Testimonials on shelves (this chapter is not a VIP chapter)

"The Unlimited Base of the Heavens" will be released today.

In fact, this book has gone through a lot of ups and downs before finally getting to where it is today. I believe there are some readers who came from the previous "The Mechanic of Infinite Legend" and know what the mechanic went through.

In fact, the results of "The Mechanic" were not bad when it was put on the shelves that year. 18,000 collections were put on the shelves, and the average subscription was 880 on the first day, about one subscription for every 20 people. However, this ratio has been increasing since then, until the last 130,000 collections, the average order is only about 1500, which is equivalent to 100 to 1.

This number is actually quite desperate, but I have been reflecting on it. When I was writing "The Mechanic", I was a new one, and I touched a lot of minefields in the early stage.

But even so, "The Mechanic" has touched the threshold of a boutique. In 2017, the plot happened to be "Borderland". At that time, it was recommended on the homepage of the mobile terminal, and the results were very good. As a result, it was blocked on the day the recommendation just ended, and it was released after a month or two, and three-quarters of the subscriptions dropped directly.

If it weren't for the encouragement of readers and friends, this book would not have been written at that time, but I persisted and wrote more than 5.7 million words.

Then in 2019, the plot of "Star Wars" was widely praised by everyone, and the subscriptions continued to increase from around 1200 to 1500, and then it was blocked again. This time, it hasn't come out since July until now.

Every time I talk about this matter, I always have the urge to cry deep in my heart. But to continue...

Because I love writing books.

When I was in elementary school, I went to a neighbor’s elder brother’s house to play, and saw him playing a game of flying in space, and I was fascinated by the grand picture at that time. Afterwards, I often found various reasons to go to his house, and as a result, this brother's parents started to bother me.

I found out later that the game is called "Galaxy Flying Generals", and readers who know this game probably have exposed their age.

After that, I started to write a novel in my homework book called "Out of the Galaxy". I wrote tens of thousands of words, but I couldn't write any more. But thinking about it later, a student who just entered junior high school can write an article of tens of thousands of words, I think I was pretty awesome at that time.

So writing has become one of my hobbies. Although I haven't written a long novel, I have written many fragments or short stories.

So I have always had such a dream in my heart, the dream of writing a book.

In fact, for writing a book, the greatest sense of accomplishment lies in the process of presenting your own values ​​to readers and then resonating with them. I enjoy this very much.

Later, after reading many books, I realized, ah, it turns out that writing books can also make money, so can I give it a try? When I think about it, I already have a family. But I started writing in my spare time, and this is "The Mechanic of Infinite Legend".

In fact, did "The Mechanic" make money? There must be. But compared to the workload of at least 6,000 words per day, the income of 3,5000 a month is not high, it can only be said to be worthy of my fingers and head. But I really enjoy the process of writing a book, and I feel extremely satisfied with every comment from readers, whether it is good or bad.

So I'm going to go ahead.

After "The Mechanic" was blocked, I tried to transform and wrote an urban book, but I found that my style could not be accepted by urban readers, so I deleted it.

Later, I wrote a Cthulhu-style book, yes, it is still under my name, with a hundred thousand words, "The Last God". In fact, I like that world view very much, so although this book hit the street, I still can't bear to delete it. I only hope that when I have the ability to control this worldview in the future, I can express what this book wants to express. Of course, this is a later story.

Next is this book, "The Infinite Base of the Heavens". In fact, this book was not originally called this name, it was called "Infinite Legend: Ruin God of War". However, due to the wrong rhythm in the early stage, many readers were unable to bring into the plot, so the previous article was changed a lot, and the name was also changed, and then it can come to the present.

In fact, sometimes I feel that my writing style is still too rigid. For example, I really can’t write the fast food essays that are more accepted now. Because whenever I move the pen, it is always heavier. Why is it heavy? I think maybe I think too much sometimes, too comprehensive.

I think about a lot of things when I write a book, just like the "Star Wars" chapter of "The Machinist" before. The reason why so many people like it is because I put in more effort. How much information I have consulted and how many settings have been turned over is beyond everyone's imagination.

And in order to bring myself into that environment, my whole life is almost filled with the BGM of "Star Wars". It can be said that during those few months, I myself was a person living in the world of "Star Wars".

In fact, this kind of style, you can also experience it in the opening chapter of "Resident Evil". I definitely didn't know a little about the world and then started writing as soon as I slapped my head. I must have a deep understanding of this worldview before I write.

So I can't write about fast food because I know so much about these worlds that I don't want to scratch the surface. I prefer to convey what I got from it to everyone, so it is destined not to be soon.

This runs counter to the fast-travel style of solving a world in chapters 2 and 30, and it may be destined to be niche.

compromise? Still thought about it, actually tried it, but failed.

Why did it fail? Because I am not myself anymore, I don’t like what I write, can readers like it?

So in the end, I decided to return to my original path and write about what I like the most and what I am best at. I believe that what I write can be accepted and liked by people. Even if there are not many people, it will make me realize that what I write is valuable.

Now "The Unlimited Base of the Heavens" is about to hit the shelves, but I am actually extremely terrified in my heart. real.

Because "The Mechanic of Infinite Legend" can go to Sanjiang and can be pushed on the homepage, but this book, which was rescued from the street, does not have such treatment. That's right, this book is just a grassroots and dick right now.

So I was really scared, afraid that the grades of this book would completely collapse, and that the grades were so bad that I couldn't continue. Because if that's the case, maybe I will lose a lot of things. Maybe I'll compromise, maybe I'll change, but I don't want to. I firmly believe that my persistence is valuable, so I can only watch all this with the mentality of walking on eggshells.

As the second hand moves forward bit by bit, the time to judge me is getting closer and closer, I hope it can continue... I don't want to ask for a first order, I just want to see the most authentic results.

Give me an answer.
