Beastmaster: I can even cultivate gods and demons!.
Chapter 39 Remarks on the launch
Chapter 39 Remarks on the launch
After hanging out outside for a few years, I came back to Qidian.com to write a book, and it will finally be on the shelves tomorrow (Friday).
As per convention, it seems that you have to write a thank you note for the listing.
Most of the testimonials I’ve seen on the launch of a product before were about pity.
This makes me conflicted...
Firstly, the novel "Beast Tamer" is based on a light-hearted, funny and bizarre style, and then unfolds a grand and majestic fantasy world. I am worried that selling misery will destroy this atmosphere... What I want is for readers to enjoy reading it, and my friends are happy to read it. Suddenly, a post selling misery pops up when the novel is put on the shelves. Isn't that too disgusting?
Second, when people reach middle age, they are miserable and sad. They dare not play the victim because it is too miserable... Poor people do not want others to know that they are poor, and miserable people are the same.
So, after thinking it over and over again, I decided to just sort out my experiences over the past few years.
After all, this experience is closely related to writing novels and cannot be avoided.
After watching this and comparing the two, perhaps you will be able to cherish your current peace and happiness more?
The nightmare started when I started my business in 09...
Before starting my own business, I worked part-time on software while working at my job. In the year before I started my own business, I earned $190,000 from software sales.
In 08, I worked part-time to make extra money, and I felt very happy to earn so much.
But the work was not going well and my ambition started to grow, so I started a business (Never start a business easily! Never start a business! Never start a business!).
What did I do in my first business venture? Simply put, I opened a company, bought gold coins earned by domestic players in a game, and then sold them to foreigners... Many readers will definitely feel familiar with this, because earning gold in games is still popular today.
In the early stages, we did make a little money.
But soon, the game began to ban gold coin transactions on a large scale, and then as a middleman, this kind of thing started happening... After purchasing 5 gold coins from players, the account was blocked.
The money turned into ashes.
There were no bubbles at all.
How to do this?
With no other choice, he transformed his business and started trading in luggage.
After a period of hard work, things got on the right track and started to make money, but for various reasons, sales suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
Finally, we couldn't hold on any longer and moved from the city to the suburbs to save costs (we should have done so earlier).
In order to recover funds, the women's bags made for 85 yuan were sold in batches to those who collected inventory, 20 yuan each... 1000 bags were sold out at a time. The inventory of millions could not be sold for much money, and my heart was bleeding.
During the most difficult time, we couldn’t even pay the rent, and we still had a pile of goods.
In the end, my wife went to her father-in-law and borrowed 5000 yuan for emergency assistance.
That was my darkest moment…
I had no money and dared not hire anyone, so I had to do all the work by myself. Business was obviously not good, but there was always work to do every day... Because my wife was pregnant and both of our parents were not here, I had to take care of my wife by myself while trying desperately to make money.
During that time, I felt like a walking corpse.
But I know that I can’t fall, I absolutely can’t fall!
If it collapses, what will happen to my wife, my children, and the elderly at home?
I gritted my teeth and held on...
After two failed business ventures, he owed a lot of foreign debt and was deeply hurt. It took him many years to recover.
I managed to hold on until 2014, when I started to get involved in the online literature industry (I had read countless novels since I was a child, but had never written a novel).
In my opinion, making money by writing novels while doing business is like having another way to make money.
The first goal I set for myself was to earn more than 3000 yuan a month from my first novel, because that was the monthly salary for a better job in my city at the time (2014).
As long as the royalties from the book can reach more than 3000 yuan a month, I will feel that it is a success.
And if it is stable, it will solve my urgent problem.
Fortunately, the first book reached its goal very quickly, and although there were many twists and turns in the middle, they were nothing.
Moreover, it will be launched soon.
With my performance at that time, if I got recommended, my monthly royalties would easily exceed ten thousand yuan. I was very much looking forward to it and very excited...After two failed business ventures, I hadn't made so much money in a long time.
What's more, I'm still a complete newcomer in the online literature circle. I'm very happy and satisfied to have achieved this level.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the entire online literature world began to purge pornography.
I am not afraid, because what I write is traditional fantasy, not some petty theft novel.
As a result, the website where my novel was published was shut down, and even the server was shut down... shut down... what the hell...
God really knows how to joke.
He didn't hit me with a club. Instead, he stood in front of me and hit me with a club, causing my head to bleed. Then he sneered and walked away.
There was no choice but to leave. At the invitation of a friend, I opened a fantasy novel "The Strongest War Emperor" on Chuangshi (QQ Reading) and continued to charge forward.
