It is enough for the fan base to join one, not both. )
It will be available at noon on May 15th (this Friday), about 12:30.
It might be ten minutes in advance, I'm not sure.
We won’t talk about the rules for adding updates. Tomorrow at noon, two updates will be released first, and then the author will add more updates in the afternoon and evening, striving for four or five updates.
Everyone read hard and posted this chapter to cheer up.
Even if it’s to remind you to update and read something like “this, this, this, this”, I’d still be happy to watch it.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my book so lively, and it really feels like I’m dreaming back in time.
In addition, Qidian’s subscription rule is 200 words per coin, and member users receive discounts.
More coins means more words. Some chapters are more expensive and some are cheaper. This is all due to the different number of words.
…
The following is the thoughts of the main author of "Ocean's Thoughts on Time".
There is a lot of nonsense. Those who don’t like to read it can wait for the update tomorrow.
2019.
I wrote a farming article, and the results were just average. I ordered 127 for the first time, and continued to write immersed in it, and then I ordered 630 for the whole book.
It's a bit off-putting, but I've looked away from it. I'm probably at this level.
The book failed to reach two million, because the theoretical requirements for high-tech in the later period were too high, and I couldn't write it. I was stuck every day and felt uncomfortable, so I ended the farming article.
It was only when I wrote about farming that I deeply realized the amount of knowledge required to write about farming. I was a little scared, so I stopped writing about farming and wanted to write about other topics.
In January 2020, I started an animation and entertainment work. I wanted to be a gangster and mess around. After all, I have written about entertainment, so I don’t think it’s difficult, and I am someone with experience.
Unexpectedly, the increase in the two PC-side recommended positions in the new entertainment book was too touching.
There were 199 collections in the first round, 222 collections in the second round, and the total of the two rounds was 421 collections. On the other hand, for the book in the second week, the PC has pushed up the collection by 4366 in two rounds. After reaching the top score, the increase exceeded 1,000 every day, and the gap was like a chasm.
Sure enough, there was a problem with what I wrote at the time, not because of the low traffic of recommended bits.
In January, I was thinking that only 421 collections would be collected after two rounds of promotion, which would definitely guarantee the level of ordering in the dozens.
It’s so difficult for me. I just want to order hundreds of books. Why is it so difficult?
Compared to those big guys with thousands of orders, my psychological bottom line is really low.
So I cut the entertainment work in half.
I calmly think about the reasons for failure.
It's slow to warm up, not fast enough, and the popularity of sand sculpture animation has already passed.
This made me realize that my research was in the wrong direction and I had to find a different way of thinking about the topic.
Then I started to retreat. I started to retreat in February this year. The original plan was to retreat for two to three months (in fact, I left the mountain after one month of retreat).
First, do the job of sweeping the list.
I scan the first-order books of each issue, especially the books that have been on the shelves in the past two or three months.
I specifically look at which book in the field of light novels has the highest first order. The high first order means that it represents the trend of that period, and the popular elements are clear at a glance.
Then I discovered that words such as Cthulhu, Tokyo, and Supernatural are very popular in the light novel category recently. They have been popular for several issues in a row. This is not an accident, but it is really popular.
The theme of Tokyo was very popular, so I wrote an unlimited book based on the theme of Tokyo. The first copy used Tokyo as the map.
I just saved the seven-chapter draft and will give it to a trustworthy fan to read.
He said: "It's a bit slow. I don't know what you are writing."
Then I looked at it and it was indeed a bit slow.
The first three chapters have been foreshadowing, and the fourth chapter is the official entry into the dungeon.
Then I entered the dungeon, and I felt like I didn't know why, and I never saw the main line.
Slow rhythm is a big no-no. I wanted to speed it up and let it enter the main line quickly, but I found that I couldn't change it.
If you change it once, you have to tear everything down and start over again.
I simply stopped writing because I feel like I still don’t have the skills to write unlimited streams.
So these seven chapters were scrapped as a manuscript, and they were not posted online anyway. No one knew that they were scrapped by me before they were released.
Then I look for inspiration everywhere.
The opening of the book must be something eye-catching, otherwise it will still be the same old way of ordering dozens of books.
In the text introduction of a comic book, the words "Second Weekly Boss" suddenly brought inspiration to me.
However, the content of other comics is not what I like to read. The beginning is academic, and you can tell what is coming next.
It's an internal struggle, fighting over and over again.
The layout is a bit small.
It's better to develop a bigger world view, and then I take action.
I think of an old book I wrote before, "The Abnormal Life of the Summoner", which is also a supernatural book with the theme of summoning flow.
Summoner originally collected 4,000 copies, and ordered 321 for the first time. It was a hit book.
