Chapter 273: The Trough After the Scenery (Thanks to the Alliance Leader Huang Gua)
In the following days, the reality did not surprise Sun Quan.
The ranking of "Immortal Dragon Ring" on the monthly ticket list is really declining, just like a person, caught in quicksand, you can see this person sinking little by little, unable to extricate himself, until his whole head is not under the quicksand, without a trace.
"Immortal Dragon Ring" is nowhere to be seen, but halfway through December, it is no longer visible in the top ten positions of the monthly ticket list.
You know, in the past November, it won the crown of the monthly ticket list under the siege and interception of a number of strong enemies.
Last month's champion, this month can't even stay in the top ten of the overall list, no matter how you look at it, it's a manifestation of the plot collapse.
Even with it, the book review area of "Ringing of the Immortal Dragon" is not as lively as before, and the number of people who post book reviews is significantly less.
When Sun Quan occasionally logged in to QQ, he could see that some people in several author groups were saying that his book had collapsed, and some people said that it must have been because he exploded too violently and had too little time to think about the plot, so the collapse was inevitable.
Occasionally, he will go to the Internet Literature Home Forum to take a look at the recent movements in the Internet Literature Circle.
Then I found several posts on the forum talking about him and his Rings of the Immortal.
One of the posts was very popular, and Sun Quanquan was curious, so he clicked on the post for a while.
One of the passages left a deep impression on him.
That paragraph reads: "How about it? I just said that "Immortal Dragon Ring" swiped tickets last month, right? The Silver League is like not wanting money, and the Gold League dares to go up, but now?
Is it that when the manuscript fee came out at the beginning of this month, when I looked at the amount of the manuscript fee and then calculated the cost of the Golden Alliance, I suddenly felt that I had lost money?
Hehe, if you don't brush it, you will show its original form! I can't stay in the top ten of the overall list, and I have the ability to brush another Golden Alliance to take a look! Hehe......"
It seems that it is easy to stay in the top 10 of the overall list.
After Sun Quan read it, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but because such remarks had long been expected by him, he didn't feel angry, he had long known that there would always be such people in this world, and he was always afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice.
If such a person cares about every one of his grandchildren, then he will lose!
And there is no need to do anything else, such right and wrong will form a whirlpool, trap him in it, and never get out.
Adjusting your mentality is very important for an online writer.
This point, he has long understood in the years he has been on the street.
People with a bad mentality can't do this business.
Because there are so many things in this line of business that can make a person mad.
For example, readers' abuse, it is impossible for any author to write a work that satisfies everyone, so no matter how your work is written, someone must spray you, and most of them are not sprayed on the point, just ask, if you don't have a good attitude, you are sprayed with different tricks every day, can you still persevere?
For example, when you first enter the industry, you will be in a stand-alone state for a long time. Most of the authors who have just started to write online articles must be struggling, maybe they have worked hard to write tens of thousands of words, send them to the Internet, the number of clicks does not exceed 100, and there are only a few recommended votes, or even not, the number of collectors may rise by two today, not only will not rise tomorrow, but also fall by one, and the day after tomorrow may fall again, the book review area is all advertising posts, a book posted on the Internet, just like playing a stand-alone game, no one to play with you, if you don't have a good attitude, can you persevere?
For example, there is no recommendation for several months in a row, or there is a recommendation position, but it is not much different from not being on it, and all the data has very little growth......
Another example is the same code of thousands of words a day, or even tens of thousands of words, others pay tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars a month, and you obviously write so many words, but only eight or nine hundred manuscript fees, just this manuscript fee, you have to pay taxes......
If you have a worse mentality, you are not too imprisoned, and when will you wait?
……
Whether it's a good mentality or a Q spirit, in short, if you want to eat the bowl of rice in the online text, you have to have a big heart, and you have to learn to comfort yourself and adjust your mentality.
Uncle Reader doesn't like to hear your explanations.
If you don't update today, someone will definitely scold you.
You explain that I have a fever today and am taking a day off.
There will definitely be people who will question you for lying.
You said that there was a power outage in your house today, and there are still people who don't believe it.
If you say that your computer is broken, someone will still scold you a few words, and say that you will never read your book again, because of similar reasons, many authors have already used it, and everyone has long since disbelieved it, just like when you were a student, you said that you had a stomachache and wanted to ask for leave, the teacher would look at you with suspicion, and other classmates would suspect that you were pretending.
There has long been a lack of basic trust between people.
……
Therefore, in the face of criticism from the outside world recently, Sun Quan still did not defend a word.
All he did was to write Xia Changle's plot more carefully.
He believes that his hard work and intentions can be passed on to book lovers between the lines.
Long ago, he understood that book lovers are picky, but also tolerant.
