It’ll be on the shelves at 8 o’clock tonight, okay!
It’s finally on the shelves, it’s not easy.
First of all, I would like to thank my editor, Mr. Qilin, for updating this book, and for helping me get a recommendation for a new book. I have no other way to express my gratitude. I can only perform well and type well after it is put on the shelf.
It has been really difficult to write this book. I haven’t written a book for almost a year. I don’t understand many rules. I don’t even know that new books will be added to the library after the book is published. I am missing a recommendation. I don’t know if I am going to test the waters now. Watching and reading, I have been waiting hard to test the waters.
As a veteran, opening a book is no different from that of a newbie. In the weeks before the recommendation, there were very few daily collections, recommendation votes, and comments. Every time I opened the Writer Assistant, there was no movement.
Those days were really difficult. In order to avoid affecting my mood, I uninstalled Writer's Assistant and stopped looking at the background. In order to encourage myself, I changed the title of the first volume several times to "The Road Is Difficult" and "It's Hard to Travel". "The road in the world is difficult" and so on, but no one noticed.
However, I have always believed that I can write this book well and will get better and better as I write it. I think about the plot seriously every day, write detailed outlines, and collect various materials. I have never thought about giving up.
Still, it's difficult.
This is my first serious writing about Xianxia. I have written a few beginnings before, but I couldn’t even sign the contract. This time I finally finished the draft, but I don’t understand the routine. I got the outline and details right, but I made another mistake when I actually wrote it. , revised over and over again, pushed over and over again, and got stuck almost every day, so even after it was recommended, the update was very slow.
With a new book issue like mine, I probably won’t be able to find another one.
Fortunately, no matter how difficult it was, I persevered and tried my best not to miss a day.
Let’s talk about books.
I have certain ambitions for this book. As mentioned in the introduction, I want to depict a vast, prosperous, bizarre and magical world.
Here gods, ghosts and demons coexist, and three religions and hundreds of schools of thought contend. I want to write about Confucianism, about Buddhism, about Mohists, about legalists, about military strategists, about farmers, about doctors, about rangers, about hermits, about geniuses, about beauties... ...write about gods, ghosts, demons, and demons.
But all in all, it’s about writing about people.
Immortal monks, secular world, common people... all kinds of people, they live in my heart, and I hope they can live in the book.
Maybe due to limited writing power and lack of knowledge, I cannot do it perfectly, especially the part about the contention of the three religions and a hundred schools of thought, but I will try my best to write about Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, Dharma, monks, agriculture, medicine, Zongheng, Yin and Yang in my heart Waiting for hundreds of people.
I hope I can keep my original intention and write out the heroic spirit and fairy tale style in my heart.
About the plot.
Let me explain first. Many people have objections to the Donghua Mountain Divine Lord's vow to become a Taoist couple. In fact, I have seen it all.
The reason why I wrote it this way is very simple, because the book was originally called "Read Ten Thousand Volumes and Become a Divine Master and Taoist Companion". In order not to sell dogs on sheep's heads, I wrote such a plot. In order not to be so far-fetched, I also deliberately It was set up that the male protagonist did not know about it. It was unilaterally done by the God of Donghua Mountain and had nothing to do with Li Chang.
Later, the title of the book was changed, but I couldn't change it even if I didn't, because the Lord of Donghua Mountain, as the number one person in the Beizhi Gezhou Shinto, must have a reason for making such an oath.
And this reason is also related to the main plot (I can’t say more, otherwise it will be a spoiler).
So this will not change.
There are also many people who complain about the name of the male protagonist. The name Li is taken from Mencius's "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I am going away", and the teacher's "All are gone, count the famous people, but look at the present".
This name is related to the hero’s final path.
So I think this name is very good and wonderful, and I won’t accept any objection (laughing).
There are also many readers who are worried that this book will collapse. In fact, it almost collapsed, but it was not because of the realm, but because there were a lot of characters designed in the copy of Linggui Xiaodongtian at the beginning. I almost couldn't write it, and I made a lot of subtractions. , and then I slowly smoothed it out, and I think the final effect is pretty good (please raise your hands if you agree!)
Regarding the realm combat power, I am very grateful for everyone's reminder. I really didn't realize it before, because in my outline and mind, I thought about a lot of big plots above the ten realms, so I ignored the current realm.
But in my opinion, since Xie Jiashu is already in the seventh realm, as Hanshan's two prides, the male protagonist must not be weaker than him. In addition, with the setting of "thirty old and seventh realm, fifty young swordsman", I dare not I guarantee that it will not collapse in the future, but within one million words, it probably won’t collapse.
After one million words, the male protagonist will be almost above the tenth realm. There will be more bosses at that time, so it should be okay.
Therefore, I am still relatively confident in myself and this book. I hope that everyone will believe in me and remember to remind me more.
Finally, regarding the update, I haven’t saved a single word in the manuscript, but when it is put on the shelf, I must be able to write it well, otherwise I will be sorry for your money.
I don’t dare to say more. If I say too much, I can’t do it, and my face will hurt.
After being put on the shelves, I guarantee that I will write four thousand words per day (after all, I have to get perfect attendance), and I will try my best to write and update as much as possible to live up to the expectations of readers. In addition, you are welcome to urge me to update (can't close the blade?)
Last but not least, please make your first order! ! !
I now have a collection of 20,000, and I hope to have 1,500 first subscriptions (1:14). If I can achieve that, I will try to update no less than 6,000 words every day in the first two months, and more will be considered explosive.
That's it, hmm!
Nanguo bows his head!
