Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 128 Remarks on the launch
To be honest, when I first started writing this book, I never thought it would come to this point, so I'd like to take this opportunity to share some thoughts with you all.

The initial motivation was actually a bet with a friend, yes, the same friend who shares the same name as the protagonist. This guy had conceived a novel before, and the idea was pretty good. His writing skills were also decent, so I had always been looking forward to this work, and even considered participating in it and co-creating it.

The result? He's been brainstorming for over two years and hasn't even written the first three chapters. Every time I ask him, he just says he's thinking, accumulating ideas, and searching for inspiration.

The translated version is: cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck cluck.

It just so happened that the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and with more free time, I simply started writing a book myself. Then I said to him, "You believe it or not, I'll finish this book and you'll still be brainstorming the beginning."

He said, "I'll start writing again once your book is actually on the shelves."

This guy's trying to cross the river by touching me...

In any case, this book has come this far, and there are many people to thank for it.

First of all, it was thanks to the support and recommendation from Jiang Cha. When I knew nothing, she gave me the opportunity to sign a contract and has been recommending me ever since.

Then there's the understanding and support of my family, who took care of all the procedures for the contract and signing when I was helpless overseas.

Of course, I should thank you the most, my lovely readers. Your companionship and encouragement have shown me that I am not alone in my quiet enjoyment.

From the unexpected acquaintance at the beginning, to the idiot Kirby who has been with me until now, and the books that have received generous rewards and support, namely My Fate 2, LEB, Waiting for Me to Smash the Cup as a Signal, and the Cat Sitting on the Clouds, as well as the recommendations and support from readers such as Rolling Around, Qingyun Tiger Roar, Xiao Yufan, Sigma's Hammer, luoping1982, and so on.

I'm sorry I can't list them all, but thank you so much. Otherwise, I would have had to keep recommending myself and watching helplessly as I became the top vote-getter for my own work. Laughing and crying (ノω<。)ノ.

As a new author, I am aware that I have many shortcomings, and this is a process of continuous self-reflection and improvement. Please bear with me.

Another issue is the inevitable loss of readers after the book is published. I can completely understand and accept this, as I've been through it myself, so I have no right to criticize.

However, I still hope you can support the first subscription. Also, if you see a chapter that makes you happy or want to complain, you can come back and participate in the chapter discussion to make my book review section more lively.

Finally, thank you all again! I will try my best to update twice a week after the book is published.
