I'm very sorry. Recently, my updates have been very unstable, and I've taken leave every few days.
In fact, I understand everyone's pain very well. Because I'm not only an author, but also a reader. When I read a certain web novel and take leave every few days, my reading experience will be very uncomfortable. I'll be disappointed, I'll be disappointed, I'll be angry, and sometimes I'll even curse in my heart — this author is really an idiot!
However, the truth is very cruel. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say, regarding the issue of the recent updates — I'm that idiot author.
I really want to update steadily, or even add chapters, or explode chapters!
Therefore, I've made a greater promise than before.
Which author doesn't want to update steadily and frequently?
For web novels, frequent updates means popularity and income. Which author doesn't want to make life difficult for their wallet?
I'm a mortal, I'm a layman, of course I also want to earn more money.
But the cruel truth tells me — I'm not capable enough!
I'm really not capable enough.
I can't update steadily, or add chapters. I can only take leave frequently, think hard, and then write it out bit by bit.
Some readers will ask: Didn't you update steadily in the past?
Then I can only answer these readers with a bitter smile: Yes, I used to update steadily, and even add chapters, or explode chapters. But that was in the early and middle stages of novel writing.
Novel writing gets harder as it goes on. In the early stages, it's like drawing on a blank piece of paper. In the middle stages, the clues are scattered, and you follow them patiently. In the late stages, it's the most difficult, because you have to collect all the scattered clues, fill in all the holes, and let all the characters have their own ending.
To this extent, the later stages of the novel are truly qualified for the later stages.
The later stages of a novel with a million words are difficult, the later stages of a novel with two million words are very difficult, and the later stages of a novel with three million words are even more difficult. Everyone, our novel has more than six million words, so you can imagine the difficulty.
The novel "Venomous Gu Master" is different from most web novels. Usually, the plot of web novels is linear, and it goes on for a very, very long time. The map is constantly changing, many, many times. Almost all the characters in the early and middle stages, except for the main supporting characters, almost disappear in the later stages of the novel.
As for "Venomous Gu Master", it's more like a stage, a big stage. No matter what kind of characters, they have a chance to appear in the later stages. I won't mention important supporting characters like Bai Ning Bing and Hei Loulan. Let me give you an example — Qing Hui Zi. This person encountered Demon Immortal Qi Jue and fell into a dangerous situation, but thankfully Demon Immortal Qi Jue did not take his life. In fact, Qing Hui Zi is a minor character in the middle of this book, and I've mentioned him briefly.
Another example was Mo clan's Plump Lady, this character appeared during Fang Yuan's immortal zombie period. At the end of the book, she appeared again. Moreover, her appearance affected Mo Li. And Mo Li and Peng Da's encounters would affect other characters.
Every character had their own thoughts, their own joys and sorrows. Their every action, whether intentional or unintentional, would cause the lives of other characters to change.
I think that only such a novel world can be called spiritual!
Therefore, Venerable Gu's plot design was very complicated and difficult. Especially in the later stages, the five regions and two heavens' stage! So many people! Every time I put pen to paper, I was very cautious. If I'm not careful, I'll eat my settings, my character will collapse, or my logic will be wrong.
And this was only the difficulty of the main text.
There was another part of the novel that was several times more difficult than the main text!
Needless to say, everyone knew — that was < < The Legends of Ren Zu > >.
< < The Legends of Ren Zu > > was very difficult, not only did I have to create a legend, I also had to create a legend that surpassed Pangu's creation of heaven and earth, Nuwa's creation of man, and Adam and Eve's level. Because the latter did not involve philosophy, but < < The Legends of Ren Zu > > contained philosophy, it was deeper, and could be read in detail. Because the dialogues and plots I designed had to follow a certain path.
Let's give an example.
Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance killed hatred Gu, but found out that hatred Gu could not be killed. This plot was very simple, but it contained a very simple path — revenge breeds revenge, hatred cannot be used to extinguish hatred. To get rid of hatred, other methods were needed.
Another example.
Ren Zu refined wealth Gu, he used hardship Gu, worry Gu, and sorrow Gu. Next, stupidity Gu was deceived and died. Wisdom Gu was also deceived, but it escaped in the end. Eventually, Ren Zu lost both his hands and refined wealth Gu.
This plot was a description of wealth. Earning wealth was very difficult, maintaining wealth required a sense of hardship, and losing wealth would cause sorrow. Foolish people would die in excess of wealth, while wise people would often be blinded by wealth, but truly wise people would eventually see through this point. Finally, wealth was created by the hands of humans.
There were many more examples like this.
I felt that < < The Legends of Ren Zu > > was much more difficult than normal web novels.
It also got harder as it progressed. Because I had to write about Ren Zu's ten children, how to destroy the nine heavens, and some foreshadowing (Qian Kun Crystal Wall) in the later stages.
