Today, I logged in for a limited time.

I uploaded the first chapter on November 16, 2019, and I was very proud of it.

On December 1, 2019, when it was 60,000 words, it was recommended as a popular serialized test, and the weekly increase was 600, and I felt something was wrong.

, 80,000 words were recommended as a new science fiction book, and the weekly increase was 800, and I was confused and anxious.

, 120,000 words were recommended as a category, and the weekly increase was 700, and I was shocked.

I began to wonder, is this world wrong, or am I wrong?

What did I do wrong? Or has the times eliminated me?

I began to face up to my own inability to write a satisfying and refreshing article that people would like deeply after reading it.

I began to question whether it was necessary to continue this story.

I have always told myself that I should write as much as I can, with a little insignificant pursuit.

Don't aim too high, just be content and have a clear conscience.

So I always thought that a story that is carefully constructed will definitely be appreciated by readers.

I know that my book still goes against the current trend.

It is slow to start, and it is obviously intended to be a science fiction, but the beginning is a standard urban entertainment.

I am really good at writing about the city, and many people have asked me, you obviously want to write about the city, why do you write science fiction?

Isn't science fiction all about unlimited flow and black technology? What's the matter, you want to write this kind of science fiction at Qidian, do you really want to go bankrupt?

I was speechless and choked, not knowing how to answer.

I confessed. Really, I didn't think so much, but after experiencing the earth-shattering three consecutive eunuchs in 2019, I asked myself again and again at night, what should I do? How can I hold on?

Apart from changing my career and job, I can't think of a way.

Many readers know that I used to be an environmentalist and had some achievements. I attended the school's alumni reunion and talked to my university tutor, who heard about my job search intentions. A week later, an offer for the vice president of technology was placed in front of me. The monthly salary was not high, but not low.

If I accepted this offer and returned to the position in the environmental protection industry, then in the future, I can only and must take responsibility for my family and can no longer be distracted.

In the end, I made a decision that my family did not understand, to start a new book.

I thought that the stories I had come up with with all my heart and soul, regardless of how good the results were, would always be recognized by some die-hard readers. Just like when I wrote "Carrying the Goddess Queen with You" with an initial order of 263 and expanded it to 4.22 million words, with an average order of 2,800, and sold the comic copyright, the daily sales on Tencent Comics were quite high.

I thought I could do it, but reality poured a bucket of cold water on me.

I cannot deny that the recommendation results at the beginning were really terrible, so I should not have Sanjiang's strong recommendation.

No one could have guessed what my mentality was when I knew that there would be no more recommendations, the public chapters were about to reach 300,000 words in numb persistence, and I asked the editor to apply for direct listing.

At that time, there were 4,000 collections. What I was thinking was that there are so many people reading pirated copies on Qidian now, and the book review section is stagnant. Only a few die-hard fans like Ye Feng are still encouraging me. I feel that my subscription-to-revenue ratio should not be very good.

If the first order is less than 200, and the subscription-to-revenue ratio is 20:1, I will say goodbye to this industry and continue to repair sewage treatment plants.

But the ending is a bit awkward.

The first order is 300.

I am neither up nor down.

It is higher than my expectations, but still not enough.

I began to ask myself again.

Should I persist? What was my original dream?

What kind of book do I want to write? What kind of story do I want to tell?

Are you going to disappoint the trust and expectations of readers again and again?

In the numb update, I considered for two days and decided to continue.

Many new readers know what happened next.

My brothers gave me a lot of chapter recommendations, and I didn't let go of almost all the good brothers who could py.

I didn't actually ask for chapter recommendations like this before.

But I found an extremely shameless reason for myself.

For survival.

It's not only for survival, but also the last ember of the dream of writing a good story.

I want to use my shamelessness to rekindle it.

So I did it.

You should have seen which brothers I asked for chapter recommendations in my last testimonial.

Frankly speaking, I didn't have much hope for chapter recommendations, but what I never expected was that when the brothers' chapter recommendations were in place one after another, my average subscription increased from more than 200 to 800.

Then, a silver alliance came.

The average subscription quickly exceeded 1,000.

At that time, I calculated that if I updated 8,000 words a day and the average subscription was 1,000, the monthly manuscript fee could be 6,000 to 7,000. Although it still couldn't solve the debt problem, it finally had some meaning to persist.

Unknowingly, another 20 days had passed.

I waited for the limited-time free recommendation, which I had once despised, but now it is a life-saving straw.

To be honest, this should be the only recommendation that can be seriously presented since the book was written.

The editor treated me well in the previous trial recommendation, which is a problem of the book itself.

But this time, I can get a limited-time free version, and I can finally tell everyone loudly that my ambition to write a book has come back to life.

As long as I work hard, treat my books with care, and persist, I can support myself and my family by telling stories.

I am also very grateful for my previous persistence.

I have lived up to the failure of 2019, and I hope that 2020 will be better for me.

I don’t know what effect this limited free period will achieve, or how much subscriptions will increase, but it should be better than before.

The last book I finished was "Monster Catcher Daddy", with 2.2 million words and 3,800 average subscriptions.

I will still run hard to catch up with my former self.

I still firmly believe that science fiction is the story I want to tell the most.

I still firmly believe that no matter where it is, there are still a group of readers who like to read science fiction.

My mood is more complicated today, and what I said is a mess, I hope you will forgive me.

Everyone, let’s encourage each other.
