I have been hesitating about this single chapter for a long time, so I took advantage of today’s opportunity to tell you about it. Two updates are ahead today, so readers can read the plot first~(￣▽￣~)~
From good news to bad news, from plot discussions to future plans and more.
It will also be the only single chapter before it is released, right?
I try to make sure this happens as little as possible.
...
The good news first.
The good news is that I advanced to the fourth round, which is also the final step in the fantasy category channel.
Here, I rely on the reading of the big readers, and also rely on the chapter recommendations of many authors I particularly like.
Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today.
If it weren't for you, I might have been incompetent in various aspects because I wrote such a slow, unconventional, and bland subject. As a result, I ended up not having the confidence to continue, and I would probably have cut the book. The worry is never whether you can make money, but whether no one will watch.
...
So here's the bad news.
This book will probably stop at four pages.
What are four wheels?
You can open the Qidian app, click on Selection, click on Category, click on Fantasy. There are four columns in it, from the most popular series at the bottom to the editor’s recommendation, that is, one to four.
When a novel reaches the fourth round, there is actually only one final goal left, and that is Sanjiang.
However, given the current situation, Sanjiang's hope is very slim, and there is not enough follow-up data.
But I am satisfied for now.
From the initial idea, I went on a first-round tour, then a second-round tour, and finally, thanks to you, I got to go on a fourth-round tour. I even had the ambition to go down to Sanjiang and have a snot-filled dream.
From the initial expectation, the average order for each product to be put on the shelves would be fifty or one hundred, and in the end, it might even be possible for five hundred to be put on the shelves. It is simply unimaginable.
...
Tell me the plot.
I actually had to smile bitterly when I wrote it like this.
After all, we have grown up watching cool articles, but when it comes to writing our own, we no longer want to write that kind of cool articles.
How to compare it, it was so enjoyable after watching it. One day passed, and then I looked back and found that I couldn't remember anything or recall anything.
Therefore, I wanted to write a "time travel article" that can provide a little aftertaste, a little thinking, and a little rigorous survival.
Happiness will definitely be behind, but happiness must be in the front.
Based on this concept, I have reached this point on the road of seeking death.
But I am very lucky that there are still readers who support me through the data they read.
If I say that when I decided on the theme and started publishing the book, I was walking on this desolate road alone.
So now, you are leading me on the voyage of this book.
I hope that we can achieve each other's success together. You witness me and I witness you.
.
The topic has strayed, let’s continue with the plot.
Regarding characterization, including the protagonist's personality and even the color of the characters, I fully accept these criticisms.
But because I want to write a world that already has 230,000 words of setting, it is destined to be difficult to unfold. Every step and every sentence must be carefully considered.
Strive to have the promotion of setting in the fight, the revelation of information in the dialogue, and the gathering of clues in the thinking. These are the three major elements in my opinion.
And the ultimate goal is what I hope will be in the first volume - The Shadow of the Flower City.
In this volume, the pattern of the mysterious world is opened up.
In other words, the issues that everyone is worried about, including the cultivation system, level issues, plot advancement, characters, especially the protagonist, being too passive, etc., will all be solved in the second volume, according to my current personal judgment, and there will be no problems. The security is set at 230,000 yuan.
And this book will be more of a true third-person subject matter, which is to say that it is infinitely close to a sub-group portrait drama.
Let’s talk about the heroine issue. It will definitely come out at the end of the volume or the beginning of the second volume.
You don’t need to worry about plot and system issues, I’m sure of it.
I will always keep the novel "reasonable".
.
In the plot, I may not be able to write about the life world of ordinary people in as much detail as possible due to the subject matter and some iron-clad rules. Especially in this book, it is actually testing on a very dangerous edge. Going forward One step, if you don't think so, you can throw it into the official article of the city channel, it will definitely be 404.
Therefore, in order to be able to write millions of words for a long time and finish the book safely, some of ordinary people's lives will inevitably be compressed, and more words will be concentrated on people and things in the mysterious world. I also hope that everyone I'll scold you lightly, it's not that I can't control it, but I really don't dare to write, especially the "official" general "IQ" in the current world setting is really too dangerous.
.
As for the issue of updates, to be honest, if I was coding all day long, I would often finish writing 4,000 words. When I looked back, I realized that whatever Gan Lin Niang had written, I deleted it in a flash, so... Four thousand words every day troubles me.
It’s not that I don’t want to write fast, but this volume is really difficult to write, especially since I don’t want to write fast.
But I have to ensure that the content is not too dry, so that I once thought about what kind of garbage classification I am trying to maintain dryness and humidity.
The problem with the plot is probably like this, so let’s return to the focus of this book.
...
Everyone——
I want to go to Sanjiang!
What does Sanjiang mean? It means a higher platform, more readers, more discussions, and collisions of ideas among book friends. This is my vision.
And what is needed for this, I need to read it very baldly at the moment.
Therefore, please allow me to let go of my old face and express my sincere thanks to all the readers. Please try your best to keep reading every day before it is put on the shelf, or you can QAQ it by setting up automatic reading.
I also ask everyone to help me spread the word to the best of your ability and attract more interested readers!
Our final battle is about to begin, just as it is not long before the end of the volume.
Our starting time is this Sunday, next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, next Monday.
Inside, next Monday and the next Monday are the most critical times to decide whether to go to Sanjiang.
Therefore, I hope that you can come and help me during these two most critical days!
I try my best to write the content of my peak state, and I also ask everyone to contribute a little bit to fish me out of drowning in various ways.
...
Whatever you ask for, there must be a price, just like the setting in this novel.
In return, I will put it on the shelves as late as possible so that everyone can read more free words on the genuine app.
I also promise here that I will not cut books because of money. If I wanted to make money and make money, I would not write this book, explore this subject, create this kind of world and characters, and I would not give myself Throwing a silver alliance, I just want everyone to read it. The premise is that I am not feeding shit. If this is the case, it is my fault and I deserve it.
But just like Zuo Dao has come to a new world, so do I. We need help and new friends to have the strength to go further in this torrent of online articles.
.
As for the issue of the number of free words, internally, we follow the rule of "continuous push to put on the shelves", that is to say, when the recommendations of new books (free period) are no longer available, we have to prepare to put them on the shelves. This is something I cannot compete with, especially for me. For this kind of new reader, even if the editor wants to help me, there is nothing he can do. There is a platform system.
But what we can struggle with is the recommendation to go further!
It also allows you to save some money on reading books.
Therefore, please help me.
...
The above is roughly what I want to say.
With luck, maybe there will be a Sanjiang speech and then a speech on the shelves? Although I think the chance is low.
As luck would have it, maybe it will be a post on the shelves in a while.
Let’s talk about those contents later.
There will be a normal update tomorrow.
