Grenade Fears Water

Coming to apologize to everyone after finishing the new chapter.

The update yesterday, in the chapter "Preservation," contained a very low-level plot error. While playing with a meme, my mind blanked, and I set up a plot that shouldn't have appeared, leading to a logical inconsistency for two main characters and creating a very poor reading experience for everyone. I'm very sorry.

As the author, it's really not right to let this kind of situation appear in the book as it nears the end. It not only disappoints the readers but also disappoints myself.

I sincerely apologize for this.

——————A dividing line for a detailed journey of the heart——————

Let me say a few more words. To be honest, I hesitated for a long time to say this.

The reason is simple: my communication skills are very problematic, and I often add fuel to the fire.

For example, the last time I apologized for a break in updates, I asked myself if I was very sincere, but after posting it, it attracted almost everyone's dissatisfaction and was considered mockery by everyone.

I analyzed it afterward, and it should be because I felt that long-form serial writers watching movies and reading novels, including playing games with rich plots, when stuck in writer's block is a kind of effort and struggle, but from the reader's point of view, it is unacceptable, and they think it is a kind of escape, so writing it out seems even more ironic.

This time is the same. When I wrote yesterday, my original intention was to have a symmetrical structure, and Zhao Jiu's part was not the main focus. It was a playful paragraph brought out to echo the Goryeo plot. It was atmospheric plot set up to point out that Qu Duan had made great progress this time. It was a rushed move to take the later, seriously written criticism and self-criticism scene to fill in the words to reach the updated word count.

I didn't think too much about it at all, and I didn't put much thought into the design. In addition, it was close to the end, and I was eager to update, lacking consideration. I am very sorry.

When I woke up this morning and saw the readers in an uproar, I realized that there was a plot logical inconsistency here. Even if the protagonist did this because he thought he was something after the war and had a frivolous personality, it seemed to be a serious lack of consideration, and Hu Yin had no reason not to discover and stop it... This directly affected the personalities of two important characters, and also made Zhao Jiu say such nonsense as "fabricated charges," which was really not right.

So I immediately posted an explanation on the ngA post. I really felt that I was apologizing, but maybe I really don't know how to speak, and my expression was problematic, and that post was again referred to as sarcastic...

So I didn't dare to speak anymore. I came back and coded the words, trying to correct this plot, and posted it.

I know that everyone may still not be satisfied with this result, but it is indeed the best operation I can do within my current ability.

The apology is not that I didn’t post it, but that I was carefully writing it. I always have to put out an update first, and then post an apology, so that it looks a little more like something.

As for why I didn’t revise it, and had to add a patch, this has nothing to do with attitude. It is a professional ethics issue under the serial writing format... Many silent readers actually don’t pay attention to things on the Internet. If I directly revise the text, it may cause them to have mismatched plot points.

And, I also want to use this incident as evidence to constantly remind myself that I once made such a stupid mistake.

All in all, the previous chapter was undoubtedly my writing mistake. Here, I sincerely say to all readers:

I'm sorry.

And, I will definitely finish *The Filature of the Song* well.

I have troubled everyone.
