Written at the end of 2017

2017 is finally coming to an end, so I have a few casual words with readers and friends. Anyway, those who can see this should be my loyal readers, and Xuan Lan is here to express my deep gratitude to each and every one of you for your support!

I have a lot of thoughts and I don't know where to start, so I think of what to say.

The book began to be serialized on May 8 this year, and was officially released on September 8, which lasted four months.

As a complete newcomer, I don't even know what PK is, and my editor-in-charge is also quite cold, asking him if I started PK?

So, I've been trying to update it ever since. Now after a long time, I know that although my editor-in-charge is cold, he has always been very helpful to me. For example, the editor strongly recommends putting me first and quietly giving me a stream of information. Then recommend them one after the other for free.

When I put it on the shelves, it was 620,000 words. I asked an experienced writer, and I might have won at least 3~4 rounds of PK. It's very gratifying for a budding newcomer. At that time, there were also 52,000 collections, and many people in the group complimented me a lot after reading it. I said that the first day of subscription on the shelf must exceed 1,000, and there should be 300~400 if there is no 500 subscriptions. Put what I'm talking about.

As a result, I was hit on the first day I hit the shelves.

The result of 16 more is just an average subscription of 99 plus a subscription of just over 1000 on the same day.

Some people read it and said, "Cut it!" This result is too poor and has no future.

Some people sighed when they saw it, the collection of creation is really water.

Some people also encouraged to write it down and read it in a week, after all, you are a newcomer, and the 1 million words of the fantasy text are just the beginning.

So, I started to work hard to update it after it was put on the shelves.

It's a pity that what followed was an increasingly dismal result. The highest average subscription is only 120, and the daily subscription is about 300. This achievement, in the few groups I added, either ended hastily or directly as a eunuch. Because there's no need to write it down at all. And when people ask about me, I'm embarrassed to tell me about it.

As you can imagine, there are fewer recommendations. The free period of recommendation after one is gone, and it is replaced by once a month like a great aunt. And in November, my aunt didn't come, so I guess I was pregnant!

The editor in charge there, the signature always reads "Update well, don't ask for recommendations". So, I fell into darkness and confusion. The average order has been falling, and the worst time for the daily increase is 79. On that day, I watched three times, and the number of words also exceeded 1.2 million, but there was still no improvement.

If there are more than 600,000 words, some people will choose to insist, but at this time there is still no improvement, and almost all will choose to give up. Because, there is no hope at all.

In addition, at the end of the year, December is the busiest month, with all kinds of summaries and reports driving people crazy. There are also children in the family, as a conscientious father, there is very little time left for writing.

As a result, the manuscript was gradually sold out, and December also changed from the original 3 changes a day to 2 changes. It's a bit frustrating.

During this time, I had a friend who was always encouraging. As a person who has come over, he has always advised me that no matter how difficult it is, at least this book must be finished normally, and it must not end hastily or even become a eunuch. When the first book is written, write the second one.

I smiled wryly, according to my original outline, it was over normally...... I'm afraid it will cost more than 5 million words. This will be until the Year of the Monkey!

However, he enlightened me with his own personal experience. Eventually, I decided to write it down. Even if the order continues to fall, I will write it down. Because, there are new subscriptions every day, which means that someone is watching, someone is chasing, and they must always be held responsible.

I don't know if it's God's way to reward hard work, but on Christmas Day, I received a good recommendation called "Today's Spike". I believe that there are many readers who also collect this book through that recommendation, right?

I still remember how it felt like I was given a new lease of life. Collections have skyrocketed, and subscriptions have skyrocketed. In the end, the next day, I saw the statistics, the collection added nearly 6,800, and the subscription added 1,012.

This achievement is already extremely fantastic for me to hit the street in the street.

I thought there would be at least a big leap forward in my results. But then the reality that came with it knocked me back to the ground. Although the new additions are a bit better than before, they are still extremely bleak.

Probably, my article is indeed not well written! So, some of them have failed to live up to the recommendations of the editor-in-charge. However, at least for now, I still think in my heart that I hope to finish the book normally, and I don't want to rush things up. At the very least, there is an account for those readers.

Okay, just complain a few words, and continue to go back to the codeword. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, I wish you all a happy New Year's Day. All wishes come true in the new year, and all the best. Of course, if I can, I hope that everyone will give me more support tomorrow, or next year. Tickets, subscriptions, tips, messages, all are available. With your support, I will be even more motivated. Thank!
