emotions and atmosphere created by the story will be shattered at this moment; the novelty it brings will come to an end. Lost in the story, I felt as if I had been in a beautiful dream, only to awaken at its conclusion. Yes, dreams must end, and the mundane reality is the true melody of life. So I feel sadness, a very faint sadness, or perhaps a sense of melancholy. It's a slight disorientation caused by the intersection of dreams and reality, a feeling shared by every story's ending; it's also a feeling evoked by the story's conclusion, something shaped by each unique tale. If we were to categorize endings superficially, the one I dislike most is the so-called "dream ending"—where everything in the story is nothing but a fleeting dream, and the ending is merely a rude awakening. Perhaps this kind of ending best suits the reading experience, but I ultimately find it utterly repulsive because it denies everything about the story, negates its meaning, at the narrator's level. Even the most foolish storyteller, when telling the most absurd tale, will still implicitly acknowledge its reality, even if they use the excuse that the story takes place in another world. This preserves the reader's boundless imagination about the story's world; even if the story is indeed like a dream, we still flock to it, even if only for a moment. The best ending is a "family portrait," where everything culminates in a beautiful conclusion. It's beautiful because such an ending is what we pursue in reality but can never achieve, so we grasp this beauty in our dreams. But precisely because it's so beautiful, we are fundamentally certain that it is indeed a dream, beautiful but unattainable. Those things that lie between good and bad often appear more real, containing both the beauty that transcends reality—miracles—and the cruelty/truth of reality—the price to pay. The ending of *The Mysterious Miss's Last Tale* is perhaps more realistic than a dream, yet more beautiful than a fantasy. Our protagonist saves the world, but at the cost of losing all her memories—not perfect, but not bad either. Then the story ends, which I personally find a bit abrupt. If described as a function, it's inherently discontinuous and lacks desirable properties. Hence, there's a sense of regret. This regret brings a feeling of loss, so I hope the author will write some side stories. Perhaps this is a crucial function of side stories—the author occasionally adds side stories, making up for the regrets while also telling readers, in a more 'objective' way, that the story isn't over (or giving readers the illusion that the story isn't over). This feeling is something that simply leaving suspense/room for imagination in the "final chapter" cannot achieve. On the other hand, I don't like this ending because of my biased view of memory. I think memory is a fundamental attribute of a person, and a person is composed of their memory and personality. Therefore, in my eyes, amnesia also means the death of a person, so I also hate the amnesia ending (although the author explained that it was a deep sleep rather than amnesia). In conclusion, this book tells a great story! It's just a little disappointing because it's not perfect (sob sob), but then again, what story has a truly satisfying ending? I wish the story could go on forever (maybe that's a bit greedy). The cat's writing is great, and I'm also following the new book, so please update the extra chapters soon! #(Cute emoji)

The ending has a similar feel to the world of Arknights.
