Explanation, Reflections, Bonus Epilogue

Explanation + Author's Note + Bonus Content

Let's get down to business first:

The New Hextech was indeed poorly designed; that's my problem. I'll release a revised version today.

Once the revisions are complete, subscribed readers can simply refresh the page to read the new content.

I'm taking a day off today to revise the text. If there aren't any major issues with the new content, I'll start writing Chapter 301 tomorrow.

The Easter egg is at the very bottom.

.

Since I've already written a separate chapter, and the Golden Core stage is over, I'll just say a few words of reflection and mention some current events.

First, let's answer six relatively common questions.

one,

Q: The content I see after the revision is unchanged, including the correction of typos.

A: You need to refresh/download the page after making the changes to see the updated content.

two,

Q: Why only one chapter per day? Why do you combine chapters and release them together?

A: Although I didn't write much, it was actually three chapters of 6,000 words combined into one chapter.

The reason for doing this is to make the average order value look better.

This allows for better competition for the recommended spot—the battle for the crown prince's (recommended spot) position has always been like this, full of cruelty and calculation.

Looking across Qidian Network (Cultivation World), there are countless books (Prodigies), but the recommended spots (Breakthrough Pill) are extremely limited.

I am using this method for the sake of my grand plan of spiritual practice (writing).

This is a demonic Cultivation Method; minors must not imitate it.

Additionally, for readers who are following the book, it is recommended to spend three minutes each day watching ads to exchange for chapter cards, which can be redeemed for 10,000 words.

three,

Q: Why don't you reply to my questions in the comments?

A: If you reply in a nested thread, I won't receive any notifications unless it's a reply that mentions me.

For example.

A reader commented: This has been mentioned before.

A reader, B, asked in the comments section of his reply, "No, could the author please specify where it appeared?"

For me, this reply from reader B was something that didn't come without any notification from the backend.

I have to manually scroll through the comments section; I can't see the question directly.

Although I often actively browse the comments section and the chapter notes, it's inevitable that some things will be missed.

So if you have a message you want me to see, it's best to start a new First Floor and not reply to it in a nested thread.

Of course, if it's a discussion about the plot, then that's fine.

Four,

Q: Why do many authors wait until 11 PM or during their usual update schedule to post their leave requests for the day?

A: Because without a draft, sometimes I'm not sure if I can actually finish writing it today.

For example, sometimes I write slowly, and I might not finish writing until 11:56 PM, then I have to quickly publish it.

However, if I encounter writer's block halfway through, it might be too late to finish on the same day. This is my problem, and I'll try to improve it.

five,

Q: Why can it be published on time before it goes live?

A: Because I prepared some drafts before starting the book, which were scheduled for release, so it was on time.

However, some things happened that caused the saved drafts to be used up, and now I have to update every day, so the specific time is not stable.

Sometimes when I write smoothly, I might finish by 11:30 PM, leaving time to check for typos. Other times, if I'm a bit slower, I might be ten or twenty minutes late.

six,

Q: Are there any chapters that you would particularly recommend not skipping?

A: Yes, yes, I suggest you subscribe to chapters 234, as that's where Su Li makes her debut.

It would be even better if you could leave a comment!

Then came some reflections.

I thought about it for a long time yesterday, but I still made a mistake in the end. I hope I can fix it today. I desperately need some inspiration.

If only I had a Purple-Gold Bodhi, I could eat it and increase my enlightenment.

But what I want to say here is that I absolutely did not intend to write anything malicious, to deliberately highlight sensitive points, or to deliberately annoy anyone.

To borrow a line from Xiao Chen in Chapter 237.

You can question the recipes I write, but please don't doubt my loyalty to my subscribers.

Even if it's just to get more subscribers, I would never do anything reckless.

Every time I encounter a problem, it causes some readers to abandon the book, which really pains me.

The reason why this happened, including the previous revision in Chapter 202, is mainly due to issues with approach and vision.

It's a case of mishandling the plot during the writing process.

After I finished writing this reflection, I tried to revise it. Hopefully, it's not too late to mend things.

.

Below are some random thoughts.

It contains a lot of subjective opinions, the author's rambling thoughts, some seemingly pitiful content, and incoherent sentences.

You can skip this part and scroll directly to the bottom to see the Easter egg.

.

After reading all the comments today, I realized that Night's Edge is a bit overpowered.

It is stronger Blade Waltz.

Then, Hextech in Soul Fighting Arena and Rune Rumble are indeed directly related to combat, providing numerical skills rather than mechanics.

Many readers had already pointed this out to me a long time ago. Ugh, it's so frustrating.

