Chapter 49: Remarks on the Launch

It will be on the shelves at 0 o'clock. I hope everyone can support it. Please subscribe and give me a monthly pass. Thank you all!

This book was started seamlessly after The Richest Man finished it. It has been updated with 270,000 words in the 20 days since it was released on the 10th. Although there are still readers who have been urging me to read it and say they can't get enough, the speed is really fast.

Now Qidian has many books with 150,000 to 60,000 words on the shelves. Although I only have a 20-day public period, I still wrote as many free chapters as possible with 100,000 words.

In fact, doing this is relatively disadvantageous, because everyone who knows the industry knows that the further forward the chapter is, the more subscriptions it has. For the same 100,000 words, the number of subscribers for the 100,000 words just released may be five or six times that of the last 100,000 words. After all, Everyone reads it from front to back. As readers naturally lose, or many readers see the number of words and then run to pirated copies, so in the end there are not many readers who can get the most complete copy.

I still write more. On the one hand, it is to give back to the old readers. On the other hand, I try to maintain 10,000 words per day to give readers who are following me a good reading experience. The most important point is that I feel that the public chapters are at least We need to spread out all the stalls so that everyone can roughly understand the framework of the entire story and guess the general content afterward.

If the public chapter doesn't even lay out the world view, it would be a bit uninspiring.

The result is that there are much more. I didn’t consider the plot of the story at all, and it happened to fall into a turning plot, which was a bit awkward.

However, I feel that a long novel can easily have five to six million words, and it doesn’t make a big difference whether the published chapters fall within the range of 200,000 or 300,000 words. Once the plot is on the shelves, there will still be normal twists and plots, and there will still be a natural loss of readers, it’s all the same.

The key is to consider it as a whole, and the plot content should be consistent and maintain the established level.

Many people think that the beginning is a bit similar to the richest man, and then they feel that the beginning is not as good as the richest man. Let me explain this briefly. It is normal to have this kind of thinking, but it is not the case.

It's a bit like I deliberately placed this small part of the plot in the early stage mainly around the company and the experience store, mainly to reduce the reader's sense of alienation from this strange world, and start from these places that are more closely related to the real world, and then Only then can we gradually expand the setting of the worldview. If it were thrown into an unfamiliar environment right from the beginning, most readers would probably be too confused.

It is because of the environment at the beginning that everyone feels that they are similar to the richest man. After all, they are all in the company. However, as the plot unfolds, the personalities of the two people will still be obviously different.

As for the beginning being not as good as the richest man, that's normal. It would be strange if the beginning was better than the richest man, because you always have to worry about the early and late stages.

The beginning of The Richest Man did not consider the writing style at all in the middle and later stages. It has a very familiar and immersive urban background, plus several very fast-paced twists and turns, as well as some common plots in daily life and the workplace. In a short time, it can be understood Achieve very good results.

However, the direct problem caused by this writing method is that it is more painful to write in the middle and later stages, and it is difficult to get more comfortable, and there is no good material available.

I also said it in the final remarks of the richest man. Conventional urban themes are popular in the early stage and then become less popular in the later stage. This is the consequence that you have to bear if you choose the writing method in the early stage. The way to solve this problem is to expand the breadth and depth of the worldview. Only when the worldview becomes complex can we continue to improve it and make it more interesting for readers.

But a new problem that arises from this is that since you have created a new worldview, it must be roughly laid out in the early stage. You cannot say that if you write about the city in the first place, then suddenly it becomes science fiction after 500,000 or 600,000 words, that will definitely not work. , so we have to lay out this worldview in the early stage and let readers accept this setting. Only after we have this foundation can we continue to lay out the plot.

And letting readers understand some of the setting processes will definitely seem a bit boring and tedious. But once the plot is laid out, the various accumulated plots in the middle and later stages can explode one after another, giving readers a more satisfying feeling.

This is a bit like setting up a stage for singing. The higher the stage is, the more people it will attract in the end. But if others sing directly without setting up a stage, they will definitely take away all the people in front of you. If you set up a stage, you will only be able to wait until the middle and late stages to really exert your strength.

Therefore, it is normal that the beginning of this book is not as fast as the richest man. It is in line with objective laws and completely within my expectations. My goal is that this book will be steadily improved from beginning to end. One plot must be better than the previous one, and this keeps stacking up. Try to catch up with the richest man when you have two to three million words, and then gradually surpass him.

As for the structure of this book, it is larger than The Richest Man, at least 5 million words. The specific length will depend on the natural development of the plot later.

Of course, I have also said that the solution to all problems is to write faster. If the rhythm is slower, you can solve it by writing faster. So don’t worry, I believe this book will get better and better as time goes by.

It was updated normally on the day it was put on the shelves. Because the book was opened seamlessly, the public chapter was updated by 270,000 in 20 days. There was still work to be done on settings and outlines, so there was definitely nothing left to save.

In this case, if there are still manuscripts saved, wouldn't it be...

Pretty normal?

Okay, I’m just kidding, there are archives of manuscripts, so how could it be possible that the author didn’t archive them when he listed them?

Four chapters will be updated at 0 o'clock, and one chapter will be updated at 10 o'clock.

It’s not a chapter of 2,000 words, not a chapter of 3,000 words, nor a chapter of 5,000 words, but a chapter of 10,000 words, friends.

That is, 40,000 words will be updated at 0:00 tonight, and another 10,000 words will be updated at 10:00, and the subsequent updates will still be fixed at 10:00 in the morning.

As for the number of updates after the release, I try to maintain between 12,000 and 15,000, which means that the daily update is a large chapter of 10,000 words, and there will be another large chapter of 10,000 words every three to five days.

So, you don’t have to keep it, just start killing! I said that the quantity is large and you will be full, and I will definitely not let you go hungry.

Finally, I ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and subscriptions. See you at 0:00!
