Sorry, I Need to Take a Day Off.

I'm going to take a day off today. There are a lot of things going on at home. I don't have time to update. Please forgive me.

The above is the notice. The following is the author's ramblings. If you are not interested, you can close it.

Let me talk about this book and answer some comments and readers' questions.

It was October 2019. I was preparing for the next novel as usual. I was determined to write a novel about mortals and great things. This idea has been lingering in my mind for a long time, but it was broken after I opened the novel that made me feel terrified, desperate and uneasy.

At this point, I feel it is necessary to write something. Although I know that not many people will take these rumors seriously, I have to speak now, otherwise the thoughts accumulated in my heart will drive me crazy. I really hope that I have never browsed the fantasy bestseller list of Qidian.com and found the book that made me lose my mind.

To this day, when I am alone, I always ask myself why I wrote Harry Potter and Cthulhu? Isn't it good to add Cthulhu to Sherlock Holmes-like detective stories? Isn't it good to add Cthulhu to the game copy? Isn't it good to add Cthulhu to the reckless man who kills all the gods along the way?

But I still can't give a clear answer. At that time, anger made me lose my mind. No, it shouldn't be anger, but another terrible emotion, as if someone was whispering in my ear.

That unknown whisper made me overturn all the outlines of the previous Cthulhu detective novel, and forced me to find a lot of information about "Harry Potter", movies, original novels, Wiki...

I think I must have been crazy at the time. I dared to question a fan fiction that was always on the list. I lost my awe, so that after reading that weird book, I actually had the illusion of being offended.

It must be that weird whisper that made me lose my normal judgment. It must be like this, it must be like this.

Given that people in the comment area keep asking why they write Harry Potter and Cthulhu, the above is the reason. I am currently receiving treatment at Arkham Hospital and was discharged today, so I have stopped updating my novel.

Oriental? Racial discrimination? Abuse of the protagonist? Dog-licking?

For the Oriental setting, my original setting was that the protagonist was a stranger who was out of tune with the world. I borrowed from Lovecraft's "The Stranger" and used such a character to highlight conflicts and contradictions.

Perhaps my writing skills are limited and I failed to write this feeling, so many readers found it incomprehensible after reading it, why an Oriental appeared in a fantasy novel.

Let's talk about racial discrimination, abuse of the protagonist and the protagonist's dog-licking. Many readers cannot accept that after being insulted, the protagonist still "baba" goes to do things. Seeing the protagonist with a dog-licking face is abuse of the protagonist.

First of all, I have to admit that I didn't master the rhythm and contradictions. Many caring readers gave me suggestions, which are indeed reasonable. No one likes to be abused all the time. This is not scar literature, nor is it a literary novel. I realized that my understanding of online literature is too superficial, which led to this situation.

But what I want to say is that I never intended to abuse the protagonist or lick the dog from the beginning. The protagonist in the book is a mentally ill person, which can be seen by readers from some fragmented information in the early stage. But the main thing is that when he and a companion tell the past, readers can probably understand what kind of person the protagonist is.

Because of some stimulation, he has always adhered to his own set of principles and theories, walking on a path he has set, and he has his own views and standards on people and things. People like this either become talents or become perverts.

The protagonist in the article is gradually transforming and adapting to this strange world. When he has no strength and intelligence, he chooses to endure, disguise and lie dormant. After becoming familiar with the rules of this world, he began to degenerate.

The reason why many readers look frustrated is that this kind of routine of being frustrated and slapped in the face should be fast and continuous in other online articles.

And I, I failed to prolong the process of dormancy, so that I discouraged many readers. However, I do not admit that the novel abuses the protagonist, well, a little bit. The dog-licking behavior is even more groundless, because up to now, those who have read the latest chapters should have seen the protagonist's changes and started to challenge the rules of the wizarding world.

And among them, I think you should also see that some people are racist, engage in bloodline theory, despise the protagonist, and make things difficult for the protagonist. But there are also a lot of people who help the protagonist and believe in the protagonist. For example, Professor McGonagall, John, poets and scholars, Clara, Ellie Shafik, etc.

Having said so much, in one sentence, this book kneels to reality. Because in real life, nothing will succeed so easily, and no case can be solved with a snap of the head. Many times, what you get is far less than what you pay.

But I also understand that readers are not here to see reality, they are here to seek comfort. So after the end of the first volume, I will make the rhythm more refreshing so that you will not be so depressed.

As for the general tone, Cthulhu Mythos, did you see these words? Yes, you want to be relaxed and happy and talk and laugh, very good, a man in a yellow robe and a mask stuffed you with a strange mark and invited you to watch the greatest drama of this century.

Your choice?

A. Go there in anger

B. Ask the other party to take off the mask to see the appearance

C. Speak rudely

D. Throw the strange mark at the stranger

Okay, let's stop here. There are many reasons for not updating, mainly physical reasons. As you all know, I have been updating in the late night since mid-January. One of the reasons is that I have used up my manuscripts, and the other is that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder in writing and don't like the same word to appear repeatedly.

For example, if the word "see" appears in the previous sentence, I will try my best to avoid it in the next sentence, and will replace it with "look", "look", "stare" instead. So many times, I will spend a lot of time changing and figuring it out.

I often persuade myself that who the hell would read so carefully, this is not a paper, people can read ten lines at a glance, but I am used to it, so my writing speed has never been improved.

Another reason is that a new life was added to the family in January. So most of my free time is spent on him. My typing speed has not increased, but my skills in changing diapers, feeding bottles, etc. are growing wildly.

In addition, readers can vote for other books they like with their recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. I am ashamed to receive your persistent votes for this book. But everyone likes to hear compliments, and I am the same, so please increase your efforts in the comment area.

Regarding typos, the typos in paid chapters cannot be corrected after the deadline. Sorry, I will ask the editor for one day's permission to make unified corrections when I have a chance. As for the free chapters, I can't tell the difference between Death Eaters and Corpse Eaters, so I won't correct them. Just treat it as a joke.

Finally, I'm sorry again.
