Chapter 1421 2024 Year-End Summary

Use the year-end summary as a conclusion, because there is a lot of content, just list it in a separate page.

This year's update has come to an end. Just like I said at the end of last month, I want to make a good ending for 2024, and I think I have done it.

If you count this one, 24 chapters were updated on the last day, which is great.

Chapter 12 is a reserve, Chapter 11 was written on the same day, and this chapter is the year-end summary.

Mingyue is an old thief, his strength is unknown, but he gets stronger when he meets a strong opponent.

A friend advised me that it is okay to update more, but not so much. Keep some reserve, and it will be much easier next year.

I thought about it, and next year's update will still be written next year.

I have only heard of delaying this year's work to next year, but I have never heard of finishing next year's work in advance.

That doesn't make sense.

I left everything I wrote in 2024 in 2024 as a gift to everyone, I hope you like it.

Before writing this chapter, I went back to read the year-end summary of 23 years.

At this time last year, it was 1.05 million words, and now it is about 3.85 million words. In a year, I wrote 2.8 million words, and the average daily update is about 7,600 words.

Last year, I boasted that I would write 3.65 million words, and the final completion rate was 76%. I can only say that it is above passing, but not excellent.

Regarding the update plan for next year... I will tentatively set an average of 8,000 words per day and 3 million words per year.

You can make progress, but don't take too big steps, it's easy to talk nonsense.

The new book I was planning to open can only be left until next year.

December 2024 is the month with the most updates in the whole year. In March, I updated 300,000 words, and this month is full of 306,000 words.

Well, it is actually the worst month this year... Of course, this is not important.

As for why there are so many updates this month, there are many reasons.

Because Xue Meng owes you too much, I can't bear it, so I will simply pay him back a few.

Because I set a lot of goals this year, looking back, I didn't complete many of them, and I feel unwilling.

Because I am still young and want to prove with my actions that I am still young...

There is another small reason.

There was an event called "Bridge of Dimensions" before. We had about a hundred readers who chose this book in the event. I did not canvass for votes. Anyway, the final result was 47th.

I even commented at the time that this thing does not need to be done, and there is no result.

In fact, hard work may not always succeed, but hard work always has results.

You can't admit that hard work has results only when there are good results.

New readers may think that I am just a simple greedy person.

Old readers should all know that I am the kind of person who is greedy for fame and fortune.

It's just that because of my limited strength, I have always been very low-key and have not exposed my greed.

I also canvassed for votes for the SSS-level book once, and I also canvassed for votes for this book once in the early days. I remember that the results were both average in the end.

The main reason is that my strength is not good enough, which delayed everyone's enthusiasm.

I've strayed off topic. What I want to say is that when I saw the final result of 47th place, I was happy, and an idea popped up in my mind, why not add 47 chapters.

So, when setting the goal for December, I was very cunning and gave a very low goal of 210,000 words per month. In this way, the extra updates can be regarded as explosive updates.

At that time, some readers told me, "You old thief, take the best and get the middle, set a higher goal."

Me: What do you know about explosive updates! Do you know about explosive updates or do you know about explosive updates? !

How do you know that I will have 24 chapters on December 31, 2024? !

But the matter of 47 chapters in a single month, I thought about it again, this is not right!

Then the more readers vote, the higher the ranking, the fewer explosive updates, isn't it a loss?

The harder you work, the more you fail... just like when I write novels.

So, the final decision is to have (100-47) chapters, which is 53 chapters.

To sum up: the update plan for December should be 210,000 words basic + 53 chapters * 2,000 words per chapter = 316,000 words.

A total of 306,000 words have been updated this month, and I still owe less than 10,000 words.

This number of words will definitely be paid off next month.

Well, I want to emphasize here that this (50 chapters per month) is a whim behavior, and it will not be this standard in the future, and it will not be used as a reference for any activities...

Otherwise, if there is an event, I will burst dozens of chapters, which is too much.

Be considerate of the 30-year-old elderly.

That's all for the update.

Let's talk about 2024.

In fact, at this time last year, when I was writing the year-end summary for 2023, I never thought that this book could be written to nearly 4 million words, let alone that I would write this book until 2025.

The reason for not thinking about it is very simple. As I have said countless times before, the performance of this book has always been very poor.

