Chapter 40

I will not discontinue this book; it is definitely intended to be finished, and the outline is complete. However, judging by the outline, it will conclude at around five hundred thousand to six hundred thousand words. I'm giving a heads-up in advance: this book doesn't have much fluff, so it's normal for the word count to be on the lower side.

But honestly, I don't feel very satisfied with what I've written. This book was written to cater to the market—a semi-invincible genius trope—and it doesn't reflect my style at all. It lacks the abstract nature and imaginative flair I prefer. After thinking about it these past few days, there are already so many books catering to the market; they don't need one more from me. Once this book concludes, I will return to my comfort zone to write.

This is actually the reason why I switched accounts to write this; I wanted to try a different style. But I discovered it just doesn't suit me.

I will be updating the side stories for my previous book over the next two days.

Finally, I'd like to recommend a new book written by a fellow author friend: Douluo Dragon King: My Girlfriend is from Twenty Thousand Years Ago.

Some of the settings were brainstormed by the two of us over meals, but his overall writing level is above mine, and it is very abstract and imaginative. There are only three chapters out so far, so you can add it to your bookshelf to let it accumulate before diving in.
