Listing testimonials
It's been one hundred and four days since the book was uploaded on January 18, and it's finally time to put it on the shelves. I don't know if you have this habit, as an old bookworm, what I love to read most is not the novel itself, but the words of some authors, most of these words will be placed in Sanjiang, on the shelf, asking for votes, sealing and pushing, and finishing the testimonial.
Sometimes the great god monthly ticket battle is fierce.,Even if I don't read their book.,I have to find a single chapter to ask for a ticket and read it all over;Newcomers and new books.,Even if you're not interested in the plot.,I must take a look at the testimonials on the shelves.,It's well written and wonderful.,At least there will be the first order support.。
The online literature industry is a circle that is always making progress and always pursuing change and novelty. In this circle, if you want to eat the old book and do not want to forge ahead, you will slowly be abandoned by the times and left far behind; as long as you can lead the new trend, even if it is a cute newcomer, you will inevitably have very good results.
Although I wanted to write a book that could lead the trend, I really didn't have the talent, so I had to put my mind on the shelf testimonial, hoping to write a long shelf testimonial, if I was lucky enough to get good results, I am afraid that the author will soon follow suit, and it can be regarded as leading a wave of trends.
Since it is a long testimonial, as an old bookworm and a new author, I will share with you a little bit of my opinion on this industry at the beginning.
Around 2,000 years ago, online novels began to sprout, and at a speed that no one expected, they grew by leaps and bounds, all the way to today, and have become a wonderful flower in China's cultural industry.
Last year's list of rich writers has just been announced, and Tang Jiasanshao ranked first with last year's royalties of 110 million, far surpassing all traditional writers and becoming the first real Chinese writer in terms of income. And all the people on the list earn more than 10 million a year.
Ten years ago, this would have been unthinkable, and it was rare for authors to earn millions a year.
Nowadays, online writers have become a new profession, and I think in a sense, online writers are just as good as emerging online streamers, and they are examples of professional stardom.
At that time, the great writer Qian Zhong wrote a book, and a lady admired it very much after reading it, and sent a letter across the ocean to meet Qian Zhongshu.
Qian Zhongshu's answer was: "You have eaten very delicious eggs, so why do you have to look at the hens that lay eggs?"
This story is known to many people and will be used in their compositions.
But times have changed, and the writers of those years worked hard to correct and write a masterpiece countless times, and only after all the hard work could they be published and sold in the bookstore, and only a small number of literary and artistic young people could buy it.
Of course, the author of such an era does not need to have much communication with the readers, between them, the author is high, and the readers are admirers and followers, seeking spiritual sustenance.
However, now that we have reached the era of national reading, everyone can read books as long as they are literate, everyone can write books as long as they can write, and anyone can become a reader and an author.
Therefore, in such an era, the writer himself is also a very important resource, and in order to be successful, communication with readers is inevitable.
This is a new fan economy, to put it mildly, piracy is everywhere on the Internet, why should I spend dozens of dollars chasing your book? and even vote, reward, and some people even spend a lot of money to become the leader of the alliance, the gold league?
What's the difference between this and someone who delivers rockets on platforms like Betta and Panda?
That's the fan economy!
I've been using the term "writer" to refer to my profession as an online writer, and the word "writer" is too casual, which is the author's self-deprecation and lack of confidence in himself.
I write books in a dignified manner, and the books I write are still read by my family, by my friends, by my classmates, and even by my 14-year-old niece, who is still in junior high school.
There is nothing to be ashamed of in this profession, and there is nothing unspeakable, online writers must hold their heads high, we are the trendsetters in the tide of emerging industries!
At the same time, readers of online novels, lovely readers, you are not the "** silk" and "otaku" in the eyes of some mainstream media or people with ulterior motives.
Maybe you are a student who relaxes in intense study, maybe you are an urban white-collar worker who is busy and rushing for life, maybe you are a dutiful worker on the production line, maybe you are a construction worker who works hard for your family and children on the construction site, maybe you are a waiter with a smiling face in the restaurant, but you are all dreamers, and you are all dreamers, and you pursue a trace of peace of mind and spiritual relaxation in the majestic and dreamy fantasy literature, which is a form of entertainment, and watching TV series, watching movies, traveling, Listening to a concert is no different.
