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

Last month's divination said that I would finish the Jumo Island plot 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 could be. When it flared up, I thought I had a perforated stomach. I rushed to the hospital, and the doctor said, "You're doing okay. Some people are rolling on the floor in pain." So, I didn't say anything...

In any case, I'm generally in the recovery phase now. Eating light, resting more, and still writing.

At the beginning of last month, I finished the script's final touches, and that film is already in production. In the middle of the month, I completed the single-volume ending for *Second-Rate Detective and Cat*, but... I don't know when the digital version will be available to everyone. The only thing I'm sure of is that if it's released, it should still be on Qidian.

In addition, I had some preliminary discussions with the teachers on the *Thriller Paradise* film and television project a few days ago. I'm not sure about the specific progress, but based on my limited experience in scriptwriting... 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 Crime*. I am very touched, so I want to tell you here... that contacting me is useless.

Of course, I can help you report it to the publisher. Some technical issues can still be resolved (but it has to wait until the reprint or new edition), and some modifications may have been made due to censorship reasons, so I can only say that this is an "irresistible force of nature."

Finally, the plot preview time...

This month, this humble Daoist has calculated that I will probably finish Jumo Island anyway. I have already thought about the theme and story framework of the next script, and it is basically determined to be a wuxia background.

Generally speaking... it will allow all the sword-wielding players who have appeared in this book so far 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 attention to their health while working and studying, so that they can have a good year.
