One day in June 2019, I wrote the beginning of "Shadow Track".

At that time, I didn't know that this book would be written so long.

Until one day in June 2020, I typed the four words "The Complete Notes" on the keyboard.

This means another book is over.

I feel relieved.

This feeling of relief is different from the previous few times when I finished the book.

It's hard to describe.

I don’t know if it was the release after bitterness or the hardest path I finally walked.

This book is quite special.

There are too many problems in its early, mid and late stages.

These questions come from me personally.

My design, control, understanding and manipulation of it have almost deviated from my original plans in all aspects.

But it cannot be said that this book is a failure.

It is just not as smooth as the previous few books. In a preset framework, I tried to fill in too much content, and the world I wanted to express was not born in my writing.

This is a big lesson.

Just like when we are walking on the road of life, as long as we are still working hard, it is inevitable to make mistakes.

Apart from those born geniuses, who can go all the way to the preset goal without making mistakes?

At this end, my mood became very relaxed.

I no longer struggle with how to reverse those mistakes. I have tried my best to fix the flaws in the plot and story as much as possible.

Of course, this is inherently flawed.

I still remember that when I was opening the book, there were some "readers" who boldly predicted that this book was over and it would definitely not be written at the end, and it would definitely collapse.

I was very angry at that time, and I tried to prove to them that my work was not as unbearable as they said.

But then a lot of things happened, the changes in the general environment, the drastic turmoil in the industry, and the epidemic in 2020 were like a sea of ​​water that carried me and my book forward.

I think it may not meet the expectations in the readers' minds, nor can it achieve my original vision.

But it is not a failure.

I can list clear rebuttals to tell those who were unfair that this book ended with a complete system.

But maybe, we can also not do that.

Leave those doubts and abuse behind your ears, accept your own setbacks, admit your shortcomings, and bury your head in the midst of scolding.

I deeply realized that it is really time for me to change the battlefield.

It’s not that I have lost my love for fandom.

In fact, I still have too many fan stories to write, but after all, I have to look forward to the original stars and look for the star that belongs to me.

Step onto a strange starting point and find your own path.

My writing lacks a kind of power, penetration, and a certain emotion and concept that can be carried.

I don't know what I want to carry, but I will try to find it.

In the postscript chapter of this book, I added a brief introduction to the following book and tried to break through my inherent writing style.

Say goodbye to the fan for the time being and try the original.

This is certainly risky, but now is the time to change yourself.

After all, it has been delayed for too long.

This is something that should have been done long ago, but it has been delayed until now, but fortunately, it is not too late to start now.

Then, wash away the dust and have a good rest.

Then at dawn, say goodbye to the past, drink a glass of wine, and embark on a new journey.

I am honored that I can still walk with you in the next book.

Love you.
