This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 101

It will be available tomorrow, so as usual, I'll share my thoughts.

First of all, I would like to thank my editor, Ruoye.

When this book was only 8,000 words long, it was discovered and signed by Ruoye. Apart from a slight mishap when sending the contract, the recommendations and support afterward have been very strong. I have never received so many recommendations since I started writing (maybe my previous books were too bad).

Therefore, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the boss for his support.

Many people know that I'm not a novice writer, and I admit it. But I'm not some big shot's alt account, as some people claim. I just wanted to change my ID and start over after failing so many times.

I've been writing books for over three years now, and I still remember the feeling of cutting up the book before it went on the shelves when I first started writing it.

I feel very frustrated and upset.

But with each attempt, the results improved. Although the process was not always smooth, and I doubted whether I was suitable for writing books and even had the idea of ​​giving up writing, I eventually persevered.

Over the course of three years, I frequented various online platforms, including Lulu, Tmall, and Qidian.

I won't mention books from other websites, but as for books on Qidian... from cutting off my first book before it was even published, to my second book being published with only 1,000 favorites and 180 first-day subscriptions, then more than 2,000 on the first day, becoming a featured book for a few days, and then this one.

This book is really good at analyzing data; it may not be as good as the experts, but it's still pretty good.

Since it's not yet available for purchase, we don't know how the subscription process will work.

It's not uncommon for a product to have impressive pre-release metrics, only to experience a subscription collapse after its release.

So I'm still a little nervous.

Many people criticize me for buying data for this book, and many others don't even read the book but spew nonsense... You can tell what kind of people they are just by looking at their tone. After all, I've been around Ba and Longkong for a while, and I've seen a lot of guys like that.

However, when it comes to online novels, performance is king.

No matter how maliciously others look at you, or whether you've done anything or not, once the results are out, they'll prove you wrong.

If you get good grades, you can refute those who maliciously slander you, even if they're accused of botching their stats; you can still claim it's because you're awesome. But if you get bad grades, you'll be proven wrong, and even if you didn't bot your stats, people will still think you're a botter and trash.

It's that simple.

This is true not only online, but also in real life.

When I first started writing novels, I didn't make any money. My neighbors would make sarcastic remarks, saying that such a grown man didn't go out to work and just stayed at home sponging off his parents. Even when I went out to buy groceries, people would mock me, saying, "Wow, you're so capable! You can even buy groceries and cook for yourself." This is based on my own experience, not something I made up.

But after I was able to write novels and make money, no one was sarcastic anymore. They started chatting and laughing with me, praising me for being successful and such.

Real society is far more captivating than fiction. You might think that the lowbrow, pretentious face-slapping scenes in online novels are too fake, but they're actually far more common in reality. There are plenty of examples in the chapter reviews of my book.

Many things have just begun and haven't even been fully developed, yet people are already criticizing them as brain-dead and suffocating. And what's the result?

Does anyone think I made any mistakes in my actions?

To put it more directly, there was the scene last year when the author of "Fake Immortal" was slapped in the face on Dianba, which can be described as a real-life version of the classic online novel scenario of "thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river".

Ahem... we've gone off on a tangent.

In short, in order to avoid being the one who gets proven wrong, the author is asking for subscriptions here. If you like this book and are able to support it, please do so.

This time, I want to aim for the first day's best deals, which is 3,000 first-day subscriptions.

Also, a 10,000-word novel will be available tomorrow, and it will be sent out on time.

I will try my best to update later, and try to guarantee 10,000 words a day. If I can't do that, then ignore what I said. This book is a brain-teaser, and it takes a lot of brainpower to write. I must prioritize quality and update frequently.
