Six updates to settle the score—I'd say I worked hard enough. Though it was a little late, at least I didn't go back on my word, right? Asking for a round of monthly tickets now isn't too much, is it?
Come to think of it, I discovered something rather subtle: some actions that seemed perfectly normal to me apparently came across as incredibly brainless to quite a few readers.
After much thought, I felt it was still a problem with the transitions in the writing—there was too little smooth buildup.
Take Lu Yang's actions in this life, for instance. From the very beginning, it was destined to become a head-on clash.
