Chapter 85 Remarks on the release
It will be released after midnight today.
Hmm, let’s take this opportunity to briefly talk about the experience of writing a hunter fan.
How should I put it, I am a useless pig and I like hunters very much.
I like the witty fighting style in Hunter that is full of character psychological activities, real-time narration, and battle analysis. Of course, I love Togashi’s writing even more.
This kind of love reaches its peak when it comes to the Chimera Ant chapter, with the blessing of anime BGM.
But this style of the original work is actually incompatible with the attributes of web writing, especially in this fast-paced fragmented time environment...
Even the very interesting oaths and restrictions in the hunter setting are actually incompatible with the attributes of web writing.
Because readers don’t want to see the protagonist’s abilities limited.
The more hunter fans write, the deeper this feeling becomes.
Take the mark of death in this book as an example.
The setting of the "X" symbol on the back of the hand can only be eliminated by killing Feitan with your own hands.
There are probably three types of readers' reactions to this setting:
1. It feels inexplicable and illogical.
2, I think it fits the setting of oath and restriction very well.
3. I think this restriction is too simple and not worthy of the effect of the oath of death and rebirth.
It’s just an oath restriction setting, and there are three views. It’s interesting.
I have written a lot about Waste Pig, so I am aware of the mutual repulsion between hunter fandom and online novels, and I also know that these things will affect the reading experience to a certain extent.
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with readers.
Readers create the market, and how to cater to readers is always a question that authors should consider.
If you don’t want to change, you have to face a choice.
I still insist on replicating the style of the original work as much as possible, after all, I am writing for a fan.
But there are actually ways to improve it, which is to equip the protagonist with genius monster-like talents and a powerful and interesting trait ability that can be easily developed.
But in this book, I did not continue to implement this approach.
The reason is also very simple. I am tired of writing this kind of protagonist template.
In fact, when I was writing the first chapter of this book, I assigned the protagonist a trait-based ability called Community of Destiny.
But as mentioned above, I was tired of it, so the current content came to me in just one thought.
I want to see how the protagonist, who is above an ordinary person but below a genius monster, can break through the death node that is considered to be a hellish difficulty within a year in the process of gradually developing perfect telekinesis abilities.
This kind of willful and one-way approach of knowing that something cannot be done but insisting on doing it, the useless pig should be the operating system in this book, hey.
Hence, I am particularly grateful to the old readers for their tolerance of useless pigs. It is actually quite happy for a disabled person like me to still receive such love.
Of course, after being willful, if your grades are poor, you should accept the result.

Speaking of it, except for the book "Pirates", the first order of Waste Pig was quite miserable. For example, the book "The Mind Breaker" was lucky enough to reach 10,000 orders, but the first order was less than 2,000, haha.
So I begged the breeders for an initial subscription. If I could get an initial subscription of two thousand, I would be satisfied~!
Then let’s talk about the update.
It will be released at midnight tonight, at least three chapters, and then I will write more chapters during the day, with a minimum of five chapters.
I will try my best to update 6,000 to 8,000 words every day, but now it is too voluminous, and even those with disabilities have to work hard.
Finally, special thanks to the big guys such as May the Years Be Like a Song Even if Life Is Like Dust, Meaning of Exploring Fish, Mutant Devil's Vest, Mo Yan of Sorrow, Canberra's List, Tree-nurturing Shepherd (hand-made, not listed one by one), etc. Thank you for your trust
