Chapter 1138: Requesting a ten-day leave, plus a few words

Requesting a ten-day leave, plus a few words.

Requesting a ten-day leave, plus a few words.

I submit:

So far, this book's word count has far surpassed every book I've written before, and it's several times greater.

I've never written such a long book before, nor have I spent this long on any book; in two months it will be three years, a feeling I've never experienced……

Before Lei En became emperor, I felt the plot control was okay, there were collapses but not terribly bad. But after that, it seemed I suddenly lost direction; the South Continent plot didn't convey the feeling I wanted, many said it was filler, and I know that, so I quickly wrapped up this section and moved on to the next plot: killing Aiken and unifying the New Continent.

Then I felt lost; today I haven't been able to get into the zone for several hours, feeling mentally exhausted.

Actually, there aren't many plot points left until the finish.

I had already prepared the outline two months ago, with no side branches, and I'll write straight through to the end.

After Aiken comes the Abyssal Lord plot, then I meet Augulevi Master again, then officially enter the Fengshen Plot, rising to a clash at the Deity Level, while also entering the Magic Energy Network content, which is related to the God of Magic and Kaiserton's magical research; after that is the final great battle, possibly leading to a ninth volume.

I will definitely finish before New Year's Eve; I don't want to be typing during the holidays this year, and I already wrote the final chapter last year.

It's easy to say but hard to do; entering the late stage, my writing passion is completely exhausted, I don't want to write each day, and updates are stalled.

My body is fine, I'm just mentally exhausted.

This afternoon I thought of taking a long leave, giving up this month's Perfect Attendance Award. The idea sprouted in my mind like weeds, growing wildly and endless…… I'm not one to dwell on things, so I decided to take a 10-day leave, resuming updates on the 23rd; please grant me your permission!

I bow, stepping down!
