Chapter 1379: Completion Acknowledgnt
Actually, in the past, I have thought many tis about how I should post the completion remarks, how to post it in a way that appears graceful and lets the readers like it, evoking their mories of past plots and creating expectations for my new book…
But when it ca to writing the completion remarks, I found that my heart was actually unusually calm.
There’s a sense of relief and liberation.
This book has accompanied a period of my growth. In October 2020, I had just graduated a year ago, struggling to adapt to the work pace, and my childish worldview was given a heavy blow by society, making feel quite emo.
When I used to write books, my writing style was quite radical, advocating for the people, idealism… all sorts of things.
Li Fan is my third book (not counting the unsuccessful ones), and a large part of writing this book was actually to escape life.
I just wanted to have fun, without caring about how it turned out, just letting my ideas run wild however I pleased.
So for the first million words, during the Era of Immortal Dao part, I had a blast writing it, without having to worry about anything.
When it ca to the Saint Path, though, it beca worriso. The plot had to connect the past and future, and it was necessary to maintain the coherence of the storyline while still providing readers with a good reading experience.
Moreover, this type of writing is particularly difficult, because the protagonist is already invincible. After about a million words, the story starts to unravel.
Most other similar stories do the sa, after a million words, they either start to lose quality or continue dragging on aimlessly.
I didn’t have that issue, no, truly I didn’t.
Starting from the Saint Path, to the Divine Path, and then to Chaos, no matter if readers thought I was stalling or not, personally, I was really writing laboriously, exhausting my brain, coming up with all kinds of ideas, using up stacks of fresh A4 paper.
Fortunately, even though it was hard, readers had cats to pet and could still lead a manageable life while reading.
But after entering the Forbidden World, I encountered many particularly frustrating issues. The platform collapsed, the editors I got along with well all scattered, and the manuscript fees got delayed—the original platform still owes a lot of money.
It was at this point that my mind truly beca chaotic, and with the length of ti, it felt as though both emotions and ideas were completely depleted.
I genuinely felt like I had nothing left.
Otherwise, there are still many unexplored areas of the worldview and plot.
The Silent One, The Quiet One, they all appeared earlier than planned, and so readers noticed that I was rushing the story.
Because my ntal state was really breaking down, hahaha, I was quite worried that the further I went, the worse I’d write, genuinely ending up in disgrace, so perhaps with the current ending, everyone can slightly pass it with a score of sixty or so. If I keep dragging it, in the end, everyone might give a zero and angrily curse Guixin, calling an old dog with a lousy ending and mundane story that earns dirty money.
So be it, it’s better to conclude it early, this way is fine as well.
Besides, in the sa genre, I think I can already take pride, Guixin with 3.5 million words, a year and eight months, averaging 175,000 words per month, and indeed I have done my best in terms of quality, so most readers can feel sowhat satisfied. The holes I dug have been filled, the wonderful Guixin, where else can you find it, what more do you want?
Enough is enough, hahaha.
Honestly, by the end I really felt quite distressed, including when writing this paragraph, there’s also so bitterness in my heart, truly bitter.
According to web literature norms, a 3.5 million-word book like mine is just at its peak, comparable to a Great Emperor in their pri, as long as there are resources, everything being normal, it can still shine brilliantly.
The result, however, was encountering misfortune, one blow after another, which I truly couldn’t withstand.
Li Fan and the others defeated the night, but I didn’t.
I’m sorry everyone.
Guixin was too young, lacked maturity, didn’t have enough talent, and was insufficient in ability.
That’s all.
As for the new book, I haven’t really thought it through. I nearly wrapped up this book without any preparation.
Typically, authors have to wait for the new book to succeed before daring to conclude the old one.
I’ve cut off my own backup, and will face hunger and the agony and awkwardness of the new book ahead.
I might write so side stories while shalessly opening a small account to test the waters for a new book. If it goes well, I’ll let you know; if not, I’ll quietly beco an unknown failure.
That’s it, if there’s news about the new book, I’ll let everyone know in the public account.
It seems the public account is currently unsearchable due to a report, everyone can try searching again in a few days…
That’s it, nothing more to say, wish everyone all the best and happiness.
Finally, let say, these remarks are free, this nonsense didn’t waste your money.
That’s all.