Elegant and vulgar are not so simple and clear.
The spring and white snow may not be better than the lower riba people, and online literature is by no means a simple lower riba people, it also has a lot of spirit and essence that can shock us and lead us!
At this point, let's put an end to it for the time being, I am just a newcomer who has just firmly embarked on the path of online writer, not the spokesperson of online literature, and I will talk about myself next.
You may not believe it, but my life trajectory is not the same as most people's.
I was born in a small mountain village in the Central Plains in the last summer of the 80s, the youngest child in this large family.
When I was a child, I loved to read, and at the age of four or five I read newspapers and magazines every day. During the summer vacation when I was eight years old and finished the second grade of primary school, my sister thought I was too talented to waste time in primary school, so she asked me to skip a grade.
I didn't go to the third grade, I went to the fourth grade in the first half of the semester, I went to the fifth grade in the second half of the semester, and I became a middle school student in one year.
I went to junior high school at the age of nine, and it was very young at that time, and it was difficult to insist on maintaining concentration in class, so I passed three years in ignorance, including one level, transferred once, and was admitted to high school in 03.
In junior high school, there are two ways for me to enjoy my favorite entertainment, one is to take the breakfast money to go to the Internet café that has just appeared for a long time, play CS, fight the red police, and love to use the People's Liberation Army to throw grenades, sometimes I have no money and stand behind others and watch others fight Diablo for an afternoon.
The second is to read comics and novels, at that time it was still popular to rent bookstores on the streets, which contained a large number of comics of "Conan", "Dragon Ball", "Slam Dunk", as well as the earliest novels closest to online literature, Huang Yi's "Xun Qin", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Rain and Clouds".
The hobby of reading has been deeply rooted in my soul and bone marrow, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.
I went to high school in the third year, and online literature also became popular, "Zichuan", "Mercenary World", "Dream Space", "Heavenly Demon God Tan", "Legend of Little Soldiers", "Magic Apprentice", ......
I had read them all, and the owner of the bookstore at that time would rush over every new batch of books, and pick among the brand-new pirated books that smelled of ink, with a pilgrimage look, as if a drowning person had breathed fresh air.
Soon, I read all the books in the bookstore, some of which I read three or four times. So I started creating, in a hardcover notebook that I bought for five dollars.
I had just written more than 3,000 words, and I was discovered by my homeroom teacher in a self-study class, who was almost 60 years old and read the beginning aloud in the classroom with my notebook, and the classroom was full of laughter, and finally the homeroom teacher smashed the notebook on me.
This was my first time with writing, and it was a very bad memory.
But more than ten years have passed, and I have never given up reading online literature, and I have always wanted to really write an interesting and valuable book. When I am old in the future, it will be my lifelong dream to be able to put on a bookshelf and put my self-published books in my study.
Years of reading have kept a few stories churning in my mind, which are the precipitation accumulated after reading books for so many years, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy.
Before the beginning, I thought about writing about Xianxia, and I thought about writing about the big star stream that has been very popular in the past two years, but I finally chose to write a fantasy book.
Fantasy was once glorious, and the earliest online literature was all fantasy works, with few exceptions. Countless gods have written fantasy, and the fantasy that used to be the type of online text that everyone loves to read.
However, with the cookie-cutter preppy style becoming more and more annoying, and with the prosperity of oriental fantasy represented by "Breaking the Sky", fantasy finally went downhill, staggering and no longer able to rise.
In the past few years, books that can still have good results with fantasy can be roughly divided into three categories.
The first category is the amber stream created by pneumonia, although it belongs to the game classification, although it has a system, but the main plot and chapter is not about games, but about love, hatred and adventure in a real world, which is undoubtedly closer to the fantasy theme.
Good works in this category also include "Lord of the Abyss", "Night Ranger" and so on.
