If I can write, I'll write. If I can't, then forget it.
This was a line Ji Chenghai often repeated.
And so he abandoned one novel after another, and started one novel after another.
Ji Chenghai had a loyal reader. Whenever he started a new story, this reader was always the first to rush into the comments.
Reader: Starting another one? Finish the old one first, man!
Ji Chenghai smiled without answering.
The reader nitpicked every chapter, left a comment on every chapter, and cursed him out in every chapter.
Ji Chenghai: See? I told you he loves me.
A month into the new story, Ji Chenghai was posting one chapter a week, then he casually abandoned it again.
Damn fate. How could a reader and an author end up bound together?
But somehow, Ji Chenghai was the one it happened to.
In an accident, his loyal reader Liang Fangshu recognized him and pointed at Ji Chenghai's nose. "Finish your story. Right now."
Ji Chenghai: Should I finish it with my life?
Liang Fangshu: I wouldn't mind.
So Liang Fangshu stood behind Ji Chenghai and watched him type twenty words in an hour.
There had to be a God in this world.
When Liang Fangshu reached out to tap the words "20 words typed" on the computer screen, God spoke.
"Oh, young man with so many unfinished stories, welcome to the World of Endless Abandoned Stories. Now, let's have fun finishing them together!"
Ji Chenghai: ? Who are you talking to?
Liang Fangshu: Why do I have to come along to finish your story?
This was a world where the plot could only be narrated aloud, and it was one of the countless worlds Ji Chenghai had abandoned.
Liang Fangshu: "Come on, get started. The sooner we finish, the sooner we go home."
Ji Chenghai glanced at him, covered his mouth with his hand, and whispered those blushing words.
The System had to be crazy... otherwise, why were they using their real names in every world?!
Ji Chenghai: "Ji Chenghai pulled Liang Fangshu into his arms, hooked a finger under his chin, and smirked. 'Don't even think about running, man.'"
Liang Fangshu glanced at him. "Keep reading. The sooner we finish, the sooner we go home!"
