Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 86 Remarks on the launch
As is customary on Qidian, I should write a launch message, and this is the second time I've written one.

It's hard to describe how I feel right now. I'm very nervous, wondering how this book will perform, just like that joke I once told:
"Once upon a time, there was a little pig. People thought it was too young and planned to fatten it up before slaughtering it. Then... the little pig starved to death."

That little pig is from my previous book...

That year, I was dominated by frustration and despondency. I felt lost because the novel I had worked so hard to write and conceive had ultimately flopped. Later, I finally decided to start a second book.

Devouring World Dragon

As I mentioned before, I originally wanted to use the title "The Giant Python of the Mortal World," but that title was already taken. After thinking about it, I felt that the title "The Serpent Who Devours the World" wasn't cool enough. Since dragons and snakes are indistinguishable in mythology, I decided to use the title "The Dragon Who Devours the World."

If Gu Bai in "The Savage Fierce" is the image of a mythical epic hero that I tried to depict, then the giant serpent in "The Dragon That Devours the World" is the image of a mythical monster that I tried to depict. A man and a beast, these are my two protagonists.

I never actually gave the giant serpent a name; at most, I used "Meng," a name I made up at random. In my eyes, the giant serpent was a ferocious and tyrannical beast, devoid of any humanity. But that's precisely why I found it interesting. I've seen too many human stories; why not try a monster story?

The giant serpent has no humanity or human desires whatsoever; all it seeks is to eat and sleep. However… such a monster, which readily devours several civilizations and consumes the sun and moon, is bound to be intolerable to humans. Therefore, the conflict that erupts between the heroes and gods who vanquish the monster and the antagonistic monster who is the protagonist is the fundamental theme of this book.

That's why, despite still being a monstrous creature, I didn't give it a human name. But will this serpent remain just a monster forever? Or will it change? That's actually quite an interesting question.

Can a heartless beast be moved by that meager amount of humanity?
As for why Norse mythology follows the original storyline so closely, it's because the core element of Norse mythology lies in "unchangeable fate." I couldn't force a change, which frustrated me greatly. Often, I could only make minor alterations. Now, with Ragnarok, I can finally write however I want, and modify it however I want without restraint. ...

Alright, you've read so many of my words for free, so I just have one question for you all: don't you feel guilty if you don't give me a first subscription?
Sincerely,
salute.
