Thoughts Upon Publication

The process of writing a fantasy novel is filled with joy when everything goes smoothly, but it becomes agonizing when the words get stuck and frustrating during revisions. As an author who isn’t particularly dexterous, I value my promises and do not make guarantees lightly. All I can assure is at least one chapter per day, striving for two whenever possible, and I absolutely will not abandon this story.

It truly brings me great happiness to have the opportunity to share the stories in my heart with all of you. I am grateful to Qidian for providing this platform, and to my editor for their guidance and support. Most importantly, I am deeply thankful for your encouragement and company.

In my daily author’s notes, I always thank you for your recommendation votes, your uplifting comments, and your generous rewards. From now on, I will add two more expressions of gratitude: for your monthly tickets and your subscriptions.

Thank you all.
