Okay everyone, as the new handler of my cousin's account, here's my announcement. First of all, I want to thank you for being here and supporting the works that have been published under this name so far. My cousin has been busy with his academic life, and as much as he would love to continue writing consistently, his focus has to remain on his studies for now. Since writing and storytelling are passions we both share, he entrusted me with this account so that it won't fall silent while he's away. I know this is a big responsibility, but I'm also excited to take it on because this space means a lot, not just to him but to me as well. I might, from time to time, peek at his drafts and see whether I can continue some of his works in a way that respects his voice and ideas, but for the moment, I'll mainly be publishing new stories of my own. I hope you welcome me the same way you supported him, because at the heart of it, we share the same love for creativity, world-building, and character-driven storytelling.
Now, here's the fun part—my first work on this account. With the conclusion of the Greatest Estate Developer manhwa, I felt inspired to carry forward the spirit of clever estate-building, innovation, and strategy in a fantasy world. That manhwa left such a strong impression on me, and while I don't intend to copy it, I want to reimagine that same spirit through a different lens. This new story is my own original reimagining, inspired by The Greatest Estate Developer, but told through the unique perspective of a female lead villainess who is reborn not just with the sharp mind and skills of an architect, but also with the unexpected passion of a budding swordswoman. I want to explore how someone who is initially labeled as the "villainess" of her world can turn the tables using knowledge, wit, and a love for design, while also finding empowerment in a craft she never thought she'd pursue—swordsmanship. It's going to be a story that mixes strategy, growth, humor, and heart, and I can't wait to share it with all of you.
This will be the start of a new chapter for the account. While my cousin's works will always remain here as the foundation, I hope my contributions can add something fresh and exciting to the community he built. Thank you for reading this long message, thank you for your patience with this transition, and most importantly, thank you for sticking around to see what comes next. Let's move forward together with stories worth remembering.
