Chapter 75 Happy New Year! And, My Thoughts on the Release!
First of all, I wish you all a happy New Year!
After more than a month of ups and downs, the first book of Mengxin is finally going to be put on the shelves!
The time of the release is 21:00 today (January 1st). After the release, there will be at least three chapters every day, and the number of words will be a little more, about 6,000 to 10,000 updates every day.
My current speed is about one chapter in more than four hours, and the daily limit is a little more than three chapters.
So, I can accumulate a chapter in about one or two days, or two or three days, and then I will add a chapter!
I have been working hard on the speed of typing!
…
Then I will talk about the book, and those who are too lazy to read can skip it.
Mengxin’s first book has many shortcomings. Thank you for your criticism and correction!
The first problem is the setting. I actually put a lot of effort into the setting. The various documents should add up to 100,000 words, and the world view is a complete closed loop.
The first difficulty I encountered also came from here.
Whether it is the world view or other settings, if a long list of words is released at once, it will be like an instruction manual, which will be very dry and boring.
I want to express the settings in the most concise words.
The problem comes with it: often one or two sentences can get me stuck for a long time.
(That's how I wrote the chapter that took nine hours)
Fortunately, as my hair is falling every day, I have gradually overcome this problem.
The second is the structure problem.
In chapters 58-59, more than half of the content is equipment introduction, which is boring.
I apologize to the readers for this!
Then, come back to analyze the problem.
The problem is that I unconsciously piled up too many gains together, resulting in a whole chapter of introductions to various equipment and items, without any substantial plot.
This is a structural error. Once you step on the pit, it will not appear again in the future!
Finally, there is the data problem.
Let me report to the masters first. The word count rule of Qidian is [connected numbers, letters, and special symbols are counted as one character].
For example, the string "20231231/20240101+1024" is actually counted as one word, so you don't have to worry about it!
Then there is the panel.
Due to some mysterious waterproof power, the panel will not appear for a long time after the book is put on the shelves.
But don't worry, I have all the data and rewards, and there is a special folder for this, so I won't miss it!
...
After talking about the book, it's time to thank you!
Thank you editor Good Luck for giving Xiao Mengxin a chance to be put on the shelves and answering all kinds of questions tirelessly.
Thank you for colliding with my keyboard 8,000 times a day.
And thank you to every reader who has seen this.
Thank you new readers for watching.
Thank you old readers for your company along the way.
Thank you to every reader for your recommendation votes, monthly votes, and rewards.
Thank you for reading my novel.
...
After the rambling, I am actually a little ashamed.
When I started the book, I saved 10 chapters of the manuscript, and I was going to put it on the shelves for the burst.
But something went wrong in the middle.
Those who have been following along should remember that the updates were particularly unstable from December 20th.
I overused my eyes and had some problems with them.
Since then, I have been at a loss. I have no more drafts to save and can only write and post one chapter at a time.
But for me, it is not a big problem.
You can read it for fun. I can write 1234 hours a day to make a living. I will try my best to update it!
Having said so much, it is almost time to wrap it up.
Let me repeat the updates.
After the release, at least three chapters will be updated every day.
Irregular updates will be added depending on how many days I can accumulate a chapter.
Finally.
Happy 2024 and Happy New Year.
And, thank you for reading my novel.
