Now, let's move on to the author's note section.
As a new author, the success of this book has been beyond my expectations—it's been explosive, even making it to the "" recommendation list. It feels like a dream.
When I first started writing this book, neither my friends in the writing group nor my editor were particularly optimistic about it. After all, Harry Potter fanfics are considered a bit oversaturated (there are just too many, and they tend to feel repetitive). Plus, I had no prior experience in this genre.
I was really nervous when I started writing the early chapters, but as more and more readers joined in, my confidence grew. My back doesn't ache anymore, my legs don't hurt, and I've even started speaking with more authority.
Now, let's move on to the Q&A section from the reader group.
**Q1: Will this book remain without a female lead or romantic pairing (CP)?**
**A:** Yes, unless the term "CP" includes pets with no intimate interactions, there will be no romantic pairings in Cohn's story.
**Q2: Can you post 20 chapters in one day for the release?**
**A:** The Ministry of Magic would accuse me of abusing Time-Turners—wait, someone's knocking on my door… they're here to check my water meter…
**Q3: Will Cohn fall in love with a female Dementor? Will there be Dementor play?**
**A:** First of all, Dementors don't seem to have genders. Secondly, humans shouldn't—at the very least, they really shouldn't… Bro, you belong in the "Azkaban Annex" group chat. You need redemption more than any dark wizard. (But if you really, really want to see it…)
**Q4 (from a comment that mysteriously disappeared):** I couldn't even get through one chapter. It's all self-indulgent nonsense. Just stop writing; it's trash.
**A:** If I stop writing, I'll starve. Food, please—
Next up is the "Choose Your Path" section. Your choices will influence the future branching storylines of this book (maybe).
**Option 1:** Screw the Ministry of Magic! I want to see Cohn purge the bureaucratic class! Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!!!
**Option 2:** I want to see Dementors in love, holding hands… sob, it's so touching…
**Option 3:** If, and I mean if… we use a magical magnetic field to block another magical magnetic field, could Cohn research modern technology at Hogwarts?
**Option 4:** Hogwarts' toilets are too primitive. The magical world urgently needs magical smart toilets. Imagine the excitement—a talking toilet!
**Option 5:** I want to see Cohn's Dementor Empire. I won't do anything about it.
**Option 6:** I want to see Cohn get intimate with magical creatures. Same as above, I won't do anything about it (Option 6 has been executed by firing squad).
**Option 7:** Seven is a magical number, so this ad space is for rent ()—
**"You Literally Can't Read, Can You?"**
**"The Top Star's Persona Collapsed: What's This Global Craze?"**
**"Since My Heroic Spirits Won't Drop, I'll Do It Myself"**
**"Hogwarts and the Evil Thoughts of the Lamp Genie"**
**"Who Calls a Blue Fist a Priest?!"**
**"After Dropping Out of Hogwarts, I Gave Speeches in Taverns"**
**"Hogwarts: I, Quirrell, Really Didn't Plan to Be a Dark Lord"**
All hard work and connections—this is what it means to be the social king of the web novel world.
Alright, time to get back to writing.
