Ok basically Maruyama is writing a short story for Evileye which is coming with a blueray. Also he has a full time job. Writing is a hobby. As of now, the scheduled release is Early 2019, but it will probably be pushed back.
I found this just now, been loving listening to it while playing games. I can only play games that need minimal focus though, the story is good. I knew the story was good but didn't realize how good the writing was until I had it read to me.
Expecting 1 volume per year from now on, if Maruyama Kugane-sensei writing like that. I mean....it's a "Light" novel, but he wrote 574 pages for the latest volume....that's ALMOST Twice that length of a Normal Light Novel(around 300+ pages). He basically written 2 volumes worth of contents. And it was also the time when the Anime came out, so he was busy enough already. ^ That's one successful hobby indeed
I thought that Maruyama quit his salaryman job and writes full time now. There are a lot of famous writers who only wrote part time. Even at the height of their careers, writers like Mark Twain had to release other kinds of writing to pay the bills. In a reversal, Jin Yong was a journalist and editor who had to write fiction to keep his newspaper afloat.
