Chapter 84 Release Notice
First, let me address the questions everyone is concerned about. The release time will be midnight tonight. Of course, it won't be that precise, because the release channel will only open at that exact time. Once it opens, I will release the chapters as soon as possible.

Once it's published, a long chapter of 10,000 words will be updated immediately.

.

[For every 2000 first-time subscribers, an extra 6000 words will be added]

After the book is published, I will try my best to keep the daily updates at over 6000 words. When I have extra energy and time, or when I have good inspiration, I will add extra updates from time to time.

……

Now that we've covered the important stuff, here's a little bit of my ramblings. It seems like this isn't popular anymore, but I still wanted to say it. If you're not interested, feel free to skip this.

To be honest, I approached this book with a do-or-die attitude. I didn't promote it beforehand and treated myself as a complete newcomer.

Three days after the book was released, it only had five favorites, which was basically the start of a complete newbie.

I think the recommendation mechanism on Qidian is very fair now. Whether you're a veteran writer or a newcomer, if you write well, you get promoted, and if you write poorly, you fail.

My thinking at the time was that one's character is ruined by one's own actions, and you have no right to promote anything. You can only prove it with your own actions, and any verbal promises seem pale and powerless.

This book performed better than any of my previous books. I devoured all the recommendations from Sanjiang Xiaolaba (a popular online platform for writing), and throughout the writing process, I never encountered any writer's block or writer's block. Inspiration flowed continuously like a clear spring. I even often felt tormented and conflicted because I had so many ideas and so many points to write about, not knowing which one to choose.

Judging from the current state, I am fully confident that this book will get better and better as it goes on to exceed 300 million words.

Let me talk to you about some things related to this book.

To be honest, I've seen similar comments far too many times...

"How can your travel story have a female protagonist?"

Why don't you describe the tourist attractions in your travelogue?

"I'm abandoning this book. Travel writing should be about one person..."

"How did you stray from the topic of travel?"

At first I didn't pay much attention, but later I found it a bit ridiculous.

How could anyone think that travelogues should be written like that?

How could anyone think that travelogues should be written like that?

How could anyone think that travelogues should be written like that?

To put it more clearly: perhaps everyone has misunderstood. I have never heard of a genre or category called travel writing. I have never read or heard of any famous works in this category before.

So... it's impossible to say what a novel of this genre would look like.

Even... what kind of online novels this genre are should indeed be defined by people, but why can't that person be me?

I am an ordinary person.

I also want to be a lazy bum who doesn't have to work or go to the office, effortlessly acquiring skills that others struggle for over a decade to obtain, easily making money while having fun, seeing beautiful scenery, meeting all sorts of amazing, interesting, and unique people, showing off in front of them, giving them a shock... and then, beautiful women giving you glowing eyes. I'm just an ordinary person; I admire interesting and beautiful women.

It's only human nature, is this shameful?

The reason I pursued my wife was because she was an interesting and beautiful woman.

And so this book came about.

Of course, I could write a more elaborate storyline, but I don't think it's necessary... I prefer to write something simpler and lighter.

Indeed, there were some areas that were not handled well.

Before it was released, some details were modified, such as the part where he parted ways with his ex-girlfriend, but many more parts were difficult to change, so we can only try to avoid them in the subsequent plot.

In addition, before writing and publishing, I have tried many different storylines. After looking at the data from the backend, I will try to write less or not at all some storylines that are obviously not popular with everyone.

But as I said before, I don't base my decisions on individual comments; I only look at the data from the backend.

Of course, there are some more interesting plots, but the core principle is to make it fun and relaxing, not to make dumplings for the sake of a dish of vinegar. Let's wait and see.

Finally, I'd like to address the issue of this book potentially falling apart. I wasn't originally planning to talk about this, but I've noticed that quite a few readers are concerned about it, so I'll respond here.

The main reason why this book might fall apart is because the protagonist's skills are acquired too quickly and easily. There's a fear that his abilities will become too strong later on, leading to a collapse in the overall power structure.

This kind of thinking is typical of the leveling-up and cultivation novel pattern.

But everyone is mistaken; this book was not conceived in that way at all.

In the early stages, acquiring skills is relatively easy, and the strength of the skills is set to professional level from the beginning, all for the sake of the plot. In the early stages, the protagonist is simply accumulating awesome abilities. The real climax of the book comes when the protagonist's growth period ends in the mid-to-late stages.

The protagonist's footsteps will not be limited to populated areas, but will extend to much wider regions. The beauty of those places is simply unimaginable.

That's the place a traveler truly longs for.

Before you take that step, you must first have enough ability.

If you collapse halfway through the journey or encounter some danger before even setting off, the experience would be terrible. Even if you feel that you might have such worries while reading, it would ruin the atmosphere.

Therefore, the ability to remain relaxed even in a natural environment is essential!

Of course, life won't always be full of passion. In the final stage of the story, it will gradually shift towards a warmer atmosphere. You've traveled to many places, seen many stories and met many people, but in the end, you still have to return to home and love. And the final stage will certainly not be separated from travel. Let's all wait and see.

This is roughly the current concept. Perhaps more inspiration will emerge during the writing process, but no matter how it changes, it will still be part of this book.

That's all for my rambling.
