Chapter 124: Author's Ramblings

124. Author's Ramblings

Author's Ramblings

I drank coffee around seven in the evening, instant black coffee in a sachet.

My spirits are somewhat lifted, yet my mind is somewhat weary.

I am a reader too and cannot cheat people, so I have clearly marked whether or not the plot line has been reached.

I can understand the readers urging me; if a web novel isn't satisfying, what is there to read?

To be honest, recently the author has lost himself amidst a chorus of praises.

Especially regarding that poison-dropping segment; I am reflecting on it and will avoid it in the future.

Furthermore, why do I like "The Story of Minglan"?

It is detailed, so incredibly detailed.

The original novel is the skeleton, while the TV drama filled it with flesh and blood, bringing the entire work to life.

Then who was the first person to shape the protagonists of both the TV drama and the original novel?

Wei Wei Xiaoniang.

Why was she like that? What background did she have? The original novel does not say, nor does the TV drama explain in detail.

Therefore, one can only carefully deduce it, inferring from Wei Seeing Wei Shuyi's few words.

The TV drama states that without experiencing a life-or-death crisis or a catastrophic family change, a person's character will not change.

Why did Wei Seeing Wei Shuyi change?

That is precisely the content of chapters one and two of Wei Seeing Wei Shuyi's past.

(Mainly, I also want readers to read these two chapters.)

If Bai Shi had not died, how would Old Master Bai have acted, and what of Yang Zhou? The sequence must be rearranged so that what follows remains plausible; after all, the protagonist cannot have pierced the heavens.

If the plot remained exactly the same as before,

then what would be the point of reading it?

I can only strain my brain cells to think up stories, stuffing in clichéd tropes.

I stuffed in a "Zhao Zhao Meifeng" who is uniquely illuminated, a trope from "Water Margin," hoping it would be somewhat amusing.

The technique was clumsy, inviting ridicule from those in the know.

Readers, please forgive me.

Extra chapters are being added.

The daily baseline is four thousand words.

Reaching ten thousand words daily counts as adding three extra chapters.

Today is fourteen thousand words, counting as adding five extra chapters.

The debt is nearly repaid.

The extra chapters from tips over the last two days have not yet been counted, nor have today's monthly tickets.

I will strive tomorrow.

Goodnight; I feel unable to sleep, but anything typed out now would surely be poor.

I will close my eyes first and go listen to the "The Story of Minglan" TV drama.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, by the way, tomorrow is 2024.

Happy holidays, everyone!!!!

Love you all!

Thanks to the readers for your support, love you all.
