Shadow Empire

10. October Summary
There are 10 in rewards in the whole month of October. Last month we had 221.64 in rewards, adding up to 72.29 yuan in rewards, which is less than 293.93, so there is no reward this month (^v^).

293.93 continues to accumulate downwards.

There were some minor issues this month.

Because I wrote too quickly and was constantly thinking over and over again, the plot in mid-to-late October was a bit messy.

Many readers have a point when reading my books, which is why I write so many stories about supporting characters, and they keep leaving messages and feedback, hoping to see more of the main characters and fewer of the supporting characters.

Some readers expressed strong dissatisfaction by leaving comments such as “I paid to see the protagonist, not other characters”, so I am considering whether to reduce the content about other characters and add more descriptions from the perspective of the protagonist.

In addition, everyone has been voting and updating the content continuously. At the most, I wrote 2 words a day, and the average update volume per week is more than 1 words per day.

I wrote too much too quickly, and I didn't think some issues through better, which resulted in some missing details.

Now that I think about it carefully, the rhythm still cannot be messed up.

The rhythm is not messy and can be divided into two parts. First, I will continue to write in my own way. There may be more advancement of other characters and plots than now. I always tell myself not to be affected, but in the end I am still affected.

This time I will pretend not to see the comments that affect my rhythm.

Second, try to update as little as possible so that I have more time to think about the plot and writing style, making everything smoother and more comfortable.

At the same time, I also need to let the game heal my soul. I haven’t finished the game I downloaded during the National Day, and I’m almost suffering from jade syndrome.

The explanations for the two plots have been given earlier. I have thought about it seriously and it is indeed as everyone has said, lacking some more detailed plot foreshadowing and advancement. When I have time later, I will see if there is any way to revise it and add some of the concrete things.

But the main plot will not change. If you have read the recent chapters, you will find that some foreshadowing or details must be described by describing other things, or in other words, the overall plot is obviously promoted.

For example, Dover fled back to Sumurri Island, which is obviously the cause of the "Sumurri Chapter". For example, some background about the assassination of Luigi by imperial soldiers was written, which is the foreshadowing of the subsequent "Empire Chapter".

But if I don’t write these, and suddenly try to push the plot forward, doing this or that, everyone will be confused.

But after writing, some people will say, "I want to see the protagonist, I don't want to look at him." So this is the contradiction, but now I will no longer consider adopting these suggestions, because I am not very suitable for the writing method of putting a camera on the protagonist's face.

Gangster stories are actually very difficult to write. We always think of a lot of cool storylines, but they are only a small part.

Most of the time, stories about gangsters are dull because they are either doing bad things or just daydreaming.

And how could there be so many bad things to do?
Most of the time I'm just daydreaming.

In addition, I encountered some troubles during the writing process, such as the intervention of mysterious forces, which caused many plots to deviate from my previous designs.

We like to watch gangster TV shows and movies and think they are very exciting because they take the most exciting part of the development of a gang, or even multiple gangs, and mix them together.

And these stories are not long. Maybe each season only tells one story, and overall only a few stories are told.

But novels are different. We can’t keep writing “a few months later” or “a few years later”, so we have to add more stories to promote the whole.

I will try to add more interesting plots to promote the development of the world.

Yes, it is the development of the world, the whole world is changing...

A reader asked how much of the Jingang City chapter is left. Actually, it is already halfway through. Lance still has a few goals to achieve before the second chapter can begin.

The Jingang City chapter is not the end of the Federation chapter, but only the beginning of the Federation chapter. In fact, if someone has a good memory, they will remember that when the environment was first introduced, it was said that the five major families in Jingang City were just the more influential gang organizations in Likalai State and the southeastern part of the Federation.

But in the entire federation, they are not yet in the top 10, so this is only the Jingang City chapter.

How many words can this book contain?

I’m not sure. I don’t really want to write more, but the story must be told, whether it is a good story or a bad story.

There shouldn't be 1000w this time, no, it shouldn't be, it better not! -
Update question -
The current plan is to maintain 2 updates and 1 posts per day until completion. As for whether there will be any changes in the later stages, whether it will become more or less, it is not clear.

Maybe one day I will have Yuyu syndrome and update less [doge]-
That's basically it.

If you have any questions, please leave a message-①-
