I'm in Warhammer, I just want to grow mushrooms

Chapter 361 Final Summary: Never read the official novel!
As a Warhammer fan who got into the game through online gaming, and as a web novelist who read a lot of official novels after deciding to write Warhammer fanfiction, I have something to say:

If you enjoy Warhammer games, love playing as a Space Marine or a Dark Tide veteran, and find Warhammer games exciting and engaging...

Therefore, **please do NOT read the official novel!**

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not read the official novel!
If you're going to be a Cloud Hammer, just be a Cloud Hammer and be loyal. Don't read the official novels.

The author deeply regrets this, because the official novel destroyed the author's love, longing, and creative passion for the Warhammer world!
I don't know the state of the official Warhammer Fantasy novels, but the official novels for the Warhammer 40k series are definitely a mess.

The game suffers from a chaotic web of character relationships, illogical plot arrangements, an uncoordinated combat power system, poor character action logic and psychological changes, and forced settings and plots designed to cater to the selling points of the pieces.

It's no exaggeration to say that the official novel has covered almost every problematic aspect of modern online literature.

The reason for these toxic spots is simple: GW is a company that sells chess pieces.

A normal fantasy work should start with characters, plot, and conflict, and then consider the characters' surroundings.

But the fantasy works in the Warhammer 40 series are the complete opposite.

It first created the characters' peripherals, and then hired a group of writers to develop the characters' personalities and fill in the plot, integrating the selling points of the characters' peripherals into the worldview of the work.

This perverse creative process inevitably led to a chaotic state of official Warhammer 40k novels.

Moreover, each official novel has a different author, and each author has their own values, morals, combat system, and writing style, which undoubtedly exacerbates the sense of disconnect between the 40k official novels.

When the book reached about 60 words, the author had just finished reading "Lord of Mankind." The irrationality, cowardice, timidity, and indecisiveness displayed by the emperor in the book became the last straw that broke the camel's back in terms of creative enthusiasm.

In other official novels, the emperor is portrayed as wise, powerful, decisive, and intelligent. The emperor in different works presents completely different images, creating a stark contrast, to the point that I don't know how to write the emperor's character, nor am I sure whether to have the protagonist serve the human empire.

As another representative of the dark style, The Witcher series perfectly integrates the various Witcher characters into the historical context.

The intense conflicts of the Warhammer 40k official novels are reflected in the plot of this book, where the protagonist repeatedly oscillates between loyalty and disloyalty. As the author, I also began to lose my mind and ultimately decided to change the entire outline before collapsing, having the protagonist flip the table and destroy the entire Warhammer universe.

It's like meeting someone in person after traveling a long distance only to find that the photos and the person are vastly different, instantly killing any enthusiasm, and making the creation of fan fiction an unbearable burden.

After the first million words of this book, the writing quality declines significantly, and the ending is rushed and sloppy.

I apologize to the readers who have continued to subscribe.

The next book will return to an original world view and plot.

If I were to write fanfiction in the future, I would prefer to write series like "Harry Potter," where all content is created by a single author.

This book was completed two months ago, and since then the author has been preparing a new book.

The new book is expected to be released as early as July 29th and as late as August 4th.

Finally, thank you all for your support!

Random thought: I've noticed that since I published this book, there have been quite a few more books related to "mushrooms" on the platform, haha~
