First, I'd like to apologize to everyone. At the beginning of the month, I set a flag to update 300,000 words this month, but I failed to complete it. I only updated 280,000 words...

Thinking back to the days when I wrote 450,000 words a month, I can only say that I can't help but admit that I'm getting old.

Of course, it's not that I'm old, but that the book is old.

The more words I write, the more difficult it becomes to update explosively. Sometimes I write a lot of content, and I forget the foreshadowing from the beginning, so I have to go back and find it. The time, characters, and plot sometimes become more and more confusing as I write. And in order to avoid repeating the plot as much as possible, I have to find materials and think about new content, which is indeed a bit difficult.

In order to make the timeline clear, I even went back and marked the specific dates for each chapter. Fortunately, I recorded the time when I wrote them, otherwise it would have been easy to write myself into an unknown year and month.

My previous highest word count record was around 2.5 million for "All-round Game Designer." Now, without realizing it, I have written 3.75 million words. As a counter-routine book that focuses on the early stages, it is not easy to write so many words, and it can be regarded as a breakthrough and growth for myself.

The 20,000 words that I didn't complete this month will be made up for in January.

Looking back at 2020, if I focus on this book, I have written some content that I am quite satisfied with, and some content that I am not so satisfied with, which did not achieve the originally planned effect. But after all, you only know the detours after you have taken them, and you can only make progress by taking more detours, so I don't feel any regret. I can only say that if I accidentally write some unexciting plots that dissuade some readers, it can only be said that it is a matter of ability, and there is no way to avoid it. No one wants to screw things up, but it is too difficult to do everything perfectly.

I can only hope to improve and move forward step by step in the future.

Thank you all for your continued support and company. Having a group of enthusiastic readers is the happiest thing for every author.

I said before that this book would be written to 5 million words, and this can definitely be done, no problem, because there are still many ideas that can be used. I don't want to finish it hastily just because there are too many words, nor do I want to drag it on for too long and write eight million or ten million words, which would cause the whole story to deviate from what I expected. So, how to deal with the specific plot in the later stage requires more time to think about it slowly.

Personally, I am very satisfied with and like a lot of the content in this book. It has a good start, so naturally I hope that the details of the whole book can be perfect. I haven't done this before, so I must think carefully about this book, write it carefully, and make decisions carefully.

In short, everyone can rest assured that President Pei can accompany you for a long time, and it will not be finished in the short term.

And when it really comes time to say goodbye, it will definitely be a satisfying and regret-free farewell. I will complete all the game ideas and the content I want to write before considering the ending.

I wish you all a happy New Year 2021, and see you next year!
