4 min read932 words

The female lead of the work has been quite controversial these days, so I think it's necessary to clarify a bit.

The issue of the protagonist's background is similar; you can see her as a native, or as a soul that has crossed over and lost all memories. As for the female lead, you can consider this book to have a female lead, or you can consider it to have none—it doesn't really matter. Because in the future, you will realize that this is just a small part of the work. At least at this stage, the work needs a female character.

The protagonist's background issue will be resolved in the final volume, and at that time, you will find a perfect solution. The "female lead" issue will be addressed in the fifth volume.

"Because you have to open the quilt at night, should you not make the bed in the morning?" A complete work must have an emotional process, even if this emotion seems a bit naive. Sorry, while the author has a certain imagination, it's impossible to imagine a human being who doesn't experience any emotional issues.

The brilliance of a work lies in the conflict and unpredictability of the story. If you think a work themed around "knowledge" will be a simple, level-up, recruit subordinates, collect items kind of story...

Forget it, let's not talk about these things. For an unfinished work, the author's excessive explanation is powerless. Only by writing the unfinished content can the author gain some resonance and understanding from the readers, which is one of the foundations for an author to become a master of completed works.

Below, I will briefly answer some questions.

Reader: "When I saw the chapter title 'The Beauty's Wailing,' I was shocked. Qidian is really a place where toxic content thrives. I just laughed it off, 233."

What I want to say: "That chapter is called 'The Cry of the Mermaid Shell,' it's about the mermaid shell."

Reader: "Is the fat man the protagonist's father? He treats him so well, and the fragrance agent is the biggest golden finger, right?"

What I want to say: "The fat man is a merchant, a profit-driven profession with evaluations. If the protagonist dies in the trial, wouldn't the fat man make a fortune? As for the fragrance agent, it fits the theme of knowledge in the work, no need for further explanation."

Reader: "I really don't see the point of the trial, it seems completely unnecessary."

What I want to say: "You will understand in the future." (Maybe you already know in the third volume.)

Reader: "If they are Western commoners, why are they Eastern..."

What I want to say: "These are commoners in the Wizard Continent, not Western commoners."

Reader: "I don't want to read a 'Witch World' with a female lead (Jung Yao style)."

What I want to say: "The female lead issue doesn't need much explanation. No matter how I explain it, it seems like a defense. I won't talk much about the unwritten plot, as it might sound like boasting. Also, please respect the author. The author just likes 'Witch World.' The name of this work is 'The Journey of a Wizard,' with its own unique melody, not a copy or a fanfiction."

Reader: "If the female lead is so easy to get, there will definitely be Female Lead 2, Female Lead 3, and so on, it's garbage..."

What I want to say: "... (I haven't even written it, and you already know? Is this a novel or a game plot?)"

Reader: "The female lead falls in love just because the protagonist saved her life... it's so cliché..."

What I want to say: "How should she fall in love? Isn't that how it is in movies and TV shows? You can try saving someone in real life and see if she falls in love with you."

Reader: "It's really garbage, the female lead becomes an idiot as soon as the protagonist appears..."

What I want to say: "This is a necessary part of the female lead to create conflict in the early stages of the story. It's also a standard character trait of the protagonist: emotionally clueless. This sets the stage for the合理性 of future plots. If you can't stand it, I can't think of a solution, it just might not be your cup of tea. It's not necessarily garbage."

Reader: "Bribing a wizard only requires twenty magic stones?"

What I want to say: "This is just the application of wisdom, not about the number of magic stones. There are no restrictions to becoming a wizard's apprentice, but not everyone is willing to endure the harshness, so many wizards throw their descendants into the commoner world to live as nobles."

...

For now, that's all I can think of.

I can only say that readers have the right to criticize, after all, they are buying entertainment. No work can suit everyone's taste, just like not all descriptions can be about the protagonist being a certain height.

Every story must have stages and unpredictability. If the work really becomes unbearable and incomprehensible, the author will naturally give up. There are plenty of abandoned works, aren't there?

Well, I want to say to the readers who make predictions, if the plot develops as you imagine, in a... pattern, that would be the author's incompetence. At least, the plot will break through most people's mental limitations within a reasonable context, which will be one of the core attractions of 'The Journey of a Wizard.'
