After nearly forty days, stumbling and fumbling, I finally reached this point.
There are many things I want to say, sitting idly under the lamp late at night, yet not knowing what to say.
Maybe it's because I've achieved something (luckily got into Sanjiang), there are people who like it, and people who bash it too. It's the most polarizing among all the books I've written.
Someone said, have you ever been a Hunter? To write about a Hunter?
This... I must admit, indeed I haven't, haha.
Someone said, the author's writing is basic, I also admit this. The author hasn't read many books, scored just over 600 in the college entrance exam, didn't reach 700, barely got into a 985 university (proudly chest out).
Someone said, seeing Demon Slayer makes me not want to click in, this... I also admit, for the true fans of Hunter, this book isn't pure enough... I just wanted to write, so I didn't think too much and just went for it. If you carefully check my update times, the first few days I only had one update a day, purely writing for fun. As it turns out, it got signed... no choice but to grit my teeth and keep going (I actually wanted to write Xianxia, but unfortunately, it got aborted).
Someone said, it's already seventy or eighty chapters, and Roy hasn't left the beginner village, the pace is a mess, this... I also admit, indeed it was slow. Because the last book was too fast, it collapsed from too much excitement, so the author decided this time to even take a hit on early performance rather than expand the power too quickly, leading to a lack of content later.
Someone said, you don't know anything about the Zoldyck, and yet you write about them, this... I also admit, I don't understand the Zoldyck, so I can only fill out this family from "my" perspective, my understanding of this world, combined with the manga and anime. If there's any deviation from everyone's idea, just blame me, after all, I'm the one writing it.
Someone said, what's your relationship with "Purple-Blue Pig"?
Allow me to explain: the relationship is, he's Purple-Blue, I'm a flying floral pattern, no relation at all!
(ps: I only have admiration for the Purple Pig)
And others said, many, many others said, in short, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets...
It's like I like Aika Yumeno, you like Tsubasa Amami, everyone has different tastes, if you don't like it, don't read it...
I'm just an ordinary author who can't please everyone, so I'll make sure those who like me aren't disappointed...
Properly develop characters, carefully grind the plot, manage the pacing well, maintain steady updates, finish properly without dropping... this is my promise to everyone.
After all, before starting this book, the author once wanted to give up writing completely, thinking if it got signed, it'll be the last book, if not, I'd switch careers immediately, do anything else, from then on, never write again.
Thankfully... everyone carried me to this point, with "eldll东南枝" rewarding me my first alliance leader, with "殇", "Hundred-Meter Bun", "Cross-World Online Game", "Today Also Want to Be a Log", "Original + Forgive", "Tongtian Sect Leader Lingbao Celestial Venerable", "An8602", "Sherry Liu" and so on... familiar faces, tracking, punching in, accompanying me all the way, truly grateful beyond words, (ps: brothers I didn't name, please don't hit me, I'm getting old, memory's bad, currently abstaining in hopes of recovering some)
Alright, rambling ends, the main text begins——
On the 8th, zero o'clock release, ten-thousand-word update (guess I'll release two chapters first as a taste of salted eggs, in short, all will be updated on the 8th)
After that, guaranteed daily update of six to eight thousand words, still owe "eldll东南枝" four more, will top them off when feeling good (will explain when that day comes)
As for doing some kind of monthly ticket lottery, or extra chapter for monthly tickets like other big shots, please forgive the author for being poor, pockets cleaner than face, really can't afford it. Also, I am self-aware, as someone who takes three hours to write a chapter, really not suitable for extra chapters.
Stable, stable, stable, important things said thrice, hope everyone understands.
Lastly, thank you to every friend who supports me, wishing you all in advance——Happy New Year!
——Sincerely, October 7th.
Flying Flower Pig.
