This book will be launched tomorrow, with five Chapters updated in one go at midnight on Tuesday. Subsequent updates will follow the promise made to everyone earlier: if the first day orders exceed 3,000, I will maintain a daily five-Chapter update for the first month after the launch. If, unfortunately, it doesn’t surpass that figure, it will generally be maintained at 3-4 updates (6,000-8,000 words).
In summary, Lao Tao still couldn’t escape the rule of one good book, one bad book. The previous book went through a period of unclear consciousness due to its underperformance, but I managed to pull through. The preparation process for this book was also full of hurdles from the start; I wrote six or seven versions of the beginning, during which I also sought feedback from group friends on the opening, but in the end, none of them were used. When preparing the beginning, I reached a point where I almost forgot how to write, so I must thank Mr. Lv Dou and Penglai for offering many valuable suggestions. Some beginnings, upon reflection, had either pacing issues or started with a gimmick that was hard to develop further. I’m grateful for the reminders that kept me from going too far astray.
This book is expected to be over 2 million words. Regular readers know that Lao Tao’s style has always been invincible flow + a relaxed everyday life. Overall, I hope readers can keep a light and happy spirit amidst their busy studies and work, seeing the daily updates as a form of relaxation. After all, reading web novels is itself a form of solace. This book will continue this style; however, since many writing techniques and methods are still in their exploratory and learning phases, sometimes the plot may fall short of perfection — please bear with me! I’m also reading the backend comments almost every day, and I am contemplating some of the readers’ suggestions. However, a novel is destined to be hard to satisfy everyone’s taste, so adjustments can only be made without affecting the original storyline framework.
Finally, I want to thank the readers for their constant support. Before this, Lao Tao has never managed to write 10,000 words every day for an entire month, so the promise to update daily once over 3,000 is also a kind of self-encouragement. If there’s a chance to progress further, I’m still eager to put in more effort.
I hope everyone can support with a first-day order. I hope everyone enjoys the reading, and I also hope this book will have a good outcome.
