Apology and Next Update Instructions (Must Read)!

I am very sorry. The recent updates are very unstable, and I have to take time off every now and then.

In fact, I understand everyone's pain very well. Because I am not only the author, but also the reader. When I read a certain online article and take leave every now and then, my reading experience will be very uncomfortable. I will be disappointed, I will be lost, I will be angry, sometimes I will even secretly curse - this author is really a sb!

However, the truth is cruel. As much as I don't want to admit it, I have to say that when it comes to recent updates - I am that sb author.

I really want to update it stably, even add more updates, and explode it!

Therefore, I have made a promise to update more.

What author doesn’t want to update steadily and frequently?

For online articles, frequent updates mean popularity and income. Who wants to make trouble for their own money?

I am a mortal, I am a layman, and of course I want to make more money.

But the cruel truth told me - I am not capable enough!

My ability is really not enough.

I can't update it stably or make more updates. I can only take frequent leave, work hard to conceive, and then write it out bit by bit.

Some readers may ask: Didn’t you have stable updates before?

Then I can only answer these readers with a wry smile: Yes, my updates have been stable before, and I have even added updates and exploded updates. But that was the early and middle stages of writing the novel.

Novel writing becomes more difficult the further you write it. In the early stage, I painted on white paper, and I was free to rein in the horse. In the mid-term, clues are scattered, so follow up patiently. The later stage is the most difficult, because you have to collect all the scattered clues, fill in all the pits, and let all the characters have their own endings.

To achieve this level, the later stage of the novel is truly qualified.

It is difficult to write a novel of 1 million words in the later stage, it is difficult to write a novel of 2 million words in the later stage, and it is even more difficult to write a novel of 3 million words. Everyone, our novel has more than 6 million words, so the difficulty can be imagined.

The novel "Gu Zhenren" is different from most Internet articles. The plot of ordinary Internet articles is linear, one line goes down, and it is very long. The maps are constantly changing, lots and lots. Almost all the characters in the early and middle stages, unless they are major supporting roles, almost disappear by the end of the novel.

"Gu Zhenren" is more like a stage play,

A big stage. No matter what kind of character he is, he will have a chance to appear in the later stage. I won’t mention important supporting characters such as Bai Ningbing and Hei Loulan. Let me give you an example - Qing Huizi. This character encountered Qi Jue Demon Fairy by chance and was once in a desperate situation. Fortunately, Qi Jue Demon Fairy did not take his life. In fact, Qinghuizi is a minor character in the middle of the book, and I once briefly mentioned it.

Another example is the Fat Lady of the Mo family, this character appeared during Fang Yuan's immortal zombie period. Later in the book, she appears again. And her appearance affected Molly. And the fate of Mo Li and Peng Da will affect other characters.

Each character has his or her own thoughts and ups and downs. Every action they take, whether intentional or not, will lead to changes in the life trajectories of other characters.

I think such a novel world can be called spiritual!

Therefore, the plot design of Master Gu is very cumbersome and very difficult. Especially in the later stage, the big stage of the five regions for two days! So many characters! Every time I write, I am very cautious. If I don't pay attention, I will suffer from settings, character collapse or logic errors.

This is just the difficulty of the text.

There is also a part of the novel that is several times more difficult to conceive than the main text!

No need for me to say it, everyone knows it-that is "The Biography of Human Ancestors".

"Human Ancestor Biography" itself is very difficult. I not only want to create a myth, but also the level of this myth is higher than that of Pangu creating the sky, Nuwa creating humans, and Adam and Eve. Because the latter does not involve philosophy, "The Biography of Human Ancestors" does contain philosophy, has a deeper depth, and can be read intensively. Because the dialogues and plots I design must conform to a certain path.

Just give me an example.

Yanhuang Leize crushed Hatred Gu to death, but found that Hatred Gu could not be killed. This plot is very small, but it contains a very simple path - when is the time to retaliate, hatred cannot be used to annihilate hatred. To get rid of hatred, you have to use other methods.

Let’s take another example.

When Renzu refined Wealth Gu, he used Hardship Gu, Worry Gu, and Sadness Gu successively. Then Stupid Gu was tricked by him and died. Wisdom Gu was also deceived, but eventually escaped. In the end, Ren Zu lost his hands and refined Wealth Gu.

This plot is an illustration of wealth. Earning wealth is very hard, maintaining wealth requires a sense of urgency, and losing wealth will be sad. Foolish people are buried in excessive wealth, and wise people are often obsessed with wealth, but those who are truly wise will often see this clearly in the end. Finally, wealth is created with human hands.

There are many, many more such examples.

I think the difficulty of "The Legend of Human Ancestors" is even higher than that of ordinary online novels.

It also gets harder the further you go. Because I want to include all the ten sons of Ren Zu in the later stage, how to destroy Jiutian, and some foreshadowings in the early and middle stages (Qiankun Crystal Wall, etc.).

