A Note on This Book and the Female Lead!

Dear readers, during the new release period, editors decide who gets recommendations based on performance.

Whether you're readers from Chuangshi or Qidian.

If you like this book, I sincerely ask that you save your votes for it.

Recommendation votes, bookmarks, and active comments in the book discussion forum all determine whether this book can make it onto the New Book Ranking.

Recommendation votes, bookmarks, positive reviews, and active check-in comments in the book discussion forum are all free and cost nothing. The more there are, the more popular this book becomes, and the easier it will be to enter the New Book Ranking.

For a new book, the thing I fear most is people stockpiling chapters. I sincerely ask those of you who like this book to wait until after its first month of release before you start stockpiling it.

If possible, I hope everyone can keep up with it every day before its first month of release is over. (Kneeling in thanks!) As long as it reaches the top ten of the New Book Ranking, there will be at least three updates a day! Normally, I'll maintain four updates.

After all, I basically have no time to write this book during the day. With limited time, I can only rush out chapters late at night.

And with every chapter, I put a lot of thought into how to properly shape the characters within it. Although my writing skills are limited, every character in this book is alive to me.

The Dual Guns of Douluo: A Legendary Tale is a tribute to Douluo 1, and it also serves as a way for me to make up for a regret I had after finishing Douluo 1.

Personally, I don't like harem stories. This book will absolutely not be one! When I first started writing it, I had already decided that Bibi Dong would be the female lead—the only female lead.

Other authors can control the plots they write.

But I am led along by the plot and these characters.

Just like Hu Liena's appearance. As I kept writing, coupled with inspiration, the story simply reached that point.

Hu Liena was also one of my regrets from reading Douluo 1, and now the plot has reached this point.

There has already been some ambiguity between Hu Liena and the protagonist. So even if the protagonist's heart is cold...

No matter how cold a heart is, as long as it still has feelings, it can be warmed.

Personally, I don't like ambiguous relationships. As an old webnovel reader, I've long grown tired of harem novels, and stud novels go without saying. Now, whenever I see them, I feel like this book should have no more than these two female leads: Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

If there were only one female lead, then I wouldn't like to see Hu Liena's eventual fate turn out that way.

Even if these two female leads do end up together with him, the emotional development between the protagonist and them will definitely be built up little by little. It will happen naturally, when the time is right. There definitely won't be that sort of instant love at first sight, or a hundred-percent affection level where someone would give up their life or do anything for the protagonist.

That just feels ridiculous.

A relationship must have shared experiences. You give, I give—mutual effort is what makes a relationship.

Feelings accumulated bit by bit are what truly count as feelings, as love.

Take me, the author, for example. I had an early romance. My first love and I met in middle school, sitting at the desks in front of and behind each other.

Back then, the teacher found out and called in our parents. Right in front of her parents, the teacher said,

"Ah, you're dating someone like this? Someone who studies poorly and only knows how to read novels instead of studying.

"What, are you going to beg for food and pick up trash with him in the future?"

But eight years have passed. My wife and I went from being in the same class at the same middle school to attending the same high school.

Although we weren't in the same class, our classrooms were on floors directly above and below each other.

Then we went through four years of college together. We've now been together for eight years.

We're doing pretty well. At the very least, it didn't turn out like that teacher said, with my wife having to pick up trash and beg for food with me.

And my wife's parents and younger brother all like me very much.

We were each other's first loves, and after going through eight years together, it feels as though the two of us are a novel ourselves.

We're very happy now, but over these eight years, we've also argued—big fights, small fights, hundreds of them. I honestly can't remember them all.

At first, I was the one who brought up breaking up. Later on, she was the one who brought it up every time.

The longest we ever broke up was only once, and that was for one month.

After that, no breakup lasted more than three days. Either she would come looking for me, or I would go looking for her.

The reason we could always find each other and forgive each other, whether it was a big fight or a small one, was because we had walked through those eight years together. Every little bit of it had already been imprinted in our minds and hearts.

So, the romantic development in this book will also be built up and developed bit by bit.

As for the personal experience I mentioned above, there is one prerequisite: no matter how big or small the fight is, don't get physical. Especially for men—even if a woman hits you, as a man, don't hit a woman. I don't care what other people think or feel; personally, I deeply despise men who hit their own women.

Second, no matter how big or small the argument is, you can forgive each other—but the prerequisite is that neither of you commits a fundamental betrayal of trust. The most serious thing is betrayal.

I've rambled on so much about this book that I ended up talking about myself.

Please vote, bookmark, and comment! Be active!

Please don't stockpile chapters. A lot of books really do disappear while people are stockpiling them.

As a low-ranking author like me, I really like looking at the backend data.

Especially when I wake up in the morning—the first thing I do is check the numbers.

Wow! So many new bookmarks and recommendation votes today. Wow! So many people actually commented that they liked it.

The moment I see that, my inspiration and motivation to write surge instantly.

No one would be willing to see their results become a complete mess and still keep their passion burning.

People like that are one in ten thousand.

Finally, this book needs everyone's support.

How far this book can go and whether it can earn any honors will all depend on you.

Thank you for your support. Please continue to look after me in the future. I'll work even harder here. (To every reader who has read this book, whether you liked it or not, as long as you read it, I offer you a bow and my respect.) Good night, everyone!

Going to sleep, going to sleep. This dog life is more important! (Dog-head emoji for protection!)
