Tell me about something.
Some readers who are dissatisfied with the author can certainly offer suggestions, but please don’t join the reader group only to immediately start criticizing the author about what you think is poorly written, or questioning why, with immortality, the protagonist doesn’t recklessly seek danger. Firstly, immortality does not mean invincibility. It is indeed a powerful ability when the difference in strength is not too great, but if the enemy is someone who can easily subdue you with a wave of their hand, immortality might only result in being captured and used for experiments.
As for the claim that the protagonist is fawning over Huo Yuhao, that’s simply not the case. Yes, joining Shrek Academy is reasonable, and it’s logical to receive compensation after returning the Tang Saber, but the story isn’t even set in the Douluo world anymore, so where does this accusation of flattering Huo Yuhao come from?
Moreover, I consulted the readers about whether the protagonist should join Shrek Academy, and at the time, the majority said yes, with only a few opposed. Thus, the principle of majority rule was applied.
Let me also remind everyone: the novel is written by the author. Readers are welcome to provide feedback, and if the suggestions are good, the author will adopt them. However, the story will not be written entirely according to the readers’ preferences. If you don’t like a certain direction, you can simply skip it. If you insist that the author should write only the plotlines you enjoy, then I can only suggest you download an author’s assistant yourself and try writing a novel.
I have no desire to write a brainless, reckless story where the protagonist blindly charges forward. What’s wrong with being cautious? Must every enemy be mindless, sending underlings to their deaths so the protagonist can grow stronger? There are countless such novels, but I do not wish to write that kind of story. I will try to make the plot more thoughtful, though my own abilities might not suffice, which I confess with some embarrassment.
Also, writing novels is purely a hobby for me at this stage. I haven’t signed a contract and I’m not earning a cent, so writing is not an obligation. If the quality is lacking, please refrain from constant criticism. If you have constructive feedback, let me know—if I agree, I’ll make changes.
As for the length of each chapter, some readers have commented that they’re too short, which I admit with some shame. Firstly, my ideas are limited; I can barely maintain quality with a thousand words per chapter. Secondly, I simply lack time—I write at night and am often so tired that I fall asleep while writing, though I make up for it the next day.
Considering the issue of chapter length, perhaps in the future I’ll post one two-thousand-word chapter per week, and update at other times if my schedule allows. How does that sound?
