On February 28th, the editor informed me that it will be on the shelves tomorrow. Although I was mentally prepared, when I saw this notification, I still had a sense of unreality. Looking back in surprise, it turned out that the book was more than 700,000 words, and it had been exactly half a year since it was first uploaded on August 24. Thinking about the journey of half a year, the feeling in my heart...... Hey, it's weird.

It's not the first time I've written a novel, as early as '02, I wrote a book that lasted less than 500,000 words, and I ended up dying because of changes in my personal life.

Although the difficulty has been reduced, I feel that the psychological pressure has become greater, after all, more than ten years ago, it was just a nonsense in the nature of playing tickets, and I was not mentally prepared to stick to it all the time. This time is different, when I wrote this time, I already knew what responsibility is and what it means to have a beginning and an end, so this time I am ready to insist on writing it and tell the story in my heart to every friend I like, so as to repay my friends for their support and encouragement.

Actually, I didn't understand what the shelf testimonial should say at all, so I said a lot of nonsense that I didn't understand. But, no matter what, everyone's path is different, so the style of everyone's shelf testimonials should also be different, and my shelf testimonials just happen to be this kind of incomprehensible style, En, whether you believe it or not, anyway, I didn't believe it.

Okay, don't talk nonsense, first, thank me for being the editor of the loach, for working hard to bear all my nonsense and all kinds of idiot problems, and at the same time take the trouble to solve my doubts, believe me, if I changed to your position, I would have thrown a second-class author like me into the blacklist. Second, thank you for giving me such a platform to share my story with everyone. Third, thank you to every reader, maybe you don't know, I pay attention to every one of your comments and suggestions and every book review, your support and encouragement touch my heart, let me have more courage to go through this journey.

Finally, there are a few people, more than ten years, you have not forgotten me, have been waiting for me to come back, for you, I really don't know what to say, I feel that all the words are pale, maybe only more dedicated to writing the article is the appropriate reward for you. I don't know if you are willing to continue to walk with me in the future? Believe me, I will not irresponsibly leave you halfway like before.
