A new book has started, and it's still necessary to report to my brothers and sisters.
June 1st is a festival. Here, I wish everyone a happy Children's Day! Hehe...
I will take this new book as a Children's Day gift for my brothers and sisters.
Many people have asked me why I chose to release the book on Children's Day.
The answer, how to explain it, is quite simple, but if I were to explain it in detail, it would be a journey of the heart.
Everyone, in their hearts, retains that childlike innocence.
Whether it's a sixty-year-old, a strong middle-aged man, or a young person; regardless of gender.
After all, the most beautiful, purest, and happiest time in life is our childhood.
Childhood, the heart of a child.
Someone once said, as long as there are dreams, and the ability to dream, the childlike heart will always exist.
Dreams.
Wuxia is a fairy tale for adults.
Xuanhuan Wuxia is also a fairy tale for all of us. Although in reality, we cannot move mountains or fill seas, and we cannot achieve swift vengeance; it doesn't mean that we can't do it in our imagination.
In the world of novels, we can.
This is also our dream.
I have my dream, and I have my childlike heart.
Feng Ling is not young anymore this year. Sometimes, looking at my hair, I feel like I don't recognize it; eight years ago, when I first entered the online literature circle, I still had a full head of black hair.
Those who have followed me all the way know that back then, I typed slowly, or even didn't know how to type; I could only make up for it with time; so, I had to update at least six thousand words a day, and sometimes even more than ten thousand words, which required a lot of time.
When I was writing "Ling Tian Chuan Shuo," I stayed up all night for as long as I wrote. At that time, it was due to my slow typing speed.
When I was writing "Yi Shi Xie Jun," my performance improved, and my ambitions grew larger. However, to support these ambitions, I had to work even harder to make my ambitions go further and for my dreams to have a chance of coming true.
At that time, I was poor, and the only word to describe it was "struggle!"
At that time, I thought, everyone has a life, and everyone wants to use this life to fight for a future; the problem is, many people are not willing to struggle; but I am willing!
So, I struggled! I kept struggling! You compete with me in word count, I compete with you in time; if I can't keep up with your word count, I'll use twice the time to make up for it!
You compete with me in time, I compete with you in days; if you write for eight hours a day, I'll write for sixteen hours for two consecutive days!
If you follow my pace, I'll compete with you! I'll compete for a month! Three months! Six months! A year! Several years!
In short, I must carve out this bloody path!
"Yi Shi Xie Jun," over four million words, took one year and four months to complete; basically, except for the public period before going online, every day was an explosion.
"Yi Shi Xie Jun," staying up all night, for a year.
After finishing "Yi Shi Xie Jun," I found that my hair was starting to turn white; at that time, I would look in the mirror and pull them out...
Then came "Ao Shi Jiu Zhong Tian." At that time, I wanted to slow down and rest a bit; because I was too tired. My body couldn't handle it.
But... as everyone knows, the initial performance of "Ao Shi" was not good. I didn't want my performance to be too poor; I didn't want the performance I had just built up to fall back; but what could I do if the performance was poor?
So... I had no choice but to continue struggling!
Those who have followed me all the way should remember the craziness of that time; from the start of "Ao Shi" going online to the end of "Ao Shi" at eight million five hundred thousand words, it took more than three years, forty months; continuous explosions for at least thirty months!
This continuous explosion basically required continuous late nights and all-nighters; this intensity completely drained my body. After finishing "Ao Shi," I found that half of my hair had turned white!
When I went out, I actually needed to dye my hair!
"Ling Tian," "Xie Jun," "Ao Shi"; three books, six years; in six years, I basically stayed up all night for five years!
Tired?
Tired!
But, satisfied?
Satisfied!
All because of the不服 (refusal to accept defeat) in my heart!
Just because, I refuse to accept defeat!
Everyone has a life, why can't I use this life to fight for a glorious future!
So, I struggle!
If I die struggling, it's fate! If I don't die and succeed, it's luck!
I often hear and see people say, Feng Ling Tian Xia has good luck. Feng Ling Tian Xia listens well, Feng Ling Tian Xia does this and that... Feng Ling is too watery, Feng Ling can only write about brothers... Feng Ling relies on a few rhyming poems... Feng Ling does this and that... In short, this person has no skills, just got lucky.
But, even if it's luck; without six years of struggle and five years of all-nighters, could I have kept this luck?
Even if it's watery, over seven years, writing more than twenty million words, averaging ten thousand words a day, this hard work, can those who don't write understand?
Then came "Tian Yu Cang Qiong"; I wrote this book very seriously; but I must admit, my body couldn't handle it. Although there were explosions, there was more rest time.
After finishing "Tian Yu," I found that more than half of my hair had turned white. Two-thirds...
But I always had a regret in my heart.
Because, whether it's "Ling Tian," "Xie Jun," "Ao Shi," or "Tian Yu," none of them were my peak, and they all had too many flaws. Sometimes, when I look back at the books I wrote, I often sigh, thinking that I wrote too fast, and many things passed by in a flash. If I were to rewrite them, I would definitely write them more brilliantly.
I still have dreams.
I still want to write what I most want to write; I still believe that I have endless potential that hasn't been tapped.
I still believe that I can still fight!
I can't guarantee that every book will surpass the previous one; but I am always striving, and I want to write a book that I myself consider a classic.
So, now, I'm here!
A new book, once again presented to everyone!
The Feng family's descendants, fighting again in the world!
Feng Ling Tian Xia, is already here!
Whether it's good or not, it's up to everyone to judge; this time, I will do my best to create this book. And I hope that my brothers and sisters will join me in creating it; if you find any errors in the text, I hope you will point them out in a timely manner, so I have the chance to correct them.
The new book, "I Am Supreme!"
Released today.
The new book has started, and it urgently needs the support of my brothers and sisters. The new book is like a weak child, needing the support of my brothers and sisters to walk a part of the way. Each of your clicks and recommendations will be the driving force for my efforts!
Many brothers like to "raise" books, not finding them satisfying until they reach a certain number of words. But I ask everyone, the new book needs a soil to grow.
The performance of the new book depends on everyone; if everyone is "raising" books, the new book cannot grow to hundreds of thousands or millions of words. Back when "Ao Shi" had poor performance, I was struggling to keep up with the pace; it wasn't until much later that I heard many brothers say that they actually liked the book, but because they liked it so much, they wanted to save up and read it all at once. They were afraid it wouldn't be satisfying if they read too little.
Some brothers and sisters even removed the book from their shelves to resist this temptation.
When I saw them say this, I was completely devastated. Because... at that time, the performance was so poor that I almost abandoned the book!
Sweating.
So I ask everyone, if this book is still worth reading, I hope we can walk this path together, and together create our glory.
I long for us to weather the storms together.
The new book has started.
I hope my brothers and sisters will leave their names on the new book's page!
Let me see you, let me not be alone!
Finally, I wish everyone a happy Children's Day!
After all, I always feel that I am still a child who hasn't grown up, after all, I've only been alive for thirteen thousand days...
Finally, don't forget to vote for the book every day!!!
