Chapter 14: Acknowledgments

I delayed publishing for a year, truly keeping everyone waiting too long or2

But in reality, this book was conceived in April last year, and I began writing the opening in June; after eight months of writing, I finally found some feeling and released it.

Guan also wanted to publish sooner, but years of overwork wore him down—he's past thirty, his mind isn't what it used to be. He'd write over ten thousand words a day, then delete eight thousand, repeating this cycle endlessly, rewriting the opening dozens of times, with an estimated million discarded words.

Making everyone wait this long, Guan thought no one would read it anymore; he never expected so many friends would still support him.

His gratitude is beyond words; Guan will add an extra chapter.

Guan has always been able to write more if he can, but he can't produce much readable plot each day. In four days since publishing, he's written four chapters and updated thirteen; at this pace, his backlog won't last a week. Writing a steady six to seven thousand words a day is already his absolute limit or2!

Having so many alliance masters at launch truly exceeded Guan's expectations, and the pressure is mountainous—he owes at least five hundred chapters, and even returning the entire book wouldn't cover it.
