From the last update to the present, about half a month has passed.

I know, there are some things that I should have come out and explained earlier.

But the frustration is that I haven't figured out a lot of things myself before I explain them to you.

First, let's talk about the reason why it took so long.

How bad the subscription situation of this book is, Xiao Han has already taken out a chapter to talk about it separately before. A few months later, the subscription situation is still not improving, the only difference is that the average number of subscriptions is no longer decreasing linearly, the rate has slowed down a lot, but it is still the same miserable.

However, this is not the main reason why I broke off. You can see it yourself, and although the situation is still miserable, I haven't complained again, or even mentioned it once, after posting that single chapter begging for subscriptions. Because I know that book lovers come to read books for fun, not to listen to the author complain about poverty every day. You don't want to read more about things like that, and I don't want to write more.

The real reason for the break lies in the transfer of work.

Yes, Xiao Han has changed jobs.

From a city where I have lived for many years, to a city on the other side of China.

The living environment has changed, and so has the task and nature of work.

The new job salary is much higher than before, but the amount of tasks is also a lot larger, especially during the new job, there are many new things to learn, leaders and colleagues have become new, and it takes a lot of time to hand them in one by one.

As you move into a new work environment, every step of the way is like walking on thin ice, and you are more cautious and often take more time.

Take the last week, for example, it is common to go to bed after one or two o'clock in the morning, and then get up before seven o'clock in the morning, which really does not leave a little time for the codeword.

I know that, despite this explanation, there are still people who will say in book reviews, hehe, you are so hypocritical, I don't believe that you can't even squeeze out half a month to write a chapter.

Well, that's right, don't talk about writing one chapter, if you really want to fight hard, you can write five chapters.

But I didn't.

Because I really don't want to write.

For a long time, I've been thinking about one question a lot.

Why did I persist in writing such a novel for so long that it was clear that I could no longer pounce and had no value at all?

When I first wrote this book, I was still a newcomer, I didn't know how to write an outline, I didn't know how to arrange cool points, and I didn't even handle the character of the protagonist well, which attracted countless trolls.

But after all this time, I know how much progress I've made. If you open a new book, even if the results will not be too good, it will not be like now, you will work hard every day to get so many hundred dollars. Even if you don't write a book, you can just go out and do odd jobs, it won't be so miserable, right?

I thought about it again and again, and finally found only one explanation.

I'm so afraid I'm sorry for my book friend.

Although the vast majority of people are watching pirated copies, there are indeed a group of book lovers who are willing to pay for subscriptions and even rewards.

I'm not qualified to say how cheap the subscription price is, because no matter how little money is earned, it is someone else's freedom.

But I also want to say that it is also my freedom as an ordinary person to choose whether to continue writing books or not.

When I think that the income of my labor is far less than the value of what I give, I have a reason to terminate it.

I know that when it comes to this, there will be another group of people who want to scold me for having no work ethic, no ethics, and no character as a writer.

Many people think that such doubts are justified, but I think it is ridiculous.

Why?

I still remember when I started writing the book, the plot developed to Ye Bing returning to the old residential area to save Ji Xiaoxiao's family.

I know the "rational" psychology of some of your book friends, so I specially arranged for Ye Bing to use stratagems to eliminate all the suspects, and then lead the other few survivors to escape to safety within the scope of his control.

I thought it would be fine after writing like this.

However, when I saw the next day's book review section, I was completely stunned.

Pieces of scolding, the emotions and content expressed are all one.

The main character is the Virgin and the author is SB.

What's more, even family and friends have to "condole" again.

From then to now, I have deleted no less than a hundred such comments. And that's just at the starting point of the Chinese network. Other places that I don't have permission to manage, the comments are still there.

If you don't believe it, just look for Q/Q book/city, or so-and-so artifact, and just look at the book review. It's all like that.

I don't say this to criticize readers for saying something wrong.

The reader is God, and your requirements are everything, so I'm slowly improving, slowly learning.

In the case that the risk is ruled out to the greatest extent possible, and after that there is no arrangement of any disgusting episodes like "the rescued person bites back", save some old neighbors, old friends can make you scold the Virgin for so long.

So.

