Chapter 496: Post-Publication Remarks

Post-Publication Remarks

Hello, reader bosses. I received the notification that it will be published tomorrow at noon, which is Friday, June 7th, at 12:00.

Here, I thank the readers who have always supported me, thank my editor Canaan for the guidance and encouragement, thank my family for the support, thank the Metal Raindrops and Xixi bosses for giving me chapter recommendations, and thank the book friends in the book friend group for discussing together. The above thanks are in no particular order.

I ask everyone to give a first subscription to support me, so that the author knows how many friends are looking forward to the story of this book, which can boost morale and code words faster. I bow and thank you here.

Due to the sudden notice, there are not many saved manuscripts, but I will try my best to explode updates, and subsequent updates will be as many as possible.

I can guarantee this. Because I had to suppress updates during the new book period before, but for the sake of content integrity, sometimes a single day was still 8,000 words—of course, this was also based on trying to maintain quality.

For the subsequent parts, let's talk about the feelings of creating this book.

The author is indeed not some extraterrestrial demon or old timer; I am a native newcomer to Qidian. I had a book with an average subscription of 20 before. After summarizing the experience and lessons and preparing to set off again, I encountered a series of changes in reality. I gave up some ideas that I liked very much and set up carefully, but which I estimated only great gods are worthy of writing, and I stumbled and published the book at the end of April this year.

The writing of this book is not even as good as the last one. One is that the mental state is not good due to being tortured by various real-life things, and the other is that I had a general anesthesia surgery before opening the book, and many thoughts are slow to mobilize.

Of course, it does not mean that this book is done casually. This book is the Japanese-style fantasy I am familiar with, and I am also striving to shape every character well.

The publication time just happened to miss the minimum guarantee for the first month, but I couldn't drag it out, otherwise, I might not be able to open the pot.

Writing about quitting the team is used as an introduction. The main vinegar is actually the part after "Then" in the book title. It tells the story of the protagonist wanting to build a steady and efficient team, but those who come are all problematic girls. In the process of fighting wits and courage with them, they travel to the end of the sky and the ultimate end of the world.

Before publishing the book, I didn't realize that this type of light novel on the island in the east had already left a bad impression on readers. This was my negligence.

The reason why I used quitting the team as an introduction is because of the author's personal experience. I am more familiar with this and feel that this can more accurately describe how the event arouses the protagonist's fighting spirit.

When I played WOW before, I really met a group leader who would only distribute equipment if you "borrowed money" in private. Since that was a group that had made some progress in epic difficulty group copies, in the game environment at that time, this was the precious resource he could provide, and this became his capital for being fearless.

I didn't play in that group, but I was very close to it, and I witnessed it with my own eyes. In the end, the group leader was reported by the group members who couldn't bear it anymore, was chased by the police, and ran away. I don't know if he was caught later.

And the protagonist left the group because of his profession, which comes from my playing a warlock in WOW. The group copy needs you to hit DPS, provide necessary functionality, and do dirty work, but after leaving the group copy, you are hated in the 5-person dungeon big secret realm, which accounts for another large proportion of the game.

Back to this book, the setting background of this book refers to *Granblue Fantasy* (referred to as GBF). The author is an old player of this game. Currently RANK 375, hourglass graduated, ten days 150 is one short, ten sages are all fully finished, six old kings, magic weapons are all over-limited, 3 are 250, water square array magic is above 230, 150 gold moon is almost the fifth, ancient battlefield hero liver twice, scarlet gold 50 up and down, but I have been fishing for a long time to write the book.

Although the early development seems to be a replica of GBF, the characters and settings have been reconstructed. The reference is for nostalgic reasons, not deliberately rubbing heat. If I wanted to rub heat, why would I rub our niche game?

Book friends who have played or understand GBF may see more sense of déjà vu later, but they may be completely different from some angles. This is a guarantee I made for the reading experience.

Readers who don't understand GBF can also read without obstacles. Some other games outside of GBF also have an influence, mainly *Baldur's Gate 3* and the *Monster Hunter* series, and other miscellaneous things that can't be finished.

Let's talk about the book title.

Many readers have called for me to change the book title before. It is not that I ignore the opinions of these readers, but I am not very dare to change the intelligent push mechanism of Qidian now.

Since entering the library, the collection data has been quite good, ranking among the best. I am afraid that after changing it, it will affect the whole body, or trigger some algorithm BUG, resulting in not being able to get the volume.

And the beginning of the book itself is also based on quitting the team. Even if it is changed, the beginning will still let people know that it is quitting the team, and most of the stories are built on this foundation, so it is difficult to make a major change. So I will keep this intuitive book title for the time being.

If the results really explode, maybe I can learn from others and change it to something like *Poem of the Clouds* (laughs).

Thank you readers for your appreciation. The early follow-up data has always been quite good. If it weren't for the fact that my publication time was not good, and I jumped to the promotion line every time after Tuesday, I might have been recommended faster.

Finally, it may be because this book is looking at the long term, so I can intuitively feel that some readers have changed to raising books later, and finally the follow-up fell before the door of Sanjiang. Although it is a pity, this has far exceeded my expectations, which is inseparable from the support of readers, and I am very moved.

The problem of the rhythm being too slow, in fact, I didn't plan to write slowly when I planned it, but I still followed a set of rules when designing the plot, and there was some deviation in the estimation of the length. I originally planned to leave the island in 20 chapters, Dorothy to join the team in another 5-10 chapters, and then pave the way for the empire, and then start to continue cultivation and upgrading.

But once I started writing, the length was lengthened because of rendering the atmosphere and emotions.

These will be refined more concisely later, and the settings are the same. Of course, these are definitely based on ensuring character shaping.

The subsequent story will proceed in the process of Li Ang training the unreliable problematic girls, fighting against the Shura field, unraveling the truth of the worldview, and watching the soul peak gradually fall.

The part of slapping former teammates in the face will not account for too much, but there will be. It doesn't account for too much because this is not the real purpose of the book. Li Ang and his team members will have greater pursuits, and it is reserved because this is the introduction of the story and needs to have a beginning and an end.

Now Zoe and Dorothy have gathered, and there is another mother, Aelafia, who is concerned about the protagonist. The author is also looking forward to what kind of chemical reaction the subsequent problematic girls will trigger.

Finally, I ask for the first subscription again.

Let us sail together toward the end of the clouds.
