Chapter 85

Let me tell you a few things.

First, in the last climax, I made some changes in July to fit the scene, so it looked like there was no rhyme. Therefore, I changed it back to the original version. I hope everyone can understand.

Second, regarding the last plot, the biggest issue was that it wasn't smooth enough. The reason is quite simple: the tension wasn't consistently maintained, making it seem a bit dry and leaving gaps in the middle.

Another point is that for the Great Xia Poetry Gathering, I didn't want to water it down too much. It's impossible to write 30,000 to 50,000 words, so I felt a bit rushed.

I deeply apologize to all readers.

Third, the issue of my state: when I write about the suffering of the people during both prosperity and decline, it's because I've read many stories and felt deeply moved, so I put a lot of emotion into my writing.

When I write about great righteousness, it's very passionate and stirring.

However, when writing about literary contests, it's easy to fall into clichés. Additionally, the standard for grand events should be something like "drinking to the fullest," but I'm hesitant to write that because I wrote it in the previous book, and writing it again could invite criticism, making me overly cautious.

However, July will make some adjustments and try to lean more towards writing a thrilling story, putting other factors aside.

Of course, another factor is that the long-term intense updates have left me in a state of panic. I want to write 20,000 words a day to make everyone happy, but writing really needs a certain feel.

So, there won't be any intense updates in the near future. I hope to lay a solid foundation for the plot, build up the emotions, and gradually unfold the story. When the climax erupts, I will pour all the emotions into it and write a story that will make people exclaim in admiration.

I hope everyone can understand.

Finally, I'm collecting various ancient poems and verses. This chapter will not be deleted.

I'm looking for poems that are powerful, passionate, and sophisticated.

Powerful, like "When the flowers bloom, all other flowers wither."

Passionate, like "The great roc rises on the wind in a single day."

Sophisticated, like "The setting sun and the lone wild goose fly together."

You can leave the names of the poems, and I'll look them up myself. If I think they're suitable, I'll give a thumbs up and a collection, and the operations team will privately contact you with a reward of 10,000 Qidian coins.

A thumbs up means it's selected, and I'll use it if it fits.

It doesn't have to be a poem; it can also be a plot point or a thrilling moment you want to see.

For example, in Chapter 81, if you think the poem isn't sophisticated enough, you can find one that is. If it's suitable, I'll revise the original text.

July thanks you.

Also, it's the end of the month, and I've been writing until 6 AM. I beg everyone to give me some monthly votes.

With a sincere attitude, acknowledging mistakes and making corrections, and providing excellent service, I hope everyone will give me some monthly votes in light of these excellent qualities.

Thank you very much!!!
