A little mentally shaken.
I already have a million-word old book under my belt, but my mindset just never seems to settle into the right place.
I kept doing things the way I always had, reading every chapter comment carefully and replying to each one with care, but I’ve realized I was wrong. Very wrong.
When something truly needs correcting, I correct it. For example, I changed the Celestial Observation Office’s inspection cycle from once every four years to once every two, because the original version really did not make sense.
But there are other things that exist in the real world as well, like Deng Zheng. Why is it that the moment they appear in a novel, people suddenly decide they are unreasonable?
I read the comments, and I thought maybe the readers simply had not considered that possibility, so I explained it. But the replies afterward left me speechless.
Arguing just to argue. Things that exist in real life somehow become unrealistic the moment I write them into a novel.
Fine, fine. You win the argument. I lose.
I understand what they might be thinking. Maybe they feel that if the author replies, and they manage to argue the author into silence, that gives them some kind of satisfaction. In that case, I’ll just stop replying to the chapter comments.
I’ll focus on writing the book. The chapter comments have nothing to do with me anymore. I will never reply to them again.
