Lately, I've often seen some reviews saying the plot is trite, saying they can't continue reading or something.

How should I put it? I'm actually quite sensitive, so seeing these kinds of comments really makes me feel conflicted.

Several of my past books were cut off because I couldn't handle the negative comments.

Of course, I know it's my fault. I can't write something mediocre and not let people talk about it, right?

Besides, even if I say don't talk about it, you'll still do it, right? There's nothing I can do about that.

The only one who can feel depressed is myself.

But what should I do when such comments still hurt me?

After some thought, I've decided to chat with you for a bit.

I think, a novel is like a sightseeing train headed toward the mysterious, the unknown, the bizarre.

The pen in my hand, er, I mean, the keyboard, is the steering wheel of this train, and I am its driver, while you all are passengers on this train.

As the driver, naturally, I want to show you the best views, but sometimes things might not go as planned because it's impossible to always have beautiful scenery along the way.

There might be deserts, forks in the road, breakdowns, drivers might get emotional, and so on,

Besides, even if the journey's picturesque all along, people are different, and it's impossible that everyone likes the same scenery, so regardless, having some people wanting to get off along the way is inevitable.

Nu Xiao hopes, or rather, Nu Xiao requests, dear passengers, when you want to get off, could you, considering we've traveled together after all, not smash the train on your way out?

Leaving quietly or maybe muttering "Nu Xiao is garbage," we divide amicably, leaving me with some good spirits to joyfully continue the journey with friends who still want to travel onward.

Isn't this kind of parting a bit more poetic?

ps: Of course, if you really want to beat up the driver before leaving, that's fine too, since I'm already used to it.

Can't help it. Good-looking people are just especially prone to jealousy and getting beaten up.

Hmm, not bad, that's that then. I wish all passengers a pleasant journey; Nu Xiao is off to drive.

By the way, there's a driving group here, are you sure you don't want to check it out?

psss: If someone could often compliment me, maybe I'd drive with even more gusto!

Damn, I didn't notice I've spent almost half a chapter pouring out Water. So, can this count as my third update today?
