2024 New Year's Greetings: Building on the Past and Forging Ahead into the Future
Happy New Year to everyone!
During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, did you eat and sleep well and have fun?
I wish you all good health, prosperity, happiness, academic success, career harvest, smooth love, happy family, and a fortune in the new year~~~!!
It's the beginning of the year, a few more gossip. Pulling the little tail at the end of 2023, "Immortals" finally got the badge with an average order of more than 10,000, which can be regarded as a small end to 2023.
It may be easy for other authors, but it is not easy for the low-opening book "Immortals", because the order is all the way up from 181 when it hit the shelves in September 2022.
When I used to write books, I didn't know anyone cared about this, but I finally got it, right?
At the end of 2022, we completed the average order of 3000; By the end of 2023, we have completed the average order of 10,000;
So ...... late 2024?
It's worth looking forward to.
In addition, at the suggestion of the editor, we also merged the pen names, and since then I have been in the limelight again.
In 2014, as a newcomer, I opened a book in Yuanpin, worked hard, and slowly mixed up the results; In 2022, Jiu Fangye will open a book online as a newcomer, work hard, and slowly mix up the results.
I wrote a book for ten years, and it was another reincarnation in a trance.
Let's talk about our 2023:
In the book, Brother Chuan found himself, found his direction, blew up the Heavenly Palace, pitted Naluo, and ended the complicated relationship between the He family, and finally established his own power in the cracks, laying the foundation for the grand development of the new year;
Outside the book, we buried the most pits and hidden the deepest lines, preset the burden for the big outbreak of contradictions in the back, and tried to ensure that once the explosion was a serial cannon. Shui Yun was worried that the embedded thread would take too long, and he was afraid that the book would not survive when it broke out.
OK. Thankfully, you gave it plenty of time and patience. Now that the deepest foreshadowing is basically laid out, everything is moving in the right direction.
In 2024, Brother Chuan will uncover the secrets of Yuanli for us, uncover the secrets of the gods/demons, uncover the secrets of the passing of immortals, and uncover the secrets of the Dafang Pot.
Every time a secret is discovered, the origin of the world will be greatly revealed, and contradictions and disputes will arise. As more and more secrets are revealed, the story will melt like ice, revealing the true core inside.
Some book friends have always reported that the main line and focus of "Immortals" have always been plausible, half-dark and half-bright, and unclear. First of all, I would like to say sorry to everyone, because this was intentional by the author.
After ten years of pen work, I certainly know the benefits of a clear main line, including my own old books; But "Immortals" is different, we have greater ambitions.
Lao Tzu said, the Tao is the way, the very way.
The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say.
Don't you want to talk about it? It is impossible to say. The theme of this book is too thick and too close to reality, and there is no way to make it clear.
Just to mention one of them:
There are so many truths in this world, and it is useless for others to indoctrinate them, and you must understand them yourself.
He Lingchuan, the protagonist of the book, is like this, overcoming obstacles in the fog, from dazed to determined, from aimless to unswerving;
The world outside the book has always been plausible, half-dark, half-bright, and unclear, how many people can say that they were born to know the main line of life?
We must also cut through the fog to find the direction of our efforts and the meaning of life.
Only by finding the direction and moving forward firmly can we make a difference.
The year 2024 has arrived, and the stories in the book will advance layer by layer and gradually become more and more round.
I hope that outside the book, we can also go higher step by step and move towards a more wonderful life.
In the new year, let's work together and witness together!
