When I wrote this, Lao Chen couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

It's over!

How would I describe how I felt along the way?

There are only two words, pain.

This book is really the hardest and most painful book I have ever written.

It's like sugar cane hasn't grown well, it's already dry, it's full of fiber, it's not sweet, and it's still chewy.

I gnawed on it until my mouth was full of blood, and I didn't even spit out the dregs, so I had to swallow it in my stomach, which was so painful!!

Looking back at the beginning of this book, in fact, I just wanted to follow the trend and write about treacherous themes, and before the book opened, there was a relatively large world view, and various copies were also set up.

As a result, after I really started, I found that all kinds of fragments were not reflected, coupled with the achievements on the street, the technology was deformed, a lot of foreshadowing was not done, and the atmosphere was not set off well.

At that time, it also happened to coincide with the reform of the recommendation mechanism, and I attached great importance to the follow-up, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, I was in isolation before and after the shelves, and I was uncertain......

Under the influence of many factors, it completely hit the street.

At that time, the book was only 300,000 words, and I was already faced with the choice of whether to swing a knife from the palace on the spot, cut the book and open it again.

As a result, my brain twitched, and I made a decision that violated the professional standards, that is, regardless of the grades, write it down and give it a try. (At that time, there was still a rule, maybe there was salvation)

Even in order to support the continued writing of this book, he chose to open it double, that is, to try another theme, the book "Arcane Linguist".

Looking back now, I actually regret it.

Such a choice is very unprofessional, and it also means that I did have too much amateur mentality at that time.

Shuangkai wrote more than 1 million words (the two books have a total of 2 million words), and there was no improvement in the slightest, but it brought down "Arcane Linguist", and almost the whole person was numb, and he insisted on holding on to the idea of "I must finish it".

For the whole year of 2023, I was completely unemployed and began to struggle financially.

Fortunately, with the help of my father, I simply paid off the mortgage in advance, which reduced the pressure of the mortgage and residual interest, and gave me great freedom, so that I was able to grit my teeth and continue to write this book.

Looking back on my online writing industry, it should actually be quite early to enter the industry, the earliest should be traced back to 18 years ago, that is, in 06 years, I wrote some things about playing tickets, and I began to sign contracts and put them on the shelves in 08, stepping into the edge of professional writing.

At that time, I still wrote in another vest, and this number has lasted for more than ten years, and it is only a small number (although it slowly becomes a large one later).

In that era when online literature was in its infancy, it was far from being as involuted as it is now.

All kinds of themes have not yet been excavated.

We can be said to be the first group of people to excavate various off-the-beaten-path themes outside the mainstream, including refining weapons and sects.

At that time, there were even satisfactory results.

This successful experience directly led to my later choice.

When I was 11 years old, I had only stepped out of campus for a few years, and I had a serious illness, interrupted writing, and then faced the choice of life and career.

Over the years, I have personally experienced all kinds of online literature industry, and the biggest feeling is that the times are changing, every three or five years, different trends, and the readership group is also rapidly updated.

This is very much related to campus life and the years when I first stepped out of society, and among my current book friends, there may be some old friends from many years ago, but it is indeed a visible decrease.

Since I haven't studied and improved much, and I haven't kept up with the times, my grades have collapsed, so I can only rely on a book called "Daqizong", which is acceptable for part-time part-time jobs.

Because I suffered from diabetes as soon as I stepped out of campus, it was not ideal in terms of public examination and mate selection, and for many years, I didn't think much about being motivated, and I broke off the idea of working hard in a first-tier city early.

I returned to my hometown in the years when I wrote "Daqizong", bought a house and settled down, and practiced the salted fish life of lying flat with practical actions.

This experience and the actual conditions affect his character to a greater or lesser extent, as well as the temperament of the book.

Ask me to write about what kind of youthful spirit, bloody fighting, careful power schemes, and changing my life against the sky, I always feel that it is not like that.

What's worse is that after years of lying flat, my sharpness has been smoothed out, and I have paid less attention to the progress of information in the online literature industry and various writing skills.

A lot of things are ignorant, and I realize it later.

In the end, I suddenly realized that I had been writing books by instinct and aimlessly.

This is a nice thing to say, it is called casual freedom, but in fact, it is very disrespectful of objective laws and does not follow the rules of the market.

After all these years of writing, it is still at this level, and this is the return of reality.

But, anyway, it's finally over!

As I was writing this book, I realized that I had hit the streets.

I'm going to use this book as my new starting point (the Arcane book doesn't count, its mission is to continue my online life and make some money to spend the first half of 2023, so I don't write painfully) and really start from scratch.

And for this book, the only self-requirement is to finish it, be down-to-earth, and do your best to finish it.

I once said when chatting with my group friends in the group that starting from 300,000 words and covering more than 1 million words, it is a matter of thought to want eunuchs to cut books at any time.

But if I really do that, it means that my Dao heart is broken.

I will fall completely in the darkness and confusion.

It's easier to give up than to persevere, friends.

Only friends who have experienced some difficulties and even desperate situations will understand that sometimes, when they let go of a certain breath, they can never be lifted again.

If I cut out this book, I would no longer be in a position to make all kinds of promises to book friends, and I would not have the heart to continue writing novels.

I didn't want to really fall like that, so I could only grit my teeth, close my eyes, and move on desperately.

My reason tells me that these choices are definitely not professional, and the benefits in all aspects are also at a loss, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is a power generation with love, and it is never an exaggeration to write a book at a loss.

Take the simplest money full attendance as an example, there is no double opening directly.

The time and energy involved after that, no matter what you do, is more economically valuable than continuing to write a book that has clearly hit the streets.

I wrote it entirely as a manifestation of my own Dao heart.

In the end, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts and persevered step by step, even if he was a marathon, he would eventually be able to reach the finish line.

Finally, today, in 2024, after more than a year, it is finally finished! It's time to end the painful days of double opening completely! It's so fucking comfortable!! I'm finally liberated and free!!

In all fairness, this book has already begun to collapse when it reaches hundreds of thousands of words, and it has been opened for a long time, which has led to a mess of the whole person's brain, and the aimless blind Gil scribbles through, and the plot, characters, and cool points are completely gone.

I have already exhausted my talents, and the oil has run out, and the ending that has been boiled up like this is written in a state of exhaustion, and I myself am actually quite helpless.

The only thing that is enough to be worthy of self-comfort is to keep the Dao heart and be worthy of yourself.

As for whether it is worthy of everyone, that is everyone's evaluation.

Friends who have been following it may be able to accept it, but the grades are quite poor, and I am very sad......

I just want to say that this is my own awkward self-inflicted, and if you have friends who also write novels, don't learn it, it doesn't make much sense.

Fortunately, after such a ordeal and training, I did have a sense of self-sublimation, and I was ready to start trying to demand myself with a professional level, and to carry out more in-depth conception and pondering of the new book, rather than just superficial understanding.

My next plan is to finish the book "Arcane Linguist" in a down-to-earth manner, and complete the tooth extraction during this period (diabetics are not very easy to do, you have to check multiple times to find a chance to control your blood sugar), and at the same time, take a good and real rest for a while.

Please pay attention to my transition book, "Arcane Linguist", please look forward to my new work that is still in the process of being conceived, if you have any comments and suggestions, please feel free to talk to me (comments in the group or in the book are fine, but it is usually in the group to facilitate communication).
