Two very important things

There is only one update today.

Because I was very tired and wanted to sleep after get off work, I set the alarm for 8:30, hoping to take a nap before writing again. But I ended up sleeping until 10 o'clock. Well, I lost my perfect attendance record this month.

Then, I went to check the author’s subscription data in the background. Perhaps because of my ostrich mentality, I rarely looked at these things when I knew the results were very poor.

The data shows that the latest chapter has only 150 subscriptions, which means that if I update two chapters a day, not counting the benefits of premium membership, in the best case, I can earn 30 yuan in royalties a day.

I don't type fast. One chapter may take me about one and a half to two hours, depending on the number of words. After a rough estimate, I was shocked to find that my hourly wage was less than 10 yuan per hour!

This reminds me of a news I saw recently. A factory in a coastal city was recruiting summer workers and offering a sky-high salary of 9 yuan per hour. I didn't expect that my salary was almost the same. Ahem, I'm ashamed.

In addition to meeting the update requirements, the 1,000 yuan attendance reward has a hidden condition, which is an average subscription of 500. With my current 150 subscriptions, I am actually not eligible for this reward. The reason why I get the attendance reward is because I am sucking the blood of the previous high-subscription chapters.

After all the above, and losing my perfect attendance record, I made the following decision.

1. I enabled the free channel model. Under certain group channels, I can watch genuine content for free. It seems that there is a sharing of advertising revenue. I am not sure how it works specifically. Anyway, subscriptions are no longer applicable, so I decided to just go for it and enable the free channel.

(I am not sure where I can watch it for free and which places belong to our group. Friends who know can tell me.) 2. The update time will be changed to before 8:00 pm. The number of updates will depend on my typing situation. If there are no updates, you don’t have to wait.

There are two reasons for doing this. First, I have given up full attendance. It's a very realistic reason. The effort does not match the income. One thousand more or less does not mean much to me. The updates may not be very stable, and I don't have to take leave again and again. I can't let my friends who are following my reading waste time waiting until 12 o'clock.

The second reason is that I want to change my work and rest schedule. To be honest, in the more than one year that I have been writing novels, I can only go to bed after the early hours of the morning. I feel that my physical condition is not as good as before. I am still young and not married yet, and I don’t want to die young.

above.

When I first started writing the novel and before it was put on the shelves, I was indeed full of enthusiasm and passion. Every word, although immature, contained my emotions.

But later on, in the boring coding day after day, although I gained some benefits, my passion was also worn away. Coding and updating became more like a daily task.

I wish I can find my original intention in reality.

Thank you all for your continued support. "Immortality" will not be abandoned, nor will it be hastily concluded. I will finish coding according to the outline. The only thing you need to understand is that the update speed may be relatively slow. As a part-time author, I will really encounter many difficulties.

Finally, please don't give me rewards in the future. This is my request. I don't want the situation description in this chapter to be seen as selling misery. That would make me feel like I'm begging. Hahaha, just think of it as a man's self-esteem.

Please help me! (End of this chapter)
