Fairy, help me cultivate.

"I wonder how the South China Sea is doing now." Ling Ning adjusted her position in Chen Yao's arms and comfortably squinted her eyes.

Chen Yao kissed each of them: "I don't care. What I care about is whether you can fight again today."

Upon hearing this, the women all giggled.

Yun Jiang raised an eyebrow: "Afraid of you?"

"Then come on!"

"Ah—uh...ahhhhh...Master, Jiang'er can't take it anymore...the back...the back is going to..."

Author's Closing Remarks

This is the second book.

The first volume is generally better than the later ones. The second volume is not good; in fact, it has fallen apart.

I've always had this flawed mindset of centering the plot around battles, a mindset I only gradually realized recently while reading and writing my third book.

Combat is merely a means for the protagonist to achieve satisfying moments; the key lies in the initial setup and the rewards gained from those actions. Combat is completely unimportant if it doesn't enhance the viewing experience or the sense of satisfaction. Even if it does enhance the viewing experience and the sense of satisfaction, it shouldn't occupy too much screen time.

Regarding the character design, because there were no plot points designed to develop the character design, and the character design was forced, it felt very awkward and inconsistent.

Regarding the female protagonist's development, the emotional progression hadn't been fully summarized when the book was written, so it felt very stiff. Later, the pace of the female protagonist's development was accelerated, which made the reading experience very unpleasant.

The third book needs to be stronger, and we should strive to make the fourth book even stronger.

Thank you everyone who has followed me this far. I will continue to work hard, improve, and write better stories.
