At noon, the book will be released with four Chapters at once.
Previously, I wrote two thousand words per Chapter at Chuangshi. Based on the suggestions from my readers and after consulting with the editor, I’ll try to change it to three thousand words per Chapter after the launch, making four Chapters a total of twelve thousand words.
This is Old Saber’s third book, and it’s somewhat different from the first two.
I decided to make some changes. The first two books were about natives, but this one starts with a cross-world travel theme.
At the end of the first two books, I always said goodbye to Jianghu.
The first two were Xianxia, so I thought, for this one, let’s write about Jianghu.
Of course, I’ll also blend in some fantasy Xianxia elements. There will be a slight shift in style, which some of you may have already noticed.
Another change is that I used to write on Chuangshi, but this book is moving to Qidian.
Some readers are worried about whether there will be any acclimatization issues, but there won’t be.
It’s just that I haven’t written on Qidian before, so there’s a bit of an away game feeling;
And since there’s been over a year’s gap, my skills are a bit rusty;
Some old readers are not aware that I’ve started a new book;
And some readers thought Old Saber was long gone;
Many readers are on QQ Reading due to various factors... There wasn’t a grand scene of ’drums and gongs, firecrackers going off, a single cloud-piercing arrow, tens of thousands of soldiers coming to meet.’ (In short, there are many fellow readers, but they haven’t arrived yet, mainly due to stubbornness in words.)
But it’s okay; by writing slowly, I’ll eventually regain my touch.
Besides old partners, new companions will also join.
With everyone’s companionship, someday I’ll become familiar with this place and make it the main stage.
Let’s talk about this book.
The new book is titled Eternal Saber, inspired by a poem by Tang Dynasty poet Liu Cha: ’The sun rises a foot high above Fusang, the world’s affairs are as thin as a feather. A rustic man angrily sees injustice, the Eternal Saber is worn in his heart.’ (The poet’s name is awesome, and so is the poem.)
In recent years, reading the last two lines, I felt deeply moved, hence this Jianghu was written.
I believe that in everyone’s heart, there is such a saber.
Perhaps buried deep inside, perhaps its edge is worn down, but the saber has always been there, eternally indestructible.
The first volume, Snowy Bow and Saber.
The first half of the volume ends with the Chapters around the fire at Qingyun Tower. There is snow, bows, and sabers, but it doesn’t exactly match the mental realm of this poem. The true response to the volume name will be at the end of the second half.
The protagonist has just left Changze County, and as the plot progresses, the entire Jianghu will also unfold.
As for rewards, feel free to do as you please, based on your means.
Don’t reward the Alliance Leader tier, that would be a bit too much pressure for both of us – you spend more money, and I have to add more content, hurting both parties...
If you can subscribe to support, that would be very satisfying.
Still, I like to add content based on fate, considering my writing state and plot progress, while ensuring quality.
Lastly, thanks to editor Duster, who helped me revise several drafts of the first book after moving to Qidian and gave many suggestions.
Looking back at the first draft, I can’t help but feel a bit scared. It’s fortunate to have him overseeing it; otherwise, at the level of self-indulgence the first draft was at, it would be like a field full of herbs and surrounded by poisonous insects, even Shen Nong wouldn’t escape...
Thanks to everyone for your continuous support, and finally, I seek a wave of subscription support~
