JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 107, Volume 1 Conclusion

The first volume is finished; to be honest, it was finished very quickly.

But this is only the beginning of the book, as I said, it is a long novel expected to be a million words long.

Those of you who have made it this far are truly my supporters.

Thank you all for your company and support. I would like to say a few words here. If you don't like them, you can skip them. It's okay.

--------

About the contents of this book.

The first volume, titled "Perfect Creatures," primarily serves to establish the worldview.

Volume Two is the most important part of this book, which I have named the Conflict of the Four Realms.

In this volume, Qiao Zhou will encounter more people and things, and will gradually grow.

Some readers have commented that the main character's presence is too weak.

Actually, this was something I did intentionally.

I don't necessarily want to write an ensemble piece, but I also don't want the main character to shoulder too much responsibility so early on.

He's just an ordinary person; there's nothing he can do but work hard.

So many people, each with their own story.

Instead of focusing on a fledgling bird, let's look up at the sky.

That's the key point of the story.

He is the protagonist, but he is also just a person.

What we see are countless people.

--------

About the plot.

Plot holes are unavoidable, please forgive me.

No one can write a novel just by having a sudden flash of inspiration. I look up to everyone's support, which gives me the motivation to create.

This is a heavily modified version of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure universe, but all the original characters who are supposed to appear will be there.

The expected storyline will also be included.

Many times, the plot unfolds at a fast pace, like in the first volume, but there are also slice-of-life moments.

However, the frequency of new Stands appearing is usually not as frequent as in the first volume.

Especially during the Morioh crisis and the final battle, all sorts of Stands suddenly appeared, sometimes several in a single chapter.

Later on, I tried to slow down the pace, since writing too fast is not good, and I also focused on writing about the characters' traits and background plot.

The short stories in the hundred or so chapters are preparations for the Four Realms Conflict arc, and most of them will be mentioned later.

Besides these, there are some that haven't been written out separately, such as the [Magic Rock] mentioned earlier, which will be discussed later.

In short, there is a lot to write.

The four lines of poetry in the introduction represent the four volumes of this book.

"A new era begins for the world" refers to the events of the first volume, which depicts the defeat of Kars and the beginning of a new era.

"The mighty army is revealed amidst the storms and upheavals" refers to the second volume.

By the way, let me explain that prophecy and the meaning of the twenty-two Major Arcana cards.

Let's proceed in the order of the twenty-two cards.

The content in parentheses is the meaning of each tarot card, which also corresponds to the prophecy.

"The Fool" — Moni Parker

"The Magician" (Creation) - Qiao Zhou

"The Priestess" (Wisdom) - Gu Feng

"Empress" (Harvest) - Strategist

"Emperor" (Dominion) - Joseph Joestar

"The Pope" (Aid) - [Organization B]

"Lovers" (Union) - Fu Yao

"Chariot" (Victory) - Insect Arrow

"Power" (Willpower) - Jotaro Kujo

"The Hermit" (Exploration) - Weather Forecast

"The Wheel of Fortune" (Reincarnation) - Yoshikage Kira

"Justice" (Fairness) - Rohan Kishibe

"The Hanged Man" (Sacrifice) - Secret Weapon

"Death" (The End) - Requiem

"Moderation" (Purification) - MC Sensitive

"Demon" (Temptation) - Li Chen's "Anubis"

"Tower" (Destruction) - "Bite the Dust"

"Stars" (Hope) - Xie Wuluan

"The Moon" (unease) - Wamuu

"Sun" (Life) - Esidisi

"Judgment" (Resurrection) - This War

"World" (achieved) - Katz

That's about it.

Regarding combat strength.

While power levels can sometimes be difficult to avoid, in a unique single-genre world like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it's more about strategic battles and counter-relationships.

Sometimes what seems like a plot breakdown is actually quite logical.

For example, Trinidad Franco Juan from "The Ten Gods" has the Stand "The Creator".

He is a prime example.

Juan could suppress both Yoshikage Kira and Katsuki Nakajima at the same time, but he was instantly killed by Li Chenzhi.

This does not mean that Li Chenzhi's strength is far superior to Kira Yoshikage's, but rather that the "Creator" is a counter to the "Killer Queen".

Another typical example is "Bloody Mary," a functional Stand with virtually no combat ability, yet it was the key to defeating "Tat-Tat-Tat."

The "Ten Gods' Servants," the Supreme Sheriff, and Black Nursery Rhyme—these people are all roughly equal in strength.

Rohan Kishibe, Jotaro, Shinobu Ran, and Yoshikage Kira, all members of the eight-person team, possess strength at the level of a divine servant.

People like Master Gan and Li Chenzhi have already surpassed the strength of ordinary divine servants.

Katz's three stand-ins are all based on songs by Luo Tianyi.

Both "Doomsday Disco" and "Tomorrow Disco" are Stands with power comparable to Requiem.

The actual ability of "Tomorrow's Disco" is to influence the range of the apocalyptic power based on the form of Kars' death.

The bosses that appear later may not be stronger than Kars, but they will definitely be very troublesome.

Then the protagonist's combat power will increase later.

Some readers might speculate on how growth potential A will develop.

First of all, he is at least a main character. Other aspects can be lackluster, but his growth potential should at least be rated A.

Then there's the meaning of this A, which is mainly related to the abilities of a "storyteller".

The "Storyteller" can collect a large number of Stand abilities, so his potential for growth is naturally high.

As for whether there will be ACT.2 and ACT.3.

And like "White Snake" and "Killer Queen", it evolved into a new Stand.

Stay tuned, everyone. I don't have any specific ideas yet, but I might come up with something in the future.

Regarding the ubiquitous use of memes and tributes.

Well, that's just who I am.

I enjoy using internet memes and paying homage to my favorite works in my own creations.

Anime, comics, novels, music, and short videos.

I'm a bit of a homebody, but I have some knowledge of many things.

Let's just say there will be more in the future.

Actually, I didn't originally intend to include so much material in the first volume.

But as I wrote, it started to flow smoothly.

If you are not used to this writing style, then I apologize in advance.

Because there will be many more of these kinds of frivolous (and terrible) things to come.

I previously paid homage to two fanfiction works on the same platform around chapter 100: the one by Iman and the one by Araki.

Those were the two best JoJo fanfics I've ever seen on Tomato.

Of course, this is very subjective, and I'm not used to reading unfinished books, so please don't criticize if you don't like it.

Those who are interested can search for it. I've put the book title and author information in the comments at the end of each chapter.

And then there's my idol, Teacher Three Days Two Sleeps, whom I've paid tribute to countless times. I won't go into details here due to certain platform reasons.

Also, if any of the jokes I made offended you, I apologize again.

Regarding the Stool Worship Cult.

For details, please refer to (Post 8) and (WeChat Official Account).

Same name, searchable.

--------

About music.

All the music titles that appeared before, except for some members of Black Nursery Rhymes, came from my playlist. Music lovers can search for them.

The music styles are very diverse; I don't know if everyone can accept them.

If we like the same music, then we can be considered friends.

That's about it. If you've read this far, I'm very grateful.
