I had some complaints and wanted to vomit, so I got it.
The writing of 500,000 words cannot be said to be a hit on the street, it can only be said to be Internet garbage.
The volume of "Ingenious Girl" is painful to write and painful to read. The author and readers torture each other. Sometimes I really feel sorry for the gentlemen who subscribe.
So I want to find out the reason.
First of all, it should be the wrong topic selection.
It is true that the work "Ingenious Girl" was very successful as a work 10 years ago, and even if it is mentioned now, some people will make fun of it. But other than that, whether it's the characters (part of it), the background, or the plot, it's all a piece of cake.
I know it’s wrong to look at a work from 10 years ago with today’s perspective, but the purpose of writing this volume is to use the other party’s elements to drive the whole work. But now it seems to me that just for this plate of vinegar-wrapped dumplings, a huge period of growth has been wasted, and even more than half of the readers have gone away.
Of course, if it is a simple mistake in topic selection that is still acceptable, readers will reluctantly subscribe to it.
However, I made another mistake during this period.
——The growth of the protagonist.
In order to prepare for the next volume, I wrote a little growth, which led to me completely ignoring one thing, that is, my protagonist does not need to grow.
Yes, he doesn't need to grow.
The point is not whether Hanaryusai Glass is qualified or not, but what I wrote is a mature protagonist, the kind who turns into a dragon when encountering a storm, and does not need the growth attribute at all.
I have already discussed this with industry leaders.
He said:
"The protagonist you wrote is very mature, both in his thoughts and actions, so the growth he writes is very strange, giving people a feeling of not knowing anything. Especially when he has done nothing wrong but still has to be criticized, it will make readers confused. They have such a great flexibility because they have a rebellious psychology that is not understood. You ask for a solution? Not writing is the best solution. Your protagonist does not need to grow."
Thanks to the boss's request, I forced a twist at the end of this volume, and I should be able to barely pass it.
Of course, these are all errors in writing, and the most fatal ones are the troubles in real life.
I have been flying in the sky since last month, and the time I spend on the ground may not be as long as the time I spend in the sky. But even so, except for asking for leave when I went to Chongqing due to plane turnover problems, and when I really didn’t want to take leave when I got home, I have insisted on updating every day.
I really, really, really want to stop updating!
Stop it for a month!
But I know my character, and once I stop writing, it’s absolutely impossible to continue writing, so I force myself to continue writing.
The price is a huge drop in quality and errors in both work and writing. I want both ends, but I can’t catch either end.
I even forgot about a very important line that was laid out before - the elf line of the OVA. It wasn’t until I finished updating the last chapter last night that I suddenly remembered it, and my grievances came to me all of a sudden.
But no matter what, I finally managed to finish this volume. Although there are regrets, the victory lies in completeness.
Summary: It’s a success if you don’t stop updating.

ps: It should be back to normal after that, and the level should be back. In addition, another world is better to write, and the main tone from now on will be another world.
