Closing remarks (with some rambling)

Let's talk about the plot first, in a serious tone.

If you'd like to learn more about the new book, you can skip to the end.

In the end, Chen Yi has a wife and children, and his strength can be described as invincible. On the path of "Analysis of All Things", he will eventually transcend the lord and leave a blank space.

Then, together with a large number of powerful individuals, they marched into the Origin Continent.

I had two ideas for the ending of the story, one of which was the last paragraph of Chapter 126.

The protagonist's voice echoed in Morosa's mind, questioning Morosa to echo the last sentence of the synopsis, leaving a large blank space for contemplation, thus concluding the story.

But I feel that if we do it that way, the protagonist seems a bit too empty.

These past two days I've been thinking... about how to make the ending better, until I came up with a direction. I started to think about the protagonist of my story, examining his whole life.

Treat everything as real.

On Earth, he awakens his past life memories, obtains the Cloud Raising Mirror, grows and develops with Luo Feng, and with the addition of one Cloud Nourishing object after another, he continuously uses the Cloud Raising Mirror to pursue the improvement of his strength while maximizing benefits.

It seems that only those who possess absolute power and are truly worthy of freedom and unbridled freedom are truly powerful and devoured by the worldview of freedom.

But...

Later, Chen Yi became the leader of the Human Race. He cultivated for a long time and became like other powerful figures.

I didn't write about the interactions between the protagonist and his family, but they definitely existed; I just didn't write them.

But aside from his family, he seems to be increasingly inclined to become a Human Race leader, existing for the sake of destroying World Beast, existing to become stronger, and becoming more and more mechanized.

Therefore, I ultimately plan to add a wife and children to fill in the human aspects of the protagonist. I hope Chen Yi is more like a human being, rather than a mechanical device that is good at calculating data in order to become stronger for himself and for the prosperity of the Human Race.

Since there wasn't much room to create the female protagonist's image, I deliberately left it blank, not writing too much about her and keeping her concept vague.

In other words, what kind of wife do you envision? What kind of mindset do you believe a protagonist should have, that allows them to become an ordinary person? That's what she should be like.

It filled in the protagonist's humanity.

What follows is a series of rambling thoughts and my true feelings. The last time I finished writing this was on August 11th, and now it's October 13th, just two months ago.

This book was started hastily and finished hastily.

In my opinion, the protagonist of the "cloud-based cultivation" genre should start as a powerful being from the universe, without any special advantages; all he has is his understanding of the original work.

Then, since he himself wasn't a genius, his plan was to cultivate geniuses on Earth, use his own resources to help them, thereby earning resources to drive his own improvement—and so on, to write stories.

This seems more interesting and also avoids connections to the previous book, allowing for the writing of a new story.

However, this project eventually has to come to an end.

I showed everyone the September royalties for this book in the group chat; it was 1,800 yuan. Yes... the whole book took two months to complete, with 400,000 words. Including this month's little bit, it might be around 3,000 yuan.

Because it wasn't released on the 1st of last month and wasn't a full month yet, and this month ends today, it's also not a full month yet, so neither of us had perfect attendance.

On average, less than 1,500 yuan per month

This is just a brief reflection on the results. Actually, I've always felt a bit sorry for everyone. Although I've written so much, I haven't made any money, which seems like a huge loss. But for everyone, Qidian for paid reading.

My previous book was undoubtedly much better, but this one isn't as good as the previous one, though the price is the same.

For everyone involved, it's a loss.

Ningmeng can only thank everyone for their support here----

For me, I didn't make any money, but I did learn something. Even encountering a pitfall is a learning experience; nobody falls into a pit every day.

Your skill level has improved. If this book isn't good enough, why worry about it not being good enough in the future?

This time.

The preparation for the new book will take longer.

In terms of subject matter, I'm returning to my previous original works. This time, I'm going to tell a story, a story of another world, instead of a story where a cheat ability runs through the entire book.

Instead, it's similar to "Swallowed Star," where Luo Feng's first cheat ability is his Spirit Reader Talent, followed by his Brain Domain Width, the Yunmo Star Inheritance, the Golden Horned Beast, treasures from the Thunder World, and so on.

Of course, this only refers to the "golden finger" method, not the genre. I wouldn't touch urban martial arts genres because they're not likely to be popular.

Having written books for many years, this is how I started writing stories. I wrote "Legend of Chuanxuan," but I couldn't get a contract because it lacked originality, I didn't understand pacing, and the story dragged on. Now, so many years later, I've improved a lot, and I've mastered pacing myself.

I'm going to start writing truly original stories, instead of just original, imaginative plots.

Everything is integrated into the plot; the story's framework is already in place—a very interesting story, but at its core, it's still a thrilling read.

The essence of online literature is entertainment, and I'm not a newbie, so I'm not going to be foolish enough to write something too artsy.

The new book features an original worldview, a story framework that runs throughout the entire text, and a worldview that is layered upon layered.

However, in order to lower the reading threshold, reduce the complexity of the setting, and avoid making the reading too cumbersome, while retaining the meaning of relaxation and entertainment, the initial world view will be based on an urban setting.

But the overall worldview will be very vast.

I've already thought of some foreshadowing ideas, but I need more time to prepare this time.

It's uncertain when it will be released.

It might take half a month, or a month, or even longer. This time, the preparation will be more thorough. At least the overall framework of the book's major events needs to be prepared, since it's an original work.

What we have now is a story, a framework for a world view, some basic settings, and a brief narrative.

The core story of a "cool and satisfying" novel, a story focused on masterful plot development, is the direction I'm currently heading towards for further improvement.

This book is now complete.

My fanfiction Ningmeng "Swallowing the Stars" may be coming to a temporary halt. "Swallowed Star" is a wonderful novel. I rarely read fanfiction, and I almost never finish reading an entire book of it, but I did write some.

He also wrote two more books.

My previous book, "Loans for Luo Feng," did very well, and I enjoyed reading it myself, often rereading it, because my writing pace is actually different from most other fanfiction authors.

No pressure, no procrastination, a single main storyline, a clear objective, and the result achieved through a cheat code.

I believe many people will like it.

But during the creation of this book, I realized that I couldn't write that kind of fast-paced, fast-paced, exciting novel anymore. Changing the Devouring World might work, but if the worldview is the same, some things must be repeated under the same logic.

The repetitive storylines made me lose my creative passion.

I don't know if I'll ever write another Devouring fanfic. If I do, it will probably be a story with almost no cheat codes, relying on the plot structure—that way, maybe I can rekindle some passion.

But now, I have a very interesting original story in my head, and I want to write it down, and write it brilliantly.

I have a feeling this story might take me to new heights.

To meet more readers.

If you'd like to chat with me or with everyone, you can join the group by checking out the synopsis of my previous book, "Swallowed Star: Starting with Providing a Loan to Luo Feng." I'm quite active in the group.

Of course... there are probably quite a few group members still watching it now.

This book has come to an end. Thank you all for your support. Parting is always bittersweet. I hope to see you all again in the future!

I hope everyone will still enjoy the next installment.

The announcement for the new book will be made in this book and the previous book. If you're interested, you can check them out. I have a feeling you might see me on the bestseller list for the next book, hahaha!

Ningmeng thanks you!

In any case, I hope everyone will at least remember that I wrote a fanfiction-devouring novel called "Loans for Luo Feng," providing some leisure entertainment for everyone.

Bye-bye~

I'm going to bed now! Wishing everyone all your wishes come true, and peace and good health~
