May 2026 [Weekly Review Note] Week 4 Review, currently in a 'plateau' state😐

I write a weekly review note every Saturday to look back on the past week.

I will present my analysis while comparing it with last week😺

I hope there is something here that might be a hint for you as well, since you stopped by😸

If you are feeling frustrated because your numbers didn't grow this week, please at least take away this way of thinking.

Weekly Data

Monthly Data

PV, Review, and Analysis

First, regarding the weekly data.

Was last week just exceptionally good after all...

Down from 5,000 weekly views to the high 3,000s...

I have an idea of why it dropped.

It is because the frequency of interaction decreased compared to during Golden Week.

Interacting with other followers while working my main job might be what it all comes down to from here on out.

Regarding monthly data.

Surpassed 18,000 views for the first time❗

If things keep going at this pace, exceeding 20,000 views is not just a dream.

However, since monthly data reflects numbers with a delay when weekly views drop, I expect it will dip next week...

Introducing creators who caught my eye this week

The creator I want to introduce this week is Ayumu Sekai.

The first thing I felt when looking at Ayumu Sekai's note is that they are a person who lives life like an experiment, transforming the process into excitement and sharing it with others.

I got the impression that while keeping a long-running list of things they want to do, they honestly put into words the things they have challenged, achieved, and felt along the way.

It's not just about being positive; I feel their unique character in the reality of having moved their life forward little by little, overcoming experiences of social withdrawal and illness.

Also, their proactive approach to things like AI manga production, Kindle publishing, and collaboration projects, as well as their ability to take what they think of and turn it into reality, is charming.

From their attitude of not just ending with their own challenges but also introducing and supporting other creators, I felt that they are someone who enjoys connecting with people within note.

Overall, my impression is that they are an action-experiment-type creator who shares their life's fresh starts and challenges by turning them into their own unique brand of excitement.

Ayumu Sekai, looking at your articles, I felt like my 'world' was changing little by little.

I can't put it well, but you are practicing new things that aren't bound by the status quo, and I was inspired by that too.

Like turning your self-introduction into a rap, or expressing the Ryujin you are indebted to in a way of thinking I don't have...

It served as a catalyst to expand my 'narrow world'.

I pride myself on having a fast initial pace, but in other words, it means executing things with quick action.

I'd love to collaborate and have fun someday😸

Please continue to be good friends with me😺

Things I realized looking back on this week and actions for next week

To start with the conclusion, my weekly view count has decreased, partly because my interactions have dropped a bit.

But, I'm not worried about the numbers right now.

It's just a metric, but if it drops too much, I start to feel a sense of crisis, so I want to continue interacting.

As for my next action, I want to solidify my foundation, so if possible, I'd like to engage in the same level of interaction I had during Golden Week.

There is one more thing, though it's still undecided, I want to announce my participation in the Creative Awards 2026.

Although I participated in last year's Creative Awards 2025, my work ended up being half-baked, and of course, I didn't win.

This time, even if it's a short story, I want to see it through to completion.

I love fantasy, so I want to bring it to life and deliver it to many readers.

And,I want to cherish the interactions that spread from there even more❗

Well, there are many things to think about, but taking on challenges is essential for everything, so let's just give it a try first!

I believe that if you fail, it's important to accept that fact and decide how to act next🙂

If you felt anything, please let me know in the comments, even if it's just a word.
