Chapter 69: Remarks on the Release
After more than a month of new book period, it’s finally time to put it on the shelves!
It will be available at 12:00 tomorrow! Eternal Donkey is quite calm this time, maybe because he is relying on his old achievements and knows that the results will not be too bad?
Living off old capital makes people look down on me. Every day people say I am a "good-for-nothing, a loser" or "I have run out of ideas"...
Ahem, mentioning this book, we have to talk about another book about “dying before achieving success”…
In fact, at the beginning I was thinking about innovation, thinking that I had become stronger and could write about topics that I had never written before!
After all, the performance of the previous book was indeed OK.
So during the Chinese New Year, I read novels by other great writers and wrote in a notebook, recording various new ideas. Adding them up bit by bit, I wrote 100,000 words of the beginning draft and worked hard to write a beginning.
(Urban weird type) Sent it to the operation group, and everyone said it was not good, it was simply a copy of the book "Raising a House of Obsessions" that failed! Donkey was very angry, you have no taste! Sent it to the editor, and the editor said it was not very good, I am afraid it will fail.
Oh my god! Donkey got even angrier and wrote tens of thousands of words more to prove his ability.
The editor continued to say that it was not very good. You can publish it, but the risk is high and it may be difficult to go further.
Facts have proved that in the new track, the Eternal Donkey is completely uncompetitive. It is just a millstone, no different from an ordinary donkey.
After spending so much time, I finally made a big pile of garbage and laid it flat.
I threw away all the writing techniques that I had worked so hard to learn from the great writers, and randomly typed the beginning of this book. I sent it to the group and everyone thought it was good.
I sent it to the editor, and the editor said it was better than the previous introduction.
So, on the old track, the donkey seemed to be the brightest cub.
Although the track is small, I walked out of it by myself. I galloped all the way, as fast as lightning, with my donkey's hooves running fast, without any obstacles.
……——……——……
New track: (°°)つhelp tiredOld track:つ(☆▽☆)……——……——……
Okay, back to the topic, regarding the issue of high repetition, I have actually asked some old readers.
Many readers think that if they didn’t read enough of the previous book, they will still follow you if you write another one! In the previous book, there were indeed many things that were not well written, which caused many readers to give up halfway. I really feel sorry for everyone’s love.
Not seeing enough is a market demand.
There are many kinds of books, forming a relatively large category, such as entertainment, literary masters, game making, e-sports, rebirth of mobile phone making, stock trading, etc. It is impossible for this type of readers to just read one book and then stop, they will look for similar books.
Even in major categories such as fantasy and cultivation, the degree of repetition is actually quite high. With the development of online literature to this point, it is difficult to have major innovations.
It's good enough to put old wine in new bottles and not be out of date.
Pujie Yongyong's writing style is actually quite unique. Wandering, exploring the unknown and civilization, although it cannot be said to be unique, he can be regarded as a leader in this small track.
(To be honest, it’s not easy to emulate me. In fact, no one imitates me.) It’s a pity to abandon my own advantages and go to a bigger but more crowded track.
There is a small probability that it will go further, but the greater possibility is that it will fail again.
Therefore, I think the degree of repetition of this book will not be too great, because there are really not many books of this type, but there are many readers who like them.
(Although there are always readers who say that I have run out of ideas, it’s okay, let you guys criticize me. But don’t criticize me every day. If you fill up the book review area, I will delete it.) (Under normal circumstances, I don’t ban comments, but there are always some freeloaders who think that I owe them courtesy, so I’m sorry to say that I will just ban you all.)…
Another thing is the world view of this book.
The first tens of thousands of words are purely fast-paced and pretentious, with not much of the world view appearing. Everyone feels that Pangu Continent is like a game, but it is not.
The worldview of Pangu Continent has not yet been revealed, and only a few chapters before it was put on the shelves showed a little bit of it.
This world is horrible and civilization will become extinct.
Therefore, the innate conflict is greater than in the previous book.
