If there are no surprises, it will be completed around this month!

Readers with discerning eyes have probably already noticed that Waste Paper has basically stopped foreshadowing or digging new plot holes; all that's left is wrapping things up.

When the Da Heng incident is completely resolved, the book will come to an end.

Without prior foreshadowing, there's no need to write about reaching the pinnacle of the universe or the top of all the heavens and realms.

In fact, to write about those ethereal battles of the Great Dao, divorced from the love, hate, and grudges of the mortal world, is inherently a thankless task.

There's no need to add insult to injury and let the already dismal results drop even further.

Because the results are so poor, I never planned to write too long ago, so the ending isn't rushed; it's more of a natural progression.

This book, now over 700,000 words, doesn't seem that long, but it feels very long to Waste Paper.

This is probably the most tormenting book I've ever written.

During this time, I experienced many illnesses and financial pressures, etc., which need not be elaborated upon.

Because the income is so poor, spending more time on family and health is also a helpless choice.

After all, if I don't provide financial returns to the family, I must at least take the time to take care of the children. I can't be broke and not help take care of the kids, or my wife's complaints will fly.

Besides, my health is already poor. If I really work myself into a serious illness, the manuscript fees won't even cover the medical expenses. I've learned this lesson before. After working hard to update ten thousand words a day for more than a month, I ended up with stomach problems, which not only went entirely to the hospital but also caused me to suffer and lose money. It's really not worth it.

I've been writing a new book for a while, constantly considering and weighing it, revising it several times, but I still don't have much confidence.

After all, in today's market, it's not about how long you polish it or how much effort you put into it that makes something good.

It still has to be something everyone likes, and that's what often confuses me.

I can feel that everyone's reading pace is accelerating.

Content that used to require several chapters to explain in detail now needs to be resolved in at most half a chapter.

However, writing habits are not easy to adjust. I can force myself for a few chapters, but after writing hundreds of thousands or millions of words, everything will be revealed.

Perhaps fewer and fewer people are patiently reading original novels. They are more accustomed to receiving established things with a fixed tone, only adding a little bit of novelty.

So, in my next book, I plan to put new wine in old bottles. I don't expect it to be outstanding, but at least it will allow me to stand up straight and sit in front of the computer all day without feeling indebted to my wife and children.

I'm just rambling; everyone doesn't need to pay attention. I'm just chatting a bit. Anyway... let's go!

Let's all go!
