If you've made it to the final chapter, you're without a doubt on the best of terms with the author.
I'm truly, deeply grateful to every reader who has accompanied me all the way here.
This novel certainly has its imperfections.
The author is only human — I get sick, I feel down, I get stuck on chapters, and I grit my teeth and push through to keep updating.
This book is inevitably imperfect, with the occasional filler chapter here and there.
There will be things you think are done poorly, spots that don't measure up — that's inevitable. I'll admit it myself: when I was writing, I didn't achieve perfection, and there were shortcomings within the limits of my ability.
As a reader, overcoming those problems and still choosing to love and support this work is surely far harder than what the author went through.
There are millions of books out there, and better ones are surely everywhere. Why read something here that leaves you unsatisfied?
Those who can tolerate my mistakes and not give up — you are treasures to the author.
I can only offer endless gratitude.
But please believe me — the author truly wracked their brain over every character in this book, poured every ounce of feeling into each one of them.
Whether it's Chu Xingchen or Xie Lingyu.
Li Yingling, the playful and fortunate Eldest Disciple.
Li Xingtian — simple and honest, loyal and righteous to the bone.
Chen Baiqing, outwardly scheming but sincere toward her Master.
Lin Luoyu, whose heart carries the vast righteous qi.
Cui Hao, the true direct disciple.
Yun Li, who's afraid of being cooked; Yuankong, who has gradually matured.
Lü Xuan, who gives silently; Bai Xuanling, who would break her immortal bone to protect the person she wants to guard.
A book's ink can only hold so much — it's impossible to fully develop every character.
So there are those, like the Outer Sect Elder and the two disciples, who received less page time.
Naturally, this can be attributed to the author's limited ability, but I truly did my best.
This book undoubtedly has its regrets, places where things weren't made clear.
I understand that some readers feel certain plot holes were never filled.
But rest assured — this book will have side-story chapters.
The timeline will jump around. There may be stories from before, and stories from after Chu Xingchen returns.
Some readers may wonder why the final stretch was written so quickly — did the author rush to finish?
Actually, no.
The later plot could have been expanded by a hundred thousand words, but it would have been a heavy, somber hundred thousand words.
I was afraid of writing without the right touch. You've read this far for a bit of lightness and enjoyment, haven't you?
Writing a hundred thousand words of heavy material — honestly, that might not be what you came here for.
You probably just wanted this book to keep you company a little while longer.
This book was always meant to bring joy.
The author has kept his promise not to stab you in the heart.
This book means a great deal to me.
From a somewhat clueless newcomer writing in a rough style, I gradually found my voice and my rhythm.
Perhaps to many it still seems like nothing special.
But I can honestly tell myself there's been real growth.
The author will review this book's shortcomings, accumulate experience, and work to fill in the gaps.
If — and I mean if — there is a next book,
I sincerely hope the readers who made it here will meet me again in a different story.
I want to make friends with all of you — readers from every corner — through my writing.
Those of you who are on the best of terms with the author will agree, I'm sure.
Also, if there is a next book, I will absolutely make an effort to fix my updating schedule.
One last thing.
After reading all this, you probably won't reread the story.
So I hope you'll take a moment to look at the free ads and give this book one last "Power Up for Love."
Just one Power Up for Love is enough.
It's not that Powering Up for Love is worth a lot of money.
It's just that I think —
This book, which I poured my heart and soul into, probably deserves that gesture.
I also hope that if you've made it this far and haven't left a review yet, you'll give the book a five-star rating.
So I can feel that everything I wrote was worth it.
We'll meet again in the side stories, or perhaps in a new book.
And with that —
The end.
From —
Your author, who thinks you're the best in the world.
