Update: To my faithful friend
Well, inevitably a little more sentimental. I can expect someone to sneer at you later, but I'm not going to pay any more attention to these people.
Mr. Lu Xun summed it up nearly a century ago: "When a soldier dies, the first thing the flies find is his shortcomings and scars. But the warriors are dead, and they will no longer come and wield them. So the flies cried out even more in their camps, thinking themselves immortal voices, for their safety was far above the warriors. Indeed, no one has ever seen the shortcomings and traumas of the flies. However, a warrior with flaws is a warrior after all, and a perfect fly is nothing but a fly after all. ”
In the past, when the Internet was not very developed, a small village with only a few dozen people could have different opinions and quarrel and slander behind the scenes. In today's era when the Internet is accessible to the whole world, there is almost no threshold, and anyone from any background and personality can speak freely.
I can't please everyone.
So no matter how I write, no matter what I do, there will always be people who don't like it.
Then let them be.
I'm still with you, so that's enough.
It's been more than a year since I wrote this book, and in two months, it's been two years.
There are less than 200 readers who have faithfully loved this story.
I've done a lot of things in the past and now. For example, after the start of the coin giveaway, he called for not using the coin to hurt the author, such as not looking at piracy, etc., in my opinion, there should be no fault in the move.
But none of this worked, and it only provoked more attacks from the angry.
I have wasted so much mind and so much energy and time on these things that the most important thing is to tell the story well and not be able to do it consistently, and I must apologize to my friends for that.
I always lacked self-confidence, so when things didn't go well and the attackers showed up repeatedly, I always fell into the illusion that I was alone, that no one liked the work anymore, that I didn't have a loyal reader.
It's not fair to you.
The book I wrote is the type of book that is suitable for quiet reading, and if it attracts readers, it is natural that it is not so good at expressing people. In this way, it is natural that the only people who speak more are those who read books roughly, jump on their feet, or deliberately wear colored glasses to bully and scold in order to show that they are different.
You're silent, but you're still there, and I've always forgotten that.
Thank you to these 180 reader friends who will subscribe immediately every time I update.
The automatic subscription you have started is a great relief to me.
And all these words I have to say to you are exactly what I am saying.
First of all, it's about the update.
I haven't been updating very often lately, but it's not because of the bleak situation. (I'm already out of hope for this)
It's that I'm revising, tinkering, the whole worldview, the timeline.
As you know. I want to dedicate as much as possible to you a complete world, where the wind blows on your face, where the air smells when you breathe, where the grass comes, where the trees come, where the birds and animals fly.
People here.
People.
So I've been in the process of writing a lot of details, and I'm constantly filling them in.
But that's not all.
Recently, the plot has been sorted out, and the entire overall context and timeline have been sorted out, and the outline of the next part of the book has also become clear.
There are still about 20% of this volume to be completed, and then two more volumes will come to an end.
Then, I'll start a new book (that's what I've been planning to do lately).
This new book is still fantastical.
It's out of this world.
Continuation.
This book is about the germ of magic.
And 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 with historical precipitation and the development of the times. Unlike many other fantasy worlds, where the level of technology has not been shaken for thousands of years, what I want to tell is a story in the course of history, a story written by people, as I have said in other related fields before.
And when this story ends, the next one begins.
You're going to see a lot of paradoxical details.
This is an easter egg for you, my faithful readers, and for myself.
Details that only the sages and maidens who accompany us all the way to the end of the journey can understand, bits and pieces, although almost only in the next story, will leave you with a lot of memories - I want to write such a story.
It's like you're reunited after a long absence, and you're already in your hometown.
There are many details that you have experienced, and many flowers and trees that you have seen.
It's a place you're familiar with, but it's no longer what it used to be, but because of it, it's what makes people think about it and have a tearful feeling.
There is still some time before the next story arrives, and after finishing this paragraph, I expect to pause the update for a long time, save up the manuscript, and speed up the update. The expected recovery time will be around mid-December, but it depends on whether the plot is handled smoothly.
I don't know how many of the 180 faithful readers have been with us since the beginning of the book.
I just hope that when the next book begins, I'll still be able to see you.
It would be a new story, a separate story, but still relevant to the story it is today.
There are so many things that only we can understand.
Only those who have come along the way can understand.
It seems to have a deep meaning behind the name of a place that people are accustomed to.
It's like a song that people sing from mouth to mouth, and it's a legend that has been widely circulated.
I won't go into too much detail about these, they are the precipitation of a long history that will exist 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 worldview, but only you and I can understand it.
It's not just about the setting.
It's history, it's legend, but it's not just history and legend.
Because you and I have witnessed and experienced this history with our own eyes.
Because when this legend was born, we were here and now.
Because of the story.
Close contact with you and me.
So please continue to walk with me who can't make it, and walk together to the end of this journey.
Friend.
