Chapter 118: Comments on the Release of the Product, Actually Just Complaints

This book is finally on the shelves. I actually have a lot to say about this book, but I hesitated for a moment and didn't know where to start. In this case, I will tell you everything bit by bit.

First of all, when I wrote this book, I had just resigned from a job not long ago, not long ago, just in early July.

I am not a new writer. I already have a novel on the shelves, but it is too unpopular, so I won't mention it. But for some reasons, I don't want to give it up, so I have been updating it, but the update frequency is not fast, so I won't mention it.

But I am not the kind of stubborn person. Later, I wrote another fantasy novel. At that time, I just wanted to prove myself. Don't people say that those who can rise to prominence by writing fantasy are real talents?

Okay, then I will try. Unexpectedly, the book was actually signed. It was quite valued at the beginning. It was given a few insignificant PC recommendations, but there was no follow-up.

excuse me? Who cares about PC recommendations?

Who can read novels on the computer now?

As expected, the book didn't get a good recommendation, so I kept writing until 300,000 words, eager to get an APP recommendation, and then there was nothing.

I was very disappointed, very disappointed, a common saying is written here "Novels without recommendations are just like young people without education, and they are not competitive at all"

I believe that all of you are not Internet novices, you should all know that for an online novel, having recommendations is a hundred times or even a thousand times the difference, so simple and clear, simple and crude, you can't help but accept it.

Bow to the editor's power, kneel down devoutly, and tremble.

At that time, I was very irritated, because I spent a lot of effort on that fantasy novel, but the editor ignored it directly. What else can I do except disappointment and discouragement?

Around mid-July, I suddenly wanted to watch "Dragon Ball", and then I wanted to read it from the first Dragon Ball to the current Dragon Ball Super. Let me say here that I think Dragon Ball Super is a rubbish work that destroyed Akira Toriyama's reputation. I saw many Japanese people on Twitter and 2CH saying that instead of having to dwell on the story of Son Goku, it would be fine if Akira Toriyama didn't do that, but he ended up forcing Frieza to KO Son Gohan with one punch after his resurrection. I immediately gave up after seeing it.

This sentence resonated with many Japanese Dragon Ball fans, and of course it resonated with me, because I really gave up after seeing that.

The style of Dragon Ball Super is broken, and the key plot is simply inexplicable. The system of this Dragon Ball world has begun to completely collapse. This is the so-called being trapped in a dead end and unable to get out. Otherwise, why did I say when I was complaining: What I like is not the plot of Dragon Ball, but its world setting.

Well, back to the topic, I found that there was a writing contest in the writer backstage at that time, and one of them was about the second dimension. Since I was already disappointed with your fantasy novel at that time, I just wrote a very sloppy outline of the Dragon Ball story on a whim, and then wrote 2,000 words and submitted it immediately.

I didn't expect that it would be signed in less than three days, and I could even say that the real story hadn't even started to unfold. I was quite surprised by the speed.

Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to say: I never thought that this book could be signed, because I thought that if I didn't apply for a contract after writing 100,000 words, I would immediately abandon it, because 100,000 words would not waste my time for a long time, and I would still go back to continue writing that fantasy novel.

To put it bluntly, although that fantasy novel was not recommended, it had almost 10,000 collections. As long as it was put on the shelves, no matter how bad the performance was, it would be better than the second dimension.

What about the second dimension theme? You may not know that the second dimension theme novel can be put on the shelves with 100,000 words. Why? Because the popularity is low, no one reads it, the consumer market is not big, and the competitiveness is not big, so there is no need to waste 300,000 yuan on the shelves to waste the author.

It is precisely because I know this that my original intention was to wait for a while if I could sign the contract, and immediately put it on the shelves to earn full attendance if I couldn’t get a recommendation, but I found that my book still had hope, so I wrote 200,000 words seriously, but there was no recommendation.

I wanted to try again to see if I could get a recommendation after 300,000 words, but I was furious, completely furious, and the editor ignored me at all, completely ignored me.