The main text is difficult, and "The Biography of Human Ancestors" is even more difficult. What I want to do is to combine the two skillfully.

This is super difficult!

At least for me, it was very difficult.

I want to write "The Biography of the Ancestors" chapter by chapter, and then cleverly embed it into the text to give it the finishing touch. The order of these chapters cannot be messed up, and they must not be reversed.

To be honest, I was under a lot of pressure.

Especially recently, I often have trouble falling asleep and stay up until three or four o'clock before I can barely fall asleep. When I think about the plot, I feel like my brain is going to burn when I think about it.

I remember making an appointment with an old Chinese doctor a few days ago. As a result, I was anxious the night before and couldn't sleep. I got up to sort out the outline and fell asleep at 2 or 3 o'clock. As a result, when I woke up the next day, I didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so I rushed to the hospital by car. There was a traffic jam on the road, so I missed my appointment and had to wait until the afternoon to re-register. Just make another appointment. The appointment can only wait until next week. Nowadays, China's medical resources are really becoming more and more scarce.

I don't usually say this kind of thing, and it's not to save face. I just think that a big man doesn't bother to do something miserable to gain sympathy.

What I say now is just to express the reality, and I hope everyone understands what kind of writing state I am in now.

In fact, there were many times when I was thinking, should I give up "The Legend of the Ancestors"? Otherwise, just use the hydrology casually. Of course, it can be updated stably every day. The quality of the article is almost there, but at least readers won’t be too offended by it.

There are updates every day, and you get royalties every day, so why not?

I thought again, no!

I have many readers and friends who have been following me for several years. At the end of their reading, I wrote such a dry and insincere article to frustrate them?

This can't be done!

My original intention in writing this book was to write about a different devil. Regardless of anything else, it was just a pure desire to create. Whether the sales are good or not is secondary, whether the wallet is full or not is secondary, whether the food is full or not is secondary. So can I just be so-so by the end of the book?

That can't be done!

If I did this, I would simply be sorry for my hard work and hard work over the past few years. I'm sorry for my original ambition and original intention.

What I would rather see is that the post-production quality of this book is good, meets my standards, and is on the level.

Everyone is reading along now, one chapter a day, but it’s hard to tell whether it’s good or bad. Because the line of sight is limited. Only by speed-reading a large part can you realize the level of this part of the novel.

I don't want to see comments like this - "Master Gu" was a good book in the early and middle stages, but fell apart in the later stages! There are a lot of logic errors, the author just took the settings casually, and "The Biography of Human Ancestors" is written like shit! It's really disappointing.

This is a critical period in the book.

It's hard.

Not only do I find it unprecedentedly difficult to create, but every time I fail in an idea, I feel insignificant and deeply frustrated.

But I will not give up. I would rather put aside quantity and remuneration for quality.

I hope everyone can be more understanding and tolerant.

I really don’t understand it, so I suggest you give it a try. Because to be honest, following along like this will affect the reading experience. I suggest that you wait until the book is finished before reading it. If you can get a genuine subscription to support it, thank you very much. This book really took a lot of effort from me.

Finally, I'm sorry, there is still no update today.

The results of these two days of conception were still too poor, so I rejected them.

I decided to make some changes to the outline. The plot of Fang Yuan being hunted is very complicated, because I will use an unusual writing method. I still need to think carefully about the characters involved in it before I can write it with confidence.

Let me make an agreement with everyone.

As long as there are no future updates between 8 p.m. and 8:10 p.m., it means there will be no updates that day. Please stop refreshing and wait for updates.

This book has reached its later stage and I am not very optimistic about the update. I guess I won’t be able to get up. Stable updates are difficult.

I suggest you put it down and read other excellent online articles. If you really want to read this book, you might as well read it again. Many readers and friends are doing the fifth and sixth brushes. The book "Master Gu" can still be read over and over again, and I am still confident about this.

Recently, many readers have re-read this book, and several well-wishers have contacted me through WeChat and QQ about typos and errors they saw. I will correct these mistakes whenever I see them. I am planning to conduct a large-scale revision of this book in the near future.

The Pinyin input method I use has many typos. I haven't done a good job in this aspect, but I will correct it!

I'm sorry to have said so much. Of course I would rather spend the time writing this manuscript conceiving "The Biography of Human Ancestors". However, after reading so many book reviews, I still feel the need to communicate with everyone.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Thank you, Master Gu.

If you don't support it, I can understand it. Please have a safe journey and a safe life for good people. Thank you for your support. Because it’s true that I didn’t do it well and I wasn’t capable enough.

At the later stage, even though I wanted to do it, I couldn't update it stably. I can only write in this way to write a novel that meets my standards.

By doing this, I may feel sorry for some readers. But I feel that as an author, you must first not be sorry for your own work.

The work "Gu Zhenren" is like my child. I have brought him up step by step. I can't mess this up when it's almost finished!

That would be a real pity.
