Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 394 390. Comment on that mosquito

The author I want to visit today is the mosquito.

This is the fourth author interview I have done. I hope you like it.

【About the Author】

That Mosquito is a great writer, the author of "Reincarnation Paradise" and "One Piece: The Swordsman's Heart".

He is one of the Twelve Heavenly Kings of 2019 and a new great writer in 2020.

His masterpiece is "Reincarnation Paradise", which has long dominated the top of the monthly ticket list in the light novel category and has remained at the top for more than ten months.

The status of this book in the light novel category is the same as the effect of "Lord of Mysteries" dominating the monthly ticket list when it was serialized.

Currently, this book has 700,000 collections on Qidian.com, 490,000 collections in the bookstore, 158 million fans, and has achieved 100 alliances, 10,000 subscriptions, and three-star masterpieces.

He's witnessed countless excellent light novels explode into overnight success, only to fizzle out. He's also witnessed countless outsider influencers try to dabble in the light novel genre, only to be swept away by the tide. Only he remains steady, like a beacon, forever standing tall in the harbor, offering a moment of remembrance and emotion.

There are so many creative geniuses, but only mosquitoes are the ironclad warriors!
The book has been serialized for 818 million words so far, and is not far from the 10 million word mark. It is difficult for ordinary light novels to be written at such a length, so how did he do it?

I didn't ask! Just follow the update.

Interview details

Question 1: What is the origin of your pen name?
That Mosquito: I got this Qidian account a long time ago. I used it to read books before, and later I used it as an author account. To say it’s special, actually, it’s not. I have used it for a very long time. Is it special?
Question 2: Who first drew you into the online literature world? Or who was your mentor?

That Mosquito: It was a fan fiction whose name I have forgotten. I was very angry when I read it, really angry. Then, with the idea that I could do it, I applied for an author account and started writing novels.

Question 3: What motivated you to write this new book?
That Mosquito: It’s mainly because I like the subject matter. The two books I’m writing now are both on topics I like. If I start a new book, it will also be in this area. After all, it’s difficult to stick to daily online novels without passion.

Question 4: What are the most memorable or touching points in the process of writing online articles?

That Mosquito: I once typed 2 words in a single day, and I was so exhausted that I remember it vividly.

Question 5: Which of your characters do you particularly like and can’t let go of?
That mosquito: Of course it is the protagonist.

Question 6: What advice do you have for new authors? What categories do you recommend for getting started?
Answer to the mosquito: Come to the light novel channel, there are many types of stories to write about here.

Question 7: Do you have any favorite authors or works?

That mosquito: Lord of mysteries, eternal god!
Question 8: Do you have any plans for your next work?

The Mosquito: Not yet. I need to concentrate on writing this book.

Question 9: Is there anything you'd like to brag about in your current work? Or could you share your plot ideas?

That Mosquito: In terms of plot ideas, the characteristic of my book is that I conceive of one world after another. I can construct a general world view in one chapter, letting readers know the characteristics of this world, the background of the times, part of the history, the main content, etc. I feel that this is the most bragging thing about my writing so far.

Question 10: Do you have any new expectations about the future of online literature?

That Mosquito: In terms of expectations, I hope the light novel channel will become more and more popular, so that I can also benefit from it.

【summary】

It’s hard to make an appointment with Mosquito because there are too many things to do.

Fortunately, his operations officer was very helpful and kept helping to urge the submission of manuscripts.

When I got the answer to the question, I fell into deep thought. It's not very good.

I spent five days thinking about this.

I've been busy lately, so I'm temporarily suspending updates on my novel "Cang's Whispers." Since I'm busy and can't guarantee full attendance, I'm going to take a break and write some more drafts. I'll try to be fully present next month.

My update volume is completely incomparable to others, and the total word count is far less than that of "Reincarnation Paradise".

In fact, half of the introduction of my book, "Welcome to the Book Review Paradise", comes from "Reincarnation Paradise" and the other half comes from "Horror Paradise".

Both of these books are my favorites.

Mosquito himself said that his favorite work is "Lord of Mysteries", which is the same as many authors.

Because many people have learned more writing skills and writing attitudes from "Lord of Mysteries", especially the monthly summary part, which becomes more useful the more you use it, but also becomes more difficult to stick to it.

Nowadays, readers' appreciation level is getting higher and higher. Brainless and amateurish writings are gradually unable to adapt to readers' tastes. Only things that have been thought through and settled down have the possibility of being appreciated by others.

Mosquito undoubtedly belongs to this type of author. Although "Reincarnation Paradise" is a bit long, the story is actually very representative and the plot is avoided as much as possible.

If you haven't read this book yet, you really need to go read it.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

I've been very busy lately and haven't been able to keep up with the latest updates, so I haven't updated for several days.

Some random chapters were issued to extend the investment period and protect the rights and interests of investors.

Tomorrow is September 1st, a new month is about to begin. I’ll post a chapter first to get a feel for it.

I have saved some short manuscripts that are less than 2000 words long, which need to be further supplemented and improved when they are published.

In fact, it’s almost the same as rewriting!
I've been off the books for so long this time, and it's been a heavy psychological burden. I always feel sorry for my friends who follow me.

Every time I updated a chapter, there would be messages of support from you. Although there were not many of you, I actually remembered them all and was really touched.

I hope that starting from next month, I can update regularly, or at least fulfill my previous promise of one million book reviews.

I have been writing for so long and have written so many novels, but there are still many excellent novels that have not been included.

Recently I have seen many great authors release new books. Some of them follow very old routines and have achieved very poor results. The quality of some books is even unworthy of the platinum title.

They must be anxious too.

He is already one of the 41 platinum writers, so why is his writing so uninteresting?
No one can be blamed for this.

Because times are always changing!
If you are also planning to enter this industry, even if it is just for fun, please remember this.

“No man is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days!”

But as long as you write with your heart and persist in writing, even if you don’t achieve any results after writing for a few years, at least these contents are what you wanted to say most at that time.

This may be enough.

Don't forget the original intention, move forward!
There will be more people walking with you on this road.
