Notice: Response to controversial issues

2025-02-13

This book was written out of obsession from the very beginning.

I want to write about the Immortal world in my mind, the characters I want to write about, and the concept of "Immortal" in my mind: The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. The greatest immortal is the one who brings peace to the world.

Some readers may be able to see this theme, but most may not feel it. But this is my obsession with writing. The reason why I persisted in writing this book even when my grades were very poor, and even when I had written four million words, I was still persisting in writing it, was because I had obsession.

I can only write for the sake of obsession.

Writing a long novel is a very arduous thing. It requires a very strong will to write day and night. If for other reasons, I would have given up or finished the next one hastily. In real life, I have a mild temper and rarely argue with others. On the Internet, I rarely argue with others either.

But recently, a bunch of people suddenly attacked me and called me a scumbag. Among them were a lot of apprentices and disciples who copied and pasted a bad review two or three times. I really couldn't stand it anymore.

Because he thinks I write too slowly, he criticizes me. I admit this. But some people will criticize whatever you write.

Writing dialogues, battles, characters, foreshadowing, settings... as long as he is unhappy, he can always find an angle to criticize you, and he always uses a panacea word: water.

This is not a new book.

A novel of four million words has a certain pace. Anyone who has actually read it should have an idea of ​​it.

This is a slow-paced, meticulously plotted novel.

There are so many fast-paced, short, and decisive novels on Qidian. You can go and read them.

Some readers, who obviously just want a quick and easy "refreshing" experience and don't like this type of story, still have to come here to criticize me, asking me to follow their ideas, speed up the pace, and write the novel they want to read?

And then they always say that this book is broken, has a bad ending, and gets worse and worse as it goes on…

I really don't understand.

This book has many deep foreshadowings and many plots have cause and effect.

There are so many characters appearing in the sword-fighting conference, and they are not extras. They are not written once and then discarded. They will all have many grievances and hatreds with the protagonist in the future.

Now they are just geniuses of the sect, and they are just discussing swordsmanship, but in the future world struggle, these will be the key figures, and they will perform on the stage with the protagonist.

Not writing about these characters, just glossing over them all, and directly cutting out the outline that follows?

Some people also say that I am a book lover all my life.

The industry is so competitive nowadays that if you slack off or do things perfunctorily, no one will read this book anymore, and you won't have the chance to really do anything.

If novels are really that easy to read, you might as well try writing one yourself. I have a copy of Mao's Selected Works on my desk, and whenever I have free time, I will read On Practice over and over again.

From online writing practice to online writing cognition; then use cognition to guide writing; then deepen cognition through writing; repeat this cycle step by step and write four million words.

Although the results are not very good, they are still stable. Writing and reading are two completely different things. The writing industry is not what some readers think.

Let me say one more thing. It may seem counterintuitive from a reader's perspective, but it is a sentence that has almost reached a consensus among most authors: Online writers who are influenced by readers' opinions are doomed to fail. This may sound harsh, but if you have ever written a novel, you will find that it is true.

This is the last time I will respond to this type of question. My ability and energy are limited, and just being able to keep writing has already consumed all my energy. The only thing I can do is to finish writing this book and give an explanation to the readers who truly like it. As for you guys criticizing me or scolding me, I don't have the energy to care.

I couldn't help but flip through the comments last night. I felt unwell in my heart and didn't sleep the whole night. Now my mind is blank and I can't type. I'm sorry to take a day off today.
