Chapter 768: Report a Few Small Matters to Readers One Year After Completion

The days of writing *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* feel like they were just yesterday. Every day, I'd rack my brain for plot points, brainstorming before sleep and typing as soon as I woke up, completely absorbed in the work.

While writing, I kept the standees of Yun Xiao and Ling'e in front of my computer. Sometimes, I'd gaze at them for a while, lost in thought. That female immortal in white, that "little steam princess"... my thoughts would then drift to the peach blossom forest and those lakeside thatched huts.

"My Senior Brother updated too quickly back then. If I could have stretched its update cycle to two years, it probably would have gained even more popularity." I'd sometimes find myself thinking this, but I'd quickly dismiss it with a smile. The average daily word count of 10,000 words for *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* was also a deliberate choice to maintain the story's pace and reading experience. If it had been slower, it wouldn't have had the same appeal.

This novel, *My Senior Brother is Too Steady*, had a profound impact on my life. It brought me some recognition in the industry and provided me with substantial royalties, allowing me to fully dedicate myself to writing without worrying about daily life. And, most importantly, I gained a large readership—this is truly the greatest reward for a creator.

Currently, my writing direction involves two paths: one is to continue delving into mythology, and the other is to venture into science fiction, experimenting with short stories. I couldn't discuss this before because the new book's plot involved crucial suspense elements, but now I can explain it.

The new book I wrote after *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* is titled *This Immortal is Too Proper*. The protagonist's hidden identity is Donghuang Taiyi (drawing inspiration from ancient mythology, specifically Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" and "Nine Songs," rather than the Hong Huang system). The protagonist possesses a bell that can reverse time from its endpoint; this key item only appears around the 1.5 million word mark.

The plot has recently progressed to a mid-story climax where Donghuang Taiyi seizes power from Di Jun. The female leads, Shao Siming and Leng Xiaolan, are also quite well-developed. The book's performance is decent, with tens of thousands of average daily subscriptions. It's certainly a bit less than *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* because it lacks the strong "steady" character archetype. However, aside from that, there shouldn't be any major issues in other aspects. Like *My Senior Brother is Too Steady*, the entire outline structure was completed during the middle stages. Everyone is welcome to give it a try.

Here, I'd like to ask for legitimate subscriptions for *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* on Qidian. It's aiming for 100,000 average subscriptions, and I mentioned this yesterday in a chapter update for *This Immortal is Too Proper*. I'm calling on readers who enjoyed *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* to support it through legitimate subscriptions on Qidian.

Both the *First Sword* comic and the *Senior Brother* comic have been launched. The *First Sword* comic is actually quite well-done; I've read it. They didn't ask me to promote it, but I'm willingly recommending it. The adaptations of *My Senior Brother is Too Steady* are continuously progressing, and I hope they won't disappoint readers' expectations.

I still need to rush my manuscript to compete for monthly votes, so I won't chat any longer. You can find me anytime in the five general reader groups or the VIP group for *My Senior Brother is Too Steady*. If you mention me, I'll be there. Feel free to discuss any questions about this book at any time.
