Tonight is the third watch, with ten thousand words of updates.
I hope you all enjoy the read.
I believe you have all realized by now that this book contains not only the monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but also various legendary kingdoms and figures from the long river of ancient history...
That is why I have been laying the groundwork quite slowly in the early stages.
Because, in essence, the beginning of this book is still about the resurgence of spiritual energy.
I am very fond of a quote from the great author Zhou Zi.
The resurgence of spiritual energy should focus on depicting daily life and the impact that this resurgence has on the protagonist and the world; it is about what has changed after the resurgence, not just who is fighting whom.
It is a feeling you want to convey to the reader.
In almost every book I have written about the resurgence of spiritual energy, I have emphasized these feelings at the beginning.
The bizarre and grotesque exotic beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as well as the Land of Giants, the Ghost Kingdom, the Kingdom of Fire-Eaters, the Shamaness Kingdom... these nations recorded only in legends.
And even in the future, those famous historical figures and so on...
Whenever I think about the kind of chemical reaction these existences will bring to the real world, I get so excited I cannot sleep.
So, as you all know, at the current word count, the real story has only just pulled back the curtain on its prologue.
And now, the critical issue arises...
The early data for this book is quite poor.
Don't look at the fact that it is currently ranked third in Fantasy; this is the Age of Dharma Decline, where even Qi Refining is considered a great power.
If I were to launch with the current data, I fear I would be unable to make a living.
Therefore, I would like to take advantage of this Monday to ask for monthly votes.
I want to make a final sprint in the last week of the new book rankings.
I hope you, my patrons, can spare a moment; if you feel this book is decent so far and that Xiao Qiu's attitude toward updating is acceptable, please cast a monthly vote and click to follow the updates.
Of course, I will not just talk without taking action.
Since I entered this industry, there have only been two words in my dictionary.
Effort.
Therefore, for this book, before the official launch, I will calculate based on the total number of monthly votes.
On top of the baseline of 30 chapters to be released on the day of the launch, I will add one extra chapter for every 100 monthly votes.
If there are 2,000 monthly votes in total before the launch, that will be 50 chapters. (Each chapter is 3,000 words.)
Those who know my old pen name should be aware that the peak of my old books was 30,000 words a day, with 20,000 being the norm.
So, when it comes to the small matter of massive updates, my reputation is quite solid.
You, my foster fathers, can rest assured.
Finally, thank you all, and I bow to you once again.
Please vote, please follow!~
