Hello everyone, this is Blue Sky.

Unknowingly, it is already the third book. I recall the first time I published a book in Qidian. I didn't even know how to contact the internal submission, and I was filled with emotion.

Thanks to editor North River, who fished me out and got me signed when I was about to give up, and also to the editors Whisk, Canaan, and who have been responsible for connecting with me until now. Agarwood guys, occasionally I got timely help and solutions for problems that occurred because I was not familiar with the website mechanism. If you want to try writing online articles, you can also submit articles to them. Now you can directly find their submission contact information in the backend of the Writer Assistant website.

In a sense, I am not a mature online writer. I am often not sure about some cool writing routines, and occasionally I will be laughed at by everyone. It is better not to write those clumsy slap-in-the-face plots ( ̄ε(# ̄)☆╰╮( ̄▽ ̄///)

But I still have to write. After all, online writing is not prose. It requires some anticipation, excitement, and pleasure, but the proportion may not be as high as other online writings.

The power system of this book draws on parts of Cultist Simulator and Book of Hours. If you are interested, you can try to play this series of games (which are relatively complex). The story is mainly about the protagonist's adventure, getting stronger, farming, and making money. Occasionally, some key historical events will be added, and the grand curtain of the world will be unveiled.

Regarding female protagonists, strictly speaking, I just prefer the "girly" attributes of female characters, the kind of charm that is between youthfulness and maturity, purity and enchantment.

This is probably related to my fondness for watching anime when I was a child, such as <Sailor Moon><Cardcaptor Sakura>, and later <Rozen Maiden><Puella Magi Madoka Magica><Revue Starlight>, etc.

Personally, I feel that the three animations that have had a greater influence on my creation should be <The Twelve Kingdoms> <Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle> <Pandora Hearts>. These three animations were all released relatively early. Not many friends may know about them now, but I still want to recommend them to everyone.

<The Twelve Kingdoms> is an animation adapted from the novel of the same name created by Fuyumi Ono. It tells the story of the innocent child Yoko who travels through China to Classic of Mountains and Seas and Zhou Dynasty. The imaginary world with the theme of system, the story of a timid and cowardly person, who finally transforms into a mature and qualified king step by step. There are many discussions about human nature and national systems. Although it cannot be compared with serious politics, it is enough to make many ignorant people gain something.

The protagonist of <Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle> is actually the otherworldly counterpart of the protagonist of <Cardcaptor Sakura>, but it's just what they look like when they grow up. Compared to <Cardcaptor Sakura>, which is more of a fairy tale, this one is a bit sadder, involving themes such as lifespan, promises, fate, etc.

<Pandora Hearts> is a very amazing comic. Readers who are familiar with it will know that in fact, in my story setting of <Not a Witch>, the inspiration for the four Dukes of the Empire came from this comic. I pursue the secrets of the tragedy a hundred years ago and reveal the truth of the past bit by bit. This British-style work with a contracted mysterious spirit is an extremely rare masterpiece.

Since you like beautiful, beautiful and dreamy girls, you should create such characters and works to satisfy your inner drive.

In the early days of writing, a female reader actually complained to me, saying that girls in reality are not like this at all, so I asked her some questions out of curiosity.

Indeed, if I write according to her words, it will probably be consistent with reality, but this goes against my original intention.

What I like is probably the kind of perfect dreamy girl character in youth fantasy. If I want to completely deviate from reality, I will lose that hazy love, which will cause my motivation to write to drop sharply (it is really hard to accept_(:з"∠)_)

Therefore, since novels are the product of fantasy, it would be boring if they all adhered to reality. In addition, reality is also very strange, so it is difficult to say that there is an exact standard.

After talking about the "girl heroine" issue, let's talk about the story style. Readers who have read my first two books probably know that I still have some experience and preference for the structure of the world view. I often intersperse some poems, legends, historical changes, etc. from the background history to make the world more lifelike.

The beauty of a big tree lies not only in the blooming flowers, but also in the thick branches and leaves and the deep root system.

I hope that these interspersed legends and histories will allow everyone to better immerse themselves in the small world of this book.

If you don't hate this style and theme, then I will be very happy and will try my best to show you a magnificent and wonderful world.

If you are a new reader who also likes this style, you can also read my other book <Not a Witch>. The two have many similarities, but they are also different. As for the book <The Witch Doesn't Want to Be a Diva>, there are indeed some regrets, so you can read it selectively.

Finally, thank you very much for your support!

This is Blue Sky, see you next time.