In addition, I actually prepared a sufficiently long outline before I started writing the book, so I really did have an outline, really.

However, at this point in the writing, the plot has deviated significantly in terms of details.

Sometimes, as you're writing, a new idea suddenly comes to mind, or you feel there are loopholes in the original plot.

Then make temporary modifications or adjust the logic temporarily.

With so many patches like this, the plot gradually started to feel out of control.

Since I'm a complete newbie, you can probably tell from my terrible writing that I'm not a seasoned pro.

When the outline was first developed, some aspects were not considered thoroughly enough, and it was forced to undergo several adjustments along the way.

For this reason, despite having the idea of updating more chapters frequently, I haven't been able to do so.

In addition, this is the first time I've written more than a million words (currently 1.3 million words).

Then, they also lack experience in handling long-form narratives.

Sometimes I suddenly feel like I've come up with a brilliant idea, but when I write it down and look at it, I realize it's a bit of a rotten idea.

After much deliberation, I finally had to delete it.

To give a recent example, just the day before yesterday (at the end of chapter 297), there was supposed to be a dialogue.

That passage describes how Xiao Chen decided to prioritize breaking through the path of Cultivator of Magic.

I suddenly thought of that famous scene from Stephen Chow's movie, the one where he says, "You'll take care of me."

So the original content was like this:

[Su Li: "Let's stay on the island to accumulate true energy, which will also allow us to wait for the auspicious time. It's a win-win situation."]

Xiao Chen feigned a sigh, "Sigh, what if we encounter Nascent Soul Stage danger in the next few months?"

Su Li immediately replied with a serious expression, "No matter what danger there is, I will stand in front of you with the World Illusion Moon Wheel."

But after I finished writing it and read it myself, oh dear, something seems a bit off.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels off.

So I trusted my intuition, deleted that conversation, and changed it to the version you see now.

But my intuition can save me once or twice, but not every time.

Then, without realizing it, I stepped on a landmine.

I'm not saying this to excuse myself, but simply to say that I really didn't mean it, and I admit my mistake!

I'll start thinking about how to revise the text now.

Finally, here's a little bonus content.

This was also a draft that I instinctively deleted; it came from the middle of Chapter 299 from the day before yesterday (which shows that when writing, I often write, delete, and rewrite).

Diegejia: This is a draft, not part of the main text. Just treat it as a side story.

[Thanks to the hunting these past few days, the journey was naturally smooth.] (This is the original text, describing the preparation to return to Secluded Doom Island after hunting the Frozen Fish.)

However, upon arriving Secluded Doom Island, they had only just approached the vicinity of the illusion array.

Suddenly, a blinding white light appeared before my eyes.

When the light faded, a complex array appeared around them.

Eight Azure Formation Flags fluttered in the wind in all directions, while a Golden Main Flag stood atop them, radiating powerful Spiritual Pressure.

"We caught him!"

Five cultivators who had been hiding fifty miles away revealed themselves and rushed over.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chen and the Cloud Cliff True Person, stared at each other in surprise.

"Daoist Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Cloud Cliff True Person was somewhat incredulous. His eyes darted around before he asked, "Did you go to the wrong place and accidentally trigger the formation?"

"This isn't a coincidence. We came to arrest intruders who trespassed into restricted areas, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding."

He did this primarily for two reasons.

On the one hand, Cloud Cliff True Person didn't want to clash with Xiao Chen and wanted to save face for him.

On the other hand, despite having more people, it's not certain that you can capture anyone if a fight breaks out.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, glossing over the situation is the best option.

Xiao Chen naturally understood the implication in his words.

But he shook his head. "I didn't go to the wrong place, I'm heading to Secluded Doom Island."

Upon hearing this answer, Cloud Cliff True Person was completely dumbfounded.

Ancestors, what are you doing!

What should we do now?

He couldn't just release them directly, as his fellow disciples were watching.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen didn't let him dwell on it for long. He immediately took out a small wooden carving, about the size of a palm, and infused it with a wisp of true essence.

Immediately, a phantom image of Su Li appeared.

"I have come to pay my respects to Moon Eclipse True Lord, and this token serves as proof."

Xiao Chen shook the statue in his hand. "If you stop me from going in, then you are going against the True Lord's will."

Cloud Cliff True Person's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but gasp.

As the head of the Azure Sea Pavilion, he naturally knew the secrets about Su Li from a hundred years ago.

He immediately took out a token to dispel the formation and said with a smile, "Since Daoist Xiao is going to pay his respects to the True Lord, then we will not disturb you any longer. Please go ahead."

That reason was enough for him to go back and explain himself.