My performance kept improving, and my royalties in the first month almost exceeded ten thousand yuan. I felt like my second spring had finally arrived.
I no longer thought about other things. I worked hard on my business and wrote, immersed in the fantasy world I had created. This also allowed me to temporarily forget the pain of failed entrepreneurship.
The book "The Strongest War Emperor" has 540 million words and is the best book I have ever written.
Although there are certainly various unsatisfactory aspects, it is indeed a work that has been painstakingly done and in which the author is completely immersed in emotions... I have always felt that when an author is immersed in emotions, the novel will have spirit, and a novel with spirit will not be too bad no matter what.
But the reason I chose to complete the book with more than 540 million words was still related to my own financial situation... Because I was burdened with debt, I wanted to earn more and I really needed money.
So, I wrote a book outside and it was bought out at a good price.
My ideal situation at that time was to write a new book, get the buyout money, and then have a lot of royalties from the completed "The Strongest War Emperor"... With these two books combined, although I can't compare with the masters, I am already very satisfied.
If this situation continues for a year or two, my life will change completely.
Tragedy strikes again, and the f*cking sweep begins again...
Dear readers, after reading this, you will probably go crazy... Just sweep the emperor, it has nothing to do with you, isn’t this a fantasy?
It is fantasy, a very pure fantasy, so pure that I didn't even dare to write the word "bed". When the protagonist is practicing, he either sits on a stool or on the ground.
The protagonist is so pure that in the finale he becomes the supreme being, controlling time, space, past and future, but he is still a virgin.
She is so pure that when I write the word 赤倮倮, I have to use a single radical, and readers will point it out and say it is a typo.
Even so, there is still no escape... If this kind of words appear in a book, for example, level 3, if 3 is replaced by three, the word will become **, and if there are too many such words, this chapter will be blocked.
If too many chapters are blocked, a book will be taken off the shelves and cannot be viewed outside.
I was screwed now. The book was selling well in many channels and I was very happy to receive the royalties after it was completed. But suddenly, everything was gone, just like a cliff.
A book with more than 540 million words took several years to write and continued to make money after it was completed. Now it’s gone just like that.
That’s fantasy!
I really hate those guys who write petty imperial articles.
They made the money and walked away, but they dragged me, who write fantasy novels, into a cesspool from which there is no escape!
You can't avoid them wherever you go.
They will drag you down wherever you go!
But what can we do? "The Strongest War Emperor" was finally released, but its peak period has passed. It can't be found on many channels. Even if it is found, there is no recommendation...
Okay, I’ve finished complaining.
As time goes by, although I have accomplished nothing, I have finally gotten out of the nightmare and the darkest moment.
Business is just average now, with off-seasons and peak seasons. At least I can eat and save some money.
Now that I have started this new book, I am not dissatisfied with the results. PK has not received any major recommendations such as "Three Rivers" and "Strongly Recommended", but for now, I can still continue writing...
Some authors simply give up on starting a new book if the results don’t meet the standards.
What I do is to write steadily until I reach the target after I see a slight upward trend!
Moreover, before I started writing the book, the editor Lu Ming helped me to read the beginning and control the direction of the plot; after I started writing the book, he kept helping me to keep an eye on the data and help me to arrange the recommendations... To be honest, it is not easy to meet a good editor when writing a novel, and I feel very fortunate to have such an enthusiastic editor.
Then, I think as an author, all that’s left is for me to write well and write the plot well.
Editor Lu Da also comforted me, telling me to take it step by step and not to think too much.
So I put aside many messy thoughts and wanted to concentrate on writing this book, to write it well, to write it long, and to write it excitingly.
This book was published on September 9.3rd. Today is 42 days and it has more than 25 words. It is finally going to be put on the shelves.
The total word count of the outline and other materials of this book is probably more than 25 words, so readers don’t need to worry about suddenly finding that it is not updated one day...
Now I just want to write with peace of mind, immerse myself in the plot, and use a light-hearted, funny, weird and passionate style to construct the fantasy world in my mind and write about the characters with different personalities in my mind.
If you burst out laughing or smile knowingly while watching, I will feel that I have succeeded;
If you feel your blood boiling while watching, and want to enter this fantasy world, fight and play with the characters in it, I will feel that I have succeeded;
If you can't forget the characters and plots after reading them, and start to hate me for updating slowly, I will also feel that I have succeeded... Of course, I will definitely work hard to write more and update more.
In addition, in fact, in the background of the Writer Assistant, I often noticed that many reader friends hardly commented, but they voted every day, or quietly rewarded... I even remembered the nicknames of many book friends.
Thank you very much, thank you for your silent attention, silent reading, and silent support.
