### Chapter 107: Reflections and Gratitude
Today is a day of both joy and nervousness for the author. As a newcomer to writing, many of you may have noticed my inexperience. Initially, my goal was simply to earn some living expenses. My first attempt at a novel, despite pouring tens of thousands of words into it, was rejected, leaving me disheartened and doubtful of my abilities.
After several failed attempts, I began to question whether I was cut out for this line of work. Then, by chance, I stumbled upon a captivating clip from "House of the Dragon" on a short video platform. The sight of the dragons reignited my passion, and I quickly subscribed to watch the entire series. It took me over a week to finish all ten episodes.
While I enjoyed the show, I felt that the plot was a bit too dark and lacked the passion I craved. For the next two weeks, I remained in a negative state. Then, I saw another clip from the show and realized that fan fiction based on popular series was still thriving online. This inspired me to write my own story set in the same universe.
After much hesitation, I finally decided to draft an outline. Thus, this book was born, beginning with the troubled dreams of the melancholy prince, Rhaegar. To be honest, I never expected this book to do so well. The current success has far exceeded my expectations.
Particularly after the initial chapters, when I wrote the "Dragon Taming" chapter, which became a surprising highlight despite not meeting my usual standards. This unexpectedly propelled the book to new heights.
However, I soon encountered difficulties. The plot set on the peninsula, originally planned for ten chapters, stretched to twenty, leading to some dissatisfaction among readers. My lack of experience in writing and understanding of popular tropes became evident.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you. Your support and encouragement have meant the world to me. I promise not to rest on my laurels and will strive to improve, updating the book as often as possible. I will also read and study more excellent works to create even more exciting plots.
In the days ahead, I plan to increase the update frequency, aiming for three to four chapters a day. Thank you once again for your support. Let's continue this journey together!
