Chapter 122: Remarks on the Bookshelf

Dear readers, the book will be on the shelves at 12 noon tomorrow!

Ershe has been seeking change in recent years and wanted to write something new. His last book, "When it comes to matchmaking, I don't admit defeat to anyone," was a pioneer in professional matchmaking, and the results were pretty good. At the time, it had 30,000 collections and received 3,600 first orders. In less than a month, the average order reached 7,400, which can be said to be a very good start.

It's a pity that the rhythm was not well grasped in the early stage, and the protagonist took off too early. In the later stage, it was inevitable that there would be some aesthetic fatigue, and it ended up being a tiger's head with a whimper. The high subscription was 36,000, but the average subscription was only 8,000. It's really a pity.

However, although this book has many shortcomings in the later part, its early part is still very good, otherwise it would not have such a high subscription rate. Those who are interested can go and have a look.

In this book, the two snakes are also seeking change.

The protagonist is 44 years old when he first appears. Not only does he have seven children, but his eldest son is already of marriageable age. Then, half a year after the protagonist was reborn, he has already married his first daughter-in-law.

I don’t know if you have ever seen a protagonist like this, but I have never seen one.

In the words of my beautiful editor, middle-aged male protagonists are rare (referring to urban areas, excluding old monsters like those in fairy tales and fantasy that are tens of thousands of years old), and protagonists like me are even rarer.

When I wrote the beginning and showed it to the editor, she didn't make any comments and just approved it in one go, which showed that she was very optimistic about my book.

However, after the book was recommended, I found that such a book did not attract much attention at all...

It barely made it through two rounds of recommendations before I stopped recommending it due to insufficient follow-up reading, and that stop lasted for two weeks.

Most readers may not know what this means, but if colleagues see it, they will understand that this book is probably hopeless.

At that time, many of my author friends advised Ershe to give up, and Ershe also fell into self-doubt, but my editor was really optimistic about me and advised me not to give up in a hurry. He said that when the book was running wild, the number of readers had been slowly increasing, and maybe after 100,000 words, the book would improve after the big intelligent recommendation.

She said that if the book didn't improve by then, it wouldn't be too late to cut it.

With the encouragement of the editor, and Ershe's unwillingness to admit defeat.

Because Ershe did a lot of homework on this book, it would be a pity to cut it like this. When Ershe made his debut, he applied for a contract five times and was rejected, but he never gave up. He wrote a public version of 600,000 words before putting it on the shelves for a fee.

Giving up now after only a few tens of thousands of words is really not my style.

So, I insisted on writing it down.

As a result, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon has appeared. With the support of all the big guys, the performance of the book has been getting better and better. In the end, it not only successfully continued to be recommended, but even got the very rare recommendation of the small loudspeaker. Although the book still does not attract much traffic, it is much better than before.

Here, Ershe has to thank my beautiful editor Huya ^_^ Because I stopped recommending for two weeks, the number of words in the free version has reached 250,000 after completing the recommendation process.

This is naturally not a good thing for the author, but it is a good thing for all the readers, because compared to other books, you can get an extra 70,000 to 80,000 words for free ^_^

Up to now, Ershe has become more and more confident in this book, because the book has never been out of Ershe's control, and the stamina should be relatively strong, unlike the previous books which were all awesome in the early stages but weak in the later stages.

The main target group of this book is actually middle-aged and elderly people with more experience. In the words of my beautiful editor, it taps into the pleasure points of middle-aged readers, which young people will not be able to understand.

They are still at the age where they get excited even when washing their feet. Let them understand that life is indeed demanding!

The above are the original words of the beautiful editor ^_^ These two days, an author friend who debuted at the same time as me and is of similar age read my book and praised me a lot, saying that my book was so well written and that the writing style gave him a feeling of being told a story, which was very comfortable to read, but it was a bit of a waste of time.

He said he was trying to lose weight recently and used to only eat one meal a day, but after reading my book he became very hungry. He said the descriptions of the delicious food in my book were really good and made him very hungry every time he read it. As a result, he ate too much in the past two days...

Of course, no matter how good the reviews of a book are, it is useless. In the end, the results will speak for themselves.

Because the book does not attract a lot of people, so far, the collection is only about 18,000. Before it goes on the shelves tomorrow, it will probably have 19,000 collections. This is undoubtedly a big difference compared to the 30,000 collections of the previous book.

Every time a book is put on the shelves, there are always some big readers who choose to leave, and this is something that cannot be prevented.

But Ershe hopes that the big brother who is about to leave can give this book a friendly first order. It would be even better if he could vote for two monthly tickets before leaving!

And I believe that most of the big guys who have been able to follow until now are older people, and they should understand how difficult it is for a middle-aged man to support a family. Ershe is forty years old this year, with elderly parents and young children to take care of, and the whole family depends on this royalties to live.

If possible, please continue to subscribe and support us. I will be very grateful!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Next, let’s talk about updates.

Ershe's typing speed is notoriously slow in the author circle. In addition, after fifteen years of writing, he has had problems with his lumbar and cervical vertebrae for a long time, and his insomnia is extremely serious, so he definitely cannot achieve the same explosive growth as his peers.

And the big guys who have read this should know that Ershe’s cooking skills are pretty good. In addition to writing, he also has to cook and pick up the kids...

However, Ershe makes a promise to you guys here. If the first order of the book can break the 3,000 mark tomorrow, Ershe will not cook or take care of the children this month. He will just stay at home and write and write, leaving all the work to his wife (if the book has no results, he won’t mention it. If it has results, he will dare to say such tough words ^_^).

When the free version was in use, 4,000 words were updated every day. As long as there were 3,000 orders tomorrow, Ershe would try his best to update 8,000 words every day this month.

Finally, I would like to ask for monthly votes. Ershe has not asked for monthly votes from the big guys for a few days. We are already far behind in the monthly votes list for new books. Now that the new book is on the shelves, I hope the big guys can vote for two monthly votes to celebrate and give us a good start. Thank you! Finally, I wish you all good health and happy reading!