The second category is the wizard stream, the fantasy version of the mortal stream, the earliest wizard stream I haven't seen, but the "Mystery Journey" that rolls away is undoubtedly a very good work, although the second half of the book is a bit of a dog's tail mink.
And several high-subscription titles on the Fantasy Channel, such as "Sorcerers of the Wiccer" and "The Wizard's Journey", are almost all wizard streams.
The third category is "Arcane Throne" written by squid, a scientific stream of magic, but unfortunately it failed to form a genre, and the imitators did not achieve satisfactory results.
I read all of these books carefully before I started writing, and most of the opening parts were analyzed, and there are also many parts in the world structure and realm division that pay tribute to the great gods who walked ahead.
But the core story is my own thoughts, and it is also the part that has settled in my heart after reading so many books over the years, and it is also the story that I really want to write for everyone.
This is not a book that pursues purely commercial writing, and while trying to cater to the reader's preferences and try to write a good story that is popular, I don't want to give up my own insistence, I want to show you a real world with a less mature writing.
Therefore, I did not follow the cycle of setting up suspense - creating pressure - pretending to be forced to slap the face, because of the lack of pen power, the story that is out of the routine looks a little loose, not so compact, and the attraction to the reader is not very strong.
A truly high-level writer can write his own story while making most readers look forward to it, and even scratch their hearts and blood, which is what I lack, and what I want to pursue.
I try to do online articles as a career, I will persevere, I will study hard, and I will not stop moving forward.
The structure of this book is very large, and the parts shown so far are just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many plots that I find excited when I think about it, so I will insist on writing them all and showing them to all readers who like fantasy and love this book.
Therefore, this book will not be eunuch, it will not be unfinished, even if there is only one reader, I will persist in completing this journey, which is a commemoration and tribute to a period of my past ten years.
Finally, let's talk about the achievements and the outlook.
It's about to be put on the shelves.,The number of collections now is 11900.,In recent days, the daily recommendation votes are not very high.,It can be seen that everyone is not interested in the plot of the seabed.。
I will try to write the last part of this plot wonderfully, and I hope that everyone will continue to support me after it is released.
Fantasy is a very mature genre, so much so that too many people are tired of reading it, and none of the books reflected in the fantasy channel can exceed 10:1.
Fantasy is now a very niche genre, but other niche books such as martial arts, history, military, and competitive channels often have 8:1 or even 5:1 subscription ratios, but in the last three years, there has not been a single fantasy.
Without a broad readership and no die-hard fans, this is the sadness of fantasy authors.
According to the current situation of my book, as long as it is not less than 30:1 subscription, you can laugh.
I am not complaining about this, in fact, the more than 300,000 words I have written are not good enough to see the enthusiastic support of everyone.
This is a long novel, the road we are going to take has just begun, and the story of Sivi has just begun, so let's set sail slowly!
VIP should be opened after 12 o'clock tonight. Give it a go, and the bike becomes a motorcycle, so I'm going to break out in May!
Tomorrow, at least update the guaranteed two more on the plus more than 19,000 recommended votes, which is six more.
Other conditions are as follows:
1. 24 hours for every 100 plus one change for the first order. On May Day, if the first order of the first chapter is 300, then add three additional changes, and so on.
2. Commuter pass addition. There are double monthly passes this month, and there are many gods, and I don't have any thoughts about the new book monthly ticket list, but I still want to compete for the fantasy category monthly ticket list. That's why we've added a chapter to our 20 monthly passes in May. The double period is equivalent to 10 monthly passes plus one chapter.
3. Reward and add more. For each more helmsman or above fans, add one more chapter, two chapters of flying red, and five chapters of the alliance leader, which is valid for a long time.
Thank you for your support, and if you think this book is not bad, please be able to contribute even one first order, which is a great encouragement to me!
Finally, let me end this testimonial with a poem that I like very much: "I have a pearl, which has been blocked by dust for a long time. Now the dust is gone, illuminating the rivers and mountains!"
