In short, I thought everything I’d written was worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that anxiety, I decided to strengthen Quirrell’s storyline and empower the protagonist, believing that a character unaware of the plot approaching a dark lord would be like a blind man riding a blind horse, nearing a deep cliff at midnight—creating intense dramatic tension and heightening reader anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether these ideas were right or wrong doesn’t matter now—I simply thought them and acted on them, resulting in today’s situation: the story’s tone has become inconsistent from beginning to end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the protagonist’s behavior in the story mirrors the author’s own mindset in real life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when I eventually emerged from my anxiety, I realized I had dug too many holes in this storyline, and now I face the challenge of how to reasonably retract it; abandoning these plot threads isn’t my style, and it would be irresponsible to the readers who enjoy Quirrell’s arc—I’m now stuck in a situation where digging holes was fun, but filling them feels like a funeral pyre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this storyline is finally nearing its conclusion; I will be far more cautious in future plot design and avoid making impulsive decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back carefully, my suffering at the time stemmed essentially from a mismatch between my personal abilities and unrealistic expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, I’ve been learning writing techniques for web novels across various platforms and even purchased paid tutorials to improve my skills in web novel creation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, thank you once again to all readers who’ve made it this far—you’ve already given this new author the greatest encouragement possible, and I will keep working hard to write better stories!\u003C\u002Fp>",466,"2026-06-20T16:09:23.977Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b668078b155771ab842a379c3d1f9e1e57040952de5e89589142edc4f7967935","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-77","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-75",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
