Afterword to Volume 4
Hello everyone~ This is amateur novelist Sou Mengmi who has been obsessed with "Dark Souls 3" for the past week. He just finished the first week of "Dark Souls 3" last night.
This postscript to Volume 4 should have been released immediately after writing Volume 4, but due to various force majeure reasons (addiction to games), I never had time to write it. Until now, Volume 5 has been updated with many chapters.
I finally finished writing the postscript to Volume 4.
The total word count of Volume 4 is almost what I expected, around 300,000 words.
The fourth volume was started on August 17, 2019 and completed on October 20, 2019.
Total time spent: February 3rd.
Total number of chapters: 132 chapters.
I don’t know why, but I always feel that Volume 4 is finished so quickly... I feel like I just started writing Volume 4, and Volume 4 was finished immediately...
When I was writing Volume 4, I finally opened a book group. Although the number of people in the book group is currently very small, it will gradually increase (laughs).
Volume 4 can be regarded as a watershed in this book. Starting from this volume, Su Cheng officially became one of the most senior military attachés in the empire and an important minister who could influence government affairs and history.
Starting from this volume, the plot will become more and more serious.
A relaxing plot like the one before where a bunch of people went to soak in a hot spring may never happen again in the future.
Also starting from Volume 4, the pressure on Su Cheng's shoulders will become increasingly heavy... After all, the days when everyone went on a happy trip are completely gone.
I originally thought I would write 400,000 words for Volume 5, but after I actually started writing, I realized that I was wrong. The total number of words for Volume 5 will probably be around 250,000 to 300,000 words.
Everyone should have noticed it when they saw the trailer for Volume 5, right? Yes, Ge Zewen is about to burp.
"How did the Queen come to power?" and "What will happen to Gale in the future?" These topics have been popular among my book friends for a long time. It's a pity that none of them guessed correctly how the Queen came to power (laughs).
Well, please take your time and look forward to it. It’s not convenient for me to say too much about how the Queen came to the throne. To say too much would be a spoiler (laughs).
Recently, when I was writing this book, I felt a little bit pressured because there were many little angels leaving messages in the comment area and book group saying they liked this book.
There are so many people who like this book, which makes me feel a little pressure (laughing). With so many people who like this book, I can only go all out and try to create something that people will like no matter how many years go by.
A masterpiece is produced.
After thinking about it, I feel like I can’t think of anything else to say, so I’ll leave it at this (laughing)
Although the last sentence has been said badly, I absolutely cannot help but say it
My deepest thanks to everyone who supports this book!
