I had never written this kind of beast-taming story before, so there were many shortcomings. The results were only so-so, hovering around a thousand average subscriptions, while beast-taming stories of the same type had all become premium hits or even reached ten thousand subscriptions. That was my problem. I'll take a break for a while. Many thanks to all the readers who have supported me, and thanks as well to those who offered fair and constructive suggestions. Some readers said things that were hard to hear, but there was still some truth in them. I'll do my best to improve.
Writing a book was like driving a train. Once it had traveled a long stretch, it was not easy to turn; taking a wide turn was even harder. It wasn't that I didn't want to change. Forcing a sharp, sweeping turn might derail the train beyond repair, so all I could say was that I would try my best. Finally, thank you again to all the readers who have supported me. The road through the jianghu is long; see you again after some time.
