A Note on Going Premium

The editor said it will be available this afternoon.

It's back in stock!

Hey-hey

New readers may not know, but long-time readers should be familiar with my writing style.

Let me explain this to you—

I was full of passion when I started writing the book, and I would revise a chapter more than ten times.

My mentality started to collapse in the middle of the game. My mentality collapsed, the plot collapsed, the upgrade system collapsed, the outline collapsed, the detailed outline collapsed, everything collapsed...

Post-production? What post-production? It was all poorly written and left unfinished.

The idea of an unfinished story is like a curse; no matter how it's written, it seems to end up like this.

Then I gritted my teeth and vowed that no matter what, the next book absolutely could not have a bad ending!

However, he wrote one bad book after another, and wrote another bad book after another.

When I was writing "The Gates of the Nation," I made up my mind, overcame all difficulties, and was determined to die rather than submit—so I resolutely abandoned the project.

If you cut it off, it won't rot anymore.

Cough cough,

Later, when I was writing "Knife Cage," although I was too ashamed to say that I wrote it out of love, I really didn't care much about the results. I just gritted my teeth and wrote it anyway.

Stumbling, intermittent, and full of entanglements, the world-building and upgrade system started to collapse in a clichéd way from the middle onwards, but I still managed to complete the main storyline.

I have to say, it felt really good to finish the book normally!

As for this book, "Mechanical Hunter," besides wanting to complete the main storyline normally, just like the previous one, I've also set two small goals for myself.

The first point is to make the civilization system as interesting as possible. After all, the universe is so vast, giving me a lot of room to ramble on.

The second step is to complete the upgrade system. This is easy to calculate. Each civilization has a maximum level of 30, and the current civilization cap is level 9. In other words, if everything goes smoothly, the book will probably end when the protagonist reaches level 270, defeats the three major natural disasters, and then the book will end.

Of course, with such a grand promise, whether it can actually be fulfilled is another matter.

It's been almost two months, and the protagonist is still at... level 10.

Of course, you'll be changing jobs soon. Even if it takes two months to reach level 10, it will take... many months to reach level 270.

So those who are able should still support it. After all, it's really impossible to keep going for such a long time with just love as the sole motivation; the author would be exhausted from writing so much.

Of course, this only applies to those who like this book. If you don't like it, there's no need for me to play the victim; we can always meet again in the next book.

I just hope that when we meet again in the next book, I can proudly declare that I have accomplished two small goals, instead of kneeling down and weeping, saying, "I abandoned the book, I had a bad ending, but I am a good writer, please support me."

Ugh, it's a bit embarrassing.

Although I think that possibility isn't entirely out of the question, cough cough...

In pursuing these two small goals, other problems will inevitably arise. I welcome everyone's opinions and I tend to accept them.

We're all big spenders, so don't be shy. How am I supposed to know what position you want if you don't tell me, right?

I have high moral standards, so any position is acceptable.

Besides

The fifth watch today

Once it's released, I'll guarantee at least two updates a day, with occasional extra updates. As long as the upgrade system doesn't collapse and the detailed plot unfolds smoothly, I'll try to update as many times as possible.

If I'm not feeling well, the plot isn't going smoothly, or I need to read a book, look for information, or simply take a break, then I'll only update twice a week.

After all, the pie in the sky is so big, I have to make it sound as realistic as possible. If aliens are just a different skin and some data, then it's not very interesting.

By the way, when the player appears, a thread will be created, and interested students can come and role-play.

I don't need to rack my brains to come up with a username anymore.

However, a friendly reminder: the players in this book have low moral standards and often act inhumanely; some are not even human... cough cough, please consider carefully.

Finally, my wicked desire to change the book's title hasn't died down—

What do you all think of the title "Cosmic Utopia"?
