The Demon Slayer's Simple Life

Today, I genuinely just stumbled upon this novel while tidying up my bookshelf when I was feeling conflicted. To be honest, I reread it every now and then. Thinking back, I can recall many small, fragmented memories from that time. It must have been late 2014 when I discovered this novel. I've loved Japanese manga and light novels since I was little, and this was the first Chinese light novel I ever read. Back then, there weren't so many clichés or pretentious elements; I genuinely loved this novel. At that time, I had just read the latest update, the Dragon Descendant Village section, and I think I was wondering, "Who are their fathers?" Thinking about it now, it feels a bit...

So far (I've been watching for so long I've forgotten a bit of the earlier plot), the ones I remember are... The Blood Spirit plot involving Yin Qian and her daughter, the Angelic War plot, the Heavenly Dragon Clan area plot, the Coach and Junior Sister plot, the disappearance of Xiang Ge's parents plot, the Blood Mist Forest plot, and the Golden Fox's time travel plot (I guess these two are mostly together or related). I don't remember the others, feel free to add more! ٩(*´◒`*)۶ As for Xiang Ge's current strength, although he seems quite powerful now, it actually seems...

This book, which follows readers from childhood to middle age, is still not finished. Where did the author's promise not to give up go?

The group is gone, it feels like there's really no going back, I'm not waiting anymore. I'll open the pineapple bun again whenever I feel like reminiscing.

It's been almost three years, will I still be able to see updates?

I personally understand. After all, so much time has passed; even readers would get tired of it, let alone the writer. While it's regrettable, I'm still grateful that Mosquito has kept writing this long. It's my luck to have found a work that suits my taste. Don't feel pressured; you don't owe them (readers). Even if they tip, they have no right to force you to continue writing. Tipping is encouragement; don't treat it as a shackle. Of course, as readers and fans, we naturally hope our favorite works will continue for a long time—that's perfectly normal. It's just that some people express themselves poorly; after all, most of them are inexperienced and their words and actions lack finesse...

Let me preface this by saying that as a long-time reader on Qidian, I've read works like Lord of Mysteries and Spare Me, Great Lord. I came to Pineapple Bun to read "I've Long Abandoned Heroism" and browse for other good reads, but after reading this one, I've never encountered a work so addictive. To put it bluntly, it's a mindless harem novel, illogical in many ways, with outdated tropes and numerous flaws (which is understandable, given I was a complete novice at the time). The premise is decent, but it's nowhere near as good as masterpieces like Lord of Mysteries. I'd like to offer some advice to you regarding the protagonist...

Mosquito, has your new work made any money? I've been waiting for your updates for over 10 years, and your lack of updates has almost extinguished my enthusiasm!

I discovered this book in early 2015 and started subscribing in March 2016. Now it's June 2021, and I've been following it for six years. I've spent over a thousand yuan on SF (a Chinese online novel platform), but my total donations over the years don't exceed 30 yuan. To date, I haven't subscribed to many books. SF used to be a pirated novel website, but several veteran novels and the VIP system led SF to become legitimate, with *Demon Slayer* being one of them. I've experienced Mosquito's initial major hiatus (I think it was around the time of the fight with Augustine), and then his subsequent return to updates...

Author Chu Sheng, how can you face all your loyal readers who have supported you? I curse you to never have a baby!
