Chapter 80: Thoughts on Release – Upcoming Storyline Overview
(Yesterday, Chapter sixty-one was missed. You can go check it out, alright.)
Let’s talk about this book. The intelligent push came too late. During the PK with Sanjiang, we were only a tiny bit short. After losing the PK with Sanjiang, the very next day, the readership grew by over five hundred.
On the third day, the intelligent push came, and the collection skyrocketed by over three thousand eight hundred in just one day. By the second day, it increased by another six thousand.
I can only say it’s a matter of timing and fate. Nine Lives has to sigh and say, truly when the time comes, Heaven and Earth both powerfully align, but when luck departs, heroes have no freedom. If only the intelligent push had come one day sooner, Nine Lives could have provided you all with free updates for a week.
Also, about this book, the updates won’t be too fast. If time allows, I will try to carefully hone each Chapter to make sure it’s worth your subscriptions. Because I don’t want to pad the word count, the updates will be slightly slower, mainly depending on the author’s state and performance.
The author made a big mistake at the start of this book; you could say it was a crash and burn. The Fox Spirit lived too long. In fact, when I first wrote it, the first three Chapters already had the Fox Spirit blown up with explosives, but later, when readers saw the draft in the group, they led me astray, and the Fox Spirit lived till now.
Now everyone can see, the protagonist has already suppressed the Fox Spirit. Now, when it’s released, it will be killed immediately, definitely not letting the Fox Spirit live any longer. Killing the Fox Spirit roughly involves three steps. The first step is to blow up the Fox Spirit’s physical body, proving this world is not a mythical world, lacking the Divine Techniques from later works like Journey to the West. Secondly, the Fox Spirit’s soul needs to be suppressed inside the great tomb, using the Fox Spirit to open the tomb’s mechanisms (because the protagonist only knows the specific structure of the tomb, but for the intricate mechanisms, a Golden Finger is required). Finally, the protagonist gains the skill to refine the Fox Spirit, acquiring the Fox Spirit’s skills like Void Transformation and Transportation Technique. Actually, these skills are all prepared for the protagonist, but the author’s writing ability is limited, and he couldn’t bring them out.
The above storyline might be completed today in one go, depending on the author’s state.
The author sincerely hopes the content written later will be worthy of everyone’s subscriptions.
Also, a big thanks to Nine Lives’ chief editor, Beihai. When I was searching for themes at the start of the last book, Beihai gave significant guidance. The author made great progress in crafting the opening and grasping the market, which includes this book, where the opening saw significant improvement.
Further thanks to the editor Bacon. From the publication of this book to the modification of the title, changing the description, adjusting Chapter content, Bacon went through a lot of trouble. If any colleagues are submitting manuscripts, you can choose Bacon, a little miss who can send emojis.
Also, apologies in the book review section. For those who sincerely criticize the plot with reason and evidence, even if you point at the author’s nose and say it’s trash, the author just quietly watches, at most grinding teeth in anger and deletes the review, but will never ban anyone. However, for those who criticize just for the sake of it, the author will delete and ban them to prevent others from being misled.
If anyone was mistakenly affected, once again the author apologizes profusely!
Additionally, apologies to the readers I banned from a few previous books. I was young then, always thinking only about writing my own stuff, not caring about people’s complaints. Only recently did I awaken to realize there was much reason in the criticism I received in the past, but understanding came too late, and I can only say sorry to everyone.
This noon, when it’s released, the book itself doesn’t have much value. The author abandons the previously suppressed writing style, trying to write something refreshing that brings joy and comfort as this book’s greatest value.
The usual practice, releasing at the same time will include an extra Chapter for the alliance leader "Gentleman Heroic."
By the way, I’m asking for a wave of subscriptions; if you think this book is still worth a glance, fellow Daoists, please support during the new book period. I hope all the bigwigs will vote more, thank you all, Mwah!
