Apology

Dear book friends, I haven’t seen you for half a year and I miss you so much.

I wonder if your studies and career are going well, and whether your expectations for life have been fulfilled.

We run between family, school, and work, busy in reality, and then return to this resting place to let our souls drift in the waves of stories.

I'm sorry that Li Ran's story is still going on, but the author no longer has the ability to finish it in a short time.

There is no other reason. The book "The Rise of Lords" was the author's original intention to write a grand electronic epic. At present, it seems that completing this goal still requires unimaginable efforts.

Some book friends may be able to feel that the current plot of this book has not yet unfolded the real main line. What will ultimately be discussed includes serious propositions such as the relationship between humans and AI, and the impact of the coming metaverse era.

The author has been thinking about these issues since he was in college, and has always wanted to depict them through stories, trying to get a glimpse of the future.

However, during the author's creative process, CHATGPT appeared, and Apple's new AR glasses were also launched.

The exciting era of virtual reality seems to be getting closer.

But this originally ambitious book faced difficulties.

I have written a book of 700,000 words so far. I have not ensured the quality of the writing and have not received perfect attendance. My income is only 2,000 yuan.

In the past six months, the author has been seconded to a higher-level unit and his daughter has turned one year old. It can be said that his energy and time have been completely occupied by family and work.

My ideals and strength can still support me to continue writing.

But I can’t lower the quality of my work for the sake of writing, I can only use my spare time to create.

My conscience doesn't allow me to make my family pay more.

There was once a story about two painters who wanted to realize their artistic ideals. One of them had to go out to work and earn money. In the end, the supported painter became famous, while the other self-sacrificing painter had calluses on his hands.

I can't wait until my wife has calluses on her hands and a weathered face to get results.

I have to give them hope in life and make them believe that their efforts are worth it.

Only in this way can I continue on the road of thinking and creating, and not owe my family or my own job.

This is my only option.

So I'm sorry, but the book "Rise of the Lords" may have to be discontinued for a long time.

But when conditions permit, the author will definitely complete it.

The subsequent outline and even the detailed outline of the book are complete, and all it requires is a lot of time and effort.

To sum up, the author will try to release a new book next, and due to certain considerations, the new book may also be released on a small account.

And if the actual conditions do not allow it and the new book cannot be written, it is possible that the author is forced to give up writing (of course, I will give up after finishing the book)...

The author broke his promise and has no shame in asking everyone to support him again. Feel free to scold him if you want. This is what an incompetent author deserves.

Life is short, but our dreams are so distant and long.

Here again, I sincerely wish all book friends a smooth life and your ideals will come true.

May we meet again by chance.
