Publishing Announcement
It's about to be released, so I'd like to say a few words to everyone.
I uploaded the first chapter on June 29th, so it's been almost two months now.
The original intention of writing this book was that I was tired of protagonists who caused trouble everywhere, and I wanted to write a different kind of protagonist.
Thus, "The Lord of the Yellow Court" came into being, and Lu Qingfeng was born.
Before and after writing this book, the Demon Monk thinking about what he would do after having a cheat ability.
The Demon Monk thought that unless absolutely necessary, he should lie low until he had enough strength to emerge again.
Showing off only to be slapped in the face!
He's showing off his divine power in front of others!
Travel around!
He's taking on apprentices everywhere!
Ten thousand immortals came to pay homage!
Just like the Demon Monk wrote in the text, "There are three million sword immortals in the heavens, and they must all lower their heads when they see me."
Then one Chapter Comments, "Do you enjoy bullying people so much?"
Ha ha.
I saw it in the middle of the night and laughed so hard I almost couldn't sleep.
As expected, this Chapter Comments is full of experts and talented individuals.
However, at this stage, especially in reality, it is still best to keep a low profile.
However, novels are constructed through plot.
How do you write something that's completely timid and inactive? How do you develop the plot?
It's very difficult to write.
The Demon Monk had this worry both before and after he put pen to paper.
Then I thought of the unique 'golden finger' that is "Primordial World".
In reality, it's okay to just lie low and not have any plot conflicts. In the game, you can keep reborn and reincarnating, just like '※Heaven's Fate※' said in the book review section—
"In the game, as long as the protagonist doesn't die from recklessness, he can recklessly go all out."
Well, this way, there's plot conflict, and the logic (dying in the game doesn't matter) is complete.
Certainly.
When the Demon Monk was writing the story, he also considered the real-world plot. Although he played it safe, he still managed to achieve some success. In the game, however, he didn't really take any risks.
The first life will not be mentioned.
In those lifetimes during the Shangyang Country era, there was an urgent need to improve strength in reality, but the speed of cultivation in reality was limited, and it was impossible to keep dying in the game because of recklessness.
That would be a waste of time.
So in previous lives, even in the game, the main strategy was to play it safe and develop your character.
Alchemy, weapon crafting, puppetry, etc.—people either love them or they don't. It seems like there aren't many people who dislike them.
After the sixth and seventh incarnations, they entered the Weeping Marsh. There were no direct threats in reality for the time being, so they were able to roam around a bit more in the game.
Really.
One wave, and he died several times in a row.
Even after the game is released, the storyline must still serve the real world.
Just like in the Shangyang Country stage, cultivation progress is slow, so you can learn alchemy, weapon crafting, and puppetry in the game to improve your ability to protect yourself in reality.
Now that we have the most basic means of self-preservation, there are still many unknown threats in the cultivation world of the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers. Therefore, we should try our best to find and deduce ways to strengthen our survival.
For example, 'Light-Splitting Shadow-Transforming Void Sword Movement', and 'Seven Birds Lesser Evolving Numerology'.
More life-saving Divine Ability and methods will be introduced later.
Cultivating immortality, you know.
Life is the most important thing.
After leaving Shangyang Country, I certainly won't neglect the various arts of cultivation.
Even cultivators without time differences can become alchemy masters and weapon crafting masters. In the game, Lu Qingfeng has a hundred times the time difference. If he doesn't master a hundred skills, he should at least master six, seven, eight, or nine.
After all, one can't just live a carefree life in reality; all kinds of resources have to be earned through performing. Sometimes, one has to hide deep in the mountains and forests, where there are no markets or shops, and one has to do everything oneself.
Having many skills is never a burden.
Therefore, there will definitely be many surprises in the later plot.
The book has a very well-developed premise, as you can see from the first two or three hundred thousand words.
At first glance, it might seem too complicated, and the pre-release storyline already had some issues with this. Therefore, after the release, the Demon Monk will gradually reveal the setting as the story unfolds, giving everyone a chance to become familiar with it.
In short, while adhering to the principle of cultivating immortality in a cautious manner, we should strive to make the Primordial World and the real world as realistic as possible, and make the plot more exciting, so as not to disappoint everyone's expectations.
Since its upload, "Lord of the Yellow Court" has performed quite well.
I want to thank everyone for their continued support.
