Hehe, Volume 1 is finished. It took more Shaoshao imagined.

Initially, Shaoshao planned to write about a hundred chapters to get the first volume going, but she ended up writing a whopping 150 chapters.

Well, actually, I never planned to write too much in this novel Shaoshao the beginning. I only planned to finish it in about a hundred chapters.

As it turned out, the content exceeded my expectations. The number of chapters I originally anticipated was only enough to finish the first volume.

Shaoshao, I will continue to work hard on writing. I don't think you need to worry about whether the book will start well or end poorly.

Although this is Shaoshao's first time writing a novel, Shaoshao will still take responsibility!

( ง⁼̴̀ω⁼̴́)ง⁼³₌₃

To be Shaoshao, I didn't feel as good as I had imagined about the first volume ending.

After all, everyone has fantasies. Shaoshao first, I didn't think my novel would be a big hit. I thought that after the first volume was finished, at least tens of thousands of people would read it and the rating would be above nine points.

But the result...꒦ິ^꒦ິ

I'm definitely sad, but I'll keep trying. Please continue to support Shaoshao; your support is my greatest motivation!

Next, I'll address some of the most frequently asked questions by readers.

The first issue is Hela's romantic relationships.

As for whether Hela will become a saint, there's no need to worry. Hela's emotions did become somewhat confused later on.

The main reason is that his past actions and the deaths of members of the Special Investigation Squad have created a conflict between his current feelings and his past behavior.

However, after Ye Yiqing's words and some subsequent events, everyone can still rest assured about Hela.

The second, and most frequently discussed, issue is Hela's combat strength.

Everyone says Shaoshao Hela's combat power has been underestimated, but actually, that's partly true; the main problem lies with Hela herself.

After all, the reason it was so strong in the first place was because Hela had to fight to survive, or at least that's what Hela herself thought.

After infiltrating human society, Hela was already well-off and no longer needed to worry about whether she would survive.

Because unlike other animals and humans, she doesn't possess the ambition and instinct to climb upwards and strive to become stronger.

Hela just wanted to survive; for Hela at that time, simply surviving was enough.

She joined the investigation team, and her desire to eat the Variant stemmed from the belief that the abundant energy would prolong her life.

Hela's talent is indeed strong, and her evolution and learning abilities are nothing short of freakish, but she still has to learn eventually.

No matter how strong Hela's talent is, it's useless if she doesn't learn. That's why Hela's strength is so weak—because she feels that learning is unnecessary, and becoming stronger isn't really necessary either.

However, Hela's power will increase significantly in the next volume!

Hela finally doesn't have to be a subservient grandson anymore!

Uh... okay, that's all I can say, otherwise I'll be giving away spoilers.

Ahem, ahem, Hela will develop her abilities on her own later, so don't worry.

We try to balance the combat power Shaoshao as possible, and I personally think it's balanced at the moment.

For characters with exceptional strength, there should be restrictions where necessary, and weaknesses where appropriate.

The most controversial character right now is [ Heroic Spirit ] Tiantian. The strength he has shown so far is indeed quite extraordinary considering his age.

However, I will describe it in detail later, so please read on then.

Well, next up is my writing style. After all, this is my first time writing a novel, so there's nothing I can do about it if my writing isn't very good.

Shaoshao, I will seriously study and improve my writing skills from now on.

Shaoshao hasn't actually read many novels, doesn't have much life experience, and rarely pays attention to details.

I was completely unaware of any of the novel's flaws or shortcomings at the beginning.

However, after reading over 100 chapters, Shaoshao has made great progress; the only remaining issue is her writing style.

If you have any questions, feel free to @ me in the comments or leave a comment directly.

I'll likely read Shaoshao of the chapters unless they're from a very long time ago, and I can answer some questions directly.

As for character descriptions, I think I did pretty well!

ꉂ೭(˵¯̴͒ꇴ¯̴͒˵)౨"

But I feel that most readers dislike Keke and Han Xiaoxiao. Sigh, I didn't really consider that much when I first wrote these two characters.

It's just Shaoshao issue. I'll try my best to portray these two characters well in the future, but they definitely won't fall apart.

As for the amount of screen time... I'll write it as I see fit, neither deliberately adding more nor deliberately reducing it.

If I had to pick one of my favorite characters...

Hehe, it's Ye Yiqing.

After all, he's really handsome! He dotes on his younger brother, is gentle, good-looking, and incredibly polite.

He's probably my favorite villain.

Many readers have commented on the brothers' betrayal, saying it was rather sudden.

But Shaoshao's intention was to make the reader feel more surprised, because if there were some foreshadowing beforehand, it would be easy for people to guess that the two of them were undercover agents.

I think that actually made it less interesting. Besides, there were some subtle details in the setup beforehand, I don't know if you guys noticed them.

Well, my favorite character on the Night Star faction is...

Hehe, Si Xiaobei. (Evil grin)

After all, who wouldn't love such a cute little boy? He's also a gentle boy who blushes easily and is considerate of others.

ԅ( ¯་། ¯ԅ)

It's a pity he's dead. The Shaoshao we could do was let him die first, to spare him some suffering.

As for the upcoming plot, Shaoshao will still follow the outline, so she won't reveal too much for now.

However, I must say that the worldview of this world is still very vast (at least in my opinion).

What has been shown so far is only the tip of the iceberg; there are still enormous secrets in this world waiting for Hela to discover.

Also, as you may have noticed in the first volume, Hela is the main character, but she doesn't have a lot of screen time.

There was nothing that could be done; after all, that child was naive and didn't think much of what he was doing. He just followed the crowd, going with the flow.

However, that won't happen in the next volume. The next volume will mainly focus on Hela and her growth experience.

As for how long this novel will probably be...

I'll probably write another three or four hundred chapters, but it might be shorter, or it might be more.

Another issue is the pairing. Hela? It's impossible for them to be together. Honestly, I find that relationship toxic.

But Ye Yiqing might have more interactions with Hela later on, I don't know if you guys would like to see that.

I don't know if you readers like Ye Yiqing's family, but I Shaoshao quite like them.

Uh, I'll stop my thoughts here. I really don't know what else to write. This is like writing an essay, it's so painful.

If you have any further questions, please let me know, and I'll make some changes.

Finally, let me emphasize again: try to avoid keeping books unread or unused, Shaoshao seeing the numbers steadily declining every day can be very discouraging.
