Final Words

On May 19, 2020, Link went home.

I like to record time because it allows me to recall my experiences in the most intuitive way. So every time I finish a book, I will record the time in my final remarks.

On November 1, 2017, the way of the center came to an end.

On November 3, 2018, Guard No. 1 came to the end.

On June 5, 2019, the basketball court swordsman ended.

So now, on May 19, 2020, this story that has been with everyone for nearly a year has finally come to an end.

Before the start of the last game, Link and his teammates dug into their hearts. Today, I am also ready to share my heart with you.

I have quite mixed feelings about this book. This may be the book that has changed my writing mentality the most since I started writing it.

When I first started, I put all my passion into creating a story that I wanted in my heart.

An unknown undrafted player, after experiencing the ups and downs of low-level players outside the spotlight, gradually emerged in high-level competitions, and then grew into a generation of superstars.

At that time, I was very excited to start a story from the perspective of a low-level player. In my opinion, this group of people outside the spotlight truly interprets what dreams are.

They are like ordinary people living in the world, surviving strongly for an obsession, or for a mouthful of food.

I basically wrote everything I wanted to write in the first half of the book. The results of this book were pretty good at the time. The 24-hour sales volume was basically in the top three in the category. During that time, it even won the title of Excellent Product.

I was happy writing it, and everyone was happy reading it. It can be said that everyone is happy. So at that time, five or six updates a day were not too tiring.

But in the second half, especially the last volume, I was really exhausted from writing.

I feel like I can no longer find the passion I had at the beginning, and the feeling of not being able to stop and wanting to continue writing stories has completely disappeared.

Writing is becoming more and more tiring and impatient. It seems that I have really become a coding machine instead of creating.

I get a headache every day when I open the computer and face documents. Sometimes it takes three or more hours to mechanically write out a chapter.

It is no exaggeration to say that this book ended up being nearly 1 million words, and I had a very painful time typing it.

It's incredible that the word pain will one day be used in my favorite writing.

Incredible.

The more this happens, the worse the quality of the book becomes. The market is fair, and the book does go downhill in the second half.

I am also very confused and worried, and I don’t even know why this is happening.

Now that I think about it, there are probably two reasons for this result.

First, this year is really an uneven one. From the perspective of the general environment, the NBA incident in October last year, the epidemic outbreak at the beginning of this year, and the events some time ago have all had a great impact on my mentality.

I couldn't concentrate and was always very anxious. However, writing is something that requires concentration and emotional investment.

In terms of my childhood environment, a lot of things happened in my family this year. Especially from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, there were a lot of trivial matters. Sometimes I have to run for a whole day, and I have no experience when I come back. And as soon as I am interrupted, it is difficult for me to devote myself wholeheartedly.

I can’t blame anyone but Lao Ge. My own mental endurance is really too poor. As soon as there is any disturbance, I will become anxious and stop writing. When these things happen, I will even wake up from my sleep at night...

Link in the movie has a big heart that can remain calm at all times, but I myself... ugh.

The second reason is probably that I am really tired.

This book was written with 3.8 million words in less than a year. I know there are many people who have written it faster than me, but I am certainly not that small. A lot of books from the same period as mine...right.

And it’s not just the 3.8 million. This book was updated directly and seamlessly on the day the previous book was finished, without any breaks in between.

Therefore, I have basically been working from November 9, 2018, when I started updating Sword Holder, to now, which is almost a year and a half.

I know, during this period I also asked for leave several times and took several breaks. But overall, my brain has been outputting almost non-stop for the past year and a half, and I feel like my brain can hardly move anymore.

Imagine what it feels like to get up and face the computer every day for a year and a half, updating thousands of words every day, non-stop.

Of course, I am eating this meal myself, and I am getting rewards, so I have nothing to complain about.

But I suddenly realized that it was time for me to take a rest.

I think these two points are probably the reason why writing my book is so exciting at the beginning but so painful at the end.

Therefore, I decided to take a break this time before starting a new book.

First, adjust your bad mentality, and second, recharge your brain.

So this time, I'm sorry to tell you that there is no news about new books.

The new book already has a general idea, but the operation will not start immediately. I want to take my time first and then write.

But don’t worry, I won’t rest for too long, maybe just a week or two. After all...you have to have a good meal.

However, I also want to have a good meal with a conscience. Taking a break and producing better quality work instead of just fooling everyone is what I want.

I have never written such a long speech, and I don’t know if you will read this...

Finally, I am grateful.

Thank you all for your company and tolerance these days and nights. Without your support, I am nothing.

Your company and encouragement are very important to me, thank you all!

I hope we can meet again in the next year.

I am forever grateful for your gift.
