First Part Concluding Thoughts and June Summary (3,700 Words of Nonsense Warning)

Hello everyone.

I am "Loli Zhan," a barbarian trainee who has been practicing for half a month.

As the one destined to save Quinan.

Today I'm going to take down the lair of the little boss, Vilan!

Um.

After all, he is the final boss of the first chapter.

It shouldn't be too difficult.

My martial arts skills.

You didn't train for nothing! Take this!...

two thousand years later...

I'd better go check out a guide!

Narrator: The timeline has been successfully closed! A new story is about to begin... Loading...

Call.

The first part is finally finished.

This foreshadowing was planted in the first chapter.

It's finally all under control.

This feeling is really quite enjoyable.

The process was a bit agonizing.

On the one hand, it has to be kept secret.

On the other hand, we also have to carefully bury something.

Let's bury something.

It shouldn't be too obvious.

Otherwise, it would be too easy to expose them.

It shouldn't be too cryptic either.

That would be abrupt—

Speaking of this...

During the early stages of writing.

Many of my friends have pointed out that my plot transitions are somewhat abrupt.

And that's precisely why.

I later changed the script for Legacy of Time.

The original script wasn't like this.

That is also an ingenious structure.

But it is quite different from the current version.

This is done to give a prior indication.

The advantages are...

Everything became more logical and natural.

The connection is now much smoother.

The downside is...

Actually, some readers probably guessed it beforehand.

For example, book lover Kai Sha Kai.

It seems that he wrote a similar chapter after finishing the Legacy of Time.

I just haven't figured out what means to use to achieve it.

That lacks impact.

If we don't write the section about the Legacy of Time.

It might be even more shocking.

But this is already a relatively ideal result after weighing the pros and cons.

And in response to this result.

Like a jigsaw puzzle.

You can find clues in the book, including but not limited to the following:

"1. The Loli Zhan was repeatedly killed 99 times by the boss at the end of the First Stage is unreasonable in itself. In this book, there may be one, two, three, or even more underlying reasons behind all the unreasonable aspects."

"2. Roger recalled that Vilan had many specialties and was skilled in combat, with a unique and unpredictable style."

"3. While traveling between Mi Star and Quinan, Roger had already touched different versions of himself from different time periods because of the 'unknown hand,' which actually foreshadows a possible formal encounter in the future. As noted on the Möbius Ring, time is a ring, and so is history..."

"4. The Legacy of Time. Sir Blue Will. Hints at a possibility."

"5. When the 13 items were retrieved from the seabed, Roger pondered deeply about who to replicate the puppet body mold from..."

6. Some Easter eggs about Asgard

Actually.

Looking back in hindsight

This structural design is nothing special.

It's as simple as casually weaving in some foreshadowing while delivering a ton of exciting moments.

It's mainly about perseverance and patience.

But I'm still quite proud.

This ability to grasp the structure and the big picture.

This proves that the existence of my five major documents—the general outline, the section outline, the volume outline, the plot development, and the daily detailed outline—is meaningful.

As for the game's lore, Monster Compendium, attribute summary, character cards, skill chart, job tree, calculation formulas, Two-Dimensional World setting, and BOSS database...

It should also be meaningful.

Ah.

I wish someone would whisper something in my ear right now.

Ten Years One Key is really amazing!

Instead.

The Ten Years One Key is truly meticulous! Just like I replied in the book club group this morning—

No author is born with such meticulous attention to detail.

Only diligence can make up for lack of talent.

Because I take my writing very seriously.

I don't want to be too rigid in my summary today.

I'll write down whatever comes to mind.

Please forgive any inconsistencies in the text.

Let me have some fun.

We just mentioned "diligence can make up for lack of talent".

I think I'm a really hardworking author.

Certainly.

Some of my colleagues might think I'm always taking leave.

That's right.

Ask for leave.

But it doesn't affect diligence.

I swear on the name of "Loli Zhan".

Every time I ask for leave.

It wasn't because my laziness flared up.

Rather, it's for the purpose of creating better works.

For example.

The situation in mid-June was worrying.

I took a total of 4 days off.

But after a month, he still updated 190,000 words.

