Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 85

Thank you for the website platform!

It gave me a low-barrier place to write my own stories and share them with readers.

Thank you so much, editor Good Luck!

From signing the contract to getting the book published, without the help of Mr. Good Luck, the book would have been impossible to get anywhere.

Although the book didn't perform well, it only received a trial recommendation and a final recommendation before it was officially released.

Looking at the increase in the number of favorites, I'm starting to doubt whether my writing is really that bad.

The same recommendation gets others five or six hundred favorites a day, but mine only gets a little over a hundred. So I go back and continue reading my own content, which is still barely readable.

However, regardless of the circumstances, this book has been updated with 84 chapters in 42 days, from its release on June 20th to today, July 31st, at two chapters a day, without ever missing a day.

This book has a brief outline, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should have no problem reaching a million words.

I still hope to write a story that I can read myself after it's finished.

The story in my heart...

I unexpectedly came across a new comment today, saying that the book is extremely rigorous.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

If you're a reader who enjoys reading the comments, you'll find that I've pointed out the sources for many of the minor details raised by other readers in the comments.

For example, the strength of Gao Feng in the Fire Hammer Squad;

When did Luo Feng get his nickname?

……

I've read the original story countless times, and I even read through many comments before writing this fanfiction.

So I also wrote the chapter about rescuing Lu Gang, which was to write about my own reason for Lu Gang's death.

The original text also mentions that there were several war gods nearby at the time, but only Lu Gang perished.

There are so many things I like about the original work.

I think the villains in the original text were all very well written.

Even Wang Xing'an, Wang Xingping, Li Wei, and even the Nightmare Candle King later on, which one of them is a brainless villain?

They are just villains, but their actions are quite reasonable.

Li Wei, driven by jealousy of a genius, believed he could easily overpower Luo Feng. In the wilderness, killing him seemed like a trivial matter, even earning the gratitude of a warrior of the general level. So he died. To him, killing or letting Luo Feng go wasn't wrong. You can call him evil, but not stupid. After all, with a dragon charging in, how could he possibly lose?

As for Wang Xingping, he was very rational...

Wang Xing'an, though a terrible person, isn't entirely brainless...

The foreshadowing of the tomato was also perfectly concealed.

How many people could notice the foreshadowing of Earth that runs throughout the entire story when they first read it?

Even the Nightmare Candle King had foreshadowing; he sent his subordinates to place the token on Earth, otherwise he wouldn't have been the first to arrive on Earth.

So, I also tried to plant a few small foreshadowing elements and try to develop a few characters. For example, Lu Qing, Wang Zhi, and even Manager Fang from the HR Alliance.

Although it wasn't a complete success, I could still accept it.

The female lead for this book has not yet been determined, but it will definitely be either a book with no female lead or one female lead.

Many people say the pacing is too slow, and it won't even leave Earth in 100 chapters.

However, this book is not a mindless leveling-up novel, otherwise I wouldn't have written about several supporting characters in detail, and even given them a decent role.

In order to take a different path from the protagonist, I changed my weapon from a one-handed sword to a spear, and changed my dual cultivation of martial artist and mentalist to a single martial artist.

Everyone understands that writing about mental masters is simpler, especially the early stages of mastering the nine divine weapons.

I'm currently reading the original work to see if there's any mention of the Nine Divine Weapons of Martial Artists, and if so, how they're designed.

How should a martial artist proceed in the early stages of cultivation? It's only interesting to write about it this way. If I were to slowly follow the path that Luo Feng took, I don't think I could surpass Tomato.

At the very least, I've read Swallowed Star at least seven or eight times, but how many fanfiction writers would actually reread it?

Therefore, I still hope to write something different.

I only hope that when friends who have read my book think of Swallowed Star, they will also think of this book, Swallowed Star: Time Simulation.

I don't expect you to come back and reread it all. Just saying, "I remember that fanfiction, it was pretty good," will make me very happy.

That's all for now. Finally, here are my rules for bonus chapters.

The daily update consists of 4000 words, with an additional 2000 words for each bonus chapter.

On the day of release, I will update five chapters totaling 10,000 words (I may not be able to finish writing them all. I originally had some drafts saved up, but the plot of the Ancient Civilization Ruins on the 9th overlapped too much with the original work, so I skipped it. I will try my best to finish it).

The number of favorites is currently around 4100, based on a subscription-to-collection ratio of 20:1.

For every 200 initial subscriptions, an extra chapter will be added for every additional 20 subscriptions (201-220 subscriptions count as one chapter). (There is no upper limit, but we will gradually make up for the missed chapters.)

Monthly votes are tallied monthly. For every 100 votes collected, one extra chapter will be added the following month (no upper limit).

Once the accumulated donations reach 10000 points, an additional chapter will be added (no upper limit).

Recommended; the more monthly passes the better.

Please tip within your means;

Finally, thank you all for your support.

Every click and every favorite you make fills my heart with joy!