I don’t understand it, since you don’t like my book and think that my book is not qualified to be recommended, or your editorial team thinks that my book is not qualified to be recommended, then why did you sign this book, why did you can’t wait to sign it after I updated it for only three days? !

Is it fun to tease others?

So this time I applied for the shelf, I deliberately took the initiative to apply, because I don’t want to waste time.

How popular is this book? Let me put it this way, my fantasy novel has not been updated for more than half a month, and the number of collections is still increasing by nearly 100 every day. Within the first week of updating, I broke through 2,000 collections, and now it is about to reach 10,000.

And what about this book? You can see it when you open QQ Bookstore. It is terrible. This sluggish growth gives me an illusion: Why does China Literature Group specially open a two-dimensional theme? Isn’t this a waste of time? Is it meaningful?

So I can’t waste time anymore. I really can’t afford it because it’s really meaningless.

Some readers will definitely wake up and find that this book is on the shelves, and then angrily ask: "Why is this on the shelves?"

What I want to say is: Yes, that’s right, this book is on the shelves, because according to the current development of the book, it is a waste of time whether it is on the shelves or not. It is better to put it on the shelves sooner. Readers who are willing to read it will naturally continue to read it. Readers who are not willing to read it will naturally continue to read it. A reader, even if you tell him that he can read nearly a hundred chapters for ten yuan, he will still complain to you about poverty, and then either give up or watch pirated copies.

Anyway, it was a surprise to me that this book was originally signed, and everyone knows about its subsequent development. This book has not received a single recommendation until now. It just appeared on the shelves naked. What can I do?

Let me calculate an account for you.

A total of 2,000 subscriptions can bring me 200 yuan in income. Two updates a day, and full attendance in one month is 600 yuan.

Okay, let's happily analyze the commercial value of this book.

First of all, without any recommendation, the book was happily put on the shelves, and then the number of collections was less than 2,000. Calculated according to the normal ratio, among a hundred readers who have collected it, about one person would pay to continue reading... .....Probably......I have heard an author complain in the group before, "I collected 200,000, but in the end there were less than 200 people who paid." "

Let me make a bold estimate. There are probably ten readers of this book who are willing to pay to continue reading.

Well, ten are ten, no matter how bold the person is, how productive the land is, there is nothing wrong with it.

So here’s the problem, this means that I only have ten subscriptions per chapter, and three updates a day means thirty subscriptions. In one month, I have three updates a day, a total of 900 subscriptions. As I said before, 2000 Each subscription can bring about 200 yuan in income. Let’s count it as 1,000 subscriptions a month. There is always rounding.

How much? Just 100 yuan.

Including perfect attendance, 700 yuan. Remember, it’s 700 yuan plus perfect attendance. If you accidentally fail to update on any day, even if you update diligently in the other 29 days, then the 600 yuan is still gone, and there will be less than 200 yuan left. Bring it. What to do?

So, it’s pointless to waste it like this, really.

Just put it on the shelves. Anyway, if you have to support yourself by writing books, you are courting death.

You still have to work, no matter how low a job you are, you can earn 2,000 a month, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be 9 hours. Maybe you can earn more than 3,000 a month if you work shifts. What do you think? Let’s see, even if this book is on the shelves, how much benefit will it bring to me?

The answer is: basically no benefit.

My family introduced me to a reliable job that could earn me more than 4,000 yuan a month, and it also included food and accommodation. Why should I feel bad about a book?

The words are so straightforward, which also shows that I am indeed powerless. The battlefield of online literature is so cruel. Authors are really a vulnerable group, and most readers are unwilling to read the original version. Tell me, how many people can you support with royalties?

Just put it on the shelves. Those who are willing to follow this book, please wait and see. At least I will seriously write out all the subsequent stories.

Friends who don't want to watch it, please feel free to do so, I won't hold you back. I don't have the skills of a great god, but at least let me be a little free and easy like a great god.

Charges start with the next chapter and that's it. To give the editor a big favor, let’s do five updates today.
