"Book of the Night" is free from August 10, 2012

From August 10, 2012 onwards, all chapters of "Book of the Night" are free to read - a notice to all readers of the night

Hello dear readers,

"Book of the Night" has been serialized for nearly three years since it was first serialized. I never thought that I would be able to sign a contract, let alone get the support of so many readers and friends, everyone often sent me very warm greetings, and asked me about the subtleties in the chapters, and the rigorous attitude is no less than that of history books, and sometimes the questions raised surprise me, because I pay more attention to the big picture, and I haven't thought so much about the subtleties. It is everyone's seriousness, love and support for this book that makes me especially grateful, and I am able to write to this day, although the results are not outstanding, at least beyond my expectations. It was mainly thanks to your support that I got all the way down.

On August 9, 2012, after work yesterday, I dragged my tired body back home, thinking that the day was finally over again. I am twenty-nine years old, thirty years old, I was particularly nostalgic for my childhood, especially nostalgic for youth, it is said that I should not hope that the days will pass so quickly day by day, but I am a front-line workshop worker, the degree of hard work may not be as good as the construction site and the harsh assembly line workers, I have worked for five or six years, from a few hundred yuan to just enough two thousand yuan now, and I have paid a lot of sweat. I am not tall, not handsome, average IQ, poor grades in school, no education, college education, born and raised in an extremely ordinary working family, nothing is good at, so there has been no object, year after year blind date, but no results, the Internet in recent years popular "dwarf poor", "sling", I happened to see, suddenly this word appeared too late, the inventor had known me a few years earlier, maybe he would have invented ten years earlier. Therefore, it is not easy for such an ordinary me to get to this day and have a fixed job, and it is also the best I can do, and I dare not ask for extravagance.

Especially when I get home, I don't have time to change my dirty and smelly work clothes and socks, so I can't wait to open the old computer that has been used since 04 to the present, just hoping to see the page of my novel earlier, see how many readers have been added, what new messages have been left by book friends, and how much my clicks and subscriptions have improved...... Although I can't say that writing is my everything, after all, no matter how poor and hard I am, at least I have kind, healthy, life-loving parents and relatives to accompany me, and a few friends and colleagues who are also poor but happy to accompany me, so I am not lonely. But I can say that writing is my spiritual pillar.

Yesterday, however, my editor suddenly told me that I could no longer write my novel. I didn't understand it at the time, because I hadn't experienced a life of great wealth, so I couldn't tell you how surprised, lost, and helpless I was, probably like the faces of rich people when they saw the stock market crash. I'm pretty sure it's not a joke, because my editor is reticent and never jokes with me. I hurriedly asked why, and he told me that my novels no longer belong to the category of horror and thriller, and that writing has nothing to do with thrillers. I explained that it did become science fiction later, but thriller and science fiction can also be connected. The editor disagreed, and asked me to stop the VIP chapter and finish the book immediately. I remember there were also novels that changed from urban to military as the plot developed, but still managed to serialize millions of words, and there were novels that started out as horror thrillers, but then changed to science fiction, and I don't quite say the names of these novels, but they are famous, and everyone must understand. I asked if there was room for negotiation, and the editor said no, and I asked when it would stop, and the editor said it was now. I knew that I couldn't say anything more, so I could only agree. The editor said, "I suggest you open a new book when you're done."

There is still a considerable part of my novel, which cannot be finished, and now it is barely finished, which is equivalent to a eunuch. I can't help but feel sorry for my readers, especially those who spend money on VIP chapters, they definitely don't want to see a hasty ending, a perfunctory ending, it is better to dig a pit for ten thousand years, at least it is not an insult to the reader. So I tentatively made a final inquiry: "Excuse me, if I want to keep writing and finish it, but then it's all free chapters, and there is no charge, can you allow me to write it down and really finish it?" The editor agreed, saying that's fine, as long as you don't have VIP chapters anymore. I was a little relieved, and it was okay that I was finally able to finish it. I had to finish writing it. It's going to take a while to finish it, and then I'll write a new novel, one with an urban theme.

To be honest, I really don't want to charge for the VIP chapter, although I look at the full attendance every month, which is also a small number, but it is always better than nothing, that is one of the motivations for my writing, otherwise according to the labor intensity, I work enough for a day to immediately lie in bed and sleep until dawn, I really don't have to suffer that sin again. I cherish my readers, so I'll finish it, but I don't have to update it every day, it's my full attendance that makes me have to update it every day. Someone asked, are you short of this money? I really need that money. My monthly salary is only 2,000 yuan, throwing away the cost of eating, many classmates and friends get married red envelopes, all kinds of love donations, all kinds of blind dates, almost beyond my means, I can have an extra 100 yuan, I can relieve the pressure of 100 yuan, if I can solve these, then the pain of not adding ham sausage to instant noodles cannot be regarded as pain, I can bear it completely.

I'm a dough character, low income, hard work, not handsome, not smart, not smart, and often sneered at by philistines, the reason why I don't get angry is mainly because I'm too busy to work, and I don't have any temper, and the most important thing is that I can live comfortably in the imaginary world built between keyboard tapping, this is my last paradise. Now, Paradise is no longer a paradise, but I'm really relieved. Since I can't be VIP, then forget it, write it in the real sense, this is my wish, my ideal, and my respect for readers. It's just that I really can't update every day for full attendance like I used to, because I'm a busy person, and my brain often can't think normally because of overwork, so even if it's a vacation, take it easy. I will update it from time to time, but I will definitely finish it, this is my guarantee with my personality, this is my masterpiece, I must finish it.

Thinking about the phrase "creation changes life", as well as the poignant history of the self-introduction of many great gods and the admonition to grassroots authors, I think I still have to continue to write. In any case, I am glad that no matter how unsatisfactory life is, there is always a world of writing for the soul to sustenance, and to travel flexibly around childhood and history.

Thank you all and please continue to support us!
