Let us have a brief chat.

Some readers have expressed a desire to see Xiao Fang go to Tsinghua or Peking University to show off. I regret to inform you that this book will not be following that path.

First, there is little point in going to Tsinghua or Peking University.

They are indeed excellent platforms for building connections, but if the protagonist were to enter politics, I cannot write about that—doing so would render the story unusable. And if he doesn't enter politics, then it’s just about money. Is Xiao Fang short on money?

Second, showing off conflicts with the actual narrative direction.

Going to those schools sounds cool and sets the protagonist apart from the superficial crowd, but with the benefits come the responsibilities. If the school leadership asks you to film a promotional video, do you say no? If the student union asks for your help with an event, do you refuse? If the administration demands you curb your temper and mind your conduct, do you listen? If you get into a conflict with someone like the "arrogant intellectuals" of the world and the school pressures you to reconcile, forcing you to swallow your pride and endure nonsense, do you comply? Later, when Xiao Fang becomes successful, the school might impose political tasks, the faculty might push for collaborations, or professors might try to force people into his projects... Do you resist?

Given the administrative hierarchy of such institutions, no matter how many awards Xiao Fang wins or how much money he makes, he would always be in a position of weakness. There is nothing satisfying about being in that kind of environment, can you see that?

To put it bluntly: imagine attending an alumni gathering after graduation, where the stage is filled with officials, and Xiao Fang is stuck in the audience, forced to grin and bear it.

The idea that you need to go to Tsinghua or Peking University to build "connections" and show off is, in reality, placing yourself in a position you cannot control. It is quite immature.

Third, there are practical writing constraints involved.

If he studies hard, he would be out of the spotlight for two or three years, which not only hinders the process of gaining and retaining fans but also creates narrative issues that are difficult to balance. If he doesn't study hard and focuses on writing novels or making movies, he becomes an outcast within the school, and the outside world would inevitably cast doubt on him. Furthermore, how would I position his life on campus? How would he interact with such an academic environment? You don't need to worry about these problems, but I do.

Fourth, is the core of this book leaning toward business or entertainment?

Clearly, it is entertainment. Therefore, the core cannot shift; any ink spent that causes the focus to drift is a flaw. There are too many "satisfaction points" in web novels. If I gave Xiao Fang a cheat code that allowed him to get into Tsinghua and solve the Goldbach Conjecture, it would be flashier, more explosive, and would gain more fans, but it would be wrong—it would be off-track.

...

In summary, I am grateful for everyone's suggestions, but I would advise against using such a forceful and assertive tone when instructing the author on how to write the book.

The comments that were misleading have been deleted, but no one has been banned. You are still welcome to vent and criticize. If we truly aren't a good match, let’s part ways amicably and meet again in another story.

I have said this since my first book, and many readers have indeed gathered again for my new works—isn't that a wonderful thing?

Finally, let’s talk about the launch date and the possibility of mass releases.

I have discussed it with my editor: the book will officially launch on February 1st. We will continue with the current update schedule for the rest of this month. I do have a small buffer of chapters saved up—my editor, "Little Agua," is quite cunning and keeps a close eye on me every day.

If I don't fall ill this month, I can release a batch of chapters on the launch day. As for the specific amount, we shall see; if the performance is good, I will put in more effort, and if it’s average, I’ll take it easy and focus on my health. Regardless, I cannot release them all now; I must save them for emergencies.

The basic rule is 4,000 words per day, either in one or two chapters. If there's more, think of it as a bread roll suddenly turning into a baguette. But if a "Grand Alliance" (major patron) appears, I will certainly have to bow down to the master. That is all.
