【Talk about your thoughts】

How should I put it, mostly complicated emotions.

I put so much effort into this book, much more than the first one.

For the first book, my requirement for myself was to “practice my writing” and I didn’t need to consider anything else.

For the second book, I will have additional requirements, such as profit.

But unfortunately, I tried hard to avoid some of the mistakes I made in the previous book, but unexpectedly made some other mistakes.

For example, the previously criticized slow pace.

I thought about it and it was indeed my problem.

The world background I conceived is too vast, with different powers and powers combined with different spirits to form different systems.

Such a setting certainly has its advantages.

In fact, the vast majority of readers who pass by will comment on the interesting setting.

Including myself, if I didn’t particularly like this setting and at the same time break through the impression left by the conventional beast-control style, I would not choose such a structure at all.

When I first conceived the idea, I thought about some of the difficult aspects of this setting.

For example, because authority governs the choice of spirits, no matter what, we have to spend a lot of time introducing different authorities to highlight the richness of the world.

But as a beast-bending novel, the importance of pet beasts should occupy an absolute majority.

Writing about the authority and diverting the writing means deviating from the topic to some extent.

This is a drawback.

A big hole.

Even if I think of ways to improve it, I would try to connect my authority with the spirits as much as possible.

In this subject matter, this is still a drawback. If you are not careful, you may reverse the priorities.

I need to maintain balance.

But I obviously didn’t do a good enough job, failed to suppress this shortcoming as expected, and let it appear in the most important new book issue.

This will lead to an increase in redundant parts, a slow progression of the plot, and the disengagement of some readers who were originally interested in the setting.

To describe it in simpler terms, the setting may be a good setting, which can make people's eyes brighter.

But as an author, I don’t have enough matching ability to control it steadily.

I have been thinking about this issue, and later I felt that maybe a considerable part of the reason could be attributed to wrong choices.

Maybe let the protagonist start with a different identity, such as an identity with less information, and then explore the world step by step, understand a little bit, and grow a little bit, maybe the smoothness of the plot will be improved, and it will be easier for more people to accept it.

But I chose Son of a Rich Family, and then I felt that this fire was not strong enough, so I added The Path of Mentor.

In this way, the suspense increases, there are many plots waiting to be described, and the future is promising.

But correspondingly, the difficulty of writing doubled and doubled again on the basis of the original difficulty.

Hell mode.

And it's eighteen levels of purgatory.

It seems - I'm really good at digging holes for myself.

I originally thought that with the experience of writing a 3 million-word book, Lord of Pet Beasts, from the early stage to the middle stage and then to the later stage, I would be able to do the second book with ease.

But unfortunately, I am now like a fish struggling in the shallows, looking in the direction of the sea, swishing its tail again and again.

I must admit, I have some mental issues.

As of the time it was put on the shelves, this book had less than 14,000 collections, which was significantly lower than my expectations.

It can be expected that the first order number may be higher than the previous one, but not much higher.

【key emphasis】

What I am saying is that I am just confessing that I am not in a good state, and I have no intention of giving up.

Readers who have gotten to know me since this book must not jump to conclusions easily. I seem unreliable.

At the very least, the existing attacks are far from enough.

For the last book, from the signing of the new contract to the completion of 3 million words, from the first order of 400 to the final price of 1860, I did not stop updating it for 717 days in a row, and coded for two consecutive years, rain or shine.

And Bai Wushang, who was born in the Daqian Dynasty, also grew up as a commoner and became famous in the mountains and seas and in Daqian.

The top ten – gourmet!

Zulongting—Sequence Holy Son!

Holy Court - Great Pope!

Finally, the god kings of all races witnessed, and the twelve guards witnessed, he is the White Emperor, the White Emperor who rules the world! The White Emperor who suppressed the evil leader!

Yinhe, Azhou, Xiaoci, Senpo, Cangjiang, Longye, Xing, Garuda, Shutong, Long live...

When these names appear before our eyes, are they alive and alive?

Likewise, Huazhu and Guagua, this is just the beginning.

Isn’t it just a matter of boiling it down bit by bit?

During those nights of hard thinking, the moon will always be with me.

Besides, if the things you expected are not fulfilled, then you have to correct your mentality again.

It seems that such a process can also be called nirvana or reinvention?

--do not care.

There is no need for any encouragement or comfort.

My original intention was not to be miserable.

(Isn’t this the acceptance speech? How can you be so rebellious?)

There is a group of readers who met me because of Pet Beast Master, and then recognized me and liked me.

Whether openly or secretly, they still support me, and I know this.

Therefore, adjust your mentality just to go a longer distance.

What I ideally want to pursue is the completion of the entire work from a macro perspective, including benefits, positive and negative evaluations, difficulties and obstacles encountered along the way, and a series of thoughts... these are all What I gain is also part of my life.

Ascension of the Favored Spirit has just 210,000 words.

Ye Hanjun's story has just begun.

————————————————

PS: I have no choice but to add that I drafted about 40 chapters before starting the book. After a month, I almost lost money.

Especially after the fourth update, there are only two or three chapters left in the archive, and it will soon return to the days of current code.

Calculated this way, an average of one chapter is lost every day, and no 6,000-word workload can be completed on any day.

In fact, writing this book currently requires me to barely write 1,000 words in an hour. It takes a lot of time every day to supplement the outline and refine the details.

What readers may see is a power and a spirit, but behind the scenes, I even need to think about whether this combination is reasonable, whether there are any obvious loopholes, how to lay out important foreshadowing, and how much to lay out... In addition, it is what I call digging holes by myself. , the protagonist has powers and contracted beasts, takes the path of coaching and accepts apprentices, and the apprentices also need to write some words... Everything is more difficult than I imagined, and it is really slow to write.

Sometimes in order to ensure the stability of my mentality, I have to participate in social interactions every once in a while, otherwise the accumulated pressure will affect my writing state - which will also take up some time.

6,000 updates per day. At this stage, I am gritting my teeth and trying my best to stick to it.

But if at a certain point in time or plot point, I find that writing too fast can easily lead to problems, and I have to slow down and think more.

Or, because I put too much thought into writing, I became too stressed, which again affected my mental balance.

For these reasons, in order to ensure stable creation for a longer period of time, I will adjust the updated word count.

The lower limit is 4,000 words, usually floating in the range of 4,000, 5,000, and 6,000 words.

If I don’t get sick or have any special accidents, I won’t ask for leave because I don’t want to stop updating.