When they are picky, they can abandon the book because of the slightest thing in the book that does not meet their wishes, and when they are tolerant, as long as they can feel that you are the author who wrote it with care, even if you write some chapters that do not satisfy them temporarily, they will continue to support it.
Just because he understands this truth, Sun Quan is not bb, he only concentrates on coding words, and then presents Xia Changle's story little by little to the fans who are still chasing his book.
The original version of "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon" wrote so many poisonous points to test book lovers, and when the book was sprayed with blood by many readers, there were still a group of fans who insisted that they liked the story very much.
And now this version of "Immortal Dragon Ring" has tried to avoid those poisonous points, and Sun Quan naturally believes that the follow-up plot can be praised by everyone.
He needs time!
You also need to keep your mind steady all the time.
During this period, if his mentality collapses, Xia Changle's story will collapse, and once that situation occurs, the criticism of him from the outside world will become a reality.
Those who laugh at him will say, "Look! I would have said that his book was broken!"
Stabilizing your mindset is easier said than done.
The average subscription of the chapters of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is still falling, and it has rushed to more than 11,000 before and has recently fallen below 10,000.
The popularity of the book review area is still tepid, and the salted fish group doesn't seem to be as lively as before, when Sun Quan occasionally goes to look at the chat history in the group, he always sees someone saying that he has stopped reading this book recently, and he will raise it for a while, if he can still think about it in the future, just read it a little more, and forget it if he can't remember......
These remarks are all dampening his fighting spirit.
Fortunately, there are people and things that comfort him.
There are also some book fans in the group who sent him private messages to comfort him.
For example, Pudong Taotao, Sun Quan received a private message from him, in which he said: "Salted fish, you have to come on! I think your recent plot is very well written, you must not be affected by those voices, I look forward to a more exciting plot in the future!"
For example, I always liked to send him private messages before, and I also rewarded him with the love snow ZQ of the Silver League, and sent him private messages with the wind.
"How are you lately? The popularity of the book seems to have declined a bit, but you have always been the best in my heart, come on! I will always support you! Don't let us down who support you!"
There are also old book lovers from the previous book, and some people have sent him private messages.
The handsome Wen Hao: "Lao Sun, I just finished reading your new book recently, and I also saw a lot of bad comments in the book review area, I don't know how to comfort you, I just want to say: Believe in yourself! This story is written by you, only if you know how to go in the plot, it is the most exciting, so, don't change the plot because of those bad reviews, then the book will become nondescript, and besides, Lin Erdan is dead, no matter how you change the plot, you can't bring him back to life, right?"
……
In addition to the comfort of these book lovers, Sun Quan also felt the comfort from the editor-in-charge-ribbon fish.
The female editor-in-charge gave him a lot of reassurance—she gave the book two good recommendations for two weeks in a row as the monthly ticket ranking and popularity of "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon" continued to decline.
One is the six-frequency cover recommendation on the homepage, and the other is the bookshelf push.
Not only did she arrange high-quality recommendation positions, but she also sent a private message to Sun Quan.
The content of the private message is not responsible for editing at all, at least Sun Quan has never felt it from the responsible editor when he hit the street before.
Daiyu: "Salted fish, you have to continue to struggle!Otherwise, I'll be sorry for your pen name, recently someone in the editorial department began to laugh at me, saying that I finally picked up a big god, it turned out to be a fast man, and I can't do it for a month, but I believe in your strength, and I will continue to help you fight for the recommended position, but you have to cheer for yourself!"
What a thoughtful girl...... What a warm editor-in-charge......
If she didn't have the word "fast man" in this paragraph, Sun Quan would definitely be more moved.
……
What touched him the most was the comfort from Yuan Shuiqing.
Her comfort is as gentle as water, and she cooks supper for him every night, maybe she cooks rice balls tonight, noodles tomorrow night, and millet porridge the night after tomorrow, although her skills are limited, making supper not so delicious, but Sun Quan is still very happy.
The happiest thing is that when she lives as a husband and wife, she welcomes her songs.
Belch?
They're not husband and wife yet?
That's not the point!
……
The days of peace slipped away day by day, and soon Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were ushered in this year.
On Christmas Eve, Sun Quan rarely did not have a code word, but drove Yuan Shuiqing out for a Western meal, and then accompanied her to watch a movie, and after watching the movie, he drove the car again, taking her for a ride in the city at night and visiting the night view of M City on Christmas Eve.
Tonight's night view is beautiful, and many businesses have made tricks outside the store, Christmas trees, balloons, and lanterns......
Sun Quan deliberately slowed down the car, and Yuan Shuiqing in the passenger seat looked very quiet, quietly browsing the beautiful lights at night outside the car window with a smile on his eyebrows.
