Ending celebration with flowers!

Three years!

This nearly 7 million-word novel has finally reached the end without too many regrets.

Strictly speaking, the story after the behind-the-scenes chapter belongs to the extras behind the scenes.

Writing any further would be the start of a new tale.

First, thank you to all the readers and brothers for your support!

In this fast-paced era, having you accompany me all the way is a lifetime honor!

Also, thanks to the wonderful editors! Every time I encountered bugs, May Giant and Blue Light Giant always helped out promptly! If any friends want to start writing, you can submit to them; they are absolutely trustworthy!

And to Operations Officer Ah Qi, I've benefited from him for so long that I feel truly embarrassed! I'm probably an author who doesn't bubble up much, so most of the novel activities are handled by him and friends in the management group. Now that he has graduated from college, inherited the family factory, and become a boss, though I'm reluctant, I can't continue freeloading off my good brother, I still wish him success in his career! (If you get rich, please don't forget me!)

And big brother Warm Sun, who gifted me my life's first golden alliance! Still a fresh memory!

But I truly owe all of you great masters the updates... I'll make it up with the next book. QAQ

(Mainly because each chapter of this book indeed has quite a lot of words, I habitually write a complete plot in one chapter, sometimes the word count of one chapter could actually equal three or four chapters... roughly.)

In short, thank you for your continued support!

Especially the good brothers who have been reading from the first chapter all the way to now!

I personally haven't completed reading a full-length web novel in a long time, especially from when it was a new book.

It's not easy to construct a building, but watching it being built from the foundation to the last brick—you're truly incredible!

I believe that as I upload the last chapter with the feeling of "finally finished the great work", your smile is certainly one of contentment or engagement.

If so, do not doubt!

That is resonance!

Haha!

Resonance is actually the theme of this book.

A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets in their hearts, though I dare not claim to have written the story in everyone's heart, I only hope I didn't disappoint your expectations!

If I have disappointed, I am deeply ashamed but also incredibly relieved, as it indicates my path is not solitary, and your heart carries even more beautiful stories!

A long time ago, this was exactly how I embarked on the path of writing novels.

Let's review these three years!

Starting with the not-so-satisfactory aspects.

For me personally, my biggest regret might be the protagonist's feelings.

Unlike the few pairs of CPs that are more popular in the book, as a qualified "behind-the-scenes manipulator", it's hard for him to naturally encounter a partner during certain life stages like other characters.

This is also the biggest difficulty I faced while writing.

From my own experience with emotions, unequal relationships almost always end up imbalanced, regardless of which aspect of the relationship.

Thus, wanting to add a CP to a character rather than a bootlicker, better have them go on adventures together, face and solve problems together.

For example, the most typical are Night Ten and Xiao Jiang, both of whom clearly grew after the Hunter incident.

But the protagonist... with such character placement, it's difficult to find a logical scenario for him to go on adventures.

If compared to chess, his position clearly is at that "king" spot.

The few people around him, able to trigger certain plots, can actually be counted on fingers.

If there's no shared experience, any writing will seem abrupt.

Either the other party harbors some motive towards him, mixing love with political group interests, like the typical Afni (though it wasn't written as a CP).

Or it easily becomes like Boss Xia, Frost Snow, etc., a one-way arrow because they fell in love with that shining person due to being saved by the light piercing the darkness, but the other party may not feel "love" to that extent.

Simply put, from a creative logic standpoint, it's harder to find a CP for Chu Guang than for Lu Zhou.

The latter mostly still belongs to the human category, facing mostly human dilemmas, like the question of "which one to choose."

Whereas the former is depicted as a god created by humans—from the novel's start it hints at being the "Perfect Life Form," a cyber god created by technology (biology and sociology, etc.).

At many times, that's indeed the direction I've taken in writing.

Even including contrasting characters to highlight his differences from humans, other gods, etc.

After much contemplation, only Xiao Qi, who accompanied him through 777 reincarnations, seems the most suitable.

But such a feeling might lean more towards companionship, and differs slightly from the traditional CP definition.

Is it love?

Maybe it is.

Different people might have different answers, yet no matter the case, I don't wish to replace readers in doing this part of reading comprehension.

For the next book, I might try placing the protagonist in another perspective and attempt writing something I've never tried.

Although this might sound like a useless statement, as before opening this book, "Chu Guang" was also an untried character.

Including many characters in this book.

Additionally, after speaking on less satisfying aspects, let's give myself some compliments.

I didn't expect to fit so many characters in my not-so-large head, remember events they encountered, their current life stage, growth during adventures, and changes in belief.

I'm sure friends who've written could understand how challenging it is, haha.

Also, for my writing career, the biggest progress in this book is perhaps filling in the plot holes.

Without exaggerating, since the first chapter of the novel, almost all the plot holes dug have been filled, while the main storyline mostly concludes at the new era.

As for the parts not written in detail or skimmed over, from the beginning, they were left as blank spaces in the story or shadows to contrast the beautiful ending.

After all, with so many players, accounting for every perspective with just my strength is frankly unrealistic.

What I can do is simply choose a relatively light-hearted and representative perspective, depict several key events with a lighter touch.

As for the stories happening outside the perspectives, I can only rely on everyone's imagination to complete them.

Please, help me write some all-ages fanfic! I'm really curious about what happens next! (Crazy hint.jpg)

(Don't write any spiced-up version anymore, some of the stuff sent by big names, I'm still too scared to open.)

Finally, let everyone report the achievements. As of now, this book has approximately 91,400 subscriptions!

High subscription count is 241,520!

The completion event is still in scheduling, recently there've been quite a few new books, likely to wait one or two weeks, but shouldn't be too long!

The next book might be around August? If quick, maybe July, the latest should not exceed September. Otherwise, I might not hold back from wanting to write something.

I will use this time earnestly to gather material, trying my best to bring you better stories!

Thank you, brothers, for your unwavering support and company!

Thank you for reading my immature stories!

See you in the next story (universe)!
