Chapter 1358: Volume Ending Thoughts 4
Phew...
The fourth volume, "Symphony of God's Fall," is roughly over 700,000 characters, and it's finally over.
This word count was within Sanjiu's expectations, since there really was quite a lot to write in this volume.
The new king and old king of Shangjing, the rookie training at Kunlun, the Peach Banquet at Kunlun Ruins, the Heavenly Lord inquiring about Great Xia's return, the Battle of Guarding the Stele, the departure of Divine Desire Paradise, Hell, and Zhuaige, the Dominator Emperor, [Utopia], the proxy gathering, the King's Treasury, killing Loki, destroying the Norse, slaying Odin, Bragi's wish...
So far, most of the foreshadowing planted in this volume has been paid off. Si Xiaonan fulfilled her long-held wish, Bragi found his wife back, the M Gabriel mission was completed, Sun Wukong returned to Great Xia—everything reached perfection... cough, except for some of the blades. (dog head)
As always, throughout this entire volume, not a single plot point was unnecessary, and there's no padding or dragging out the pacing. I know this statement will definitely attract a wave of criticism, but Sanjiu can say with a clear conscience that they have no regrets.
Perhaps some people think that since "God's Slayer" has achieved some success now, I must be trying my best to drag out the pacing and extend the word count to make more money... Sanjiu already said in the previous book that a story should end when it's supposed to end, and "God's Slayer" is the same. Regardless of what kind of success this book achieves, Sanjiu will never forcibly extend or slow it down—this would be disrespectful to this work and all readers.
In Sanjiu's estimate, there are two volumes left until the book's conclusion...
The main thread running through this volume is "revenge."
Si Xiaonan avenging herself against Loki;
Bragi avenging himself against Thor;
Great Xia avenging itself against the Norse who released the world-ending mist...
The grievances of Cangnan's destruction, the tangled grievances of the Norse father and brothers, and the origin and cause of everything a century ago have all drawn to a close with this volume's ending.
The next volume, which is the fifth volume of this book, will pay off all the major foreshadowing from the first four volumes. It's a very important volume—it marks the end of an era, the beginning of a new era, and serves as the prelude to the final volume.
Some time ago, due to hitting a writing bottleneck, Sanjiu spent a lot of time designing and planning, adjusting their state, and changed from three updates to two updates per day. Recently, you may have noticed that Sanjiu has been trying to restore the three updates... Of course, Sanjiu could use "adjustment and planning" as an excuse to maintain two updates and coast until the book's conclusion, which would be much easier and extend the update period by several months, earning more income.
But after a period of adjustment, Sanjiu has decided to restore three daily updates, ensuring readers' reading experience while better controlling the pacing.
At this point, someone will surely say, Sanjiu, your chapters are so short every day, how can there be any reading experience... er... Sanjiu has only been writing for just over a year, typing slowly. Under the condition of not affecting quality, three updates of 6,000 characters daily is truly near the limit. Recently, for everyone to vote more and push for awards with four updates, Sanjiu has had to sit from 9 AM to 9 PM, excluding over three hours for eating and resting, at least nine hours every day in front of the computer, either构思 or typing.
Because it's been a long time since such high-intensity typing, Sanjiu needs a brief period of adaptation, so the past two days have seen fluctuations in chapter word counts, making everyone feel the chapters are getting shorter. However, Sanjiu can guarantee that adjustments will be made soon, stabilizing each chapter's word count—the daily updates will only be more than 6,000 characters, never less. Even if there are special circumstances causing fewer updates, Sanjiu will clearly state so at the chapter's end.
Considering many readers of this book are students, since the book's launch, Sanjiu has almost never asked for tips or gifts, except on their birthday.
However, now that "God's Slayer" is in an awards competition, Sanjiu still hopes everyone can move their fingers daily and cast free votes for this book—after all, who doesn't want the work they've worked so hard on to get a good ranking?
Tall trees catch much wind, and coupled with the ongoing awards competition, a large wave of haters has flooded into the book. I hope everyone won't be swayed by the trolling—if it affects your reading experience, you can directly mute the paragraph comments.
Finally, I hope that with the joint efforts of Sanjiu and all readers, this book will only get better and better!
The next volume, "The Us of the Past," everyone please look forward to!
As is the international custom, Sanjiu sends hearts to all the lovely readers!
