Chereads / The Bulwark of the Battle / Chapter 7 - Some Author Notes

Chapter 7 - Some Author Notes

So I intended to put this in the "Author's Notes" category, but apparently your author note can't exceed 500 words. Sadly, my author notes is over 800 words. So I'm just going to put this here.

(Don't count this as an actual chapter please.)

Oh, hi there everyone! I'm Stephen, the author of this book, master procrastinator and broke student with a 100$ chromebook. I hope you're enjoying this book so far. I wrote this book because I was bored and I had nothing to do, so this may not be my absolute best quality. However, I tried to write as good as I could, which honestly isn't that good.

I know the first few chapters aren't that coherent and there may be some leaps of logic, but bear with me. In later chapters I plan to explain those leaps of logic and hopefully streamline the book as a whole.

I just wanted to clarify some things that people may ask.

1.) Why is everyone in a virtual world?

Because in the story, Earth is a pile of garbage.

2.) Why?

You'll find out. :)

3.) Is mc truly dead?

Well yes, but actually, no. After all, Liu has the power of plot armor by his side to protect him.

4.) Do people go back to Earth in this story?

No, unless you want to suicide.

5.) But it's a virtual world. You can't possibly eat or sleep in there, right?

But in this world, you can. Unlike most virtual world Webnovels, the creator isn't some game company. The creators are a group of divine beings (aka gods), so the world transcends the boundaries of what's possible. (I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense, I couldn't think of anything else)

6.) How can you repeatedly kill someone in a short amount of time? Aren't there respawn stations to prevent chain kills?

There are no "respawn hubs" in this world. That would be way to op and it would be way too time consuming to kill someone 10 times.

7.) Will mc get some broken ability like all the other virtual world novels?

......yes ofc (oops spoiler alert)

but unlike many other Webnovels, the mc ability isn't a push here to win button or some "gamer/combat lord" that makes the mc basically a god by the time the Webnovel gets to premium chapters.

8.) Does the mc get stupid luck during the series?

Quite the opposite. No, I'm not planning for Liu to be like "Oh, I just got an op rank ss legendary grade sword while walking through the park. It was on a park bench right next to me for some reason by sheer coincidence." In fact, the mc is very unlucky.

9.) Why did the teacher hire the Mafia to kill Liu?

Because he's too lazy to do it himself.

and finally, 10.)

WHY TF IS THE PROFILE PICTURE SO BAD?????

I have less artistic talent than writing talent, which is pretty sad. A whole lot less talent.

Also, if you're wondering, I am not a foreign author from Asia or somewhere that used Qidian to get his/her book onto the US market. I actually live in the US, and even though I'm half Asian I'm abysmally bad at Chinese/Japanese/Korean/etc. So don't ask about my translator please, although I don't think anyone will ask with how bad my writing is.

Anyways, thanks for committing your time to read this novel. I'd love it if you left your suggestions in the comments section below. As a junior author, I strive to take all the recommendations that I can get from others to improve my works. I try to read all of the comments, or as many as I can (unless this webnovel blows up somehow and I get >1000 comments on every novel, which doesn't seem likely in the near future). Unlike many of the already successful/rich authors that had popular books in their home country before publishing on Webnovel, I don't have any editors/staff. The closest thing I have to a staff are readers like you and Grammarly. So again, it would make my day if you went ahead and showed your support by leaving a comment down below.

Shameless Plug Alert----------------------------------

If you're liking the series so far, I would greatly appreciate it if you left a rating and voted with a power stone.

Thank you all so much for reading this jumble of text that I wrote in 30 minutes. Peace out!
