Publishing a physical book and serializing an online novel is slightly different; certain details need careful polishing. "Cloud Immortal" is divided into five volumes, with nearly two million words in total. Typos, punctuation, word choice, and sentence structure all need to be revised one by one, which is undoubtedly a monumental project.
Ming Ge spent a full month and a half to revise "Cloud Immortal" as a whole before submitting the manuscript to the publishing house's editors.
A week later, she received a reply from the publisher: The manuscript had been approved.
Back in 2010, publishing a book was relatively convenient, fast, and efficient. Unlike ten years later, when publishing required restrictions on ISBN numbers, replies and printing into physical copies were significantly faster.
In just half a month, the first volume of "Cloud Immortal" had been printed.
