Regarding the update speed of Dragon, everyone has complained for a long time, and Shi Tou has explained many times, but there are still readers who don't know, so Shi Tou has an obligation to say it again.
The contract with Dragon was signed half a year ago. Every author has a dream of publishing, just like men wanting to marry and women wanting to get married. Maybe it's a kind of recognition for us. (Of course, now there are many authors who think that actual publication is not as good as focusing on writing web novels, but that was already half a year ago.) At the time of signing, no one expected it would become like this, but now it has become a fait accompli. I don't think we can blame the publishing house; after all, they have their own interests. Due to the fact that many online versions were available before publication and there were too many pirated copies online, plus the speed of online releases far exceeded physical publications, sales became very poor (and are in a vicious cycle). However, the publishing house still allowed Dragon to continue releasing chapters, which should be considered as doing their best.
As for saying no to the publisher, it's unrealistic. Stone also wants to update freely, but after all, there is a contract that can't be violated just because one wants to.
I can understand everyone's mood. I'm also from a reader background, and slow updates are the most frustrating thing. So, I'll update as much as possible. It's already exceeded the monthly target.
Although it's still impossible for now, I'll try my best to negotiate with the publisher and see if we can find a compromise solution to speed things up and give everyone an explanation.
The dragon's accumulated manuscripts are many, in fact the ones released over the past few months were all stored from several months ago. Writing something that can't be shown to everyone is also very depressing. Regardless of whether it's good or bad, I actually hope someone will evaluate it. So over the past few months, I wrote "Three-eyed Enchanting Curse", not because Stone doesn't take care of the dragon's main business or "abandon" everyone. If that were true, then you can just ignore me and make me disappear.
As for "Three Eyes", those who like it will support it personally, and those who don't can't be forced. "Three Eyes" won't have the same rapid progress as "Desolate Era", mainly because "Desolate Era" had over a million words online before its official publication.
For both books, Shi Teng will complete them seriously and won't have a hasty ending, this is also the only promise I can make for a long time!
Actually, Xiaoshi is very fragile and cares about everyone's comments. Sometimes it makes me dare not to look at the comments. However, except for promoting pirated websites, I have never deleted a book review, no matter what kind of comment it is. So, please be gentle when you scold ^_^
Long live understanding!!!
