Author's Note
Since some readers have already reached this point in my daily updates, I want to say something about the novel, specifically about foreshadowing. Currently, starting with "The Skinner," the story has begun to focus on his work within the film industry. I originally intended to delve into his experiences within the Tiankui organization, but I felt those would be better left for a side story. Therefore, I have other ideas, which I won't spoil here, but will outline where I'll begin writing from. Taking "Nine Dragons Celestial Master" as an example, the appearance of the female protagonist leads to the long main storyline of "Mr. Shadow"—the Ghost Valley Chapter. It tells the story of the myriad demons of Ghost Valley who escaped for unknown reasons, and how the male and female protagonists worked together to capture them and bring them back to Ghost Valley. During this process, various kinds of demons and monsters will be involved. Here, I want to say in advance that some of the demons may have fictional elements. If you don't like it, please don't criticize. I can't handle it if you're sensitive. Also, while continuing the main storyline, I also need to start pushing forward the side stories. After all, we have reached the Tian Kui Chapter, and many side characters have already taken shape and can be developed. Here, I want to say that some people may say, "Why don't you lay the groundwork for the main characters? Can't you write about other characters?" That's my business. You can read it if you want. My original intention in writing this was to develop each character I had in mind, their characteristics, plots, etc. I didn't think that much about it. If the main character is just doing this and that all the time, it will only drag on, and the huge world-building framework I am working hard to build will become a filler story with nothing of substance. I only want to focus on the soul of each character; in my eyes, they are alive. As the narrator, I am merely a recorder. This was my initial intention. In this fictional world, they are conscious; if that's the case, why would they live as supporting characters? This has been my thought for a long time: not seeking excellence, but simply to write from the heart. Thank you.
I've read this new chapter of fantasy; looking forward to it!
From the very beginning of the story, the author uses narration to describe the male protagonist, recounting his story concisely and clearly, thus making the reader want to continue reading. Then, through an event, the author highlights the male protagonist's remarkable abilities, seemingly capturing the reader's attention completely, planting foreshadowing, guiding the reader along the path, and slowly unraveling the mystery together.

I was immediately captivated from the first page! 🤩 The characters are well-developed, the plot is dramatic and engaging, and the writing is vivid and captivating – it's incredibly moving! Looking forward to more updates! (๑˙ー˙๑) Keep it up!
First of all, thank you for the gift, Lonely Star. I feel a little ashamed that I can't give back much, so I can only order books, add them to my collection, and follow along. 😄 Getting back to the book's content, I had actually read a bit of it before. I remember the first time I saw your post, I was drawn in by the title, and there weren't many chapters yet. I took a closer look this time and I'm very impressed with your concept. The opening descriptions are neither too fast nor too slow, maintaining a good pace while keeping the reader engaged. The characters in the film are mysterious and powerful, yet they can also integrate into ordinary human society. The plot unfolds through cases, creating suspense and keeping the reader engaged. Overall, it's a great book, and I'll definitely continue reading! 😄 However, the book does have some minor flaws. There are several typos and awkward phrasing in the opening, which can affect the reader's experience. I've marked them for you. When you're writing, try reading as you write. If you encounter a difficult passage, stop and read it several times, connecting it to the surrounding context. This will help you identify errors while writing. This is my method, and I hope it helps you. You designed the book cover yourself, right? You could make it a tiny bit smaller so that when you tap the book's reading page on your phone, you can't see the main character's head completely. I wish you all the best in your studies and that it becomes a huge hit.
Good book
I must say, the author has a really creative mind, and the story is very engaging. Looking forward to more updates, keep it up!
I've been carefully reading Lone Star's masterpiece these past few days, and the balance between description and dialogue is absolutely superb. The unique narration, combined with the story's continuity and novelty, makes it a truly worthwhile read. I look forward to future chapters with less dialogue and more narration; some things lose their meaning once explained, so more narration allows readers to continue guessing. Anyway, I'm definitely following this book! I'll offer some suggestions when I have time, and I hope you won't mind.
