Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 88 Remarks on the launch
2025 1 Month 21 Day.

Tomorrow is the day it will be put on the shelves, and I’m still a little dazed.

About a month ago, I set a goal for myself to sign a contract - at that time, I had spent nearly half a year writing the beginning, but it still didn't pass.

But I was lucky enough to pass it.

I was particularly happy that day. The November wind was not so biting, the sun was shining warmly, and I felt that there was a smooth road ahead.

All the pain and torture that followed were not even half as happy as I was back then. Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Now thinking about it, I was really brave back then. As a newcomer, I wrote a story with an original world view, Western fantasy, farming, and no system. I even got into the main topic more than 60 chapters later.

Every word in it makes me gasp when I think of it now, and every punctuation mark is written with the word "cold".

I remember that I scanned the list and flipped through Sanjiang for several months, but I didn’t see a similar book. My heart finally sank.

To be honest, I was once shaken. When the storage was almost finished, I heard that there would be a lot of traffic at this time. It was indeed huge. The number of follow-up readers increased from 7 to 10, an increase of 43%.
I went to ask with the data, and everyone advised me to cut it.

I was confused for a long time and was in a daze the whole day. My mind seemed to be working, but something in my heart seemed to be dead.

I just sat there in the chair, flipping through the data over and over again, wondering if cutting it off would be unfair to the ten people who were reading.

I asked my friends and I told them I had written a novel.

Before I could express my troubles, I received a reply from the other party.

"Is it fun to write novels?"

My slow-witted mind pondered this for a long time, but I still couldn't understand what it meant. Shouldn't novel writing be divided into good and bad? What kind of data would be considered happy?

But his hands moved on their own.

“Happy.” I replied, “Very happy.”

This is a no-brainer.

Even when I am lost, even when I am in pain, even when I have nothing, I will subconsciously feel happy when I open the typing software.

——I came here because I like writing novels. I want to keep writing no matter what, even if it is bad, as long as I can keep writing.

Then what is there to be confused about?
Keep writing.

If I stop moving forward like this, I will not only be sorry to ten readers, but also to myself.

So, just keep writing, just keep writing.

If seven people read it, I'll write for them. If ten people read it, I'll write for them. If no one reads it, I'll write for myself. When I had nothing, I didn't think too much. With a fierce determination in my heart, I dared to go anywhere and try any subject, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, even if the road ahead was full of swords and seas of fire.

Why do you become timid now that you have the data?

Maybe I will compromise in the future and no longer take such a difficult path, but at least not today, not now.

. . .

He sounded a little excited.

Let’s talk about this book.

From the beginning to now, this book has been constantly being tested and revised.

Every time I write tens of thousands of words, I feel that what I wrote before was too bad, so I delete it and start over.

Many people say not to change the previous chapters, as it may cause the book to break.

I just changed it, over and over again.

I am a newcomer, and all I can do is keep trying. If they say my pace is slow, I will change it. If they say my characters are not strong enough, I will rewrite them. Some of my answers are right, and some are wrong, but they will eventually become right.

To be honest, it's very useful.

Even if you're slow to write the same plot over and over again, you'll still gain something. Sometimes you'll experience something as you write more, and sometimes you'll have a flash of inspiration. Slowly, the more you write, the smoother it becomes, and the more you write, the more you feel.

In short, I have written here and will continue to write. I have taken some detours and may not avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.

All I can do is keep going.

I have so much to say that I wrote a lot in a mess. Thank you for reading this.

I wrote this book, but it is thanks to all of you who read it that it has come to this day.

I have come this far with so many ups and downs. I have received so much tolerance and support that I cannot express it with just a few words of thanks. I will always remember it in my heart.

I have no way to repay you, so I can only update more often.

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, and I expect to have three chapters updated, but I want to try to see if I can add five chapters. If I try hard, I might be able to add more.

Everyone, leave the updates to me, the data depends on you, please give me a first order.

Thank you! ! !