This can't be considered lazy, at least not.

Let me briefly mention my writing status here.

I work at least 10 hours a day.

A major chapter may appear in 12 hours.

Half of that time was spent on detailed outlines, settings, and concepts.

And I type slowly.

It's fucking slow.

Initially, it was an average of 1,000 words per hour.

I can barely reach the 1500 mark now.

So on days when I don't take leave.

The daily update count of nearly 7,000 words is really a lot of pressure for me.

Certainly.

I know this is my profession.

Readers can only see what you write.

Nobody cares if detailed outlines are released.

So I'm just saying all this to defend myself.

Ask for leave.

It's really for the sake of better creation.

Especially.

I'm the kind of person who doesn't keep a draft when I'm caught up in something.

For example, early this morning.

I know everyone is suffering the most from the wait.

We must find a way to make everyone feel good all at once.

The consequences of this are...

After the passion subsided.

They are also prone to encountering a slump in performance.

Taking leave often happens at times like these.

Some people say...

You can save drafts.

No.

It can't be saved.

Not at least not now.

If I find anything good, I'll definitely share it with everyone.

Not to mention that trying to stockpile drafts would inevitably slow down updates.

However, when the update speed slows down, the reading speed drops drastically.

This is fatal for a serialized book.

Many people talk about nurturing books.

But after a while, it disappeared.

From the time the book was first published until now.

I have replied to many people in the comments section of this chapter.

End of Part 1.

I don't know how many people are still here.

Speaking of which...

I suddenly feel like doing a small survey.

When did you all start reading this book?

That's all I've said.

It's not really a complaint.

In my opinion.

This is what online literature is all about.

The extremely high level of real-time feedback, coupled with the immense pressure to update, compels authors to write works brimming with passion.

But correspondingly.

The pressure to meet the daily word count also limited further development.

I reread many chapters today.

I have many regrets.

There are many places.

I can write better!

Many scenarios.

I can write something even cooler! Lots of plot points.

I could have come up with something even more ingenious.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

The plot of this book.

Could I write something even more brilliant in other books?

I'm not even sure myself.

Many times, it really is a stroke of genius.

For example, the Ancient Twin Dragons' grappling move.

For example, the echo of the Legacy of Time.

For example, the Whale Shark King's staged accident.

I myself feel that I might not be able to write these kinds of plots in the future.

Compared to the level of brilliance displayed.

I feel that my handling of the situation was not optimal.

Although these plot points were all carefully foreshadowed.

Take the Whale Shark King as an example.

To make him stage an accident for Roger.

I designed this chain of clues—

"Harpy" / "Sky Nest" / "Sky Cable Car" / "Astral White Whale" / "Whale Leap Incident" / "Beluga Dream" / "Whale Shark King Successfully Stages an Accident!"

First Ring after First Ring.

The structure is really fine.

The problem lies in the details and the wording.

There's nothing we can do about it.

I can only say that my writing skills still need to improve rapidly.

I hope that in the future I can express what I want to say more clearly and powerfully!

Let's revisit the first part.

I'd give myself a 6 out of 10.

The maximum score is 10 points.

It passed because the structure was in place.

There are plenty of exciting moments.

There is no better reason, as mentioned above.

I am aware of the shortcomings in character development and scene description.

Actually, I've been trying it out a little bit all along.

For example, the recent case of Little Beya.

Speaking of Beatrice.

I can't help but think about the other characters in the last two volumes.

White Wolf.

Fairy Lord.

I designed backstories for almost all the supporting characters.

But when I was writing it, I found it simply wouldn't work!

Ultimately, the only option is to cut most of them.

And there's the previous Vera line.

As Vilan's daughter.

She deserved more playing time.

However, various factors need to be considered.

I still marginalized her.

Ahhhhhh.

This is because my writing skills are insufficient! It's also because my foundation is inadequate—

I dare not slowly develop the character descriptions one by one, supporting characters at a time.

I don't yet have the qualifications to make readers have an exceptionally high level of patience to wait.

I can only keep making choices.

Let me digress a bit here.

Yesterday's chapter discussed Vilan's harem.

Actually, that paragraph wasn't just to reach the word count.

