I live forever by seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster.

It took nearly 8 months from January 20, 2024 to September 1, 2024.

I was ambitious before the book was opened, but it was a mess when it was finished.

Alas, I don’t know what to say.

…

Where should I start? I don’t know where to start.

I’ll just write whatever comes to my mind.

I don’t want any framework, theme, etc.

…

The fundamental reason why this book ended quickly is that the emotional line collapsed and I couldn’t continue writing.

My primary purpose of writing is for economic benefits.

Therefore, as a writer, I run "Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Evil" as a store.

That is, I have to find ways to let readers get what they want in this book.

But as the emotional line collapsed, I forced myself to write on. You can read it, and I also wrote it painfully.

In a thousand words, I am still too green.

If you are green, you have to practice!

Of course, maybe I shouldn't have created a love line between the male and female protagonists in this account.

...

...

Let's talk about the inspiration of this book first, where exactly did it come from.

The birth of this book was because in early December 2023, I went to Shanghai Yuewen's [Golden Pen Program] to receive training and study for writers.

There, I was amazed and met many colleagues.

I even had a preliminary exchange with fantasy masters such as Gunkai, Jicha and Silent Pastry, and accepted a more standardized understanding of online literature.

The "sense of substitution" that this master talked about makes sense.

The "multiple plot reversals" that this master talked about also makes sense.

The "novel revolves around characters and stories" that this master talked about is even more of a great truth.

There are so many such things.

For a while, the more I studied in depth, the more I realized how insignificant I was.

Later, I wanted everything.

During that time, before going to bed every day, no matter how tired or sleepy I was, I would get up with gritted teeth, insist on repeatedly checking my notes, and comprehend the content of the class word by word.

Because I know very well that it is difficult for people like me to do physical work.

Moreover, my talents in personnel, social interaction and real politics are so weak.

Therefore, during college, I was determined to be on the road of online writing.

Under such circumstances, I cherish the rare opportunity of communication very much.

During that time, I was ready to transform this opportunity and these experiences into my own understanding.

In short, I was afraid of missing the teachings and tips of the great predecessors.

Such a time of struggle even reminded me of the time in the latter part of my senior year of high school.

Try your best and leave no regrets.

Everything is given to the heart, and doing your best is the best!

Gradually, the theme of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil appeared.

Later, after the official completion of "Mysterious Water Snake", I started to work on a new book.

It took a full month of preparation before I started.

…

Alas~

Now I understand why Master Jicha said that writing is an extremely personal matter.

In terms of writing, writers must base their opinions on their own opinions and cannot listen to the preferences of readers.

Because of the influence of some opinions of Xiaoqun, I directly overturned the original setting of the protagonist Fang Yang.

At the beginning, Fang Yang should have been born in a low-ranking tribe, and then relied on his talent of [seeking good fortune and avoiding evil] to rise cold-bloodedly and show his heroic methods.

His historical mission is not [immortality, becoming an immortal], but to crush a group of classes and liberate all living beings in the eight domains of heaven and earth.

Yang, Haori, shines on all living beings, dispels darkness, and brings light.

But in the end, at the last minute, I changed my destiny.

That's it, that's it.

I won't say more about this.

In the final analysis, it's still my problem. I failed to stick to myself.

………

Then, I made a big mistake in coding and saving manuscripts.

Around the Spring Festival, I reconnected with my female college classmate and established a super-friendship relationship.

In the early and middle stages of this initial relationship, there was mostly ambiguity.

And ambiguity is intoxicating, but it also kills the fighting spirit and time.

Based on this situation, I actually let my career fall behind for her.

And in the book, Sen Hui also came into being!

Sen Hui is not her. Sen Hui reflects some of my thoughts about "Empress Ma of the Ming Dynasty".

It's just that the appearance of Sen Hui completely broke my original idea of ​​no heroine.

What's more fatal is that the tone of the whole book has completely changed irreversibly.

"Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Evil" has a bad development trend, and my emotional life in real life has also collapsed.

Because of my temperament and work, my female college classmate and I separated again.

This time, I let it go completely and never contacted each other again.

It's just that during that period, it was close to the time when the book was put on the shelves.

Due to the influence of real life, the breath in my heart completely collapsed.

As a result, I can't go back to the daily 10,000.

Thinking of this, I really want to say sorry to all the readers, especially those who have been following along.

Sorry, sorry!!

I am such a big idiot. I have failed everyone's expectations and even failed myself who worked hard to write.

The first order exceeded 1,400. Such a good opportunity, I actually failed to seize the opportunity to make this book a masterpiece and take my career to the next level.

Fuck.

When I think about it, I feel like I am a fool.

……

No matter what the real life is like, I still have a great affection for Sen Hui.

It's just that due to various reasons, the performance of this book is still inevitably declining.

The more I update, the more readers will leave.

This situation is really frustrating.

I know that this is because the tone of the whole book has changed.

I am not good at writing daily dramas and emotional dramas, so I really don't need to write them.

Unless, there is a mental training from the beginning.

It's like the great squid wrote "Martial Arts Master" and deliberately sharpened himself.

But no matter what, I still have a great affection for Sen Hui.

…………

Many readers said that they followed my book to read the chapter of "Tianjiao Zhengba".

And I thought deeply and found that the chapter of "Tianjiao Zhengba" is actually an extension of my writing habits.

Perhaps because of my background, the protagonists in my works are all relatively "cold".

I define myself:

-Cold-blooded rise flow, a heroic protagonist who plans before acting.

Whether it's Hong Yuan or Fang Yang.

They are better at watching the ups and downs of the world indifferently, just to find their own interests, strengthen themselves, and then pursue their own path wholeheartedly.

At the beginning of the book, I made a big mistake.

That is to directly point out Fang Yang's ambition.

This is wrong. I should have used the world background or the barriers of the family to pressure Fang Yang to set up great ambitions.

In this regard, I am a little eager for quick success.

…………

In fact, in early May and late July, I wanted to cut the book.

Because the first order of this book is 1400, if it doesn't jump, the final result should double to about 4200.

But unfortunately, I collapsed.

And in the end, out of the quality of a writer.

I still persisted and tried my best to draw a perfect ending.

Commercial writing and so on, let's leave it to the next book.

Let the author account of Green Caterpillar leave everyone with a good memory.

Although the story framework is not fully unfolded, it still has a relatively satisfactory ending.

…………

What is a bit regrettable is that I was too eager for quick success in this book, blindly pursuing the excitement and feeling, and neglected the character creation.

Compared with Hua Menghuang, Shang Yaoqin, Le Congsheng and Longyang Emperor in the previous book "Mysterious Water Snake", there are only a few people in this book who have distinct memorable points.

The only thing worth praising is probably the creation of characters such as "Fang Yang" and "Cambrian Yazun".

Alas~

It's a pity~

This has to be said to be a pity.

Especially for the subsequent arrangement of Baiyuying, I was even more inappropriate.

…………

Favored characters will grow flesh and blood crazily.

Perhaps it is because of the self-requirement of performance, or perhaps it is because of the projection of unsatisfactory reality.

For various reasons, compared with Hong Yuan, I did not invest enough effort in Fang Yang.

…………

Sen Hui, Fang Yang, Han Wu, Bai Yuying, Xiao Shuangma, Zhang Ye, Sen Yue, Sen Wei, Lu Yao, Yu Qinxian, Da Ri Long Nu, Fang Nian, Shi Zun…

In short, I hope that all readers and friends have been touched while reading this book.

Thank you for your company.

Goodbye, let’s meet again in the rivers and lakes!
