In fact, before I decided to write this book, I had a less than ideal expectation for the results of this book, and I also probably said this in "Before Writing a New Book", and I knew that the path I chose was not easy to take.

However, the results were still worse than I expected.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, practice has proven what a powerful force the trend is.

Those who go with the tide live, and those who go against the trend die.

In short, the blow is not small, and the benefits are good.

What is especially emotional is that the years are unforgiving.

If I could be ten years younger, if I hadn't been married or had children, no matter how difficult the road was, I would have walked at least another year, or even longer, and even hit the south wall and never looked back. But now I, a middle-aged man with old and young, and a new dad, are no longer qualified to be so willful.

In fact, now that I think about it, just a month after the child was born, he insisted on opening a new book, and rashly changed the subject matter to write fantasy, but he could only barely guarantee one change a day, which is capricious enough.

So now, I've decided to leave the book at that.

Not immediately, of course.

It's just that it won't continue to be recommended, and it won't be on the shelves in the future.

After consultation and communication with the editor, just now, I have taken the initiative to ask to be recommended from the Sanjiang list.

Each of the recommended locations at the starting point is important and expensive, and certainly shouldn't be left idle or wasted.

But then, I'm going to take a while to continue writing the book a little bit further down to at least the first part of the story.

The above is for myself.

Actually, I want to say more about the readers.

Especially the friends who have followed me all the way to the present.

I'm sorry!

This time, my practice ended in failure.

Friends who have been chasing books all the way, I know that you have accumulated a lot of emotions for this book and the characters in it, and you are eager for me to continue writing, but I have to say sorry to you.

But believe me, the pain in my heart must be far greater than yours.

A mature author, when others reach middle age, is still willing and dares to take an adventure, even if it is only three months and only 200,000 words, trying to write something different, but still fails, which probably means that he will not dare to take risks in the future.

Believe me, this is a very sad thing.

But the tide is so strong.

Knife farming is only a Chinese resource, and it is impossible to write something that more people like when going against the trend, and it is impossible to make enough rice to satisfy the stomach, so in the end, I can only choose to abort this adventure that seems to be a little stupid.

Everyone, I'm sorry!

Next, I will continue to write a little bit of "Moto-Hunting", and make a phased summary of the first short story, and then, the book will be over.

Then, I may take a short break, or I may not take a break and go straight to a new book.

I hope you don't resent me for the untimely death of this book, and I hope you can see you again when the new book is released.

Thank you all for your support along the way.
