Well, it’s inevitable to be sentimental again. It is foreseeable that some people will be sarcastic and sarcastic later, but I will not pay attention to these people anymore.
Mr. Lu Xun summed it up nearly a century ago: "When a soldier dies, the first thing flies notice are his shortcomings and scars. They squawk and squawk, feeling proud and thinking he is more heroic than the dead soldier. But The soldiers were dead and no longer came to fight them off. So the flies started to chirp, thinking that it was an immortal sound, because their safety was far above the soldiers. Indeed, no one had noticed The flaws and wounds of flies. However, a warrior with flaws is still a warrior, and a perfect fly is just a fly."
In the past, when the Internet was not very developed, a small village with only a few dozen people could have various opinions, quarrel, and backbiting. In today's era where the Internet has spread all over the world, there is almost no threshold for anyone of any origin and personality to speak freely.
I certainly can't please everyone.
So no matter how I write, no matter how I do it, some people will find it unpleasant.
Then let them be.
I still have you here, so that's enough.
It has been more than a year since I wrote this book, and in two months it will be two years.
There are less than 200 readers who have loved this story faithfully.
I have done many things from the past to the present. For example, after the coin donation activity started, I urged not to use the gift coins to harm the author, such as not to read pirated copies, etc. In my opinion, there should be no wrong behavior.
But these were ineffective and only provoked more attacks from angry people.
I wasted too much energy, energy and time on these things, so that the most important thing, telling stories well, was not able to be done stably. For this, I must apologize to all my friends.
I have always lacked self-confidence, so when things didn't go well and attackers appeared frequently, I always fell into the illusion that I was alone, that no one liked the work anymore, that I had no loyal readers.
This is unfair to you.
The book I wrote is suitable for quiet reading, and the readers it attracts are naturally people who are not very expressive. As a result, the only ones who speak more naturally are those who read casually and then jump on their feet, or deliberately bully and curse with colored glasses to show that they are different.
Although you are silent, you are still there, and I always forget that.
Thank you to these 180 readers who subscribe immediately every time I update.
The automatic subscription you turned on is a huge relief to me.
And what I say next is exactly what I say to you.
First, there's the update thing.
My updates haven't been very frequent lately, but that's not because things are bleak. (I have given up hope on this)
Rather, I am revising and completing the entire worldview and timeline.
As you know. I want to dedicate to you a complete world as much as possible, the feeling of the wind here on your face, the smell of the air here, the grass here, the trees here, the birds and animals here.
The people here.
people.
So I have been completing many details during the writing process.
But that's not all.
After recently sorting out the plot and sorting out the overall context and timeline, the outline of the rest of the book has become clear.
This volume is still about 20% complete, and after two more volumes, the story will come to an end.
Then, I will open a new book (this is what I am currently planning to write about setting)
This new book is still fantasy.
It's of this world.
continue.
This book is about the beginnings of magic.
The next book is when it is at its peak, and it can even be said that it has begun to decline.
What I want to create is a worldview that has historical precipitation and the development of the times. Unlike many other fantasy stories where the technological level of the world has stagnated for thousands of years without wavering, what I want to tell you, as I have said before in other related articles, is a story in the course of history, a story written by people.
And when this story ends and the next one begins.
You will see many specious details.
This is an Easter egg I give to you, my loyal readers, and to myself.
Only the companions who accompany our sage and girl to the end of the journey can understand the details, bit by bit, although they are almost passed by in the next story, but they will make you have endless aftertaste - I want to write such a story .
It is like a hometown where things have changed and people have changed when you meet again after a long absence.
There are many details here that you have experienced before, and many flowers, plants and trees you have seen before.
This is a place you are familiar with, but it is no longer what it used to be, but it is also because of this that it makes people think about it carefully, with a feeling of tears in their eyes.
There will still be some time before the next story arrives. After finishing this chapter, I plan to take a long break from updating, save up my manuscripts, and speed up the updating. The estimated recovery time will be around mid-December, but the details will depend on whether the plot is handled smoothly.
I don’t know how many of the 180 readers who have followed me faithfully have been with me since the beginning of this book.
I just hope I can still see you when the next book starts.
It would be a new story, a separate story, but still connected to the current story.
There are many things that only we can understand.
Only partners who have been along the way can understand.
Like the profound meaning behind the name of a place that people are accustomed to.
Like ballads sung by people orally, legends spread widely.
I won't go into too much detail about these, they are a long historical deposit that will be contained in the next book. They are a kind of blank space, a kind of explanation that seems to be used to deepen the depth of the world view, but only you and I understand it.
It's more than just settings.
It is history and legend, but it is more than just history and legend.
Because you and I have witnessed this history with our own eyes and experienced it personally.
Because we were here and now when this legend was born.
Because of this story.
Closely connected to you and me.
So please continue to accompany me, who is useless, to the end of this journey together.
Old friend.
