Chapter 121: Author's Note
Finally, it’s time for the book to be released. Let me share some thoughts in the process.
Firstly, let’s talk about this book. The plot developed smoothly, with a good foundation laid in the beginning that quickly filled in the gaps. I think it turned out quite well.
After reading some reviews, many people couldn’t handle the part about marriage and labeled it as a turning point.
Some criticized that the initial twenty chapters were well-written, and despite minor flaws, it was a good read. They found the conflict introduced with Tang Xuan’s marriage somewhat inexplicable, questioning the need for such a storyline.
To be honest, when I was writing the first twenty chapters, I was afraid the plot might be too plain, so I wanted to introduce a conflict, a plot twist.
Unexpectedly, a misstep can become a lasting regret. Well, that’s fine. Readers who can endure the marriage part should be able to continue reading.
In hindsight, it would have been better to know what the readers liked or disliked about the plot. It would have helped avoid pitfalls later on, rather than surprising readers with a plot twist after the book is released, potentially driving them away.
Regarding the criticism about the marriage part in the reviews, I’ve mostly left them untouched. A book without any criticism is truly cold.
As for some mindless criticisms, I deleted them.
