Volumes 1-5 Summary and Leave of Absence Notice

Bad news first:

There's nothing at 6 PM.

This refers to the main content of a leave application.

The purpose of taking leave is to improve the quality of my writing.

At my rate of almost 5 hours per chapter, I simply can't write enough drafts to fill a backlog.

Attentive readers have noticed that the 10 AM post is more accurate, while the 6 PM post is more unpredictable.

This is because I didn't have any drafts saved up, and I had been working through the night for the past few days, which was really too much for me.

This kind of writing-on-the-spot-and-posting-on-the-spot-is-a-serious-problem.

I think it has reached the point where it's affecting quality.

Although I know that taking leave now will definitely affect my grades.

But for me, the quality of the work is the most important thing.

I had no choice.

I hope you guys can understand.

At least the previous chapter was in 4K.

Then comes a summary of volumes 1 through 5.

I have severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I divided the book into three parts, the first of which is "The Xia Yin of Mystra".

I divided this work into about 20 volumes.

Five volumes have been completed so far, totaling 279,000 words.

The table of contents is as follows.

Volume One: "The Yuntai Mountain Frog Hunter".

From 001 to 020, a total of 47,000 words.

Volume Two, "The Southern Journey".

From 021 to 052, a total of 67,000 words.

Volume 3, "Winter of the Manor".

From 053 to 082, a total of 75,000 words.

Volume 4, "Forest and Secret Treasure".

From 083 to 095, a total of 40,000 words.

Volume 5, "The Bone Tax".

From 096 to 111, a total of 50,000 words.

Why summarize at this time?

It's because of the overall outline design.

Volumes 1-5 brought the storyline to a close.

At this point, some brothers might be surprised. "Oh, your book actually has a plot?"

I could only nod awkwardly. "Although it's terrible, it does have a storyline."

That's right, this book is a fun and exciting novel centered around the act of swiping.

But there is actually a main storyline.

It's just that my writing skills are terrible.

Everyone subconsciously ignored it.

So when I tried to tie up some of the foreshadowing from earlier in Volume 5.

Some guys might find this a bit confusing.

This one is mine.

I'm so bad at this.

Let me develop a little longer.

The next five volumes will definitely be even better.

But no matter how poorly it turned out, the puzzle of the worldview has finally begun to unfold.

The following plot continues the same style as the first four volumes.

It's just like Volume 5.

I will bring the storyline to a close at the appropriate time.

Clean up the foreshadowing.

This will save you a lot of trouble later on.

It can be considered as completing a small jigsaw puzzle.

Once all the small puzzle pieces are collected, they can be exchanged for a large puzzle piece.

It's probably around 800,000 to 1,000,000 words.

When the first part, consisting of more than 20 volumes, was finished.

It will definitely give everyone a real, wonderful, and not just random surprise.

I can tell you this responsibly.

When it comes to designing outlines and structures, I'm truly exceptional.

My weakness is in expression and writing.

So, many plot points that are clearly very cool end up being terrible when I write them.

We can only hope for gradual improvement in the future.

Actually, from the beginning until now.

I can see significant progress myself.

The writing style was stiff and rough at first.

It's much more moisturized now.

The brothers should feel much better now.

Let me explain why I write so slowly.

Outline, chapter outline, detailed outline, daily detailed outline. (2 hours per day)

Data, rules, character cards, monster design, and other settings. (4 hours per day)

Writing. (With a well-developed outline, each chapter takes 3-4 hours.) The first two tasks are unavoidable.

If you slack off, you will definitely be punished, and that will lead to a collapse. This is also the most difficult part of writing about the game's otherworld.

The last item should be improved.

My main problem is that I have very poor communication skills and a limited vocabulary; I only use a few words at a time.

Very soon.

Not long after.

After a while.

Not long after.

I have a lot of room for improvement in this area.

Who knows, maybe it'll even become a tentacle monster someday? (Dreaming)

Finally, let me add a detail that you might have missed.

1. When Roger was fighting the Corpse Demon, most of his knowledge came from other people's legends. Everyone said that the Corpse Demon was a mage from Gem City, but the problem is that the Serra River has been closed for many years. How could it have come from Gem City? The information in Volume 5 is pieced together.

In fact, the following information can be deduced:

"The Corpse Demon is a low-level mage who comes from the Land of Buried Bones."

Wellington came to the Southern Mine because he started implementing Bone Tax.

During this period, he still maintained contact with Greyrock City, so he would plunder villages near Knight Avenue together with the necromancer army.

He didn't flee because of Roger's attack, but because he saw the Extinguishing Cloud, yet he was still captured by Roger.

But even if he had escaped, the outcome would have been pretty much the same.

2. At the same time, Roger saw the Extinguishing Cloud while fighting the Corpse Demon.

At the time, several ominous phrases were emphasized, but nothing happened afterwards.

But the ominous signs Roger sensed afterward all came true.

This implies that the ominous sign had not yet come true when he left.

The foreshadowing of the Extinguishing Cloud lies here.

The reason people find it abrupt is probably because I connected it to the main storyline.

I will learn to be smarter in the future.

The main storyline should be as simple, clear, and easy to understand as possible.

3. When Roger first entered the Underground City, he chatted with the Drow girl Ke Yi, and she mentioned "Band City".

According to Ke Yi, the Gray Dwarf of Band City are wicked and do all sorts of evil.

However, this is combined with the information about the Icadore faith of Ke Yi and the fact that the Gray Dwarf of White Moon City have become monsters.

It was actually hinted long ago that the Gray Dwarf of Band City were the normal Gray Dwarf.

The subsequent alliance was a natural progression.

The significance of these kinds of details lies in...

Those who prefer quick and easy reads won't be affected much.

Those who enjoy pondering things slowly on their own will reap great surprises, much like playing a mystery game.

My goal is...

First, ensure the reading experience for the first type of readers.

A fast-paced, enjoyable read; the most important thing is to have a satisfying read.

Occasionally, I'll give some treats to the second type of brothers.

(Actually, it's something I enjoy doing, but to be honest, writing these things is quite tiring, and I'll definitely do less of things that are thankless and exhausting.)

That's all.

Bow!

Kowtow!
