Over the next few days, Yi Yang felt as if he had returned to the time when he first started working.
I put in all my effort every day, writing with all my might.
My mental state is fine; I don't need to think for myself, I can just copy it exactly, it's just a bit tiring for my fingers.
A statistic shows that an average typist can type 160 words per minute, averaging about 7,000 words per hour.
However, Yi Yang can definitely reach 10,000 now, which means he has pushed his hand speed to the limit.
As for online updates, at the strong insistence of the editor "Fox," it has become a major chapter every three days.
The main problem was that Yi Yang lacked martial ethics. The next day, he directly released all ten sub-chaps of the fifth major chapter, "Microscopic Steps Create Patterns."
The saying goes, "Once is acceptable, twice is acceptable, but not a third time."
A couple of days ago, everyone thought it was a draft, and after a few joking discussions, it was over.
But if you pull this stunt again on the third day, it will directly cause public outrage.
Among the three author groups, there are more people tagging Yi Yang.
If your book isn't popular, no matter how many updates you make, it won't matter, because nobody will care.
But now that your book is so popular, many readers will directly compare it to other books.
What to do? If it were shorter, I could just grit my teeth and follow along.
But with this amount, how are others supposed to survive?
If there are drafts saved up, more can be updated, and the resistance can be put on a slight upward trajectory.
Those who write on the same day, after seeing the comments, simply lose all motivation to write.
I tagged Yi Yang in the group chat, but there was no response. Now, I had no choice but to complain to my editor.
One or two, or they just don't bother with it, since most editors are rather aloof.
But if dozens or hundreds of them come together, it would be strange if they didn't attract attention.
"Fox" is also having a huge headache right now.
Now, not only are the authors under my supervision complaining, but several colleagues have also come to me to confide in me.
"When people's hearts are in disarray, it's hard to lead the team..."
"Several top-tier authors have been forced to work through the night, and they're on the verge of a breakdown..."
"Many authors in the middle of the pyramid are already thinking of switching platforms, saying this place is no place for humans..."
"Several new hires are even on the verge of packing their buckets and running off to other places overnight..."
“........”
The reasons given were increasingly compelling; if they continued, the platform would go bankrupt.
There was no other way; even the editors-in-chief from other groups came over, and it was impossible not to give them face.
The "fox" had no choice but to try to communicate with Yi Yang.
After some haggling, it became a matter of publishing a major chapter every three days, which is equivalent to updating 10,000 words per day.
Yi Yang is probably the first author to have an editor advise him to update less frequently.
The main problem is that the updates are too frequent, so the effect of the promotion is not fully realized and is wasted.
Slower updates can attract more traffic.
It benefits not only the authors, but also the website.
The fact that Yi Yang slowed down brought a sigh of relief to many authors.
Some authors can manage to write 10,000 words a day if they grit their teeth.
Unlike a few days ago, when over 30,000 people came in right away, it was impossible to keep up even with two feet, let alone two hands.
The authors breathed a sigh of relief, but the readers were not happy.
Having enjoyed a feast of over 30,000 words these past few days, going back to a simple stir-fry of over 10,000 words must have left me feeling unbalanced.
Many people expressed their strong protests in the book review section.
They strongly demand the restoration of their treatment, otherwise they will hold a protest.
"What do you mean? Is it because we can't afford to pay anymore...?"
"Big Tiger, are you being threatened? If so, just say something..."
"Is your keyboard broken? Give me your address and I'll mail it to you..."
"Men, let's be more generous. This is just a small amount; it's not enough for anyone to see."
“............”
Yi Yang ignored these online comments, mainly because he wanted to build up a larger stockpile of drafts.
The sixth chapter, detailing whose disciple and whose courtyard it is, has now been updated online.
With Yi Yang writing for more than 8 hours a day, not only has the fairy sister made her appearance, but the other protagonist, Qiao Feng, has also reached a turning point in his life.
This is the beginning of the climax of the whole book, in the fifteenth chapter, "In the Apricot Grove, Discussing the Meaning of My Life".
As for how to update, Yi Yang didn't know at first and had to copy and paste every day to publish an update.
I only found out later when I mentioned it to "Fox" that I could save it directly to the drafts folder, set a time, and it would be published automatically.
This saved a lot of trouble.
Now Yi Yang has completely abandoned the software and is typing directly in the drafts folder.
That's quite a bit of confidence.
The main problem is that Yi Yang simply copied it verbatim; he didn't come up with his own ideas, and he had to revise it after writing it.
This setting perfectly meets Yi Yang's requirements.
However, at this time, Yi Yang also received a notification from "Fox" that the product would be available for sale in three days.
The free word count is already close to 200,000, which meets the requirements for publication.
There's really nothing we can do about it.
From the time Yi Yang started uploading "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to its release three days later, the entire process took less than ten days.
This is the fastest time in the history of Tencent Novels.
Yi Yang accidentally broke another record.
