Chapter 466: There Is Still Room for Maneuver
"Brother Pu Jie? Are you home?"
"Why can't I get through to you? Are you there?"
"Huh? What's that thing on the sofa?"
He Mi walked into Pu Jie's house in a hot miniskirt and saw a ball of quilt on the sofa, still trembling slightly.
She walked over curiously and lifted it up
"Wow! Brother Pu Jie, why are you practicing meat bomb impact here?"
Pu Jie opened his eyes and looked at the dark sky outside, and his mood calmed down a little.
"It's already night, I just fell asleep."
Pu Jie sat up from the sofa, but still wrapped the quilt around himself, otherwise he always felt cold on his back.
Maybe this is an occupational disease.
Occupational backstabbing.
He Mi came to find him to go out and play, but Pu Jie had no intention of playing at this time. After giving the BMW to He Mi, Pu Jie sat on his coding workbench and began to summarize and look forward.
After confirming it several times again, Pu Jie finally admitted the first order number of 12,000.
Exaggerated!
"I never expected that this book could achieve such a high number of first orders in China, even on the Qidian main site! Fantasy channel, it is rare in history!"
"Am I better than them?"
Pu Jie thought for a while and said, "Yes, I did write well."
"But... I have a lot of malice towards readers!!! I have written a white-skinned protagonist, how can you still read it? Damn it!"
"And if there are these first orders on Qidian, I will accept it! But this is Zhongshan Novel! I personally watched the white-skinned writers grow up in the gathering place. Before my book, I have never seen a fantasy novel on the ranking list!"
Without the soil for fantasy to grow, why would anyone pay for it?
"Damn it! It actually... It actually brought such a big impact, Yang Mimi, you are really amazing!"
Pu Jie decided that Yang Mimi would have to pay the price!
After reading it online for a long time, and then staying in his own comment area and backstage messages for a long time, Pu Jie roughly figured out how the 12,000 first orders came from.
"There are 3,000 people on this website, and there are also several thousand old readers who came to support the website. The rest are just spectators who watch the press conference and hot searches, and then it becomes like this."
A good start turns into a catastrophe!
Pu Jie glanced at the system background and saw the highest average subscription limit for this task: 30,000, which has exceeded 1/3 of the progress bar.
As long as this progress bar is full, his special task will fail completely!
His new module "Internet Literature Technology" will also disappear.
"Damn it! I have to complete this special task! What if I can't complete it this time and there is no more in the future?"
With the word "technology", it sounds awesome!
This is definitely an unbearable failure!
"But. If this first subscription result continues to be serialized, how can I ensure that the final average subscription will not reach 30,000?"
This is a problem.
While thinking, Pu Jie published the manuscript he had written yesterday, and updated 3 chapters, more than 9,000 words.
"Nowadays, there are more details in the writing, and the number of words in each chapter has to be increased, otherwise it will seem that there is nothing substantial in a chapter. It would be stupid if the small events could not be written completely."
Many readers criticize a certain author for having too little content in a chapter, only 2,000 words. In fact, there is an advantage to writing like this, that is, the fast pace, one chapter tells one thing, and the plot advances faster. If the number of words in a chapter is too many, it will be hard to resist the water.
Take a look at the Eagle in the previous life, each chapter has at least 5,000 words, but after reading it, I feel that the content is just that.
In fact, it is written in detail, and readers can feel more involved, which must be accompanied by a large number of updates to stabilize.
So, if the author updates less, try to arrange the chapter plot more compactly and faster, so that readers will feel more comfortable. If the number of words in the update is more, then the detailed description can be made, so that readers can also accept it.
But what is taboo is that the update is few, the pace is slow, and the procrastination is slow. In that case, readers will read 2 chapters a day, which are all water, and they will directly wear a mask of pain!
Pu Jie's "Lord of Fools" is written in detail, with slightly more updates, and the level that readers can accept.
"In this way, I won't have any problems later, and this is the biggest problem."
Now that the situation has become like this, Pu Jie has to find a way to save himself.
"Then try to change the update strategy! Break down the content in the future into small chapters, 2,000 words per chapter, and then release more chapters, so that each chapter will appear to be very watery, and at the same time, the data will decrease!"
The average subscription data refers to the total number of subscriptions/number of paid chapters.
The more paid chapters there are, the lower this data will be.
The paid chapters of an online article often have the highest subscriptions in the first part of the shelves. The subscriptions will be lower as time goes on, and the gap will gradually widen by several times. Therefore, some mature online writers have small tricks to increase the average subscription.
When the articles are put on the shelves, small chapters are updated! Write 5 chapters a day and update 10,000 words.
In the later stage, when you want to improve the average subscription, update 2 chapters a day, which is also 10,000 words.
The number of updated words remains unchanged, but the average subscription will be significantly improved.
Whether it is the bid for selling copyright or the recommendation by the editor, they all look at the average subscription data. With this operation, an average subscription of 8,000 can be turned into 10,000 subscriptions, which is very satisfying.
For an author, crossing the threshold of boutique and 10,000 subscriptions is a qualitative leap, and he will get many tangible benefits, whether it is recommendation, copyright or honor. For example, the Twelve Heavenly Kings of Qidian also have the opportunity to participate after 10,000 subscriptions.
And many authors who don’t know this method, originally had good results, but they have been updating 2,000 words per chapter, which resulted in the loss of the boutique badge that they could get by publishing large chapters. Very angry!
“Then I will update more chapters and prevent the average subscription from growing too fast, so that I can curb some of it.”
Using this technique, Pu Jie can ensure that without other exposure, the average subscription of his book can be maintained at around 12,000. No longer grow.
“Then. It’s poison! It must poison domestic readers and not affect foreign readers.”
This is a technical job.
If he had deliberately made a pot of shit before, and then added some poison to feed it to readers, he would not care about their life or death.
Now Pu Jie has to make a pot of something that looks like shit + poison to domestic readers and chocolate + cream to foreign readers.
Only in this way can the system’s task be completed.
"Damn the system! The tasks it issues are really inhumane!"
"This is clearly making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!"
"But at least there is still room for maneuver!"
Pu Jie took another look at the upper limit of Qidian's fantasy works. It was only 30,000 average subscriptions. His book wouldn't break the upper limit directly, right?
There would definitely be no problem with some manipulation!
"Right. That method!" Pu Jie seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up!
