I firmly believe that whether it's martial arts or immortal adventures, their essence should be "chivalry," not "martial" or "immortal." Therefore, what I want to write is a chivalrous tale! Because it's an immortal adventure, the chivalrous protagonist I write about is different. He is optimistic, open-minded, and generous, not burdened by injustice. He is a chivalrous figure who dares to make choices without being entangled in personal resentments, not attracting dislike due to societal morals. He is someone who is liked and cherished, eliciting both sorrow and joy, and stirring both passion and frustration. He possesses the virtue, blood, courage, essence, and soul of a chivalrous person, but not the foolishness, restraints, nor burdens. Therefore, I define this book as "New Immortal Adventure!" These are not formal introductions but rather the content I want all readers who open this book to see at first glance. This will be used for the new book period and won't change before it goes on sale. Additionally, there's a foreword, a penguin group for book lovers, and many other things to be done.
