He was going to start a new book again.
This was Dao Zi's fifth book in the truest sense of the word.
In the summer of 2010, when he was lying in his rented apartment and writing on a four-handed notebook, Dao Zi had never imagined that he would be able to write for such a long time. Five books with more than 17 million words. He had gone from a young man looking forward to his future to an uncle who was about to have his first child after six years of marriage. Time flew by, and Dao Zi could be considered a veteran author now.
A few days ago, in a group chat of veteran authors, a few god-level authors were suddenly discussing what they would be like without online literature. The conclusion they came up with was that without online literature, they would be in poverty. Even if they did not end up at the bottom of society, they would be dejected and depressed.
This conclusion couldn't be more suitable for Dao Zi.
As for why Dao Zi entered the online literature circle, what online literature had brought to Dao Zi, and how it had changed Dao Zi's fate, Dao Zi had lamented about this topic too many times. He believed that many of his old readers would still remember this topic. Back when he was writing about the Divine Emperor of Sabers and Swords, he had used the website to promote it. He had also chosen Tianya and many other newspapers to publish some of Dao Zi's stories, including how Dao Zi was once poor and had been adopted by his ex-girlfriend, who was now Dao Zi's wife. It had been slightly edited, but it was the truth.
Without online literature, perhaps Dao Zi would have returned to his hometown in the northwest to farm.
Dao Zi was born in a village at the foot of Qilian Mountain at the entrance of Jade Gate Pass. His family had thirty acres of land.
'Online literature changed the course of my life.
Online literature allowed Dao Zi to marry his girlfriend of eight years as he wished. It allowed Dao Zi to stop his parents who had been farming for more than thirty years. It also allowed Dao Zi to gain a certain social status and respect.
From every corner of his body and the deepest part of his soul, Dao Zi was sincerely grateful to online literature.
No one could deny that the creator of online novels might be the author, but what made online novels valuable were the millions of readers who loved and supported them.
'It's all of you who are dear to me.
'Without readers, even a supreme god would be a tree without roots or water without a source. It would lose its value.
Seven years ago, I was a nobody who could support myself and my family today. Every step I took, I was praised and appreciated by every reader. I always reminded myself with fear that without readers, I would be worthless, and I never dared to neglect any reader.
Most of the time, he was reflecting on how to do his best and how to satisfy his readers.
Football, The King, and The Sword were three books, and the updates were stable.
When it came to the Imperial God Emperor's book, the situation changed.
In the beginning, Knife was very confident. This was because his preparations were perfect and he had a certain amount of drafts in reserve.
But the weather was unpredictable.
When the book was published in April 2015, Dao Zi was hospitalized with a serious illness around the 20th of April. He thought it was a terminal illness, but fortunately, it was not that bad. He was discharged in May. He had to undergo treatment for six to seven months. At the worst, he could not lie down at night and could only sleep on the sofa. The long-term medication affected Dao Zi's liver and kidney functions to a certain extent.
For a long period of time, Dao Zi was unprecedentedly weak and dispirited. His physical discomfort made him anxious, which made his writing inefficient and his updates unstable. He was scolded by his readers. He wanted to make up for it and made promises, but he could not. He apologized and made promises again. Then, his health flared up again, and he could not keep up with the explosive updates … He fell into a vicious cycle. In addition, the film company had some requirements for the plot. This caused the quality and state of the book not to be what Dao Zi had hoped for from the middle to the end. It was also slightly different from what he had initially envisioned.
Two years passed.
The torment of his chronic illness was finally leaving him.
Dao Zi's body finally showed signs of improvement, and he recovered a lot of energy.
He could finally see light and color in front of him.
Now, the new book was about to set sail.
Dao Zi had returned to the state he had when he was writing 14 years ago. He was ready.
He had the idea for the new book a long time ago, but he only completed it about a month after "Imperial Sky" ended.
After the old book was finished, Dao Zi did not dare to slack off. He worked non-stop on the settings, drawing the map, designing the characters … In the shortest time possible, he used the most serious and hardworking attitude to make up for it. He wanted to let them experience the hot-blooded and exhilarating web novel. He wanted them to be proud of their identity as Dao Zi fans.
Dao Zi was very ambitious for this new book. He wanted to take it one step further and forge a glorious and hot-blooded era with his brothers and sisters.
I am grateful to everyone, and I love everyone even more.
July, a lucky month, a wonderful month.
Little Dao Dao would be born in July.
The new book would also set sail in July.
Both of them are my favorites, and they are the most important existences in my life.
I will protect them a thousand times over.
I hope that on my path forward, I will still have your support, encouragement, criticism, and suggestions.
