Remarks on the launch

Today is May 1st, and it’s time for the book Super Powers to hit the shelves.

Frankly speaking, I feel quite confused. When I read novels in the past, I read the author's testimonials countless times. I always passed them by and didn't devote more energy to reading the words, because what I wanted to read at the time was just the story and plot, and I didn't care about the authors themselves. How to think - At that time, I never thought that I would one day write a novel, and I never thought that I would write a testimonial for the book.

So when the editor told me it was time to put it on the shelves, I felt really confused. I have no experience with this...after all, this is my first time writing a novel. I was also full of doubts about myself. When I was lying in bed at night, I asked myself in my heart, is the text I wrote worth the money for readers to read?

This is not a secular question, but the most acute question for creators. When I wrote posts on Tieba before, I never had to worry about such issues. At that time, I was writing a post for free reading. Whether it was good or bad, I didn’t feel too burdened: everyone was just having fun, so there was no need to be too harsh on myself.

And now, well, now I still write for the love of it. But now my sense of responsibility is much heavier than before. I can no longer blame the random numbers for the unsightly plot, but I have to reluctantly admit that it is all because of my lack of strength. I have to find a way to write a more interesting story, otherwise how can I be worthy of the readers who follow this book? At the same time, I was also a little anxious. I was worried that when I woke up the next day and saw that there weren’t many subscribers, I felt so depressed that I almost wanted to give up... These thoughts, which may be dark or worldly, are all real thoughts in my heart. emotions. Even if you are writing for your own pleasure, these thoughts will inevitably arise.

However, we always say that the story must continue to be written! I don't think about this all the time. Most of the time I am happy with readers' comments and my own stories. I feel encouraged but also disappointed, I don't want to admit my mistakes but I want to correct them humbly. People are always such contradictory creatures, and it is through repeated reflection and summary like this that I can make some progress.

Let’s talk about the book itself. Writing novels is really different from writing posts. It’s almost now that I’ve slowly reversed some of my old bad habits. Writing fan fiction is also different from writing original works. I tried my best to come up with something "original", but I found that the characters and settings I wrote always had shadows of the works I had seen before. This will make people feel disappointed, but then I thought about it. I originally wanted to write a story like the light novel I have read before, so it is inevitable that there will be shadows of my favorite works here - I would say it is the most homage. The best one is undoubtedly "A Certain Magical Index", after all, I really love this work.

And a tribute is a tribute, and a story is a story. I want to try all my favorite story types in this book, such as the superpower battle in the first volume and the daily love comedy in this volume. You can read different stories in each volume. I wrote it myself You will also feel happier when you wake up. The main line of this book will be an old-fashioned story: a young girl with special abilities finds the truth of the world in a step-by-step adventure, and finally saves the world and realizes her own growth.

It's very middle-class, very two-dimensional, and that's what I'm good at.

Therefore, I feel very happy whether I am setting the background of the world view or writing the main text. As before, if my story can make everyone happy and interesting, I feel that I am doing something worthwhile. If everyone is willing to subscribe to read this story, I will naturally be happier)

That’s all I want to say. I will also write novels seriously in the future. Then I will update one chapter at noon today and another chapter in the evening. Thank you everyone~
