Well, it's the beginning of the month, time for another divination.

Last month's divination said that I would finish the Jumo Island arc in November, but unfortunately, I didn't foresee myself being hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis at the end of the month.

It was only when I got sick that I realized how painful gastroenteritis can be. When it flared up, I thought I had a perforated stomach. I rushed to the hospital, but the doctor said my condition was okay, that some people were in so much pain they were rolling on the ground. So, I didn't say anything...

In short, I'm mostly in the recovery phase now. Eating light, getting more rest, and still writing.

At the beginning of last month, I finished the final touches on the screenplay. The movie is already being filmed. In the middle of the month, I completed the single-volume ending of Second-Rate Detective and the Cat, but... I don't know when the digital version will be released. The only thing I'm sure of is that if it's released, it should still be on Qidian.

Also, a few days ago, I had some preliminary communication with the teachers on the Thriller Paradise film and television project. I don't know the specific progress, but based on my limited experience in screenwriting... it's still a long way off before a work is released...

Recently, many friends have contacted me about some printing and proofreading issues with the physical books of *Thriller Paradise* and *Selling Sins*. I am very touched, so I want to tell you here... it's really useless to contact me about that.

Of course, I can help you relay the information to the publisher. Some technical problems can be solved (but only when it's reprinted or in a second edition). As for some modifications made due to censorship, I can only say that this is an "irresistible force of nature."

Finally, a preview of the plot...

This month, this humble Taoist has done some calculations and estimates that the Jumo Island arc will be finished no matter what. I've already thought about the theme and story framework for the script after that, and it's basically determined to be a wuxia background.

Roughly speaking... all the sword-wielding players who have appeared in this book so far will be able to determine who is the best in this script.

Okay, that's all for this time.

In the blink of an eye, it's the end of the year again. The temperature has dropped sharply this month. Everyone should pay more attention to their health while working and studying. Good health is the key to a good year, after all.
