Chapter 437: [Volume End Three or Four Words]

【Volume End Three or Four Words】

【Volume End Three or Four Words】

1. Summary

The second volume, 【Ode to Winter】, has ended.

This volume is relatively long, and the content is quite substantial, mainly unfolding the two maps of the Northern Realm and the Jin Quehua Dynasty, and obtaining the two identities of "King of the Northern Realm" and "Sea Hai Shao Bing Magic User."

Of course, because Gao De's own strength is relatively low and he cannot explore high-difficulty areas, I have only written the tip of the iceberg of the two maps, and the two identities of King of the Northern Realm and Sea Hai Shao Bing Magic User have just begun.

2. About prophecy

It is not because of the prophecy that one becomes the King of the Northern Realm; it is because of the King of the Northern Realm that there is a prophecy.

3. Results

Under my poor update speed, the results are still steadily improving, from 500+ initial subscriptions to the current 4300+ average. Thank you to all the good brothers for your real money support. I wish all the good brothers great wealth!

The previous book, Sword Cultivator, went from 50+ initial subscriptions to 5000+ average at the end. The start of Magic User is much better, and the improvement in results is also much faster. I will strive to catch up as soon as possible. Work hard!

4. Thanks

I am a person with a strong sense of boundaries (lazy).

Therefore, except for asking for leave and summarizing at the end of the volume, I will not easily pop up to speak and brush for meaningless presence.

I will code words quietly, and good brothers can just read the book easily.

In fact, for me, subscription is already the greatest support, and you are top-tier good brothers.

But there are always many readers who not only subscribe but also tip, vote, help catch bugs and errors, and even give support in the book review area.

Such readers actually account for the majority. I call them good brothers, but in my heart, they should be called angels.

Therefore, no matter what, no matter how lazy I am, I must earnestly thank everyone for their support.

Bow, bow, and bow again.

Also, thank you to the good brother Jian Shan Gen for the two alliance leaders tipped during the second volume!!

5. The protagonist's upgrade progress is too slow.

A point of view: the most difficult stage of wealth accumulation is from 0 to 1 million, and from 1 million to 10 million, the increased wealth is more, but the difficulty is not as good as the previous stage.

6. This book is a traditional upgrade novel.

With the iteration of novels to the present, Qidian actually has very few such pure upgrade texts. Brain holes are becoming more and more important, while this book has basically no brain holes; it is a very, very traditional upgrade text, so traditional that it is even a bit old-fashioned.

The meaning of saying this is that I have always admitted that this is a very "old-fashioned" story.

7. Over-leveling

A very important highlight of upgrade texts is over-leveling to fight monsters.

But if over-leveling is too easy, it is very boring, so in this book, I set the combat power gap between different levels to be extremely large.

Large is large, but over-leveling to fight monsters is also an essential ability for the protagonist.

How to do it and be as reasonable as possible? That is a hexagonal warrior.

And shaping these six sides will inevitably take up a lot of space, which is why the upgrade progress seems slow.

But it is only the upgrade progress that is slow, not the improvement.

Gao De's strength has actually been improving with the development of the plot.

Quantitative change can lead to qualitative change.

(It's really hard to write fast, I'm really that ashamed.)

In addition, my own update attitude is actually a bit Schrödinger:

If you say I'm lazy, there was a glorious deed of staying up all night with insomnia and then participating in a 20-plus kilometer cross-country running race the next morning, and then coding the update for the day after taking a nap when I got home;

Or the struggling moments of being sent out for training by the unit, driving home that night to code words for the update, and then getting up early the next morning to drive back for training;

There was also the perseverance of coding the chapter of the day even when infected with Norovirus.

If you say I'm diligent, there have been times when I missed the update time because I played games too much and just stopped updating;

Missed the update time because I chatted too much on WeChat with friends and just stopped updating;

There was simply a gluttonous time when I went to the city to eat hot pot and just stopped updating;

The number of times I stopped updating for these inexplicable and unjustified reasons is actually quite a lot. (Embarrassed face)

Just take it as sufficient and unnecessary evidence that I am a human, not an AI...

9. Architecture

How should I put it, some books/some authors are not suitable for writing fast. If you write fast, it is cool for a while, but it will definitely collapse later.

There are many precedents, so I won't list them, but older readers can definitely name several examples off the top of their heads.

For me, writing long and writing well to the end is more important than writing fast and writing explosively (of course, if you really want me to write explosively and fast, I can't do it, haha).

If I choose between a million-word ten-thousand-subscription book and a three-million-word boutique book, perhaps the former earns more and is easier, and the latter seems to be half the effort, but I am still willing to do the latter.

That's all.

And this book and this author are both the kind that are not suitable for writing fast.

In terms of plot, I am very restrained. Sometimes I would rather let the plot be flatter, and try to avoid forcibly pulling conflicts to destroy the long-term architecture of the story, leading to a collapse in the later stage.

—Everyone should be able to see that Magic User will be a long novel, right? (Please, if a traditional upgrade text is not a long novel, who would watch it!)

10. Thunder points

Everyone's thunder points are different, and some thunder points seem inexplicable to others. For example, I am thunderous about any novel where the protagonist smokes, and I absolutely won't watch it (there are exceptions, such as Xu Le).

A long novel, millions of words, will definitely encounter some unique thunder points of readers more or less. Some can be tolerated, and some will abandon the book if they can't tolerate it. You are not wrong, and I am not wrong.

Breaking up, some people like to be decent, and some people will make a scene and part on bad terms. There are all kinds of situations.

But as long as it is not a moral error, at least you have been happy before, that is enough, just like love, right?

11. Chatting

As for the group of online novel readers, Qidian paying readers, that is you, whether it is professionalism, tolerance, personal quality, or understanding of web literature, in my eyes, they are far ahead of readers on other websites.

It's not flattering everyone, but the fact is just like that.

As a Qidian author, I think respecting everyone is sufficient and necessary.

So I have said since Sword Cultivator:

Any comments from paying readers, even if they are slightly sharp or biased, as long as they do not involve personal attacks, even if I do not approve, I will never delete posts or ban them;

Even if I write slowly or stop updating, I will definitely finish the book to the limit of my ability, and there will never be a bad ending or a truncated ending due to personal subjective wishes.

So, everyone can rest assured to read and comment. It is true that the update is slow, and it is true that I occasionally stop updating, but it is also true that I will definitely finish this story well.

12. Volume Three Title: 【Flower of Twins】

13. Please ask for leave for one or two days. One is to fish, and the other is to sort out the main line of the next volume.

14. I have finished speaking, but I just want to list one more point.
