Update Notes

I'm not sure if I can continue writing. I originally wanted to keep the latest chapter under 2,000 words to avoid wasting everyone's money, but it didn't go well. Please subscribe with caution.

This book has a major problem with its design. The plot of the first Third Shinobi World War and the later plot of lending money using the system are two different types of main storylines. After the two main storylines intersected, the subscription rate dropped. I have been trying to adjust my ideas in an emergency over the past few days, but the more I think about it, the more confused I become. I have only managed to write one chapter so far today.

The design of the Golden Finger" (a powerful, overpowered ability) was also problematic. In the earlier parts of the story, before the novel was released, the Golden Finger was barely used. Even the temporary loan feature was something I added later during the writing process. These issues stemmed from the flawed design of the Golden Finger's usage, wasting a potential highlight. As creators, online novel authors should have the freedom to design how the Golden Finger is used in their works. However, due to some insignificant thoughts and concerns, I made the Golden Finger's presence very low in the early parts, and the protagonist's boasting Golden Finger were almost entirely detached from its use.

From the main plot arrangement to the design of the Golden Finger, and even the choice of plot entry points, all of these were determined by my initial plot arrangement ideas. However, because this idea itself was flawed, coupled with my laziness, I didn't consider various aspects or try to improve and adjust it. I just started writing directly according to my initial idea, and now all sorts of problems have surfaced.

There's also the protagonist's character design. A lot of readers criticized it in Chapter 11, and I admit that; it's my fault for not being good enough.

Writing a good character design, even just the main character's design, is a challenge for most online novel authors. They can only learn more by reading more books in the future.

Some readers have also mentioned the issue of the plot progression being forced, which is also related to the protagonist's character design. In the first Third Shinobi World War, I didn't write a clear enough sense of purpose for the protagonist; he was driven by the plot rather than actively pushing it forward, which resulted in a significant difference in the viewing experience.

There are probably still many issues I haven't realized. Due to the different perspectives of authors, there are some problems that I might not even be aware of, even if readers comment on them. I'll summarize these for now.

I originally planned to summarize the plot issues in my launch message before the release on the evening of the 28th, but I had something to do that night and didn't feel like summarizing it until now.
