This is the end of 2023, thank you all for being with us this year.

Let's start with a report on the results.

So far, our average order is more than 57,000.

It rose by 12,000 in December, which is not as exaggerated as the 20,000 increase last month, after all, the base is up, and it is quite fierce.

In two months, it rose by 32,000 per order, which is very good.

Thank you to every reader who supports the genuine version, thank you.

The total number of our readership is actually still small, and the collection has just exceeded 500,000, and the overall traffic is not very high, and the main food is only the traffic of the monthly ticket list in the past two months.

For a book with more than one million words, the ratio of collection to average subscription is still 9:1, which is quite impressive.

Don't rush, take your time, I continue to write carefully, and it will definitely be better.

After the results report, let's talk about this year's writing journey.

Writing in December is very stressful, people are a little tight, and this month's update time is very shady, and writing until one or two o'clock in the evening is commonplace.

There were two things that made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I even began to wonder if I had chosen the wrong path.

The first is the plot of Lin Lu's confession.

After writing it, a bunch of people scolded the title party, and saw a lot of abuse in the background, and many people said that it was not a confession, thinking that "I like you" was.

I didn't go to bed until half past four that day.

I began to think, the confession of the four words "I like you" is something I wanted to avoid from the beginning, because I think it is too simple, anyone can write it, what is so strange about these words? Isn't that something anyone can write about?

I've been keeping myself writing with a certain level of difficulty, and sometimes I think about a simple sentence, and I'll think about it for hours to determine the impact of that sentence.

The last sentence at the end of many of my chapters sometimes takes a long time to write.

There is no doubt that this book is a harem text.

There are many female characters, and many emotional links are afraid of repetition.

So I'm not destined to write anything "I like you", so many women, all write like this, do you like to read it?

The confession requirements I set for myself are different.

Lin Lu's confession, I will write in the direction of eccentricity, because this is part of her personality.

Like Chen Jieyu's confession, it seems that it was not written, but it was actually written.

In chapter 235, it was Chen Jieyu who had low self-esteem and self-esteem and told Cheng Zhu, it's not that I don't want to pay you back, but this topic is too sensitive, and in the end, Cheng Zhu's solution is to say teasingly: "So it's hard to say that you like me?" ”

Chen Jieyu didn't answer, but she finally took the initiative to answer with her own actions in the homestay.

She broke free from the shackles of identity, this is Chen Jieyu's silent confession, and it is also in line with the personality.

Many times, I always think that once the characters are set, then, many times, the plot is not even the author's final say.

Because they are alive, before you write, you have to arrange some plots according to these people, not that you can laugh at will.

It's like someone in the group asked me before, why did Ning Bao steal the house, she and Cheng Zhu blew the evening breeze first, and she and Cheng Zhu kissed first?

Because her character is tsundere.

So it has to be her first, so it makes sense.

If she hadn't come first, then nothing would have happened.

There will be no evening breeze, no kissing.

On the whole, if you want to write a good essay, it is actually really tiring and complicated.

This book took more effort than all my previous books combined.

I hope that when you make a request for a plot, you can ask me to make some higher requirements, not lower, such as asking me to write the four simple words "I like you".

Another example is the last chapter at the end of the year, the title is to be with me for the rest of my life.

There are also quite a few people who say that the title party makes me ponder again.

Because I think that letting the Shen family participate in pomelo tea, such a plot arrangement is already obvious, and the means are almost similes.

The Shen family couldn't get off the chariot, and Shen Qingning was naturally among them.

I wanted to write a little bit more realistically, and that's what I felt: to be together all this life.

This is an obvious plot trend, and I didn't expect that I still need to explain a few sentences.

Such a lifetime together is actually a service for people.

Seriously, if I were given another chance to do it all over again, I would probably be hesitant to write a harem essay.

Especially this type of harem text.

This kind of book, which is jokingly called a memoir and a textbook by readers, is indeed tiring to write, but also has a lot of constraints.

Of course, I believe that I can write better in 2024, because there are still many good plots to come, and many character arcs have not yet appeared.

Then, it seems that the New Year's Day is also a double monthly pass, and I hope you will continue to support me.

Our exposure is really only the monthly ticket list, and there is really nothing else.

In the end, the operating officers asked me to open another monthly pass raffle.

The prizes are similar to the last time, and as long as you have voted for them, you will automatically participate in the lottery.

When: January 1 to January 7.

The first prize is a cash red envelope of 666.

The second prize is still to draw 30 sets of mysterious new products [Insist on Visiting], and single readers can replace them with products for their own use.

The third prize, 50 direct 66 red envelopes.

Above, ask for a double monthly pass!