Some readers think, after reading the beginning, that the best option is to quickly cancel the safe zone. This is wrong... Why did so many civilizations disappear?
The setting of the world has always been something I’m good at, but I have to admit that the setting is actually useless. How to fill the story is a more difficult point.
The previous book still had major flaws. The concept of the demon was too vague, not specific enough, and not real enough.
Coupled with some structural issues, the sense of crisis was more or less lost, which is one of the reasons why the later stage did not look good.
For this book, I learned from my mistakes and stitched in some settings from other excellent books, while adding some of my own settings to make the combat power as substantial as possible.
At the same time, compared with the previous book, you will witness more civilizations and pick up more garbage... After all, the protagonist doesn't even know which direction humans are in, so he has no idea where to go if he wants to go home.
Pick up the trash!
Of course, showing off is also essential for online writing.
The Eternal Donkey will think of a way to make the pretense more rounded, ahem... Of course, it is not possible at the moment, there are only some declining civilizations, and most of the civilizations have not come out yet.
Finally, there is the issue of issuing stabbings. As I promised at the end of my previous book, I would write a story that was as enjoyable as possible for everyone, so I will never issue stabbings in this book. My relatives and friends will not die of old age, and I will also think of a way to deal with the wolf, which has a limited life cycle.
So students who have questions in this regard, don’t worry, we won’t do anything fancy this time.
Tragedy is profound in its impact, while comedy is forgettable after watching. I think the family relationship in the previous book was well written, but it is a pity that it is not written in this book, but I hope everyone likes it.
…
…
Finally, let me explain the issue of science fiction again. Readers always ask me when I will write science fiction?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
You are so depraved, you eternal ass! I am sorry that I am not strong enough to write this.
There are many reasons. In the fragmented reading era, readers are actually becoming more and more impetuous. They often just read the beginning and put it down if they find nothing interesting.
This trend is quite obvious, and this is also the main reason why many book titles are getting longer and more gimmicky.
Our book is relatively restrained.
And now the starting point is the PK system, which depends entirely on follow-up reading.
For a new book, no matter whether it is written by a great writer or a newcomer, all of them will have to compete. Under the premise of equal exposure, whoever has better data will advance to the next round and continue the competition.
If the data is not good, I'm sorry, you didn't get exposure, and it flopped! Science fiction is not a good genre for attracting a lot of traffic.
"My wife is not at home, my sister-in-law is sleeping at my house tonight" and "The Big Bang of the Universe Tomorrow", which of these two topics do you watch? Don't tell me that you watch the latter, more people choose the former, this is the reality.
Moreover, the difficulty of the former story is much lower than that of the latter. Anyone can write a story about a sister-in-law, but how many people can make up a story about the Big Bang? Therefore, the science fiction channel is indeed becoming less and less popular. The traffic is all supported by a few great writers. When the great writers finish their stories, it is really unpopular.
Don’t say that the science fiction channel is all fantasy. With this little bit of traffic, it can still water the serious seedlings. If there is no traffic brought by fantasy books, then the science fiction channel will be no different from suspense reality, and it will be stagnant.
On the other hand, the interstellar science fiction I wrote before, to put it bluntly, was political writing mixed with a lot of personal opinions and a strong personal style.
As for keyboard politics, let me write it again and it’s still the same point of view, which seems very boring.
Unlike adventure stories, which can at least create more monsters, more powerful enemies, and some novelty.
If you output the ideas again, they will be exactly the same.
I have created what I think is the best society based on my imagination, so there is no need to create another one exactly like it.
Unless I find a better and more perfect society, I will write the next one. If not, it is better not to write.
…
Okay, after all that talk, that’s about it.
The journey is long, and the current listing is just a starting point, and the end is nowhere in sight.
During the process, you must be very careful and not make any mistakes.
But no matter what, Eternal Donkey also wants to have a good start.
I hope everyone can subscribe and support me!
