Two consecutive updates are complete. It's confirmed that the book will be available for purchase tomorrow at noon. Let me say a few words to you all.
Let's start by talking about some plot details.
This novel is relatively slow-burning, and I didn't consider any rules like the "golden three chapters".
It doesn't mean much.
No matter how brilliant the beginning, it's still just the beginning.
What we're about to tell is a very, very long story.
Techniques are just supplementary; I'm more focused on how to tell this story well.
The main storyline is clear: it is the journey of a seventeen-year-old boy who rises from humble beginnings to reach the pinnacle.
So many people have been criticizing the protagonist, saying he's bad in this way and bad in that way. I really want to refute that. How mature were you when you were seventeen?
This is not the rebirth of a strong person, nor the return of a war god, nor a soul transmigration; he is just an ordinary high school student living in the city.
I want to give him room to grow.
But does the main character really have no redeeming qualities?
You are only angry that he borrowed money and didn't pay it back, but have you ever thought about why Ding Yi was willing to keep lending him money? You only see him playing games, but you ignore the fact that he is such a money-loving person that he took out 40,000 yuan to give to his parents when he only had 40,000 yuan.
That's too superficial, and I don't like superficiality.
With good and evil, flesh and blood, minor transgressions but no loss of great virtue, this is what makes a living, breathing human being.
Let's talk about the issue of the female lead and the supporting female characters.
Does this book have an outline?
You could say it exists, or you could say it doesn't.
I say I have a general idea of what story I want to tell, but I say I don't because I don't have a detailed outline.
An outline has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it prevents you from going astray, while the disadvantage is that it limits your thinking.
In short, at least regarding the romantic storyline, I didn't have any preconceived endings.
Ding Yi's popularity was beyond my expectations.
(I could add that there are actually girls like this in real life, because I drew inspiration for this character from real people...)
However, it's unrealistic to say that this book will become a single-female-lead story, because that would contradict the existence of the system.
The system is a cultivation machine without emotions, but the law it follows is that everything is done to the benefit of the host.
What does this sentence mean?
In other words, the system, in a sense, has no morality.
It might demand that Huo Ling'er sleep with it before it sinks, or it might "act like a hooligan" towards its Eighth Senior Sister, all in an attempt to become stronger...
I know many people dislike male-oriented novels with romance and harem elements. Are we all monks? Of course not. People just hate female protagonists who are treated like mere tools, female characters written by authors who haven't had much romantic experience, and those disgusting female protagonists and supporting characters.
I wouldn't dare say I write very well, but I will try my best to make every character feel real.
The world-building of this book is very grand. Because I don't know how well it will perform in the future, I'm not sure if I can fully showcase it, but I will do my best.
Finally, let's talk about updates after the product is released.
Before it was published, the book had nearly 20,000 favorites, which wasn't great, but compared to my previous books, it was the best start. The only regret was that it was just a little short of being listed on the Sanjiang Literature City, and I was just a little short of reading it.
I fought my way out of dozens of books on the web, and this book didn't even have 900 favorites a month ago, so I'm quite satisfied.
Thank you everyone.
Normally, a subscription-to-receiver ratio of 10:1 is considered normal. I'm not expecting too much. Let's aim for 1,500 initial subscriptions when it goes on sale tomorrow. I'll guarantee a 10,000-word chapter, and add one more chapter for every 100 additional subscriptions, with no upper limit.
Then the two helmsmen will also receive extra chapters.
As for the future, since I'm not a full-time writer and my writing speed isn't fast, I'll probably update around 6,000 to 8,000 words a day, but I'll try to write more. Of course, if my performance takes off later, I'll aim for 10,000 words.
I still hope everyone can subscribe to the official version. All beings suffer, including the author. I hope to share my story with you all in the future. If you're really strapped for cash, you can watch my videos to support me, hahaha.
That's all, thank you sirs!
