*Sorry, I am Not Just a Point Guard* was first published on February 20, 2022, making it exactly one year old now.
Compared to my previous book, *Basketball Golden Finger*, which had 2.8 million characters and took three years to write, this book, despite being only 1.6 million characters, has seen me write at a breakneck pace, never stopping.
Those who have been following me all this time should know very well that my explosive output isn't strong, but it is stable and sustained...
Well, I shouldn't be bragging. The main thing is to thank everyone.
Those of you who are reading this text as soon as it's released by following the updates are basically old friends accumulated from my previous book.
You have witnessed this book, *Sorry, I am Not Just a Point Guard*, from the creation of its first chapter to the conclusion of its final chapter!
To be perfectly honest, this book was created by you and me together.
For many of the memories and plot points in the book, I drew upon your opinions and suggestions, then transformed them into words, strung them into a narrative, and finally shaped them into *Sorry, I am Not Just a Point Guard*.
Whether or not you have the time to continue accompanying me as I write in the future, when you are free, frustrated, disappointed, or lonely, please remember to come back and take a look!
After all, you once accompanied a web novel author for a year, and together completed a novel titled *Sorry, I am Not Just a Point Guard*...
Some might think I'm being overly sentimental here, but I'm truly not.

Gifts are important, but this long-standing support and affection are even more important to me! They are also the greatest motivation for me to persevere without stopping, through thick and thin!
I also know that the support of many friends is not reflected on the leaderboard but appears in the comment section.

It's just that the comment section is more scattered and not as easy to tally as the leaderboard, so there are bound to be omissions. Please bear with me!
As for the novel itself, I feel there's nothing left to explain. I've said what I needed to say within the book.
My biggest foreshadowing was guessed by everyone the moment it was laid, so it essentially foreshadowed nothing.
But as long as you are happy, that's what matters.
Anyway, it's not the first time my thought process has been figured out by you all, and I'm used to it. I don't know if you are?
Regarding the new book, I've given the friends in the small group a hint or two.
I still have two more outlines related to basketball.
One is for a basketball manager, and the other is for a player.
But currently, I really don't feel like writing about basketball and want to try a different theme.
The world of web novels is so vast, and I want to explore it.
For my next book's theme, I've chosen Xianxia over the Three Kingdoms period.
The reason for choosing Xianxia is rooted in Feng Huo's *Jian Lai*.
Therefore, my new book will have some settings inspired by *Jian Lai*, but the story will be vastly different and completely unlike *Jian Lai*. You can rest assured that it will not be repetitive.
The only thing I'm worried about now is whether my modified Xianxia will be criticized by some friends, who might say I've written something absurd.
But, it doesn't matter!
My biggest motivation for writing is enjoyment.
As long as there's even a small group of friends who find it fun and are willing to continue with me, I will persevere to the end, just like I did with *Basketball Golden Finger*...
I admit my talent is limited, so I can only rely on my humble strengths of stability and persistence to tell you a Xianxia story that might not be overly passionate, but carries a touch of melancholic adolescence, and a hint of loneliness within its humor.
Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce our protagonist!
He Xi Meng's story is still ongoing!
Hahaha...
I plan to create a Simon Universe!
What kind of chaos will ensue when a basketball player goes to the Xianxia world to wield a sword?
On April 1st, I will be meeting you all with my new book, right on schedule.
My old friends, please remember to come and support me!
If you happen to like it, let's embark on another new journey together!
