Rebirth begins with losing the white moonlight

Acknowledgments and Apologies

Yesterday I woke up and picked up my phone. I saw that 8:16 was Shen Wanning's birthday.

I don’t know why there is such a coincidence. Maybe I love the character I depict so much that I am a bit obsessed with it.

Then I got up as usual, completed a report, and it turned out great.

It can be regarded as completing a small goal set a few years ago. Let us congratulate Jiefen Yueli here. Of course, we must also praise everyone's vision for falling in love with such an excellent author.

The last two sentences are a joke.

Frankly speaking, I am not a professional, let alone a qualified author.

This book has already written 97 words. This is something I did not expect at all, because at the beginning I just wanted to share some of my own stories.

So before the 8000-word mark, the book had no outline at all. I didn’t take the time to understand the market, let alone study the rankings, and I wouldn’t attract traffic to the book.

Don't ask me again why I don't run this book. This question is like someone asking you why you didn't take the Tsinghua University exam when you were a student. Is it really because you don't want to?

Originally, I planned to keep writing as I pleased, but the story soon took a turn.

I had just finished publishing Chapter 4 that day, and I received a message from an editor in the background, saying that the book had met the signing criteria, and also provided a contact information.

6.

This was my first reaction. In my opinion, this is really a very interesting thing.

Because at that time, I didn’t understand the professional terminology of “internal investment” at all, and I didn’t understand any editorial team or editor at all. But since someone said that I could sign a contract, I signed with him, which was considered to have brought me a A new experience and try.

Ding, the copy mission has been updated——

[Become an excellent online novel author]

It was at this time that I started to write an outline and began to adjust the storyline to reduce the content. After all, this novel has transformed from "my story" to an "online literary work", so I can no longer completely copy my own plot.

In fact, I have always found it strange why many readers think that I am a professional author, and some readers ask me what I have written before, as if I have been in this industry for many years.

Let me clarify here, my best record is that I serialized a Lily novel on a female channel website on the eve of the college entrance examination when I was 16 years old. But it has been many years since I graduated from college. This kind of youthful frivolity should not count, right?

After seeing this, some people may say: This is getting more and more ridiculous. Even Lily novels have come out. Do you think I will believe what you, a bad man, say? The equally divided moonlight is teasing us again.

Then let me clarify again here that the above sentences are all true. If they are false, I am willing to lose all readers overnight and let the collection of this book go to zero.

So I should make it very clear that I was really not a professional author at first, but I became more and more professional during the writing process of this book.

How do you become professional? On the one hand, I integrated many of my own actual experiences and storylines, and on the other hand, I also consulted a large amount of information in order to write down every detail that may seem insignificant to readers.

Two days ago, I said in the reader group (group 40, on the home page) that since I started writing this novel, my computer has always had two browsers and more than web pages, because I am a perfectionist, and This kind of person usually pays great attention to details.

So when I write about Gaoligong Mountain, I try to understand the local altitude and topography; when I write about Yunnan’s coffee beans, I try to understand which variety it belongs to and its suitable climate; I even write about the “intercropping method” where grapefruit can be grown because of this place. It’s really possible to grow grapefruit.

Of course there are many more, so I won’t list them all here.

What do I want to express by saying these words? Of course, it’s not to brag about myself, I’m just trying to make a few excuses to the people who love me——

I admit that updates are slow, but I have always had my own standards for writing books;

On days when I am not updating, what I am doing must be of great significance;

Although I write slowly, I have never failed to write, and I can honestly say that every chapter I publish is worthy of readers;

I am also very confident that all the historical backgrounds and business partners involved in this novel will not be able to find very obvious bugs.

Good things need to be polished, and polishing something takes time.

Although this is not necessary for most "fast food literature", I still choose to do it and will always do it because I am a perfectionist.

In fact, it is really easy for me to "update for the sake of updating", because this novel has a larger world view than other works of the same type, and each supporting character is relatively well-drawn.

In this case, just pulling out a supporting character can produce 30,000 to 50,000 words. I can also arrange some slap-in-the-face plots that use no brainers, but I feel that doing so will ruin my carefully polished work, and I am also sorry. My own conscience.

Of course, this idea also has very obvious drawbacks.

For example, if a book is about logic, it will take a lot of time to lay the groundwork. If an author cares more about the rationality of the story, it will take a lot of time to review the information and conceive the plot.

So my updates will indeed be slow, so slow that many readers start to buy books or even abandon them. This also causes the traffic of this book, which is not much, to continue to decline. As I said, it is already difficult to get any good ones. Recommended.

In fact, I feel that saying this is not appropriate enough, because it is not just that I cannot get any good recommendations, but that this book has never had any good recommendations.

It is not a promising work, because it does not cater to the market enough, so in the eyes of some people it is not enough to attract large traffic. This also led to the fact that before it had 17 words, it did not even have a chance to be recommended. This also makes it impossible to search, and the collection is only a few hundred. If it were not for an author who is not "professional", it must have died a long time ago.

One wrong move, and everything goes wrong.

The traffic of a book is like the "snowball" mentioned in the book. Those missed in the early stage are difficult to make up for in the later stage through hard work.

The only good thing is that this book finally attracted some readers whose souls resonate with mine.

Like me, they don't talk much, so our readership is very quiet most of the time. There are also many people who have never posted a chapter review or paragraph review, but I can often see them in the monthly ticket rankings.

