High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 73

[Settings Update: The flood that revealed the existence of the extraordinary world in Chapter 1, originally scheduled for 2042, has been changed to 2038. This change was made before the 13th, and two-thirds of the readers arrived after that date, so it won't affect them. This setting won't significantly impact the development of the story before the book's official release. It's just that I wrote over ninety chapters, which caused quite a stir, so this is a reasonable correction.]

Getting back to the main point, I originally thought the book would be released on Friday, and I allocated my drafts according to this Friday's schedule, which resulted in a serious mismatch between the number of chapters published and my drafts on WPS. So yesterday I updated two chapters totaling 7,000 words, and today I updated a single chapter totaling 4,000 words.

From a plot perspective, the content breaks these past two days have been just right. Although it wasn't a major highlight when it was released, it was still a midway point in a case that had been dragged out for a long time.

This book has been published for thirty-five days and has already reached 190,000 words. Time flies! I'm quite happy that this new book got a strong recommendation from P, and the results should be much better.

然后的话，明天星期一上架当天是5章5000字，2.5万。星期二是2章5000字和3章3k，3k，4k的组合。

Monday, 12:10 PM.

Monday, 12:10 PM.

Monday, 12:10 PM.

Say the important thing three times.

The following chapters will be 10,000 words per day, with additional chapters added as needed.

For convenience, my bonus chapters are different from others' bonus chapters of 2,000 words each. Instead, I release three chapters of 10,000 words each over three days, so the bonus chapter rules are relatively high.

Bonus chapter rules:

Rule 1: 1,000 monthly votes will result in an additional 10,000 chapters (equivalent to five chapters). This isn't particularly difficult; with my rapid update speed, I can easily reach the required number of monthly votes, usually once a month. Furthermore, only when the monthly vote count reaches 1,000 will the author have a chance to participate in a prize draw, though the prizes are mostly around 100 yuan.

Rule 2: The first leader of the alliance will receive an extra 20,000 words.

My previous book, which was all about nostalgia, did indeed win two Alliance Master awards. When I saw a string of zeros, I thought there was something wrong with the system. After confirming it, I was incredibly excited.

I'm not even hoping for the Silver Alliance or anything like that.

Rule 3: Average subscriptions and initial subscriptions – this is the most important.

It's really hard to predict the exact figures.

On Monday, there was a false breakout at 2400 and a genuine breakout at 1668, with the market fluctuating for the next few days. Industry insiders generally use a 0.6-0.7 Fibonacci retracement level.

To be practical, let's say we use 0.6, which is exactly 1000. If we go up by 100, we can add 5000, 200, or 10,000.

I'm honestly not sure about the initial subscription figures, because the data I've recently gathered shows that one author with 2,000 fake followers only got 680 initial subscriptions. Another one with 3,200 fake followers got 1400 initial subscriptions. However, these are light novels, and it seems that authors in the industry don't have a high opinion of initial subscription ratios for light novels, so the standards for light novel competitions are quite high.

I won't go into the logic behind this.

Average order value is the key.

Within twenty days, my first order was 1050, and the average order increased to 2500. This was mainly due to the smart push that relied on different allocations of update volume.

Let's start with an average of 1000 subscriptions per day. An additional 10,000 chapters will be added for every 300 average subscriptions. 3000 average subscriptions is considered a premium chapter, and a premium chapter will receive an extra 10,000 chapters. (That story with 1400 initial subscriptions reached 3000 average subscriptions within ten days; I dream of that too.)

Let me just say what's on my mind.

In the past six years, or even more than ten years ago, I have only gone to bed before midnight a handful of times, probably no more than 30 times.

But I've changed my sleep schedule for the past week, going to bed before 10:30 PM and trying to go to bed early and wake up early. (Because of this sudden change in my biological clock, I tend to wake up easily in the middle of the night, which is why you see me replying to comments at 3 or 4 AM.)

The previous hit book had a plot I couldn't control. Its storyline was very simplistic, focusing solely on Chinese culture, mythology, and a single battle sequence. If I didn't write it that way, readers would easily abandon it.

This book became much richer for me when I wrote it.

The more I write, the more I need to remember. It's impossible to forget some of the characters or rules while writing.

I think novels have different levels of artistry; the higher the level, the stronger the artist's control over the overall plot.

I used to have a smooth life, but I stumbled when it came to novels, and I'm still resentful about it.

I also want to challenge myself. Changing my schedule isn't just about becoming a writing robot; it's mainly about improving my mental state. When I'm in a good state, writing is indeed much easier, and the content feels more natural.

I can vaguely sense the barrier in front of me, and I want to break through it, but it seems difficult.

There's no point in making empty boasts or setting ambitious goals in your author's note. All I can say is that the most exciting part of the story is the mid-to-late stages, and I will do my best to write it well.

In my mind, a well-written novel would be like Full-Time Magister, which expands the initial Bo City to the entire world, allowing every character you encounter and every place you go to inspire you to look outward (this is what I personally think is the biggest bottleneck for novels).

To prevent anyone from arguing, I even dared to draw a comparison with Full-Time Magister. So I emphasize that I only wanted to achieve this in my mind, and no one knows how it will ultimately turn out.

I hope we can stay together until the very end!

Next comes the sacrifice!

The first book was recommended to me by someone who thought it was going to flop. It had 88 favorites, and I converted half of them into a follower.

Hyperfusion!!!

Hyperfusion: I Have Infinite Forms

By fusing countless materials, it transforms into an invincible form, traversing all the heavens and myriad realms!

Dragon Raja: I, Maybach, have joined the chat group.

"I will never forget that rainy night, on that overpass you took away the person I loved most."

Odin's pupils contracted slightly: "You, you are Chu Zihang?"

"No, I am a Maybach."

Post-Apocalyptic Fortress: My Sanctuary is Infinitely Upgraded

"Nori? Ma? Takashi?"

"Friend, what are you saying here?"

"It is now the first year of the last century."

"Hurry up, let's build a shelter together and fight off the zombies with tower defense!"

"Cultivation and Weapon Forging: Becoming an Immortal Starting with Mass-Produced Magic Treasures" - The author is too lazy to provide any content, so I'll just give a simple assessment: Modernized cultivation, a complete flop, oh yeah!

"Poor Talent, Cultivating Disciples to Achieve Immortality" is a book by an author I've known for three years, who recently started writing. Since they didn't give me a recommendation, I'll give a brief review. It's a traditional fantasy novel using the "golden finger" trope, and the author seems to be trying to play it safe, but they've been out of the market for too long, and the suggestions I gave them back then haven't been used, so expectations aren't high. Today's first attempt has received a lukewarm reception.

"I'm only eight years old, and my life has already taken a dramatic turn for the better?"

When the counterattack system arrives sixty years too early... this guy is eight years old!

As the crowd watched the Third Prince rapidly advance through his cultivation level, they fell into deep thought and cried out, "Third Prince, it's getting cold, please put on some more clothes! We beg Your Majesty to abdicate!"

Fantasy Paradise: I'm a pro at exploiting bugs

[I recommend a novel called "Zhu Tianwen," a story about an invincible protagonist who doesn't overpower the main character. It's a harem novel with some erotic elements. If you're interested, you can check it out.]

The sacrifice is complete, may this book be brought to a perfect conclusion!
