Although the main text of "The Wind Rises in the Green Duckweed" has been completed, there are still a few side stories to be written. After finishing the main text, Lin Shu lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he couldn't tell the difference between day and night.
He seemed to have been feeling sleepy for several months, and suddenly all of it was released.
Regarding the ending, Lin Shu had thought of several versions and finally decided on this one.
He didn't dare say that this was the most suitable ending for Xiao Nian. He could only say that at that moment, that was the choice Xiao Nian would make.
Lin Shu and Cheese Bean had discussed this before, and the editor's only concern was that he would be criticized for this ending.
In fact, Lin Shu was not scolded, but many readers still could not accept the way Xiao Nian ended.
Lin Shu read the readers' comments carefully one by one. A few hours after the main ending was released, some readers had already left messages saying that such an ending was "expected."
As the author, Lin Shu was not in a very good mood either. He did not deliberately give an ending that readers would find frustrating. He just slowly filled in the original plot line to enrich the complete story.
But...the ending of "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" did have a bad influence on Lin Shu.
For example, a man named Xie with a cat-like personality, after solemnly asking Lin Shu "How could you be so heartless", has been posting crying cat head emoticons.
Lin Shu doesn’t know where he gets so many emoticons from.
There were also authors he was familiar with - Guju and Ling Luo - who both said that if Lin Shu didn't write the extra chapters more perfectly, they planned not to talk to Lin Shu for at least half a day.
Lin Shu: "...The ending is already decided."
Xiao Nian is gone, and even if the extra story is perfect... it may not be perfect from the reader's perspective.
"We don't care about that. Just go ahead and write."
Lin Shu: “…”
I have to say, this requirement is a bit difficult.
Well, he wrote well.
…
When Lin Shu woke up, the first thing he did was to look at the backstage. He planned to review the ending and then think about how to write the sequel.
Suddenly, Lin Shu's fingers stopped.
He logged out and then back in to confirm that it was his account, but the data...
Although Lin Shu doesn't care much about subscription data on weekdays, he still looks at it. After all, subscriptions are the most intuitive way to tell whether an online article is performing well or not.
The reason why Lin Shu was surprised at this moment was that compared with the subscription data when he released the ending, the current subscriptions... were too good.
It was better than he expected.
The day is not even halfway through and there are already more subscriptions than yesterday.
"I thought..." Lin Shu sighed, "everything was ready."
Generally speaking, when the main body of an article is completed, the subscription will indeed increase, but he has already written several articles. Even "The King of Draft", which has the strongest subscription so far, did not see such a fierce growth when it was nearing the end.
Lin Shu couldn't help but ask Cheese Bean: "Has this happened before?"
Cheese Bean asked him back, "Do you think... we at Carving Entertainment have a better article than "The King of Draft" subscription?"
This was a first for Lin Shu, and also for Sculpture Entertainment.
The author and editor quietly welcomed the rapid explosion of subscriptions.
"The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" is Lin Shu's fifth article. Among the five articles, it has the lowest subscription. The one before it was "The Concubine in the Palace". However, since yesterday, the subscription of "The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" has been soaring. Lin Shu feels that at this pace, "The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" will surpass "The Concubine in the Palace" in the near future.
In fact, the subscription period of "Wind Rises in the Sky" lasted much longer than Lin Shu imagined.
On the first day, he thought it would be good if this trend could last for two days.
However, the next day, the number of subscriptions in his background was nearly twice that of the previous day.
Day 3…
Although "The Wind Rises in the Sky" has always been ranked first on the Gold List, the values of the first on the Gold List and the first on the Gold List are different.
The number of subscriptions for "The Legend of Yun Xi" on the third day after its completion even surpassed the highest daily subscription of "The King of the Draft".
"This article will probably gain long-term word-of-mouth recognition." Cheese Bean said with certainty.
Although from the editor's point of view, not to mention the profits after the completion of the main text, just the profits during the serialization period, "The Wind Rises in the Sky" is already very strong.
…
It was also since the main text was completed that "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" began to sweep all kinds of recommendation lists.
First, MSK took the lead and the major veterans organizations of the federation rated "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" as the most worth-read online article. Later, in the "Most Impressive Online Article" selection with more than 100,000 readers participating in the vote, "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" beat "The King of the Draft" to win the championship.
In votes related to "dreams" and "ideals", "Wind Rises in the Sky" also ranked quite high.
There is also a series of selections with the label of "sadomasochism", and "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping", which does not have much emotional portrayal, is also on the list.
In the words of readers, Xiao Nian's love is restrained and hidden, but it makes people unforgettable for a long time.
On the forum, the mocking posts about "The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" had long been cleared out, replaced by readers' various analyses of the article - as early as a month ago, a "prophet" had speculated that "The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" might end in tragedy.
In addition, there is a deep resentment towards the person who roasted the chicken leg.
Lin Shu ignored it.
Of course, many readers also opened new threads, proposing various if lines for "The Wind Rises in the Sky", such as Xiao Nian is still alive, but continues to complete the task in secret, or Xiao Nian sees the arrival of a new era... Some if lines are so well written that Lin Shu couldn't help but recommend them on his homepage.
