The story ends here.

I can still write, and this book is doing alright so far, and I can still earn some royalties.

But the story is already complete, so I won't go into unnecessary details.

Hydrology is irresponsible to oneself and to the readers.

I don't think it's necessary to write any extra chapters.

Because it features only one female lead, there are no "what if" scenarios.

Everything that needed to be explained has been explained.

Of course, I might come back and reread it someday and add some supplements, but it's hard to say when that will happen.

No need to wait.

The original estimate was 55 words, but I shortened a few chapters when I finished writing it; otherwise, the estimate would have been quite accurate.

Thank you so much for reading this far.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement along the way; thank you for pointing out the bugs; thank you for helping me come up with a name during the book title test, and so on.

Without your help, the quality of this book would definitely have dropped significantly.

In short, I am extremely grateful.

……

Let's start by summarizing some of the shortcomings.

First, some plot points were not handled well.

Although this is the third book I've ever finished, to be honest, I was still a complete novice when I started writing it.

I've written two books before, but they only add up to a million words, which is less than the word count of a single book by someone else.

The experience is still not very rich, and some plot points were not handled well, which became what everyone called the flaws.

The "Soulmates Fighting" segment received the most negative reviews.

When I was writing, I had a lot to say, most of which I have already explained in the author's notes at the end of the chapter.

However, from the reader's perspective, the reading experience is indeed not very good.

On the one hand, there was a lack of experience, which led to a mishap; on the other hand, the handling of the situation was indeed not perfect.

As a result, there were a lot of negative reviews during the promotion period, and for a long time, the most praised reviews were the negative ones.

Otherwise, there should be room for improvement in their grades.

However, failure is the mother of success, so I should be able to handle similar situations much better next time.

Secondly, there's the bullying, the scene where the female lead is taken away, and the dog theft scene.

I think some of the plot points were handled reasonably well, but they weren't very well received.

Based on my limited experience, it's difficult to completely avoid it.

Take it slow and steady.

The only downside is the large number of negative reviews; this book probably won't get a score of nine, which is quite a shame.

Second, the issue of rhythm.

The overall pacing is fairly smooth, but there are issues with the level of detail in some parts.

For example, the two of them still don't spend enough time together in their daily lives.

Some time periods have been skipped.

Some parts should be described in more detail; at least two or three scenes of daily interactions should be selected for description.

But I fast-forwarded through time.

This relates to the third question.

Third, the syllabus issue.

The first book did not have an outline.

The second book had an outline, which was complete but very simple, resulting in a flat and straightforward plot. Many scenes were also written haphazardly.

I keep making the same mistakes in the same place.

The outline of this book is much more detailed than that of the second book, but it is still not enough.

Because my laziness has returned.

I am used to using tactical diligence to cover up strategic laziness.

This is a bad thing, and if you're writing a book, please don't follow my example.

I only wrote a plot outline of four stages: introduction, development, climax, and conclusion. The entire outline was less than two thousand words long.

Actually, most of the time I just wander around the country, writing whatever comes to mind.

Furthermore, for the "beginning" part of the plot, I asked the AI ​​to refer to similar stories and give me a rough template.

This also led to many friends criticizing the beginning.

Let's also summarize the advantages.

First, in this book, I tried to find my own writing style.

The first few books mainly imitated the language style of the online novels I had read.

Because I don't know if writing in my own style will be criticized as pretentious or pedantic.

I think there are differences between writing online novels and writing essays in school.

I hesitated for a long time before deciding to give this book a try.

Fortunately, it was a success.

Thank you all for giving me confidence.

Secondly, I think the foreshadowing was done quite well.

Here, I'd like to share my experience with you. This technique is something I figured out after writing my previous book.

Of the four parts, introduction, development, transition, and conclusion, think about the conclusion first, and it's best to think about the ending scene as well.

Working backwards makes the foreshadowing more natural.

Of course, I wouldn't dare say that my foreshadowing was particularly good, nor would I dare say that my line of thinking was definitely correct.

You can refer to this when you write online novels in the future.

Third, the emotions in some parts are written quite well.

I was quite serious when I wrote it, and I revised and refined many parts repeatedly.

Of course, some parts were not completely deleted, or we were not careful when making changes, resulting in some typos, reduplicated words, misplaced words, etc. Thank you again for pointing out the bugs.

I'll also answer everyone's questions about my plans for the next book.

With this book, I have now completed three books, all of which are around 500,000 words long.

This kind of novella has become my comfort zone.

So for my next book, I want to try writing a longer novel, a grander narrative, with more supporting characters and conflicts.

Step out of your comfort zone and challenge your weaknesses.

I've never written a long novel before, I have to give it a try.

The tentative title is a post-apocalyptic wasteland story, about gradually building up one's power; it could be considered a farming/development project.

I don't like writing systems and cheat codes, so the main character doesn't have any cheat codes.

It's not entirely without merit, because the protagonist this time is a hexagonal warrior.

As for why he's a "hexagonal warrior"...

I'll keep you in suspense for now, haha. Longtime readers of this book will understand once they see it.

However, I think there's a high chance of failing once you step out of your comfort zone.

Hopefully, it won't be a disastrous failure.

Why not continue writing urban romance novels?

The main problem is that this book has drained a lot of my inspiration, and I need some time to gather it again.

If all goes well, I'll be back to writing about everyday life in my next book.

When writing about relationships, many of the scenes touched me deeply myself.

When you move yourself to tears, isn't that a kind of psychological sublimation?

That's why I really enjoy writing.

Of course, it's also possible to add elements, such as writing urban martial arts + urban romance.

It's too early to say what will happen in the future.

The next book might be released later.

It's mainly because I've been quite busy lately.

Secondly, I also want to improve my ability to create outlines and detailed outlines.

We can't keep slacking off here.

It may take a relatively long time.

Finally, because of the subject matter, which involves various forces fighting each other, one has to do some research to write a good story.

I don't want to portray the struggle in too formalistic a way.

Try to write down the finest details.

If I want to become a cultural worker, then I must first be cultured myself.

Therefore, the learning process must not be omitted.

Only in this way can we write about struggles with depth.

Let me start by building up a foundation. If my writing isn't good, please be gentle with your criticism, old readers, haha.

Oh, by the way, the next book has a lot of supporting characters, so the author is having trouble coming up with names.

Anyone who's willing to make a cameo appearance can leave a comment here.

Just leave your name.

We cannot guarantee whether they are heroes or villains, so please consider this carefully.

Alright, it's time to say goodbye.

I feel very excited every time I start or finish a book.

That's why I've gone on and on.

I borrow Hai Zi's poem to wish everyone well.

Stranger, I also wish you well.

May you have a bright future.

May you and your loved one be united in marriage.

May you find happiness in this world.

Friends, may our paths cross again someday.
