The Fourth Scourge of Star Wars

Wow! Two thousand chapters! [This chapter is free]

It’s still not easy to finish this book after so long. It is now the third year since I started writing this book in 2021. It is estimated that this book will be written until at least 2025. Looking back, it has been a very interesting journey.

If you are a reader who has been following me since "The Mechanic" until now, you should be able to understand that when I wrote this book, my personal life situation was still very ups and downs, so for me, being able to persevere is the most important thing. 's achievement.

When I wrote "The Mechanic", it was probably 2016. The salary was very low and the work was very busy, so I kept a minimum of three updates a day, and occasionally I could burst into four or five updates. Now writing "The Fourth Natural Disaster" is not as easy as before. I am busier at work and have more pressure to take care of my children. Fortunately, the family crisis that started in the second half of "The Machinist" has been resolved. Although it is very difficult now, at least the couple is working hard to face it together, and their mentality is much more relaxed.

Then back to the book "The Fourth Natural Disaster", I am really grateful to everyone for supporting me until now. I will naturally do my best to repay everyone with better stories, and I will definitely continue until the book is completed. The subsequent story line has actually been discussed in occasional live broadcasts before. After defeating the Galactic Empire, there was a series of troubles with the Rebels and the Zane Consortium. Finally, the Yuuzhan Vong invaded, and it ended in a spectacular climax. Then Tang Xiao's personal transformation will be interspersed with it, and he will find his own path. Although my current personal tendency is not to give him a particularly good ending, it will definitely be a complete ending. At least one thing - there is no point in being the emperor safely.

The book "The Fourth Natural Disaster" is actually the growth process of the Fourth Reich, so there will be countless people and things in this process. And Tang Xiao is like the trunk of this leafy tree. You will find that although there will be no blockbuster plots about Tang Xiao, especially later in the writing, you will also find that the roots of all these plots are actually in On him.

now it's right.

So what I am doing now is to develop some subplots to tell the development of the situation and the development of the fourth civilization from different angles. Some people may think that the main plot is too slow and long-winded, but in fact, you should think about it, these events themselves are promoting the main plot. For example, take the recent plot of Qisi Ling. Can you say that it has nothing to do with the main plot? Then let me tell you, it has a lot to do with the main plot. This is one of the important triggers for the early war between the empire and the principality.

But forget it, it doesn’t matter. When I was writing "The Mechanic", people often scolded me that each copy was too long, but after finishing it, most people really enjoyed it.

After so many years of writing books, I can figure out how to write them with my eyes closed, and it has almost become muscle memory. And what I have to say is that although my books are all very long, they may be wordy sometimes, but they are never watery. Why? With "Star Wars" and so many game content, I really have to spread out and write tens of millions of words, so now I am doing subtraction.

Many people are asking me why I didn’t write this and why I didn’t write that. I can only say that there are too many things that I haven’t written, but there is no way, the plot must move forward. For example, my biggest regret at the moment is that I could not properly write about two people - Count Dooku and Jabba. In fact, it was because I was worried that writing too much about their side would dilute the plot of the Fourth Civilization.

There is no way to do subtraction.

OK, these are probably my thoughts... There are two thousand chapters. Thank you for your support. I will continue to do so in the future, including the path of writing. Now that I have decided on it, I will definitely continue to move forward. After this book is finished, there will be another one, and then another one, until no one cares about me.

But unfortunately, it is basically certain that "The Mechanic" will not continue to be written. This book is already very unfamiliar to me. Continuing to write it is not a good choice financially, energetically, personally, or even for the book itself. Therefore, this beautiful fairy tale, which made my dream of writing take flight, can only have an imperfect ending.

after? I am indeed considering restarting "The Mechanic". There are two ways. The first is to restart Tang Yu's story, and the second is to write another war-themed infinite flow based on the main **** rules framework of "The Mechanic". This depends on everyone’s opinions.

However, the next book after "The Fourth Natural Disaster" should be a "Zhanhong" fanfic with Esdeath as the protagonist. At present, I should be more than 70% sure about this one. Of course, the first priority now is to write "The Fourth Natural Disaster" well, and then write it well to the end.

That's it, thank you all.
