Comments From Late at Night on the Launch
“The recommendation promotion failed, put it on the shelves. Google search reading”
This was a message that the editor suddenly sent me yesterday afternoon when I was typing.
To be honest, I was quite sad when I saw this sentence.
Because I had communicated with the editor originally, saying that there was still hope for the sixth frequency (that is, the recommendation that broke out of the category).
But in the end, my data was not good and the promotion failed.
Then it was put on the shelves at 12 noon today.
I thought the recommendation of this book could go a step further, but it has come to this point...
I stopped writing and adjusted for an hour or two, summarizing my experience of writing a book this month... Oh, let's say something happy!
In fact, I wrote the book for the full attendance of 1500 on Qidian.
This money is not much, but my daughter will go to kindergarten in the second half of the year. 1500 can still subsidize the monthly tuition and reduce the burden on my husband, right?
Then I wrote the article and submitted it.
Then my manuscript was rejected.
My husband said forget it, if I have time and interest, I can do something else. I write 4000 words a day for online articles, and I can rest for a day on 996.
Besides, online writing is also a product of the last era.
But I still wanted to write at that time.
And I didn't lose heart.
It doesn't matter if the manuscript is rejected, just learn it.
So I lurked in the writer forum, Longkong, for half a year, and learned how to write online articles there every day.
(Although I was watching them fight more often!)
Then I followed their experience and read many books on the next station that had good performance at the beginning.
Why is it the next station? Because according to many examples, the style of the next station is universal. As for the starting point, the ranking masters have their own style, which is hard to learn and not easy to learn.
Then what should I say.
My book has a very rough studio title, the highest level gold finger at the beginning, and the chat room element that is only responsible for shouting 666.
Of course, these have been criticized by everyone.
But this made my internal submission very smooth, without changing a word, and the manuscript was directly passed and signed.
Next, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
But the bigger problem came.
I didn't continue to stick to the style of the next station.
I started to let myself go when I wrote about the seventh chapter, when the Moon Shadow Potion appeared.
I was in a very good mood at the time, thinking that no one would read it anyway, so I might as well write something I wanted to write.
Then I went all the way to the weird, the anti-system, and the messy settings.
Actually, these things were originally there, but according to the writing style of the next station, these things are secondary, and they are all used for the protagonist to show off.
The setting is not important, the protagonist showing off is important.
But in the end, as I wrote, I put the cart before the horse and the title.
When everyone sees the title, they instinctively think that it is a brainless and exciting book written by a studio.
Readers who like this type of book really clicked to read a few chapters, and then they thought what is this, the more you write, the weirder it gets, and they gave up!
Then readers who like to focus on the story will not click in at all when they see this kind of title.
So now, there are many collections but few follow-up readers, probably because of this reason.
There is no way, or I am twisted in writing.
As for changing the title, since I have signed the contract, it is troublesome to change the title, and there is a high possibility that some readers will be lost.
I really don't dare to take this risk, because it costs hundreds of thousands of words a month, oh...
After all, it is the first time I officially write a book (the last one does not count, that was a temporary idea, and I abandoned it after the idea was written and there was no follow-up)
There are still too many shortcomings in writing a book for the first time, not just the problem of twisting.
In the past month of serialization, I have really learned a lot and understood my own shortcomings.
Here, I want to thank my editor and thank you all.
Thank you to every reader who commented, and every reader who voted for rewards.
Thank you all very much.
Then let's talk about the source of inspiration and settings for this book.
95% of the inspiration and settings come from World of Warcraft.
Because I, the author, have actually been a World of Warcraft player for ten years.
From the Burning Crusade, I have been playing all the way to Legion.
Basically, it starts from Illidan and ends with Illidan.
There is no way, I can't do it anymore.
Of course, when I played the nostalgic server, I still "helped me up" and played it again.
But in the end, there were still too many trivial things in life, and I really couldn't play it anymore.
Ten years, it should be ten years, I think World of Warcraft will be the game I have played for the longest time.
So many settings, I instinctively think of that, such as Shia.
I saw a reader's post saying Onyxia.
Indeed, the initial inspiration was her.
There is no way, this black dragon princess is really my resentment.
Since I was able to solo Onyxia's lair, until the day when I couldn't play it anymore, I went to play her once a week because she dropped a mount.
However, for so many years, she just didn't come out.
It's true that the black dragon abused me thousands of times, and I didn't treat the princess well.
After all, I killed her 4 times a month, and killed her in a year...
Damn, it's all tears when I talk about it.
But then again, Shia and Onyxia in the book only have the same name and race, and everything else is different.
In fact, it's just a source of inspiration due to resentment.
Finally, let me talk about why I write about men's channels.
This probably starts with the TV series I watched when I was a child.
The author was born in 1989. When I was a child, the TV programs I watched were basically all masculine, and the male protagonists were all male. It was not like now, when there are female dramas.
At that time, in addition to the four great classics, the TV was also broadcast by Jin Yong and Gu Long.
When I was very young, I also wore a bed sheet, took my mother's clothesline, and pretended to be a hero.
But because I was an only child, I had to play the role of a sword-wielding hero and a knife-wielding green forest hero.
The lines were always, "I planted this tree, I opened this road... and the bold thief..."
As for the victory or defeat of the two sides, it usually depends on what drama is broadcast on the TV station recently.
If it is Water Margin, then the green forest hero wins.
If it is Jin Yong, then the hero wins.
Oh, I'm getting off topic.
Anyway, the TV dramas I watched when I was a child and the novels I read later were almost all male-oriented, so when I wrote books, the first thing I thought of was male-oriented.
This actually has nothing to do with gender.
I also hope that everyone will not discriminate against female authors who write for male audiences.
Finally, let me talk about the book. Don't worry, it must be a refreshing story. This is the tone.
Because I don't like the story with a bitter and vengeful story, a malicious stock speculation, and a dead heroine. Yes, I'm talking about Zhu Xian.
I won't mention it. This book hurts me too much.
Finally, I still hope that everyone can give a first order.
No matter where you go to read it later or how you read it, I still hope that you can give a first order.
I won't maliciously make you spend more Qidian coins. The first chapter is more than 2,000 words, which should be the minimum subscription point.
So I still hope that everyone who can see this will give a first order before leaving.
Well, although I implied the freeloaders in the first few chapters, in fact, if you think about the plot, I didn't leave any side behind.
The madam who scolded the girl, the girl who dared not say a word...
Well, there are only a few things that everyone knows.
We are all workers who need to eat, and it's not easy.
By the way, about the plot of the book, because it was put on the shelves very suddenly, there is no so-called plot jam.
But the next few chapters will indeed be a closure with a big thrill.
And I saw a comment saying that the foreshadowing is messy, this should be because I dragged it out for a long time, sometimes people forget it while reading.
(It is indeed my fault, the problem of rhythm.)
So after the end of one volume, I will sort it out and summarize it, and hope that people will still read it at that time.
Emmm, because it was put on the shelves at a short notice, I also have to take care of children on weekdays, so this thank you was written at 2 am.
My head is a mess, I wrote whatever I thought of, and it was a mess.
Please forgive me.
According to the editor, the VIP chapter can be uploaded at 12 noon today.
So the first chapter will probably be a few minutes after 12 o'clock. At that time, I hope everyone can give the first order. Thank you very much.
Thank you to all the readers who have been with me all the way, thank you again!
