Popular Recommendations: Heaven’s Law of Punishment for Evil: The Sims’ Beast Control starting from Pillar Destruction: Pet beasts are just for me to bond with

I have been thinking about this for a long time, and I decided to talk to you today.

I'm the kind of person whose thoughts can't help but wander when I'm alone.

It has been 23 days since the lockdown,

Recently, I have calmed down and thought about a lot of things. From the time I entered the industry to now, I have thought about a lot.

Think about your own strengths.

Think about your shortcomings.

Think about your own merits and demerits.

Think about the pride and regret of the work.

Indeed, people like to look through the past once they calm down.

I am no exception.

During this period, when I began to look back at the worlds I wrote about, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful and disappointed.

When I look back at myself, I find it difficult to calm down.

For me now, I want to refine every work I have ever done.

In the past few days, every time I started writing the book "The Naming of Night", I had reached a certain level of obsession.

Sitting in front of the computer, there is no follow-up plot in my mind, only the regrets of the updated chapters and the idea that it would be better if the details are changed.

I admit, I am stuck in place now.

Long-form serialization is a very energy-consuming thing. In the first half year, the energy and ideas are endless, and I can maintain the original idea and expand the new world in the book. But as time goes by, I will slowly enter a new world.

In a state of fatigue, my thoughts begin to wander. It's like some characters in the book will take some detours, and I sometimes enter this state without knowing it.

While writing the book, I experienced many unexpected things, including fractures, a new child in the family, community closures, and some other messy things. But during this period, I was affected by this and delayed the work itself. I felt very sad.

It made me feel that this book was not so pure, and I couldn't match the characters and plot that this book should have.

Yesterday, with some bold ideas, I went back to read the reviews of book friends, which made me start to examine the book "The Naming Technique of Night". The characters and events in some chapters could obviously be more refined and delicate, but they were all there after I finally finished writing.

Defects.

Looking at some of the chapters in the second half, there is no structure to speak of and no writing to speak of.

I sat in front of the computer for seven hours today, and my mind was full of tangles with all this. Just like an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who cannot accept toys that are not arranged neatly, I cannot accept this book now.

I feel that a work that makes readers happy should not be like this. I hope I can be more responsible.

Therefore, I just communicated with the editor and the website and made a decision: stop updating and revise the article.

"The Naming Technique of Night" is to be continued

There are three original intentions for the modification.

The first is that I want to modify certain plots.

For example: after Qingchen entered Li's Banshan Manor, there should have been more stories.

For example: Qingchen should have been dealt with more carefully after he became an inspector and was arrested.

For example: the life-and-death challenge on the Barents Sea should have been more interesting.

For example: Yesterday’s last life and death challenge feels too hasty now when I think about it.

The second is to delete some irrelevant text to make the book look more concise and less nonsense, and to refine some rough chapters to make the text and plot more coherent.

The third is to delete some inexplicable and unnecessary plots.

Although I have decided to do this, I don’t want to decide on my own how to stop updates and revise the text.

So, I want to ask for your opinions here.

The first:

I will open a new book "The Naming Technique of Night (Refined Edition)", and I will send the revised content there one by one. The full text is free.

But in this case, you may not be able to see the latest chapter for a while, and you can only continue reading after it reaches the level.

Second type:

I will make modifications to the current original text, temporarily block the chapters that have not been modified, and modify one chapter and put it in another chapter.

This way you can relive this world with me.

The third type:

I will try my best to bring back the current thoughts and write the ending based on the logical line and the world in the book. After the ending, I will open a new book "The Naming of Night (Refined Edition)", the full text is free.

In this way, the ending written later may contain some issues left over from the previous one.

I know you may have different choices. I think I will eventually choose the method with the most votes to revise the article.

But no matter which choice it is, I will complete it as soon as possible and won't make you wait too long.

During the revision period, some activities will be held regularly in the comment area and some benefits will be given to everyone as apology and compensation.

I understand that this is a thankless task, but I am more worried that I will not be impulsive or have the energy to do such things in the future. Now I just hope that while I still have some enthusiasm, I can make this book better.

, it also allows me to have less regrets.

Posting this single chapter, I want to hear everyone's thoughts. You can reply to the comments with the following options: the first type/the second type/the third type. Thank you for your continued companionship.
