Thank you to every reader!
Before you know it, the book is nearing its end.
I suddenly found that there were still a few readers who were reluctant to finish the book.
For a while, I had mixed feelings in my heart.
This book was first published on January 1, 2020, on a date I deliberately chose, the first day of the new year, a new beginning.
At that time, it was the low point of my life, with no job, no income, and I was fighting against the water.
At first, I didn't have high expectations for this book, thinking that I would be able to have 1,000 mixed meals for the first order.
Gradually, I found that my grades were okay.
So, I started dreaming, thinking that if I could get a 3,000 for the first order, then everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, the first order on the first day of the shelves was 4100.
It's a number that far exceeds my expectations and has only been seen in my dreams.
You know, the best books I've ever written are only 1,000 first orders.
The first order of 4100 means that as long as you work hard to update, your monthly income can exceed 10,000.
Seeing this result, I felt like I had been beaten with chicken blood.
In addition to eating and sleeping every day, it is to conceive code words.
Three changes a day, for many authors, is nothing.
But for me, it takes more than a dozen hours of effort.
Because this book is really too brain-consuming to write.
Sometimes, it's not uncommon for a chapter to be revised six or seven times.
It's a pity that even though I tried my best, the writing still became more and more ugly.
The story is not good-looking, and it can be presented very intuitively from the reader's subscription.
Subscriptions are falling off a cliff, hundreds of dollars per day.
I panicked and began to desperately find the reason.
You know, unless you write an extremely poisonous plot such as a green hat, this will happen.
I asked other authors, and they also said that they couldn't understand it.
I even suspected that it was a reader who swiped my subscription that caused the first subscription to be inflated and then collapsed.
In order to stabilize the subscription, I can only change three updates a day to two updates a day, and spend more time polishing the plot.
But as a result, nothing has changed.
No matter what I do, I can't bring back lost readers.
In the first month on the shelves, there were more than 10,000 new subscriptions per day on average, and my manuscript fee undoubtedly exceeded 10,000.
This is the first time in my life that I have paid more than 10,000 yuan, but in my heart, in addition to joy, there is more panic.
Because I know that the subscription has collapsed.
By the end of the second month, there were two updates per day, and there were only more than 2,000 new subscriptions.
At that time, I was really blindsided.
If there are more than 10,000 new subscriptions every day, the monthly manuscript fee will exceed 10,000.
And with more than 2,000 new subscriptions every day, the manuscript fee is obvious.
The ups and downs are more painful than seeing no hope in the first place.
By this time, I was already on the verge of collapse.
I felt like an incorrigible piece of waste.
Heaven gave me a chance to turn over, but I couldn't catch it.
Will there be a second chance like this?
I became more and more confused, more and more desperate, and the stories became more and more ugly.
Sometimes, staring at a blank document, you can't write a word for hours.
I started to hate the story, the book, the codeword, everything around me......
Until one day, I couldn't remember the previous chapters.
So, from the perspective of a reader, I started with chapter 1 and re-read this book that I wrote by hand.
From noon until late at night......
Admittedly, there are some embarrassing, unbearable episodes of cerebral palsy.
However, there are also many spiritual and interesting stories.
In conjunction with this chapter, I don't know how many times it has made me amused.
That's when I realized...... So this book is so interesting!
But when I saw the more and more boring plots after they hit the shelves, I suddenly understood why subscriptions kept bleeding.
Because those episodes are not worth the reader's money to subscribe to......
For genuine readers, subscribing to a book can cost a few dollars a month.
But if you subscribe to a lot of books at the same time, it's really expensive.
Then a trade-off had to be made.
The boring plot of this book after it was put on the shelves was destined to be abandoned......
The reader abandoned the book, and that's my problem.
If I ever give up this book, I don't deserve to write it again!
So, I wanted to give this book the most complete story......
Admittedly, as long as I add some settings and change a map, just like everything else, it will not be a problem to add tens or millions of words.
But I've always had a stinky problem - hypocrisy!
I think the plot is good-looking and interesting, and it's almost written.
If you write it down, it's all tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away.
I don't want to use this stuff to cheat money out of me, and I don't want to disappoint readers who have loved this book before.
Since it starts in Ditan City, it ends in Ditan City.
No settings, no map changes.
I will fill all the holes that can be filled.
The framework of the ending is actually in my head for a long time, and this is the best ending I can think of.
But how to make this ending interesting is a difficult problem.
So, I'm going to write this very slowly, so please forgive me.
Thank you to everyone who can see here, whether it is me or this book, it is not good enough, thank you for your tolerance!
Thank you to every reader who subscribes to the tip, thank you for your love!
Thank you.
