This was Ru Qing's fifth time putting a book behind a paywall since she began writing!
In other words, this was Ru Qing's fifth book!
However, Ru Qing did not know whether this book could, like her previous four, ultimately surpass five million words and become a completed long novel.
Because although this was Ru Qing's fifth book, it was also the first original work of her writing career.
And as everyone knew, switching from fanfiction to original works made it very easy to crash and burn.
How many predecessors had already fallen on this road?
Ru Qing might become one of them too.
For that reason, Ru Qing had never considered changing direction before. Only in recent years, when readers had become far more accepting of different kinds of books than they used to be, did she dare to give it a small try.
But Ru Qing did not dare to take too big a step all at once, which was why The Demon Lord Doesn't Have to Be Defeated came into being.
Why did she say that?
Many longtime readers who followed Ru Qing's previous book probably knew that she had originally planned to write an original summoning-themed novel. But after some thought, as well as the suggestions of certain readers, she decided to write an original work closer to her previous style instead—a transitional work first—which led to this book's appearance.
Those of you who have been following this book should be able to tell that it actually contains many elements of Japanese light novels, right?
That was the reason.
Of course, there were drawbacks to doing this as well. As an original work, its subject matter was somewhat niche—one could even call it obscure.
