The book is finished!
The book is finally finished. After finishing it, the author really indulged himself.
The author actually started writing books very early, and has been writing novels on and off for about ten years, but his performance has always been lukewarm.
In the early years, the author was a very literary youth, and also a fan of fantasy and steampunk. He was crazy about all things steampunk, so the author once worked hard on many steampunk novels, trying to use his own words to create a steampunk world in the author's mind.
The result is naturally a lot of failures.
In fact, later on, the author no longer cared about the results. He just wanted to write a steampunk story and try to create the different world he had imagined under the steampunk technology tree.
The author even tried to combine steampunk with some domestic mythology.
Imagine that Chinese dragons are actually mechanical creations.
Then the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times were actually great mechanics from different factions.
When Huangdi was fighting against Chiyou, Chiyou's clan created a very powerful steampunk mechanical beast, which made it impossible for both Huangdi and Yandi to win.
Finally, under the leadership of Huangdi and Yandi, various mechanical tribes united and created a mechanical dragon, which successfully defeated Chiyou and expelled Chiyou's clan.
Of course, these are just some random thoughts of the author. Later, he did not think of a suitable plot to support such a design. In the end, all of this remained just an idea and was not written down.
After a long period of continuous failure, the author accidentally saw the theme of dad literature and felt that he really liked that kind of theme. Maybe it was because he was older and found such cute babies very interesting, so the author thought that he might try to write a book.
So there was the book "The Cute Dad Who Visits Home", which made the author really some money.
At that time, I actually read those entertainment dad articles and wrote such a book on a whim.
After that, he wrote several books about dads in succession, trying to integrate dads into other elements, such as integrating science fiction into "Predator Star" and integrating steampunk into "Steam Godfather".
But after writing it, I felt that maybe I had imagined too beautifully, but my writing skills were not good enough, and I could not write the story exciting enough, so the final results were naturally not good, and my two books failed in succession.
Later, he tried to move away from the theme of stay-at-home dads, so the author had his first book sealed halfway through writing.
Many readers may not know the book, which is called "Arrival of the City God".
It can be considered an urban fantasy novel, but it follows the Shinto path, so there are many sensitive contents in the end, and there was no way it could be blocked.
In fact, the author himself likes the book "The City God Arrives" very much, but it's a pity that he was not able to finish it according to his own ideas.
The ban on that book was a big blow to the author, and he remained silent for a long time.
By chance, when the author was browsing videos on the Internet, he saw some cooking videos and thought that cooking seemed to be a very interesting thing.
So the idea of writing "Hardcore Chef Dad" came to me at that time, but I hadn't figured out how to approach it.
Then, the author's family encountered problems and his father was hospitalized due to a stroke.
The author once published a single chapter talking about this.
At that time, the author was at the bedside, looking at his father lying on the bed, he felt very powerless, and at the same time felt guilty for having neglected his parents for so many years. At that moment, the author really fell into deep self-blame.
Then, inspired by that emotion, the author wrote the opening chapter of the first edition beside his father's sickbed.
The current opening has been revised. The author wrote the opening of the first version in a very extreme way.
At the beginning of the first edition, the author wrote that the protagonist helped his aunt seize his father-in-law's restaurant and old plaque in his previous life, which caused his father-in-law to die of anger, his daughter to have an accident, and even caused his wife to go crazy. In the end, the protagonist's parents took their crazy daughter-in-law home and severed ties with the protagonist.
It can be said that the protagonist of the first version was a complete bastard, and it was also an extreme opening that the author wrote with remorse towards his father and hatred for himself for neglecting his parents for many years.
After calming down, the author felt that it was not a good idea to write like that, so the current opening of "Hardcore Chef Dad" was created.
In his previous life, the protagonist did not return home in time, which led to accidents for his father-in-law and daughter. He felt guilty all his life, so he hoped to start over.
Then the protagonist was directly reborn and returned to China early, continuing the plot of the book.
Because the book "Hardcore Chef Dad" was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, the author did a pretty good job in interspersing the cooking of many classic dishes and laying the groundwork for the plot in the beginning. Coupled with the blessing of cute kids, it can be said that the results at the beginning were very good.
It’s just that the author became lazy towards the end and wasn’t able to maintain the writing style that he had at the beginning, which was a good combination of cooking and plot.
In particular, the story of competing in cooking with the aunt was not written very well, so that the subsequent plot also became poor.
I would like to sincerely apologize to every friend who supports this book.
The author failed to maintain the initial creative enthusiasm and failed to maintain the quality of the opening, which disappointed everyone.
But the book still has to be finished.
In fact, a reader once suggested to me that I could continue writing until my children grow up.
But the author felt that it was quite meaningless to do it that way, so he finally finished the book.
As for the new book "Cooking Life", the author originally hoped to make up for some of the shortcomings of this book, but it seems that because the subject matter is too overlapping with this book, and the opening chapters are not explosive enough, the results are very poor, and many old readers may not like it.
Therefore, it is highly likely that "Cooking Life" will not be put on the shelves. It will probably be completed and released in advance after another new book comes out.
Finally, let’s talk about the new book. The author of the new book still plans to make a bold attempt and will not write about a nanny anymore. The new book should continue to try urban cultivation, and the style may be similar to a cultivation chat group. The style should still be more relaxed.
The outline of the new book has been almost sorted out in the past two days, and I should probably start writing it tomorrow.
The new book should be released at the end of this month. I hope that I can gain your support again and give you a different book that will rekindle your desire to read it.
Once again, thank you to every reader who has supported this book. Thank you for your collection, clicks, voting, subscriptions and rewards.
See you in the new book!