I, an ordinary person who doesn't even take care of my own livelihood and family, spend a lot of time and energy for some people I don't know on the Internet, and delay the job I finally found - what do you have to be scolded for?

This TM is even more Holy Mother than Our Lady, and it is the best Holy Queen of Our Lady!

Hehe.

Just kidding.

The tone was a little sarcastic, because he had accumulated too much grievance and anger in his heart all along.

People tend to be like that.

It seems that the requirements of others are not too harsh.

And put it on yourself, a little thing will be bigger than the sky falling.

Many things, if they don't happen to themselves, they will never be able to empathize.

………………………………

After saying so much, the anger was exhausted, and the pot was thrown out.

If you apologize to those loyal readers who have always supported Xiao Han, you can logically announce the suspension of the update.

The reason why I haven't come to give an explanation during this time is also to accumulate courage and hope that I can face reality.

Originally, everything should have gone smoothly, but a variable suddenly appeared.

A girl in the group is also a female administrator in the group.

I have the impression that it was only active at the beginning, and then disappeared for a long time.

But when this break happened, she actually appeared again.

And that's not all.

She began to reward violently and directly grabbed the first position on the fan list.

She began to manage the QQ group in an extreme way, cleaning up a large number of non-bubbling readers, and distributing a large number of red envelopes, hoping to change the mixed ordinary readership group into a gathering place for iron fans. Although some of the governance measures did go too far for me.

She kept calling readers to come and talk to me privately and keep me going.

She said to another manager in the group that if she could get Xiao Han to pick up the pen again, she would do anything.

……

This girl's name is Little June.

Due to the extreme governance of the QQ group in recent days, she has really been scolded a lot. Some young readers, who were angry at Xiao Han's break, also poured their anger on her head.

For a long time, I really hoped she would give up on that. That way, I can have some peace of mind.

But she didn't.

Almost every night, she would talk to me privately and tell me to write down.

So, I thought and thought and thought and thought and thought and thought.

Constant struggle, constant struggle.

In the end, he was defeated.

There are also readers like Little June, and I really can't make up my mind to just stop writing about it.

Because this is no longer an ordinary stranger on the Internet.

It's to support my die-hard fans who are willing to do a lot of uncomfortable things.

This will make me feel guilty in the bottom of my heart, "If I don't write like this, I'm not even as good as a beast."

So, after thinking about it I don't know how many times, I thought about the feasibility of continuing to write.

Yes, indeed.

As I mentioned at the beginning, even if the work is tight and you can squeeze out a few chapters a week, you can still do it.

As you become familiar with your new job and business, you will be more productive, and your free time will be restored.

Therefore, the conclusion of today's explanation is that I have a base for the book at Doomsday and will continue to write it, but the update will be slower.

Take this week as an example, in the next six days, Xiao Han has to participate in a closed training camp, get up at six o'clock every day, and return to his residence at ten o'clock, and then he can't sleep right away, he has to do other work, and it's impossible to want to code words, so he can't update the chapters in five days.

The update speed in the future will certainly not always be the same as now, with only one chapter a week, but it is also unrealistic to update two chapters a day as before.

Ideally, you'll update about three chapters a week.

Well, this number is not definitive either, it is just a speculation, please don't listen to this as a promise.

With that said, that's basically all it takes to say.

I'll keep writing this book, but I'm also going to work on the next one.

For the next book, I already have some plans in mind.

It's the same apocalyptic text, it's the same base text, the difference is, from the setting to the plot arrangement, it will be many times stronger than the current one, and there will not be so many criticized stains and bugs.

It is still unknown when the next book will be released. If it's fast, it's September this year, and if it's slow, it's really uncertain.

When the book is released, it may be changed to the author number and sent it quietly, or it may be slightly publicized in the group with old friends. There is a small chance that the current author number will continue to be used.

I knew that if the next book did start serializing, it would make the already slow progress of the book even slower.

However, please understand you.

I am also an ordinary person and need to take care of my life and my family.

This is the biggest compromise I've ever made with reality.

Thank you to the book friends who are still following Xiao Han until now, whether you are loyal fans or want to see my jokes, they have given me the courage to continue writing.

Thank you also Little June, let me see the touch that I have never been able to see.

It is scheduled to resume the update on the evening of July 17.