The environment at that time was that supernaturalism was not popular in the second dimension, and other categories were popular.
I wrote this book and fans complained, "Why don't you put it on the supernatural channel?"
In fact, I wanted to write a relaxing yet terrifying supernatural summons book, but as I kept writing, I could never come up with a relaxing tone.
In addition, the environment was like that at that time, and supernatural literature was really not popular in the second dimension.
I think the second dimension should be inclusive of all things, and any subject matter can be incorporated into it.
Don’t animations and comics also have horror themes? Why can’t we write a supernatural two-dimensional version when it’s the novel’s turn?
Things are different now. Supernatural elements in light novel categories have become popular.
Moreover, the subscription data is more terrifying than the previous one, ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 subscriptions.
Then I got the idea, I wanted to get back into the summoning flow.
When I first wrote Summoner, I wasn't rigorous enough in the setting of summons. The more summons were made, the more awesome and powerful the protagonist became, and the more his strength collapsed.
This time, based on the core of the summoning flow, a sacrifice flow was made and restricted by side effects.
Combined with the title of the book, "I Became the Second Weekly BOSS" is officially released.
The core of the summoning flow I understand is the sense of unknown, and the unknown can create a sense of expectation.
As long as there is a sense of anticipation, people will continue to read.
This is also the reason why this book does not use those pretentious slaps, and replaces the pretentious slaps with a sense of unknown. Although I changed the summoning flow to the sacrifice flow, the core has not changed.
It’s not that I despise pretentiousness and slap in the face. In fact, I also like to read books that are pretentious, especially books that are invisible pretentiousness.
But let me write, and I'm not very good at it.
The core of pretentiousness and slap in the face is emotion. In essence, it is just a method of expression, and it does not necessarily require pretentiousness and slap in the face.
As long as the emotions are in place, other expression methods may not be as bad as pretending to be a slap in the face.
Showing off and slapping someone in the face is the most obvious shortcut.
Some people can't pretend to be cool and their writing is embarrassing. This is a problem of insufficient understanding. It's not that the plot of pretending to be cool is not good-looking. In fact, most of the books that can be popular are books that are well written in a pretentious way.
Regarding the art of pretending, this is what I learned from the Qidian training class in 2018. It really made me knowledgeable. They are worthy of being masters and have studied pretending very thoroughly.
One fresh trick, eaten all over the world.
Apply your pretentious skills to the point of proficiency, no longer limited to slaps in the face, high-end books are no longer a dream.
Although I have learned it, how to implement it still depends on the individual's understanding.
I kept beating, but my brain was conscious, but I didn't use it well.
In this book, I have made various attempts, but I just rely on my feelings on how to do it, and I don't deliberately pretend to be cool. I don't know if it will work.
Seeing that the boss of the second week is so active in this chapter, there should be no big problem with my thinking.
Hmm...wait a minute, it seems like the introduction speech is too long.
After all, it’s just a casual thought, and it won’t make you happy if you don’t spit it out.
Happy now.
In the second chapter of the book, there will be bosses beating up players in the later stages. After all, the title of the book is here, I will definitely write about it, but not in the early stage.
Beating up players is just a major plot point in this book.
The title of the book "I Became the Second Weekly BOSS" is about the later stage plot. The book itself is about the protagonist slowly growing up to the day when Cthulhu is unsealed through the steady development in the early stage and the strange plot.
After unblocking, beat the player violently.
Let’s wait until then to conceive the next plot. I like the unknown and don’t want to decide the ending right from the beginning.
Regarding BOSS flow books, I have only read books that start from small monsters and gradually grow to big BOSS.
I didn’t pay much attention to a book that starts with a big boss and carries it through to the end.
I saw everyone’s comments on the first chapter and wanted to know what BOSS-style books there are.
I would like to recommend "Full-time BOSS" and "Rebirth: I am BOSS". The content is about growing from monsters to BOSS.
Among them, the full-time BOSS is a big BOSS at the beginning, but after a few chapters, he starts from small monsters. In the rebirth book, he is a small monster from the beginning.
When it comes to writing online articles, most protagonists start working hard from a young age so that they can write long stories.
Or just follow the invincible style, but it will collapse easily.
The above is not a PY transaction, this is purely a personal hobby recommendation. Everyone wants to know, so I recommend it.
Well, I’ll just write my personal remarks here, there’s nothing else I want to write.
I hope to see everyone’s reminders for updates in this chapter tomorrow.
There is no Gugu bottom line this time, and the performance of this book is soaring in my eyes, with 36,000 collections and 1,500+ recommendation votes in a single day.
Seeing such results, I don't have any thoughts of giving up.
There is only one thought left in my mind - try to write two to three million words!
Even more.
Everyone supervises together.
