It's not that I intentionally cut the story short, it's just that the plot has reached that point and needs a breakpoint. The next chapter will switch back to a cheerful writing style. This is not an intentional cliffhanger, but rather a clever point in the story.
I've been writing from this morning until now, only taking a break in the afternoon to nibble on some pastries. I've been working hard to write, delete drafts, revise drafts, ponder character details, and immerse myself in the characters' emotions. I owed an update yesterday, and today I've updated 15,000 words...
Because our story is meant to be light-hearted, the plot can't be too convoluted, and the story can't be too simplistic. This writing style is genuinely challenging.
These few plot points are not cliffhangers. The information, plot arrangement, and character performances in these three chapters are already as compact as they can be.
The protagonist's choice between the two supporting characters has been condensed to a very small point, as I know you don't like to see this kind of dragging plot.
I've also avoided several major discussion points and cut out many lengthy debates...
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".
Really, it's all tears.
As a hardworking author, do you still want to threaten me with canceling your subscription... doesn't your conscience hurt?
Hahaha, let's get serious.
The main conflict in the Kingdom of Women's plot has been revealed in these chapters. From North Wilderness to the Kingdom of Women, you should be able to see what kind of story I want to write.
The world is cruel, and humans struggle against the heavens.
The female lead you're all concerned about will appear in a few more chapters.
The second volume will begin with the Human Realm plot, so you don't have to worry about the protagonist wandering around aimlessly. Although we have a serious protagonist, we will avoid any unnecessary dangers.
The word count of each chapter is now over 4,000, and the word count for the new book is skyrocketing. The editor's recommendation position can't be arranged in time... Ah, luckily I have a bit of a reputation now as a small author, so the editor didn't scold me this time, hehehe.
However, updating too quickly during the new book period can indeed lead to reader fatigue and affect the book's performance. The original plan was to launch on April 1st, but it might be moved up. After the launch, there will be no more concerns about updates, and I will strive for at least two or three updates per day, with each chapter not less than 4,000 words. Of course, if a chapter is complete, I won't force the word count.
The quality of the writing is always the first priority, and if I'm not in a good state, I'll take a break in time~
Sometimes when you think a chapter is short, it's actually because I spent a lot of time polishing it to make it smooth to read. It's not really short. You can check the word count in the table of contents or on the web version. And this is still during the new book period.
I'm thinking of competing for the monthly ticket ranking starting on March 1st.
Because the rules for the monthly ticket rankings have changed, I can compete even before the book is launched. I don't know if I can create a precedent by achieving a ranking before the book is even launched.
I dare not think about it. I'll just eat peaches.
In addition, today I'll make an exception and give the power to decide the content of the book to the readers!
The character Feng Ge's fate will not have any impact on the later plot. Do you want her to stay or leave? I'm torn about her. She caused trouble, but she's also quite pitiful.
If you support her staying, leave a message in the comments section of this chapter. Don't repeat the same message, please~
If you support her leaving, leave a message in the comments section of this chapter!
And finally, as promised, don't cancel your subscription. Come water the flowers and bury some soil every day. I'll be waiting for you~
Bye-bye!
