A brief summary of Volume 4, "The Demon King"



First and foremost, let's celebrate that this volume is finally finished.

applaud!

Snap snap snap snap...

(wiping away tears)

Waaaaah!

This volume also took two months to write, totaling 250,000 words, just shy of 260,000 words, which was fairly well controlled.

First, before I begin my summary and analysis of this volume, let me first report on my personal mental and physical condition.

When in doubt, do a 3-check first.

At the end of the last volume, I said those were the two most difficult months of my writing career...

Now, I take back the words I spoke when I was young and ignorant.

So this is what life can be like—it can be even more painful!

Overall, the two months I spent writing this volume were the most anxious period of my life in the nearly two years I've been writing books.

It can be said that he was physically and mentally exhausted.

I looked at the data repeatedly, and then repeatedly felt pain under the cruel reality.

Maintaining a routine of checking data several times an hour for an extended period is a pathological condition.

But I wasn't completely desperate at first; I was waiting for a possible turning point.

【recommend】

Having already been featured on the trend indicator, it should theoretically receive even greater exposure as an editor's recommendation this time.

So, after being on the shelves for almost five months, and with the word count approaching one million!

I've finally received my second recommendation!

Just when I thought all my perseverance and patience were finally about to pay off, things turned out differently...

Well, I was told that the editor's recommendation wouldn't be included, so I got my second useless trend indicator recommendation.

Question:

"My score is over 1000, so why isn't it on the editor's picks list?"

The answer was:

"Because there aren't enough new additions."

Because for a long time I updated once a day, and many readers supported the new volume.

So at that time, even though I had an average of 1,000 subscriptions, the number of new subscribers was only around 1,000, or even less.

It seems reasonable, but there's no recommendation for it.

There was no other explanation, no alternative grace period, just a recommendation from a weather vane, which was basically a sign of pity for me.

happy.

Officially, no one can be blamed for this situation.

But still, I still feel uncomfortable.

I felt like I was actually quite ridiculous.

A dying person clings to a sliver of hope, hoping for a new recommendation that might save them, but in the end, they receive nothing.

I know that even with recommendations, it might not be enough to save him.

So, it really takes a good beating to understand what this bleak reality of life is like?

This outcome has caused some mental damage to my will.

(Dark, crawling...)

Starting with this volume, I adjusted the update schedule.

It's just a new addition, isn't it?

Okay, I'll change it, alright?

The update was changed from one 4,000-word update per day to two 2,000-word updates per day.

The overall word count remained the same, but readers felt that the word count actually increased.

However, such a low update frequency is a devastating blow to my average subscription rate.

New orders didn't increase, but average subscriptions dropped very quickly, plummeting.

It started at around 1,100 moving averages, but has now completely fallen below 1,000 moving averages!

Hahaha, hiccup.

No matter how much I say I don't care about this outcome, I still feel anxious.

Pain, anxiety, low self-esteem, and then self-denial.

They are usually busy with work, and only when no one is looking do they secretly type in the office.

When I got home at night, I was so exhausted that my mind went blank and I couldn't type anything. But I couldn't fall asleep either, and I finally managed to drift off to sleep around 2 a.m.

At its worst, for a period of time I could only sleep four or five hours a day, and I was like a zombie.

To be honest, it's quite uncomfortable.

But anyway, that's how it was, that's how it was, and I made it through in the end.

First, I asked a colleague who was on vacation back home to bring me some melatonin, and with the addition of tranquilizers, I've been able to fall asleep around 10:30 pm now. (It's been almost two weeks.)

After finally unable to hold back any longer and discussing it with many kind elders, I finally realized that I was obsessively concerned about data to an unhealthy degree.

So, on their advice...

I started to give up.

Since it's already fallen below 1000, and everyone likes to nurture their reading experience, the number of new book downloads isn't likely to change suddenly...

To hell with the data, I'm not looking at it anymore!

I haven't opened that data page for three or four days.

Feeling refreshed...

I felt truly refreshed; a large part of the unnecessary stress disappeared, and I definitely felt much more relaxed.

I can say that although there is no sign of the book's performance being salvaged, my physical and mental health is gradually improving.

During this time, I would first like to thank the Alliance Leader, the Sect Leader, and all the other leaders. Your generous donations have truly overwhelmed me; I never expected to receive such support.

Of course, I also want to thank all the readers who support the official subscription. It is your interaction that makes me feel like I am not playing a single-player game.

I am deeply grateful for your kindness and support, which has allowed me to get to this point.

Although!

My writing fees dropped by almost a thousand yuan this month, successfully bringing them down to about one-fifth of what I earn from my regular job. (Laughs)

But I will continue to write.
