Going Premium Note (Midnight on the 1st, with Mass-Update Plan)
The book will be available for purchase after midnight, so I'd like to say a few words to everyone.
First, the initial intention behind the creation:
I often feel that in a fantasy world where the combat power is exaggerated, the environment and climate should also be exaggerated.
One day can encompass all four seasons, and one month Vast Sea.
A torrential rain or a drought can last for decades or even centuries.
There are Flame Mountain that never burn, and seas that have been frozen for millennia...
Based on this setting, I began to think about how the Human Race in this world fights against natural disasters.
That's when I thought about incorporating the Twenty-Four Solar Terms into this worldview. Perhaps the Twenty-Four Solar Terms were created by a group of ancient masters to combat natural disasters? (doge)
However, this idea came from two years ago. At that time, I felt that my writing skills were not good enough and my knowledge was not sufficient, so I did not dare to put pen to paper.
I slowly accumulated inspiration, such as reading articles about the Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory, Shennong's Herbal Classic, Grand View of Trees, and Commentaries on Seasonal Instructions, until the system was relatively complete before I dared to publish it.
In this process, the inspiration of "a unified fantasy dynasty where all professions can use magic" was added.
It will continue to be improved, and other professions will be gradually mentioned in the upcoming chapters.
For example, this dynasty is relatively friendly to ordinary people, with Twin-Yellow Treasures to Evil-Averting Warning, and the saying "This land is owned, do not enter without permission".
There is only one document required for the upgrade, which will bring blessings and longevity to the person.
There was also an imperial edict that brought people down to earth.
Binding official positions to cultivation levels, transmitting all techniques, sealing Yin Spirit, establishing temples to monitor all officials... I think a centralized fantasy dynasty should have such strong control!
Returning to the protagonist's profession itself, this is a starting point that I've thought about for a long time.
I had previously considered starting with an academy-themed story, holding a "Green Seed Competition," which would also be a farming story, similar to a plant cultivation story, but it always felt a bit out of place. I also considered calling it "The Hundred Flowers Dao Lord," but then I felt it was too gentle...
There are also stories like a prince who is exiled to the frontier to farm, receiving various plants and skills as system rewards, creating a prince farming story...
Or perhaps you start as a full-fledged official, get framed, or kill a very valuable plant, and so on.
I always felt it was too formulaic, and I wasn't satisfied with it myself.
In the end, they settled on a slower-burning opening with a lot of plot twists from the start, which is the one we have now.
Starting as a minor official in Agricultural Official, he gradually rose through the ranks by passing the seasonal assessments.
The Time Law, the Earthly Advantage Spells, the natural Grain Eating Bird Calamity, breeding competition, the theory of the Five Elements and Four Seasons Theory, the miraculous phenology, climbing the Spirit Mountain... Hmm, this is a very hair-losing opening.
In conclusion, the author put a lot of effort and care into writing this.
To be honest, when I first asked others about this as the opening, even the editors didn't think it was a good idea.
Divine Farmer Dao Lord? You dare to use a four-character title? Are you out of your mind? This is reserved for the greatest masters!
Such a slow start? No grandstanding or face-slapping moments? Are you out of your mind? We need a fast pace!
Even the supporting characters have such great names, why is the main character's name so ordinary? You don't want it...
Fortunately, there were still editors willing to take me in. I would like to especially thank Night Snack, the editor in charge of Group One, for thinking that my opening was okay and that I was a very professional editor!
Thank you to the editor-in-chief, Biscuit, for your encouragement!
When it was first added to the library, the results weren't ideal; it only got twenty or thirty favorites a day, and I almost thought it would flop.
Fortunately, we gritted our teeth and persevered until we were able to get the product into the warehouse and be recommended for trial use.
Surprisingly, things went quite well afterward. I managed to win all the new book recommendations and even reached sixth place on the new book chart.
To be honest, for a level 1 new account, achieving this level is already quite remarkable.
Often, similar content written by a level 1 account will be heavily criticized, while content written by an expert will be seen as having "profound meaning".
One uses a magnifying glass to find flaws, while the other uses a magnifying glass to find strengths.
Fortunately, the vast majority of readers still have the ability to make their own judgments and have followed the story all the way to the present.
Sometimes there are typos that I can't see because I'm blind, so please bear with me. I will definitely correct them as soon as I find them.
However, the author has their own pace when it comes to plot and setting. I will listen to what they think is reasonable, but in most cases, I will still write according to the Predetermined idea.
There are many other interesting settings and stories that I've come across later on.
I want to thank all the brothers and sisters who voted and tipped, especially Miss Vera, who even gave a reward to the Alliance Leader! Thank you so much!
Next, let's talk about the update issue.
Once it goes on sale at midnight tonight, there will be plenty of stock to satisfy your appetite!
Five chapters, five chapters in one go! Twenty-five thousand words, enough to keep you reading!
After that, I would update 8,000 to 10,000 words every day, releasing them all at once, always at 12 noon. If I encountered writer's block or other unexpected situations, I would let you know in advance, but I would usually keep a copy of the draft for future use.
As for the bonus chapter for donations, since there is already a patron, we will award one bonus chapter (5,000 words) to the patron.
So I'll be releasing six chapters at midnight! After that, I'll update every day at noon!
As for tips, a level 1 account doesn't expect much more. I'm just happy that you guys can watch the official version.
We could do an extra chapter for monthly tickets, let's set it at one extra chapter for every 3000 tickets. During the guaranteed monthly ticket period plus double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month, everyone can cast their votes.
Setting the update time too low might affect the update schedule and quality, since we update daily and the volume isn't small.
We don't seek momentary pleasure, nor do we do things beyond our capabilities.
