It's time for another book to be released. Actually, a week ago, I didn't plan on writing a release statement because I felt like we were already so familiar with each other. But Beihe (my editor) told me that I should, because this book marks a new beginning for me on my writing journey. And it's true.

From "Sister" to "Demon Second Generation," I've been changing genres and constantly stepping out of my comfort zone. When I finished "Sister," I immediately started a new entertainment novel, and I thought it would do better than "Demon Second Generation." But that would have limited me to a certain genre, and I wouldn't have been able to break free from it.

For an author, expanding your writing horizons is very, very important. Even if you become a god in a certain genre, your future is doomed to decline. Because inspiration is limited, and if you write in one genre for too long, it's hard to come up with new ideas. Only by expanding your genres and broadening your horizons can you have a flash of inspiration in other genres and create something new.

This isn't just me talking nonsense, the market has already given us the rules. Of course, there's another reason for this. Qin Baobao is probably the female lead that I haven't been able to surpass in the past ten years, so to avoid her dominance, I wrote "Demon Second Generation," a modern supernatural novel.

We are "pawread.co𝑚", find us on google.

This is a new field that I've never touched before, and the results were neither good nor bad. After all, I sold the copyright. Honestly, when I planned the outline for "Demon Second Generation," I was exploring the direction of copyright, so this book is not a happy one.

Although some people are sending me razor blades because of the ending of "Demon Second Generation," no, I really received razor blades. Everyone, please be civilized, hahaha.

But don't get me wrong, the story framework and experiences of a few key characters in "Demon Second Generation" are really suitable for adaptation.

After "Demon Second Generation" ended, I felt my own shortcomings and promised everyone that the next book I write will be a happy one (to appease the anger of the readers). So I spent three months writing a few hundred thousand words of extra material in a happy style on my public account.

Hehe, did freeloading make you happy?

I can proudly say that there aren't many authors like me. Are there any authors who, like me, have updated for free on their public account for three months and written tens of thousands of words?

After I stopped updating the extra material, I started planning "Nightwatcher." Because the background is ancient and it's a Xianxia novel, I've been reading materials and history books every day to enrich my historical knowledge. History is a field I've never touched before, and for a young author who's almost thirty...oops, eighteen, it's a very energy-consuming task. There have been several times when I wanted to give up.

For example, just the beginning of "Nightwatcher" took me 60-70 thousand words, and I almost collapsed. It's really not easy.

Here, I want to give a special thanks to someone: Rong Xiaorong. A history expert.He is my special consultant. Whenever I encounter any knowledge blind spots, I ask him: Hey, what's the power structure of the court? Hey, what's the rank of the Shangshu? Hey, what's the ancient military system like?

The only field of knowledge where he falls short compared to me is the culture of the brothels.

On the road of writing, having a friend to confide in and exchange knowledge with is a very happy and important thing.

Also, I want to thank my editor, Beihe. He is a responsible person. Whenever you have any questions, he will give you a detailed answer and help you solve any writing problems.

It was also Beihe who gave me the first flash screen in my life.

This made me feel a sense of relief that I did not choose the wrong person to follow.

Between "Yao Er Dai" and "Nightwatcher," there was a six-month hiatus. During this period, many friends told me: if you don't start writing again, readers will forget about you.

But I persisted for six months before starting the book, because this book is not about urban life or superpowers, but about Xianxia and ancient history.

It is a refreshing writing style.

Since I promised to write a refreshing book when "Yao Er Dai" ended, I had to make sufficient preparations.

This is my sincerity, and also the craftsmanship that I have always insisted on.

Fortunately, "Nightwatcher" has achieved good results and has not let me down for the past six months of hard work. I believe it has not disappointed everyone either.

"Nightwatcher" is not just a simple refreshing book. Well, of course, it's not a tragedy either. What I mean is that its core is actually very powerful, and it will gradually unfold in the future. Its story, foreshadowing, and logic will be stronger than "Yao Er Dai."

The book will be listed in the early morning, and I ask for your first subscription support.

I will update several chapters in the early morning. I am currently typing, and I will type as much as I can.

I hope that for my six months of hard work and sincerity, you can give me a good start.

After the book is listed, I will guarantee a daily update of at least 8,000 words. I dare not promise too much. I'm a bit neurotic as an author. When I don't want to type, I take a break, but when I want to type, it's common for me to update over 10,000 words a day.

Here's a little gentleman selling positive energy!
