First, let me say something important. In the latest chapter, someone said that we cannot spare the lives of the Er Ming Da Ming.
What they said makes a lot of sense, and I've taken it all to heart.
So I decided to let them die.
The current plan is for Wang Dong'er to defeat them, and then Niu Tian to commit suicide so that Dong'er can live happily in Chaldea in the future.
This approach might make her seem less like a clown.
Even the clown couldn't change things. It's come to this point, and I had to choose between preserving Dong'er's character and preserving the overall values of the book. I chose the latter. It was all my fault, and I'm sorry I didn't handle it well.
If any readers can come up with a way to kill off Da Ming Er Ming without making Dong'er seem so clownish, please feel free to offer your suggestions. After all, as long-time readers know, I, as a new author, don't have many strengths, but one of my few is that I listen to advice. If what you say makes sense, I'm willing to change the plot.
Now that we've covered the important stuff, it's time for some venting and honesty.
This is my first book, and for a newcomer, the results are quite good.
However, this does not mean I am satisfied. On the contrary, many seeds of Destruction were sown from the beginning, making my writing very difficult now.
First, the female lead's character.
I'm actually a fan of pure romance stories, and I generally prefer single-female-lead works given the same quality. However, I wrote multiple female leads in my early works and made a promise to my readers about it.
What can I do? I have to finish the path I chose, even if I have to crawl on my knees. Besides, I made a promise. Even though that reader may not be reading my novel right now, I still don't want to break the vow I made.
The fact that they can't handle it now is their own fault.
All I can say is that in my next novel, I'll write a harem story again; I'm XXXX.
Second, the protagonist's strength.
I said I wouldn't suppress the protagonist's strength, and I won't.
An agreement is an agreement; once spoken, it's like water spilled—you can't go back on your word.
However, it must be said that this resulted in the protagonist's combat power being severely excessive.
After all, those who can instantly kill four rings with one ring at the start, or six rings with three rings, will only get stronger in the later stages.
There aren't many things left for him to fight on the Douluo Continent.
Thanks to this, the book might be finished much faster than I expected.
Third, ability settings.
Some readers have reported that the game isn't as fun as it used to be without the interaction with Heroic Spirit.
I know that too. Actually, as an author, I prefer writing the kind of lighthearted, everyday stuff I used to write, rather than just pushing the plot forward like this.
I also wanted to write a story about Heroic Spirit, but I can't.
The reason is simple, the same reason for removing the Heroic Spirit Romance storyline: there are too many Servant.
Even excluding the seven most recently summoned Servant begin with, not counting those that might be summoned later.
As a new student, I simply can't write an article that satisfies me and highlights the characteristics of each Heroic Spirit, even with a daily writing target of 4,000 words.
Again, due to overly simplistic thinking at the beginning and insufficient personal ability, I can only beg for forgiveness from the readers here.
The recent storyline was actually very difficult for me to write, especially these past two days when I had a fever and was feeling both physically and mentally unwell, which made it even more unbearable.
Thank you all for your support. I will continue to update daily, and I will read every reader's message, answer any questions, and consider any suggestions.
But I don't really want to focus my main energy on this book right now. I've decided to try starting a new book to prepare for the next one.
My new book is currently under review; I hope it will be signed smoothly.
Thank you all for your continued support.
