	Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou was licensed by J-Novel Club (9/5/2017).		Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou was licensed by J-Novel Club (9/5/2017).


			The project was removed since J-Novel has already released the first part of their translation. Just a note, Rokujouma was a special case that had an agreement between the translator who posted to BT and the publisher; that's not the case here (at least as of a week ago), so this project follows the standard BT procedure. --[[User:Cthaeh\|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh\|talk]]) 15:12, 9 May 2017 (CEST)

			This is exactly how I understood it as well... which makes it pretty damn sad for Hiroshi. ;_;

			Also this kind of ending, IMHO, undermines all that happened in the story. All of Akuto's achievements, pain, suffering and happiness alike, all tossed into the bin.

	My personal, preferred, reading of this kind of twists things into a mobius pretzel, but is that this ENTIRE series that we read was written by Hiroshi, in the afterlife world. (While simultaneously being the character. Hence the pretzeling.) As such, he doesn't get an off-screen ending, and he becomes a Law of Identity through writing, creating, and controlling, the next story. ...This would probably be clearer if it wasn't 430 in the morning for me. -Venthus --[[Special:Contributions/75.140.7.38\|75.140.7.38]] 06:44, 20 August 2014 (CDT)		My personal, preferred, reading of this kind of twists things into a mobius pretzel, but is that this ENTIRE series that we read was written by Hiroshi, in the afterlife world.

	That seems like a pretty....sad ending. Was that the purpose? I mean compared to all the other volumes it just seems like a weird turn of events. I'm still trying to understand what happened as well. Are Akuto and the rest of the world actually dead? they said they were going to another universe but are they alive in that place? And I got really confused in chapter 5. (-[[User:Omegalock\|Omegalock]] ([[User talk:Omegalock\|talk]]) 21:23, 12 July 2014 (CDT))		That seems like a pretty....sad ending. Was that the purpose?

			It's a rather classic idea. Every story ends sometime, somehow, either with a conclusion of some kind, or even just the storyteller stopping. However, a "properly" closed story has certain conditions. Superman will never be able to sit down, retire, and take it easy because of how stories are. There's going to be some conflict that brings him back into the limelight, or he'll die in the process. This story resolves it, but part of the problem is that this style of ending intentionally is open ended and leaves a lot to interpretation, but here's my attempt...

			A and company escaped out of the story, to live on and do whatever-- elsewhere. Off-screen. Where, since they are no longer fettered by an author and audience, A's distaste of fictions can be shed, and a peaceful life obtained. (Sophie's World, effectively a novel-length primer on philosophy, covers this idea.)

			Chapter 5 is narrated by Hiroshi in a constructed world. Akuto sought a way to resolve the story, but you can't exactly do so from inside the story... So Hiroshi became the author of a story called Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou, in that world, and gave it a conclusion.

Hiroshi will become the next person to create another story. It won't be Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou anymore. It will be an entirely new story.
