Chapter 609: Update at 3 PM

Update later, around 3 PM.

Sorry everyone, writing the Top Ten Tournament takes too much time, because it's not just a simple match, but a major event. The outline has too many interconnections, too many characters, multi-threaded pacing, and I also have to think about the match content, the plot, the characters, the treasures, the techniques, the pacing, the humor, the exciting moments, and consider Kunxu logic… I always feel like there's not enough time every day.

In fact, since this book started, I've always felt short on time, because there are simply too many things to consider—pacing, humor, exciting moments, settings, outlines—all because the Kunxu world is too complex. Especially since many complicated things are only written in my settings and outline; considering readability and interest, it's impossible to include everything in the novel text. Maybe just one or two sentences in the novel require a lot of time from me to think through the complete setting and logic behind them.

But I've managed to hold on until now. Except for New Year's Eve this year, I haven't taken a single day off. I just hope I can keep persevering.

However, I have to admit, the closer we get to the Top Ten Tournament, the more factions appear, the more characters emerge, the bigger the plot becomes, the higher the complexity, and there are too many things to consider. By now, the time needed each day has climbed another notch. I can only keep cutting back on sleep, but it's still not enough.

After yesterday's update, I worked on the plot and detailed outline until 2 AM. I really couldn't hold on any longer, slept for 4 hours, then got up and continued refining the outline and filling in the main text. But after struggling for a long time, I realized I still couldn't finish it before noon.

Many friends eat lunch or even sacrifice their nap time to follow this book, so I'm specifically notifying and explaining here: everyone, please have a good lunch, rest well, and don't read until after 3 PM.