I would like to express my most sincere thanks to you, because the same thirty-four monthly tickets may allow you to be called "big brother" by many people in the comment areas of some popular books; the same monthly ticket worth tens of thousands of starting coins Rewards can also help you gain more popularity and be known or surrounded by more readers.

But my readers didn't. They chose to support me in this silent way. Although they and I didn't speak much, we should be able to see each other's thoughts.

"If you can get some warmth and touch from this book, it will not violate my original intention of working hard to create it."

Any regrets? some.

As I said in the reader group: It's my fault that more people don't like Shenlu.

I once said that when I write a book, I don’t care too much about grades, because an author who cares about grades cannot write 30 words while using love to generate electricity. There is no doubt about this.

But as the story developed, and as I fell more and more in love with the characters I created, and I truly assumed the role of an "author," my mentality became more or less unbalanced.

I began to think about a question over and over again: Why didn't anyone celebrate Shen Wanning's birthday? Why can't Lu Chen have a Q version of his avatar? Is it their fault? No.

She obviously has a background that everyone envies and has the status of a eldest lady who is loved by thousands of people, but she is still kind and considerate, sincere and grateful. She is full of Lu Chen and is willing to dedicate everything to People you like. What's wrong with her?

As for him, he has the greatest advantage of rebirth, with an innate God's perspective, but he is willing to lead everyone around him to move up together, letting those "should be mediocre supporting characters" shine with their own light, And when he finally got over his last failed relationship experience, he was still willing to believe in love and give love.

Where did he go wrong?

So I came to the conclusion that it was my fault.

And I also told readers this in the group.

I insisted on spending hundreds of thousands of words to pave the way for the business line in the early stage, just to achieve what is reasonable from my personal perspective;

It’s also because I couldn’t go against my own three views, so I arranged many plots in the story that, although subdued, can make people intuitively feel “refreshing”.

So even my friends advised me: Stop writing.

Do you know what the audience for this type of article likes to read? You don’t really think that most people can relate to what you write like this, do you?

Yes, I know most people can't relate to it, but at least I watched it from beginning to end several times and I feel very comfortable.

It's just that the "comfort" I pursue may, to a large extent, slow down the two characters, Lu Chen and Shen Wanning, from shining.

I'm sorry, and I also want to extend my most sincere apology to my CP.

As I write this, I still want to thank the readers who have spoken in the second group these past two days.

They really love me so much that even if they realize that I may really have some wishes that I can no longer write due to practical factors, they still try their best to support me.

I said: I originally planned to be scolded by you today and then shut down.

They said: If it were not for life, who would give up the role he has created with all his heart?

There are many, many long paragraphs of text that I have studied carefully. If I could only summarize them in five words, they would be "believe in me" and "love me".

There was even a reader who sent a thousand-word testimonial in the early morning, but his first reaction in the early morning was to apologize.

In fact, I really want to say that you don't need to apologize.

If it weren't for many readers like you, this book might not have been continued.

Although I love these two characters very much, I know the development and ending of their stories.

The reason why I continue to write is because I don’t want to leave you with regrets. It is the “Sacred Deer” who brought us together, and if their stories really make you “draw strength and become brave”, I will write this book It makes sense.

I have also seen the comment sections of some authors, and they are often scolded, and most of them focus on update issues.

But my readers said:

"Write some light novels to gain popularity as an author and then write what you want."

"I'll read whatever you write, and we won't put pressure on you."

"As long as you are still writing, even if it is a follow-up work, you will probably write better than others. I believe in you. People who like this book believe in you as much as I do."

"..."

They were only interested in convincing me to make money, and they didn't care at all that they had already spent a lot of money on this book.

So, thank you very much.

Thank you, and thank myself.

Thank you for your understanding and tolerance. I believe that there are many similarities between an author, the characters he creates, and the readers he attracts. At least our three views will be highly consistent to some extent.

So I love every one of my readers and every "me" struggling in every corner of the world.

Of course, I also have to thank myself.

Thank you for bringing this book to life.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this strong vitality that so many readers with "the brilliance of humanity" can be brought together.

This is a victory for idealists.

Shenlu is amazing because of you.

=========

Finally, let’s talk about the update issue that everyone is most concerned about.

This book currently contains almost no data.

Due to the insufficient traffic base and the large number of readers who support the book, approximately 20-30 subscriptions will be lost every time a chapter is updated, and the continuous downward trend will only make the platform determine that the book has no value.

And I really can't think of a better way to change this trend.

In fact, from the perspective of a businessman, there is really no need to write this book further.

The amount of updates per day may not seem like much, but it has completely squeezed out all my spare time.

But the only paradoxical thing is that I have created two of the most beloved characters in my life, and at the same time gained a group of the best readers in the world.

Reason tells me that I shouldn't do this, but I still can't bear to do it.

So after thinking about it, I plan to take a few days off first, and then take advantage of these few days off to write as much as possible.

In fact, this book has a very large world view. According to the outline, it can be written at least 300 million, and it will soon enter a very exciting business battle.

I don’t know how much it can ultimately be presented. I can only say that as long as I update a chapter, the quality of the chapter will be guaranteed.

If I don’t celebrate Shen Wanning’s birthday this year, I will celebrate it myself.

I want to give her the biggest one ever.
