When I first started writing this story for laughs, getting a contract was already a surprise. When my editor said it could go premium, that surprised me even more.
Honestly, the folks on the Peerless Tang Sect forum should know what this story for laughs is writing about, and what it will write about next.
Sometimes, when I thought about it, even I found it dull and frustrating.
Everyone could see that this story hadn't given Old Huo any particularly powerful cheats, like an invincible system or some heaven-defying buff borrowed from another combat-and-beast-fighting power system, such as the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao's "desolate ancient sacred body."
The reason I kept Old Huo dancing in the shackles of Three Waters' established framework was to show what had happened to him since Peerless Tang Sect ended in 2014.
Honestly, any Peerless Tang Sect reader who followed the later works could tell that, after 2014, starting with The Great Way of the Heavenly Flame, Three Waters wanted to systematically reset everything from before 2014.
Otherwise, when Three Waters promoted The Great Way of the Heavenly Flame toward the end of Peerless Tang Sect, he wouldn't have said he wanted to create some bullshit story about cultivating a tall, rich, handsome man.
Put plainly, Old Huo had already become Tang San's toy. After Qiankun Asking Love Valley, this protagonist was effectively banished to the cold palace and stripped of his position as the lead. Three Waters wanted to start a new game, using a tall, rich, handsome protagonist to cover up the shadows hanging over the miserable Old Huo.
Fortunately, The Great Way of the Heavenly Flame, the book Three Waters claimed would let him "break through his own limits," fell apart midway and fizzled out. It became his first book sustained