Judging from the pre-release performance, it seems that people generally approve of the core concept of "cultivating immortality while idly passing the time." However, the actual success will depend on subscription numbers after the novel is released tomorrow at noon.
To be honest, writing this kind of story is really brain-draining. If you just rush it, the plot becomes boring. With such good results, I definitely can't just do it half-heartedly, so Demon Monk have to spend even more time on writing.
I code for two hours every morning!
One hour of intensive editing at noon!
I spend two hours coding and one hour fixing things tonight!
Then I sorted out the plot, setting, and detailed outline, spending most of my spare time on this book.
At night, when I'm lying in bed, if I come up with any brilliant ideas or plot points, or if I think of any problematic parts of the plot I wrote during the day, I'll write them down on my phone.
I go to bed around midnight every night, and sometimes I can't fall asleep until after 1 a. m.
I always wake up at 3 a. m.
Fortunately, after waking up, the Demon Monk played on his phone for a while, read everyone's comments, deleted some negative reviews, and argued with the trolls. Then he could fall asleep again as soon as he put down his phone.
Actually, my sleep quality is still acceptable.
After all, the Demon Monk could sleep for an hour during the two-hour lunch break.
Ha ha.
They quietly started playing the victim.
However, we still have to sell it if it's worth it, otherwise how will you know how hard the Demon Monk has worked, right?
To date, this book has over 32,000 favorites.
Based on a subscription-to-receipt ratio of 10:1, if the Demon Monk uploads a chapter tomorrow, it might directly become a featured chapter on the first day.
However, if you do this, you'll probably curse the Demon Monk to death.
So here's a preview of tomorrow's update—
1. Guaranteed at least 10 chapters.
It will be available for purchase tomorrow at noon. The Demon Monk will update ten chapters at once to satisfy everyone's appetite. This explosive update schedule already surpasses that of 95% of authors on Qidian.
2. Bonus chapter for donations.
For every 100 yuan in donations, one extra chapter will be added, with no upper limit!
Everyone can donate according to their mood. If you're able, feel free to tip a dollar or five. If you accumulate that, you might be able to save up for four or five chapters. But the bulk of the extra chapters will still come from first-time subscribers.
3. Bonus chapters for first-time subscribers.
The importance of initial subscriptions is something everyone, whether or not they frequent Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), understands. The Demon Monk's expectation for this book's initial subscriptions is a 10:1 ratio, with over 3200 initial subscriptions!
What level we can achieve depends entirely on everyone; Demon Monk can do is update it.
Therefore, if the first subscription (the number of subscriptions for the first VIP chapter on the first day) reaches 1500 tomorrow, an additional chapter will be added for every 100 more first subscriptions, with no upper limit.
According to the Demon Monk's expectations, if the initial subscription reaches 3200, there will be an additional 18 chapters!
I sincerely hope that everyone can support the official version, even if it's just by giving an initial subscription.
As mentioned in a previous post, Qidian has a "Fairy" event. On the bookshelf page of the Qidian App, there is a "Fairy" bag in the lower right corner. After clicking on it and scrolling down slightly, there are five tasks. The first task is "Hourly Red Envelope". Click on it to grab a red envelope. This task is guaranteed to be successful every time you grab one.
You can usually try to grab coins once around 8 PM and again after midnight. However, don't try to grab them at the exact time, otherwise you'll get fewer Qidian Coins.
You can try to snag one at around 10 PM, and then another at 9 or 10 AM the next morning.
By subscribing twice, tonight and tomorrow morning, I should be able to subscribe to the first VIP chapter around noon tomorrow when the Demon Monk updates ten chapters at once.
These Qidian Coins that you snatched are not bonus coins; you can directly subscribe to new chapters with them.
Of course, those who are able and like this book are encouraged to subscribe to the full version to continue supporting the author.
After the book is published, the minimum update frequency will be three chapters (6,000 words).
As for the extra chapters after the release, it depends on how many chapters the Demon Monk has left after this release burst (actually, I really hope it will be released tomorrow so everyone can squeeze every last bit out of the Demon Monk's stockpile).
I won't say more; my mind gets a bit chaotic right before it goes on sale.
Anyway, I've already played the victim, been sentimental... well, I don't know if the part about asking for extra chapters and first subscriptions counts, and I've shown my sincerity by releasing a lot of chapters.
Tomorrow at noon, it's all up to you all.
Please subscribe!
Thank you everyone!
