End of Volume Remarks, and a Bounty.

This volume is finished.

It took nearly nine months to complete and contains a total of 1.3 million words, giving everyone a complete story belonging to that era.

While writing this volume, I encountered a bunch of things that made me incredibly frustrated. I probably thought about abandoning the project every day, since a million words would have been enough for me.

As for readers' opinions, I haven't had any thoughts since I got to the point of writing 300,000 words and 200,000 followers. After that, I was writing purely for myself.

So some people used the love letter they wrote to Fu Hua as a reason to tell me not to give up.

My feeling is that whether I cut it or not, whether it's rotten or not, I'm doing it because I want to, and it's none of your business.

And hasn't the million-love-letter milestone already been reached?

Going against the market trend isn't an easy thing, is it?

If I had wanted it that way, this book wouldn't have such a small audience, and its success wouldn't have stopped there.

In short, even though there were many obsessed people and strange haters along the way, I still continued writing.

Fortunately, it didn't significantly affect the quality of the chapters.

I initially considered cutting a lot of the storyline from the Previous Civilization, but ultimately I couldn't bring myself to do it.

After all, we still have to be responsible to our full-subscription readers.

Let's stop dumping the trash and talk about this volume.

In my opinion, the Previous Civilization will be an extremely depressing and heartbreaking volume, and also the most painful part of the book.

Because this is how this era is, and it is meant to be that desperate and tragic.

Of course, the fact that their performance deteriorated further because they were too much of Honkai is something they brought upon themselves.

So at the beginning, I deliberately tried to alleviate this shortcoming by writing 300,000 words of everyday life, which I am neither good at nor fond of writing.

Hmm, but compared to the total word count of this volume, how many knives are there?

Other than that.

My favorite character is Seele, and I believe this is also the genuine feeling of readers who haven't used the Crimson King's Stand.

My initial idea for the character was a balance between Veliona and White Seele from the main storyline, because I don't like characters that are too soft and too sharp, tending towards unconventional paths.

The actual taste was satisfactory to me.

How should I put it?

The reason this character appears is purely to allow for more everyday scenes in the Canghai City storyline and to add another reason to Xiao Su's actions, besides Hua.

Since there was no outline, it was all very casual.

However, after considering that Artificial Stigmata would eventually burn out, the Herrscher Authority of Death, and even the relationship between Xiao Su and Seele, I unconsciously transformed it into that kind of plot.

As for the differences and struggles between soul and personality, and the opinions of outsiders, the knife has already been laid bare, yet there are still new ways to write about it. For me, these are all completely new attempts.

However, at that time, it was ultimately affected by external factors, such as subscription cancellations and skipping subscriptions, the occasional appearance of idiots, and many other things, which made the part of the plot that revealed the truth not handled perfectly, which I feel is somewhat regrettable.

The unveiling of the cabbage white butterfly and the Pierrot's Cocoon Bee should have been even more shocking, more emotionally impactful, and made the Herrscher of Death and Seele herself even more memorable.

Let's talk about the next volume.

The Yunmo Arc a chapter in which the final chapter of the book will be announced through a quick marriage, based solely on subsequent updates and performance.
