Late Ming sea owl

I'd better post a single chapter.

After much thought, I decided to post a single chapter. Today there were a lot of people leaving comments in the book review section and asking questions in the group. Several book friends were asking whether I should undergo a circumcision.

Let me start by saying that I won’t cut it, but the updates in November may be very slow.

The reason why I didn't plan to say it before was that on the one hand, I didn't have the shame to say it, and on the other hand, I didn't know when I would be able to adjust my situation.

To put it simply, writing 4000 words a day is still quite stressful for me. It is certainly not impossible to insist on full attendance every four days, but I am very dissatisfied with the content I write, which makes me uncomfortable.

There are many reasons for this. One aspect is that I haven’t had as much coding time recently as before, but more importantly, I have a somewhat broken heart, which caused the plot’s rhythm to be completely messed up.

The results of this book were unsatisfactory from the beginning. First, it failed in the first round. It relied on explosive intelligence to push forward the second round, and then stopped in the second round. So far, it has only been recommended in two rounds.

For many authors, if they fail to pass one round or fail in the second round, they can basically cut the book.But I never believe in evil, and I have extravagant hopes that I can get up later. At the same time, I don’t want to regret my book friends who have always supported me.

The first order and new additions in the first week after the release should be said to be beyond expectations, but the number of follow-up orders soon dropped sharply. At first I thought it was because many people in the Japanese country were not familiar with it, but the second volume was written seven or eight times Subsequent subscriptions fell faster, and the average subscription gradually stopped rising.

In addition, many book friends complained that the progress of the plot was too slow, so starting from early October, I tried to speed up the writing and did not follow the established pace in the outline.

This is the second time I have adjusted the plot because of comments. The first time was in the Pi Dao chapter. At that time, many people complained that the plot progress was too slow after leaving Dongfan.

At that time, I deleted tens of thousands of words from the manuscript, which was probably about the plot of the border army and Houjin smuggling, and I fast-forwarded directly to the ship hijacking.Originally, Wu Guoyi joined the protagonist's staff when he surrendered to the army in Pi Dao, and Zhang Yong also had some scenes at that time.

Later, I added the two chapters about the Temple of the King of Yue, and the main character Zhang Yong added a short paragraph before. To this day, I still feel that the writing of these two places is rather abrupt.

I won’t go into details about the adjustment in October to avoid spoilers. Anyway, the last 10 chapters have not been written according to the outline.

Judging from the follow-up order, this attempt to speed up the game has no effect. Instead, it creates great difficulties for the subsequent plot, and stalls often occur.At the same time, I am not very satisfied with what I have written. The quality of each chapter is uneven, and the writing level of some chapters has dropped to a point that I cannot accept at all.

But for the sake of being diligent, I still had to send it out. To be honest, I felt very awkward.

In addition, there was a flaw in the textual research. I only discovered it several days after it was released. Although it was awkward, there was nothing I could do to correct it.Since no book friends have pointed it out yet, I'll just pretend it doesn't exist.

This is also unavoidable for long online articles, especially since there are so many historical materials of the Ming and Qing dynasties that it is impossible for the author to cover everything. At least I have not seen any Ming and Chuan texts that cannot be faulted.

I can only promise to do my best to check the information. I think there are probably not many authors who are more diligent than me in this regard.For example, I stopped updating on the 23rd because I found some problems in the original content that night. For this reason, I read five or six hours of literature about the armor system and militia in the Ming Dynasty.

It is common for me to check information for several hours on a certain issue that may not be discovered by book friends, because once I find that I have made historical errors, I will feel very uncomfortable.

In short, I decided not to have perfect attendance in November. This decision is a bit difficult. After all, the subscription share of this book may be similar to the perfect attendance award.

But I still want to adjust the rhythm of this coping style of manuscript submission, at least to make the chapters I send out feel like they are barely passing.

At the same time, I also need to sort out the subsequent plot of the second volume so that it can be well connected with the subsequent content in the outline.From now on, I will write according to the established rhythm and will no longer be affected by book reviews. This book has multiple clues and is not just about sailing or farming.

The above is an explanation and explanation.Thank you to all the book friends who have always supported me. Lao Zhu is incompetent, so I’m sorry to you all.

Finally, I am still struggling with what to write in the next chapter, so I can only hope to update it tomorrow.
