Chapter 81 Remarks on the launch
Thanks for the invitation. It’s now available.

But according to the outline I originally wrote, this is not the point to put it on the shelves.

At the current rate of progress, if the book is to be put on the shelves, it will probably take 400,000 to 500,000 words. That plot point will also be the highlight for the protagonist.

I rushed the plot so hard at the beginning just to get this plot point right before the book was put on the shelves.

At the last minute I realized that I still hadn't caught up. There was no way I could do anything but learn from Horn and start thinking about how to clean up my mess.

Originally, Danji's change should not have been so drastic, and his conversation with Madeleine should have taken place around the time of the first war with the church.

But in order to speed up the process, I omitted this paragraph.

As a result, what was supposed to be half happy and half sad has now become sometimes happy and sometimes sad, which is not in line with my original idea.

But now that things have come to this, instead of regretting it, let's think about how to minimize the losses.

This is something Horn does frequently.

Speaking of which, in the beginning I particularly liked to add jokes to the characters' names.

I often say that the name Horn actually has a secret.

You may have seen Gjallarhorn in some Gundam work.

But in fact, its original meaning is the Galarhorn, which is the prop used by Heldam to awaken the gods when the giants invade.

Jeanne d'Arc was the name of Joan of Arc.

The name "Chilvester" was taken from Zola's famous novel "The Little Tavern", in which the heroine, Gilvis, was also an alcoholic.

Durdarve is taken from Tartuffe in Moliere's play "The Hypocrite". Sometimes I accidentally type Durdarve as Tartuffe. Please understand.

Madeleine is taken from Hugo's "Les Miserables" and is the pseudonym of Jean Valjean.

Bishop Barnifors is named after the missionary Barnifors in France's "Thérèse".

Gwynplaine is named after Gwynplaine, the protagonist of Hugo's "The Man Who Laughs". He is also a clown, and his wife Dee is also a blind woman.

Don Quixote is taken from Don Quixote.

There are many other such character jokes hidden in it, you can guess who they are.

Closer to home.

This story itself is a mountain of crap.

At the beginning, I just wanted to write a story called "God is dead, Huangdi should be enthroned", in which the Yellow Turban Army traveled back to the Middle Ages to rebel.

But I feel that my writing skills are not up to the task of handling this subject matter for now, and this direction is a bit sensitive.

So it was changed to a story of a medieval uprising, with the Hussite War as the background.

Then I felt that it was a bit too bland and I couldn’t write it in the later stages, so it became a magical remake of reality, and Joan of Arc was added, and it took thirty years after the fight against Hussite.

Then I realized that writing the early stage in this way was too bland, and that the information in this part was too vast, so I just made it into a fantasy story.

Then I saw the book "The Emperor's Dream", and I thought about using the story in it to enhance the laughs in the early part.

Then I thought of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and wrote the story of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into the story. Then unconsciously this part became absurd, so I simply added more absurd tragicomedy elements.

Then I found that too many people had written technology trees like magic and gunpowder, so I searched and found the concept of clockpunk, which I thought was great and could be used to replace the normal technology tree.

This story has evolved bit by bit.

Basically every time I modify the outline, character design, and background settings, I will keep part of the previous ones (because I'm lazy).

As time goes by, the story of running on this bug is formed.

For example, Joan of Arc was not by the protagonist's side at the beginning. She led the Crusaders to attack during the Hussite War and was then captured. She has a cheerful and straightforward personality.

After going through the shit mountain iteration, it has become the arrogant loser it is today.

For example, Carrie's ecological niche started out as Sissi, and Sissi was originally the hostess of the Magdeburg Chamber of Commerce (now Catherine).

After a series of iterations, Sissi not only lost her position as the heroine, but also became a man.

When the editor was reviewing the manuscript, he told me that the personalities of the male and female protagonists were not very likable, and asked me to find a way to change the female protagonist.

I have to say that Canaan has a good vision. Many people were complaining about this in the early days.

But I spent a lot of time revising it, but still couldn't come up with a solution, because if I changed her, the personalities and plots of many other heroines would have to be changed, and the entire outline would have to be changed.

So, to some extent, this book is also a makeshift project built on a pile of shit.

But now, this makeshift team is about to be put on the shelves. According to my plan, I had to save up 100,000 words and update it quickly.

My current progress is 2000 words.

I try my best to update as often as possible, but due to some practical reasons, it is difficult for me to do so.

It’s not that I don’t want to explode, I’m not a full-time writer, I’m doing an internship and going to school at the same time.

Other authors' frequent updates are all in a rush and flow, but I can basically just release them in bursts and bursts depending on the situation.

The probability of a burst of updates is higher on weekends, and then there will be a lull for three or four days before another burst.

anyway.

It will be on the shelves tomorrow. I hope readers will support it and recommend monthly ticket subscriptions. I beg you for everything.

(My own kowtow dubbing is here. If it is not there, it has not been approved yet.)
I hope you like this book.

Thank you for accompanying me until now.

Finally, on behalf of the Papal States, I confer upon all readers of this book the title:

He is a king on par with a cardinal, holds a government with the same ceremonies as a cardinal, uses the Pope's imperial carriage, is bestowed with the nine gifts, and is granted the scepter and axe. He does not need to bow when entering the court, does not need to use his name when praising or bowing, and enters the palace with a sword and shoes. He is the commander-in-chief of the military forces of the Holy El Empire and remotely commands the patriarchs of the five major pastoral regions in Middle-earth.

From now on, when attending court, everyone would just sit in a row of dragon chairs and listen to government affairs and read books together.

This is it.
