Remarks on Premium Recommendations

For example, Meng Chacha, if the Ming Dynasty broke the wings of my 'dream', then Meng Chacha, after my wings were broken, equipped me with a dream booster called 'Hysteria'. His madness and spontaneity allowed me to see the purity of dreams. If given a fulcrum, I believe he can leverage the entire landscape. His writings are a spring of clear water for like-minded individuals, but poison for those on opposing paths.

By the way, during those few days, you gave me forty anonymous votes. I hope this can help you vent your frustrations. Although you were only here for a few days, I still want to thank you for casting your precious recommendation votes for me. I wish you success in your work and studies. If you ever feel sad or have any other issues, feel free to message me privately. I have completed all the courses to become a psychological counselor and hope to offer my modest assistance.

For instance, inferior liquor, beautiful red leaves, the little mushrooms picked by the girl, the old wolf, the scholar, the shoemaker, the big shorts... There are so many people who have brought me a touch of warmth in the cold network, allowing me to dance the steps of life on the rigid keyboard

In my dreams, I often say that regardless of the prevailing trends or the outcomes, the spirit of martial arts will never fade. As long as there is even one reader, I will wholeheartedly complete this new style of martial arts fiction. Not for fame, nor for the sake of commercial success in literature, but solely to pay tribute to the great masters Jin, Gu, Liang, Wen, and Huang. It is only to safeguard that last piece of the martial world in my heart

Author of "Legend of the Elixir"

The book "Legend of the Elixir" has been serialized on Zongheng Chinese Network for over four months now, and it has been under contract for quite some time. At the beginning of its creation, with the support of various friends, it was fortunate enough to reach the third position on the new book list in the fantasy genre. However, during that time, it coincided with the release of "Sword Dynasty" by the renowned author Zui Da, who undoubtedly occupied the first position for a full month. During those passionate days, I dreamt of kneeling at the third position on the new book list, able to gaze at the impressive figure of "Sword Dynasty" from afar. I was already very satisfied and excited.

The increasingly fast pace of life and immense survival pressure constantly tug at the reading tastes of ordinary readers. Fast food literature is rampant, and the popularity of light novels surges, leading to a decline in less mainstream genres such as martial arts fiction. Consequently, those willing to take up the pen and craft such works are becoming increasingly rare. Even many authors who are currently writing often cannot withstand the solitude and instead turn to the more easily marketable and widely appealing light novels.

A page full of absurd words, accompanied by a handful of bitter tears

As the week of the homepage recommendation list comes to an end, on this final day, I would like to express my gratitude to a few friends who have consistently supported and cared for me regarding books

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. While Dream Back is creating this long martial arts novel, I am also continuously drawing nourishment and inspiration from other excellent works every day. Consequently, what I find acceptable in terms of text and plot today may be completely overturned by myself the next day. This back-and-forth indeed slows down the progress. I only hope that readers can see some of Dream Back's efforts in each chapter's text, which would mean that they truly understand me. Of course, Dream Back is also gradually maturing, striving to write plots that are more dramatic and captivating, while also making every effort to avoid errors and revisions, so please rest assured.

First and foremost, I must mention my editor, Hulu Nanshen. As a novice in online literature, I was bewildered when I first sent a link to an editor. Among the three editors, only Hulu Nanshen responded to me promptly. As the saying goes, a discerning eye recognizes talent, and a hero appreciates the worthy; while talent may be common, a patron like Bo Le is rare. Even though I am still clad in the guise of a mediocre horse, toiling away like a laborer, Hulu Nanshen has already seen through it all. His gaze is like a torch, penetrating and clear; his wisdom is sufficient to illuminate the entire night sky. He is the lighthouse guiding me forward when I am lost. ...

There are still some people I originally did not know, who, through the virtual realm of literature and the internet, have come together due to our shared hobbies and dreams: for instance, Ziming Ming, this ubiquitous "old hand" who frequents every corner of the literary world. From him, I learned to shamelessly share links with editors and readers alike. He has also shattered my aesthetic sensibilities, causing me to slide from the predicament of being "highbrow and obscure" into the abyss of "vulgar and popular." Even the cover has been dismantled into fragments by his "crow's mouth" skills. Thank you, Daming. If one day I am able to become a deity, your position as the leader will surely be secured, with this book as proof.

At the outset of this reflection, I would like to sincerely apologize to all the friends who have been diligently reading this book. Due to various reasons, the update speed of this book has been quite slow and disappointing, averaging around 100,000 words per month. As of today, it has barely reached 400,000 words, which pales in comparison to those authors who manage to produce 300,000 to 400,000 words monthly. However, I can confidently assure you that the quality of this book is absolutely guaranteed. Since its upload, I have personally revised the entire book more than three times, which is also why some chapters have been uploaded multiple times.

In the conclusion of this article, I would like to express my gratitude to those who have silently supported and assisted me, as well as to those who have contributed to my work. Many of these individuals are friends I have known since childhood. For instance, there is Pang Pang: it was his encouragement that helped me overcome my laziness and, with determination, write this book to nearly 400,000 words. Then there is Xiao Cui: his comics serialized on Youyaoqi ultimately gave me the courage to unveil the worlds that had been gathering dust on my computer to the public. Additionally, there is Gang Zhen: it is he who tirelessly promotes my humble work to his friends. ... And then there is Xiao Cui again: his comics on Youyaoqi inspired me to finally share the worlds I had kept hidden on my computer. And Gang Zhen, who persistently sells my modest creations to his friends. ... There are simply too many friends in my life who have provided me with support and encouragement

Having discussed the Southern God of the Gourd, it is now time to talk about my own efforts. "The Legend of the Elixir" is the cherished offspring born after two years of gestation. The outline of the story alone has nearly 20,000 words, not to mention the additional 60,000 to 70,000 words of story synopsis. I can responsibly say that the fates of the protagonist and all his companions are deeply etched in my mind. For the first time, I experienced the kind of 'powerlessness' that Jin Da said authors feel, as every character created by the author can be considered a 'child' of theirs.

A novelist is essentially a storyteller, and I rather "selfishly" hope that readers of "The Legend of the Elixir" will not only find joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness within its pages, but also gain some insights and direction on how to be a better person

Wuxia novels once swept across the entire land of Shenzhou, with the passionate world of rivers and lakes and the touching blend of chivalry and tenderness profoundly influencing the growth of several generations. How many online novelists, when they first picked up their pens, did so merely out of a longing for the rivers and lakes in their hearts

In recommending a day, a thousand years have already passed in this world. Dreaming back to a time when I occupied a high position, I feel extremely ashamed for merely occupying a position without contributing. I can only express my remorse through more splendid plots and more diligent updates.

The author can guide the growth of the child, but once the child matures, their actions are no longer under the author's control. What the author can do is merely to record the remarkable lives of these uniquely characterized children as an observer. Once the characters in the book come to life, the book itself acquires a soul. Only when a book has a soul does it possess a unique charm that captivates readers, making it endlessly enjoyable.

The fallen scholar dreams of returning to countless worlds, with utmost respect

However, it must be said that with the development of the times, and with the gradual retirement of several martial arts masters such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng, the number of old-generation masters still wielding the pen has become increasingly scarce. The new generation of martial arts inheritors, in terms of writing style, creative level, and enthusiasm for creation, falls far short of those earlier masters. This has led to a gradual decline in the creation of martial arts novels, with some alarmists even declaring that 'martial arts is dead.' While this statement is undoubtedly biased, it is an undeniable fact that the golden age of martial arts novels has quietly passed.