The main text was difficult, but < < The Legends of Ren Zu > > was even more difficult. And what I had to do was to skillfully combine the two.
This was an extremely difficult task!
At least to me, it was extremely difficult.
I had to write < < The Legends of Ren Zu > chapter by chapter, and then skillfully insert them into the main text, adding the finishing touch to the main text. And the order of these chapters could not be messed up, they could not be reversed.
To speak the truth, my pressure was immense.
Especially recently, I often could not sleep, I could only barely fall asleep at three or four in the morning. Thinking about the plot, thinking about < < The Legends of Ren Zu > > made my head feel like it was burning.
I remembered that a few days ago, I made an appointment with an old Chinese doctor. But the night before, I was anxious and could not sleep, I organized the outline and slept at two or three in the morning. But the next day, I did not even have breakfast and rushed to the hospital. There was a traffic jam, causing the appointment to be missed, and I had to wait until the afternoon to register again. I might as well make another appointment, but that would have to wait until next week. Right now, China's medical resources were getting more and more scarce.
I usually would not say such things, it was not because of my reputation, but because I felt that as a man, I would not act pitifully to gain sympathy.
I was only saying it now to express reality, I hope everyone can understand my current writing state.
Actually, there were many times when I was thinking, should I give up on < < The Legends of Ren Zu > >? Or should I just write it casually, I would be able to get stable updates every day. It was fine if the quality of the article was bad, but at least the readers would not be too disgusted.
With updates every day, I would get paid every day, why not?
But when I thought about it again, I could not!
There were many readers who had been following me for many years, reading until now. At the later stages, I had to write such a dry and insincere article to brush them off?
That was not possible!
My original intention in writing this book was to write about a different demon, regardless of anything else, it was just a pure desire to write. Whether it sold well or not was secondary, whether my wallet was full or not was secondary, whether I could eat well or not is secondary. So, could I just be sloppy towards the later stages of the book?
That was not possible!
If I did that, I would be letting down my years of hard work and blood. I would be letting down my initial ambition and initial intention.
What I wanted to see was that the later stages of the book were good, up to my standards, and above average.
Everyone was reading along now, one chapter a day, but it was actually hard to tell if it was good or bad. Because the vision was limited. Only after reading a large portion of the book at a fast speed could one realize the standard of the novel.
I did not want to see similar comments — < < Gu Dao Master > > was good in the first and middle stages, but it collapsed in the later stages! There were a bunch of logical errors, the author just ate random settings, < < The Legends of Ren Zu > > was written like dog shit! It was really disappointing.
This was a very crucial period for the book.
It was very difficult.
Not only did I feel unprecedented difficulty in writing, but every time my ideas failed, I would feel small and insignificant, a deep sense of defeat.
But I would not give up, I would rather focus on quality, putting aside quantity and remuneration.
I hope that everyone can be more understanding and more tolerant.
If you really can't understand, I suggest that everyone put it aside. Because to be honest, reading along like this would indeed affect the reading experience. I suggest that everyone wait until the book is completed before reading again. If there is a genuine subscription support, then thank you very much for your support. I really spent too much effort on this book.
Finally, I am very sorry, there was still no update today.
The results of the ideas these two days were still too poor, so I rejected it.
I decided to make some changes to the outline. The plot of Fang Yuan being chased is very complicated, because I will use a different writing method. I still need to think about the characters involved in it before I can write it with confidence.
I will make an appointment with everyone.
In the future, as long as there was no update between 8 PM and 8: 10 PM, it meant that there was no update for that day. Everyone, please stop reading and wait for the update.
In the later stages of the book, the updates are not very optimistic, I reckon that it will not be able to continue. It is very difficult to stabilize the updates.
I suggest that everyone put it aside and look at other outstanding web novels. If you really want to read this book, you can start from the beginning. Many readers are reading it five or six times. I am confident that < Venomous Gu > can be read over and over again.
Recently, there are many readers reading this book again, and there are also a few kind-hearted people who contact me through WeChat or QQ if they see any typos or mistakes. I will correct these mistakes as long as I see them. I am preparing to do a large scale revision of this book during this period of time.
I am using the pinyin input method, and there are many typos, I did not do a good job in this aspect, I will correct it!
I am very embarrassed after saying so much. Of course, I would rather use the time I used to write this manuscript to write < The Legends of Ren Zu >. But after reading so many reviews, I feel that there is a need to communicate with everyone.
Thank you for your support all this while.
Venomous Gu thanks you.
If everyone does not support me, I can understand. Please have a safe journey, good people live a peaceful life. Thank you for your support. Because this is indeed because I did not do it well, I am not capable enough.
In the later stages, even though I want to, I am unable to steadily update. I can only write like this to write a novel that meets my standards.
I might let down some of my readers by doing this. But I feel that as an author, I must first not let down my own work.
< Venomous Gu > is like my child, I have raised it up step by step. I can't mess up this work when it's almost done!
