This book has been on stand-alone for too long, and it is almost 200,000 words long before more readers started to comment.
I am basically a novice author. I have been working on a single computer in many places in the early stage, and I have some problems with writing. But I don’t know where the problems are, so I just immerse myself in writing.
When I first wrote it, there weren’t that many business and entrepreneurial elements in it in the early stages. This can also be seen in the protagonist’s plan in the early chapters.
In the early stage, I felt more like a master of literature, focusing on publishing papers and technology, and only in the middle stage did I turn to entrepreneurship.
After the number of readers increased, many expressed their hope that it would soon have a commercial component, so they temporarily cut into the plot of whiteness.
Later, he said that after making enough money, he hopes to start a business as soon as possible and hopes to see a protagonist with a stronger ambition, so he has been looking for an angle recently.
I personally have no obsession with the plot direction of the story, and I am still in a state of exploration. At first, I just need to write the protagonist to get a lot of money. Maybe it is more about my personal expectation for a leisurely life after working overtime all day long.
I felt so tired that it was most comfortable to lie down and share my money. This was my instinct.
If possible, try to satisfy the readers' wishes.
However, after changing the plot and direction, sometimes it will lead to insufficient foreshadowing, or some details that I have not fully considered. I try to avoid this.
I've been making frequent changes based on feedback recently.
For example, because I hope to strengthen the entrepreneurial part, I changed my contract with Google from three years to one year. The plan is to complete the papers in one year and then run away and work on my own. Before I left, I started a business in China. After I left, I accumulated American resources at Google for a year and started a new business. Maybe in the plot, he will travel around the world for his career, so he won't stay in Silicon Valley as long as originally planned.
For example, many readers reported that the female supporting role was redundant (the heroine of this book has not yet been decided). I have already deleted two chapters, and I have also made adjustments to the follow-up plan. I plan to downplay them and introduce some new characters to see the feedback.
For example, some contracts require lawyers, the equity distribution is unreasonable, and some operations may violate regulations.
I basically went back and revised or patched these unclear areas.
It's really inconvenient to change it, and there's really nothing we can do about it.
If you find that some of your comments are missing, it’s not because I deleted them, but because they were basically changed due to editing of the article.
I listen to everyone's opinions with an open mind, and any reasonable suggestions will be revised accordingly.
The direction of the future plot will also be adjusted based on discussions with everyone.
For example, I am not ambitious enough. This is not only reflected in my personal instinct of wanting to settle down, but also because the original timetable for switching from a top student to business is too late, and I will adjust and speed up the adjustment recently.
There are several book friends who help me find unreasonable parts of the plot all day long, and there are also book friends who specialize in correcting my typos.
Of course, there are more book lovers who silently pursue reading every day.
This number of readers is certainly not high considering the starting point, but for me personally it is much better than the previous stand-alone version.
Thank you very much!
