Following the convention of Qidian, I will write a closing statement.
"I Just Want to Live Immortally" took more than a year from the time the book was published to the time it was completed, and contains two million words.
The author is a newcomer on Qidian. This is the first time he has written an immortal novel and also the first time he has written a book of two million words. Although he has been a little weak in updating, he has indeed tried his best.
Enough of that small talk, let’s talk about this book.
Where should I start? Let's talk about how you feel.
The author has read the plot of this book many times, especially the plot before Gu Dan left the Xia Dynasty.
But since leaving the Xia Dynasty, the author himself has not looked back at the plot except for the story of Zhuangzi turning into a butterfly and returning to heaven.
I knew something was wrong.
The problem is not that the protagonist goes to cultivate immortality, but that this book is a work of immortality.
I did not make a good connection between the mundane world and the immortal world - even though I arranged for Qingpingzi and the others to go there in advance, and Zhuangsheng was with the protagonist, it was not enough, far from enough.
A huge rift has been created.
The second question follows.
The sense of immersion in the world of immortal cultivation is inherently inferior to that in the mundane world, and is far inferior.
In the face of the huge sense of separation, Zhuang Sheng cannot make up for it, and for readers who have been reading this all the way, this is almost unacceptable.
This is the author's own problem.
It’s not scary to have problems, what’s scary is not being able to discover them.
It is not enough to take longevity purely and simply as the theme of a book - but by the time I realized this, it was too late, too late.
So there is no turning back.
After Zhuang Sheng, the author tried to portray other people in the world of immortal cultivation.
But when it came to the life and death arena, it was undoubtedly a failure.
If I continue to write, maybe I can write a million words, but that will no longer be a long-lasting novel!
It's about killing monsters and leveling up, it's about being invincible and overwhelming, it's about showing off and getting slapped in the face, but it's not a story about immortality.
For the readers who have been following the series all the way, rather than completely ruining their previous feelings and making people sigh, "Another bad book," the author thinks it is better to stop at the right time.
There are many pitfalls that you will only realize after you step into them yourself.
Many mistakes can only be remembered vividly after making them once.
Lessons also mean growth, don't they?
After all, only a few people can become legendary with just one book, and the author is not a child of destiny.
To the readers who have followed this book all the way, the author sincerely apologizes: my ability is limited and there are many flaws, but the author has indeed tried his best.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This book should end at the right time, just when it can still be remembered!
In the next book, the author will definitely learn from the lesson. Thanks again to every reader who subscribed! Bow!
As for the new book, the mental pressure of serializing it all the time is indescribable. I need some time to relax and walk around. I'd better take a break for ten days or half a month before I make any further comments.
I will notify you in this chapter of the book when the time comes.
Finally, if you think this book is worth reading, please subscribe to it! (End of this chapter)