The poor quality of this book is due to its inherent deficiencies. The completion rate of 100,000 words is too low (16%), and the subsequent plot is not stable, and the overall completion rate is low (3% for 1 million words).

Insiders know how bad this data is. As for explaining it to readers...

The generally recognized passing line for the completion rate of 100,000 words is 20-25%, and this book is 16%, which is difficult to even pass.

There are very few books that can continue to be written with a low completion rate of 100,000 words. Generally, the completion rate of 1 million words will be high, and this book is obviously not one of them.

The data is true and verifiable. I lose my hair if I lie.

Low completion rate, low retention, low price per unit, low income... The chain reaction caused by this has made the already poor results even worse.

These things combined are undoubtedly fatal.

Even if there was a peak of 600,000 readers for a short time, it still cannot change its inherent disadvantages.

To explain with the simplest example: with the same 10,000 new readers, other books can retain 3,000 people, but I can only retain 1,000 people, or even less.

For the same 1,000 readers, my income may be half or even one-third of others.

(As an aside, the proportion of readers who have read nearly 4 million words is about 0.2%. Well, the readers who have persisted to this point are the heroes of "one out of a thousand", so it is reasonable to give back to everyone.)

There are also problems with the "volume absorption" of this book.

The three most important sections of Tomato: volume absorption, retention, and price per unit, I am completely broken.

Unexpectedly!

I can't make people satisfied with one thing, but I can make people dissatisfied with everything!

GG.

Total pizza.

This is a statement of fact. After all, it is so miserable, I can't even give him the right to complain. I have written so much, so I can complain.

He is like this, why do you still care about him?

Then the question is, since it is so miserable, who should be blamed?

Oh, I am the author, I am fully responsible?

That's fine...

Then why did you write 4 million words on the basis of the original plan of 2 million words when it is so miserable?

The reason is very complicated.

I want to write a long novel myself, and the original framework of this book is also aimed at a long novel. It is precisely because of the excessive desire to lay out the framework that many things in the early stage are not so reasonable.

To put it bluntly, the beginning is really ugly.

The good news is that the subsequent level is maintained at the beginning, and it is stable throughout the whole process.

There is no such thing as starting low and ending high, and the later the better... At least I personally don't agree with this kind of statement.

The different reading experience at different stages of the whole book is just because of the different creative techniques and creative ideas. The author's level has always been at this level.

In fact, the writing process of the whole book has gone through the following roller coaster:

[Expected 3 million words]-[The results are too poor, let's finish it at 1 million words]-[The 500,000-word book test seems to be okay, so let's write 2 million words]-[I have already written 2 million words, why not finish the previous 3 million words]-[I have already written 3 million words, why not write until Jiang Bai is born]

So, the main reason why this book will be written until 2025/5/30:

Jiang Bai is born!

Zai Tiandi, what a terrible fraud!

According to the original framework, this book can really support 5 million words, but the results are too poor, and I didn't write it well. I was anxious in the middle, the plot accelerated, and the framework actually collapsed. What followed was endless extension and nesting dolls...

But since it is a nesting doll, since the results are so poor, why do I still insist on writing until May 30, 25 years?

Because I planned to do so from the beginning, and now there is an opportunity to persist in front of me, I don't want to miss it.

There may be many reasons, but to do something, what is needed is not a reason, but action.

Just like someone asked me why I wanted to update ten chapters.

Because I can.

I can do it, I want to do it, and I did it.

This is the most direct reason.

I want to add 53 chapters this month. Although there are still a few chapters left, I have at least done it.

The next time I share more insights on creation, it should be in the summary of the book.

In short, 2024 is the happiest year of my life. It has passed, and I will miss it.

I left all the words I wrote in 2024 in 2024, hoping that they can bring you happiness.

At least, I am happy, and I believe that you will feel some happiness more or less.

I am Mingyue Laozei, and I am very happy to accompany you through 2024. This is also the first time since I started writing books that I have accompanied readers for a whole year.

I hope to have the opportunity to spend more time with you in the future.

Finally, I wish you all good health, happiness, and smooth sailing.

Let writing become a habit and reading become a companion.

I am Mingyue Laozei, see you next year.

Happiness, you deserve it.

(PS: I updated 50,000 chapters in a single day. Please give me some free gifts and urge me to update more. Especially urge me to update more. Please. This is really important for me to be fat. Okay~)
