After circling around, this book has been written for nearly three months, with a word count of 240,000.
Readers might have guessed that this is not Baodai's first book.
Thinking back to the two years I've been writing, the pressure I've endured has been considerable.
Parents, relatives, friends...
Not a single one of them understands me.
From their perspective, they are all looking out for me, urging me to find a stable job and live a quiet life.
But Baodai truly doesn't want that.
A life where you can see the end from the beginning is truly despairing!
One must chase their dreams, mustn't they?
During this time of writing, no matter how busy or tired I was, I never missed a single update.
A few days ago, I had a severe cold and was very drowsy.
Even while lying in bed receiving IV fluids, I had to type with one hand. Da Feng Novel Network
Baodai's typing speed isn't fast; sometimes, a plot point or a sentence can get stuck for a long time, for fear of writing something unsatisfactory.
A thousand words per hour is basically the limit.
I'm not saying this to elicit pity or sympathy. These are my medals, the footprints on the path of chasing my dream.
Perhaps one day I will achieve fame and fortune and become a true writer. Then I might even smile and repeat these stories, using them as conversation pieces. Da Feng Novel
Of course, Baodai's perseverance until now is also inseparable from the support of readers.
Later, Baodai will set up a reader group within the VIP chapters. Those interested can chat together. Any suggestions for this book can also be discussed there.
Additionally, a small story.
It's about the origin of the pen name Baodai.
When the author was very young, the first time I saw Santa Claus, I became very interested in the bag he used to carry gifts.
How could he fit so many gifts for children all over the world?
Where did these gifts come from?
Before I encountered similar works, I already had the concept of wishes and a spatial bag, and I fantasized about what I would do if I had that bag.
Only much later did I read the story of Doraemon. I even wondered if Fujiko F. Fujio's idea was also inspired by Santa Claus.
Because of the wishing attribute, it also represents the realization of one's desires, which is a good omen.
After the book goes on sale, the author will gradually increase the update frequency. On the first day, we are expected to release five chapters, totaling ten thousand words.
After that, there will be two chapters daily, with a total word count of about five to six thousand. If time permits, there will be additional updates.
Finally, I thank those who have given rewards. Thank you for your extra support.
For other readers who wish to give rewards, please do so within your means. Any amount, big or small, shows your heart, and Baodai is very grateful.
I also ask pirating readers to support us as much as possible. The more than ten yuan each month is truly important to the author.
The author truly wants to be a full-time writer, very, very much.
If this book performs well in the later stages, Baodai will consider resigning. This way, I will have more time to ponder the plot and update more words.
—Sincerely, Baodai