Rather, it was to echo some clues mentioned earlier and to add some details to this storyline:...

"Vilan has many children / Vera attempted to kill her father."

There are many similar things.

However, these things seem less convincing if they are never said aloud by oneself.

That's why I rarely mention it.

I really hope to become a master.

Every foreshadowing element in the writing has been interpreted, or even over-interpreted.

Whenever someone notices the little Easter egg I painstakingly set up.

That feeling was truly wonderful.

That's one of my two favorite bonds between authors and readers.

As for the other one...

It means companionship.

The book has been serialized for a long time.

The motives of both the storyteller and the viewer have become impure.

I read everyone's comments on this chapter Celestial Capital.

You can then get a sense of companionship.

Sometimes it feels like we're old friends.

This feeling.

For me, who currently has zero social interaction in real life.

It is of utmost importance.

Thank you everyone.

What else do I want to say? It seems that besides venting my frustrations about how hard it is to write online novels, how I'm exhausted by writing these 1.6 million words, and how I've been writing for almost 9 months, when will I finish and get a break? I don't have anything else to say for the time being.

But our story is ultimately just a stopover.

The first chapter has come to an end.

Loli Zhan...

No.

Roger's journey across the Nine Great Planets has only just begun.

Certainly.

Don't worry, everyone, I'll become a ruthless water king.

This book contains a total of 4 parts.

The word count of the first part is roughly equivalent to the total word count of the three parts (234).

In other words...

The subsequent three books are all around 600,000 to 700,000 words each.

The total word count should be between 3 million and 3.3 million words.

It won't exceed that by much.

It won't be too little either.

As for the completion time.

It's similar to what I wrote in my previous summary of the first five volumes.

It will be around March to June next year.

In other words...

This book will be with you for at least another 9 months.

We hope everyone will support the official subscription.

If you can afford it, you can opt for a custom order. I really wouldn't cheat anyone out of their money!

The author makes a living from this.

I also hope everyone will vote with more monthly tickets.

We've completed all the recommended channels for this book.

From now on, the only exposure will be the monthly ticket rankings.

It's difficult to achieve consistently high sales.

It's still too niche.

Therefore, the monthly ticket ranking is the only way to gain exposure.

It is also the only source of new subscriptions.

This is the main reason why I shamelessly keep asking for votes even when I'm late for updates or taking leave.

Let's talk about something else.

Oh, right.

The character "Beatrice" was released today.

Please give this a thumbs up!

There are also "Cindy" and "Lymph".

After you finish reading the book, please click on the character list and give it a like.

We don't need to ask for a certain number of stars.

Why is it that the number of likes for several girls is not as high as that for the Magic Explosion Frog?

Do you really think Roger is carrying the team because of the Magic Explosion Frog? Star rating and stuff don't matter.

But could you give me a Cindy character skin? Also...

The draft of Cindy's character design was already posted in the group.

I estimate the images will be available soon.

It's pretty good.

If there is a chance.

I'll also buy other people's character illustrations with my own money.

Having pictures makes all the difference!

At last.

Let's talk a little about what happened next.

The planetary journey that some readers are looking forward to will not begin until the third book.

The main storyline of the second part still revolves around the Kui Mi Twin Stars, Multiple Histories, and the World-Ending Forbidden Spell.

I may make some changes and try things out next.

Try to write something new.

Certainly.

The scenes featuring the good brothers are indispensable.

After all, there are still many maps waiting for the Loli Zhan in Twin Stars... Pshaw!

Waiting for Roger to drive it.

There's also a new map: Sea of Ruins.

Whale sharks are also very vengeful creatures.

And this is accompanied by the return of history and the emergence of the Abyss of Destruction.

The secrets of Qi Refiner.

Where did Black Tune and his companion go?

The Gods' Schemes.

They will also surface one by one.

The scenes I had conceived in my mind.

Just thinking about it gets my blood pumping!

"Notification: A pre-updated game version has been detected. Download now?"

"Pre-update complete: Part 2, Dust of History, is officially implemented on July 5th. Stay tuned!"

Finally, I would like to thank the leader of [Er Bu Wen Qin Yu].

I'm still asking for monthly votes!...
