Say a Few Things + Follow-Up

This book has almost reached 1 million words so far. I have to tell you that the average subscription is 700, which is very stable. It is neither falling nor rising. Well, it is a third-rate flop.

During the new book period, I was tricked by my peers. Although the editor still chose to believe me, the trial PK was cancelled and the book was put on the shelves without any evidence.

Later, the editor said that the performance was too poor and suggested that I cut it off and start a new book. I said I wanted to try to put it on the shelves. After all, it is not easy to write until now.

Then, it was put on the shelves without any evidence with 300,000 words and 10,000 collections, and the first subscription was 332.

I said before that I would continue to write if there were 300 first subscriptions. Friends from all walks of life supported me. If there were 300 first subscriptions, I would continue to write, and I have been writing until now.

I don’t want to mention such hindsight words as “If there is a PK, the performance of this book will be so and so, and it will be much better than now”. It’s boring.

At that time, it was my fault for being young. I admitted it and the matter was over.

I thought that I had been writing books for almost two years, and I should be making more progress as I wrote. I didn’t expect that I was getting worse as I wrote.

The last book had 900 average subscriptions after it was completed, and this one currently has 700 average subscriptions.

The last book had a maximum of 800,000 words and was free, and more than 1 million words were available on all channels. This book currently has 980,000 words, and it has not even been free on WeChat.

I know that if my grades are poor, the editor will not take care of me like last time, and I understand that, so I never ask the editor for recommendations, because I don’t want to make it difficult for the editor.

The editor is just a screw on the confidential machine of Yuewen, and if he doesn’t do a good job, he will be replaced. So I, who also works, understand the difficulties and never cause trouble for the editor.

The last incident has already made the editor very passive.

So in this case, the future of this book can actually be seen, the ceiling is already there, and no matter what, it is still 700 average subscriptions.

I am not saying this to be pitiful, but I think that I have been writing books for two years and have written two books, and neither of them has reached 1,000 average subscriptions, one with 900 and the other with 700.

I have seen many books with 3,000 average subscriptions, 7,000/8,000 average subscriptions signed long-term contracts, and even tens of thousands of subscriptions, tens of thousands of average subscriptions signed great god contracts, platinum contracts, and I am very ashamed. I didn't expect that you were just a dead loser who never reached 1,000 average subscriptions.

When I first entered the industry, I thought I was not the kind of guy who had high aspirations but low skills, always thinking about becoming a god with one book. My goal was not high, and 1,000 average subscriptions was very good.

But now it seems that even this small goal is difficult for me to achieve.

However, I have a good mentality and am not the kind of person who "blames society for poverty". I admit that I am not strong enough. If I am not strong enough, I can commit suicide. Life must go on.

Okay, I won't complain anymore, and talk about the following arrangements.

Everyone says that Lin Dong's story has only been written for 400 chapters, which is too short. I think it is indeed too little, so I will write more.

Then I will go to the world and write the story of Lin Dong's fame in the world.

The story of Wu Zu is actually not easy to write. Why?

For example, Emperor Yan has more than a dozen deeds in the universe, so I expanded my last book to 600,000 words based on these deeds, which was very easy.

However, Wu Zu has only two or three deeds in the universe, which is too few, and it can't be expanded to 100,000 words.

My plan is this:

I will first look through the plot of the Great Lord to see if I can make up a complete story about Lin Dong, just like the Great Lord chapter of Emperor Yan in the previous book.

If I can make it, then I will open another Great Lord chapter of Wu Zu, and write it from beginning to end.

If I really can't make it, then I will just write a 20-30 chapter extra chapter, that is, write about several deeds of Wu Zu separately.

For example, the extra chapter of Tu Dou about Wu Zu's disturbance of the Ice Spirit Clan seems to be eunuch, I can try to complete it and write a short story.

If I really can't think of a complete story outline and choose to write short stories one by one, I hope you won't complain about me.

Because my originality is not good, I will be a failure, otherwise I would not come to write fan fiction. If I have this ability, why don’t I write original works, get a lot of royalties, and have the copyright in hand, right? (Laugh, I am afraid I am dreaming~)

I am just a third-rate writer who is getting worse and worse, and can only write third-rate writers with an average subscription of 700. I hope you can understand this and don’t force me too much.

I will try my best to come up with a complete outline, I can only say that I will try my best, because I don’t know it myself at the moment.

I originally thought of taking a day off tomorrow to redesign the outline, but many friends advised me not to stop updating, which would hurt my popularity.

Because my last book was like this, when I finished writing the plot of Doupo, everyone asked me to continue writing the plot of Dazhuzai, but I forgot the plot of Dazhuzai, so I had to reread it and redesign the outline. I said I would take seven days off, and everyone remembered to wait for me.

I promised it well, but when I came back, I found that all the readers had left, emmm......

But later I insisted on finishing the book, which I have to praise.

So, if I keep updating and write the Great Lord chapter tomorrow, I can only use tonight to redesign the outline.

I wonder if one night is enough? I always feel that designing an outline is a very difficult and trivial thing, and it can't be done in a few days.

Ah, headache, slow work makes fine work.

If I can't get it done tonight, I can only take a day off tomorrow and update the day after tomorrow.

Don't worry, if I have to take a day off tomorrow, I will send a single chapter in advance to inform you.

I will try to finish it tonight and update it tomorrow. I always think that you will be like the readers of the previous book, who promised to wait for me to come back, but found that they all ran away...

That's all.
