"Back to the starting point again, your green face in my memory
We finally arrived at this day..."
Yes, this book is going to be on the shelves.
Everyone who is reading this paragraph should know that I am a newcomer and a newbie in online writing. So when I wrote this speech, the first question that stumped me was:
What should I call you?
Called "friends" and "book friends" strictly?
It seems too distant.
Pretending to be affectionately called "brothers" and "old men"?
A little too familiar.
Or are you the "dear friends" and "guanguan gentry" inspired by Taobao Style?
There is an aura of desolation like performing on the street.
So I started to think about it again, as those of you who read the testimonials and are ready to subscribe to this book, what relationship should I have with you?
If you not only subscribe but also vote for me monthly...
Then you are my half-brother.
If you actually gave a reward after voting...
Then you are my food, clothing and parents.
If you are so rich that you plan to support me directly...
Master, what are your orders?
Ahem.
Closer to home, I am talking about supporting this book, and I solemnly state that the author is a serious person who sells his art and not his body.
Students who have just automatically imagined images such as "men on the left and right", "strong men locking up men", "big men all over the body", etc., please immediately consciously go to the playground and run ten laps as a penalty.
yes……
classmates.
Based on my limited knowledge, this is the most cordial and polite relationship, the most equal and not distant relationship that I can think of.
To me, this is a particularly beautiful bond.
So, classmates, please allow me to call you this on my own for the time being.
There are many people on the Internet giving advice to newbies, saying that the product should sell badly when it is put on the shelf, but I don’t plan to do that.
I think everyone should support a book out of love, not sympathy, right?
I have always felt that although I am not particularly lucky, I cannot be called miserable by any means.
This book may not cater to the market. In fact, I expected it from the beginning, but after much hesitation, I still followed my inner thoughts.
I write this out of a sense of luck. You may ask who gave me the courage?
Probably you.
I have always known that the readers of Qidian are the best readers on the entire Internet.
Because only you have enough patience and tolerance to discover the little bit of care and sincerity hidden between the lines of a coder behind the screen.
Of course, I am not that stubborn. Although this story is not that "cool", it is still within the framework of the online article, and there is no attempt to do anything fancy.
Since writing this book, I am very grateful to every student for their support.
I am quite a social person on the Internet, and I am not used to talking to strangers online. As you can see from this speech, just one opening sentence is enough to make me scratch my head.
But I still remember every encouragement you gave me.
When this book first started, it had no exposure at all. It was almost a stand-alone game. At that time, several classmates often voted for me to recommend it, and I can still see your votes every day.
Thank you for accompanying me along this journey.
Later, more and more students saw this book, and most of them probably just silently collected it without saying a word. This was the case when I was a reader myself.
There are also some students who voted for me monthly, gave me rewards, and left good comments and reminders in the comment area or this chapter. Whenever this happens, I am most proud:
Oh, it turns out someone likes my book.
The list is very long, so I won’t thank you all here.
I hope you know that your recognition is an unprecedented sense of accomplishment for me.
When I talked about this chapter just now, I have a small request. There are some jokes buried in the text of this book. I thought that everyone in the same age group should be well-known, but it seems not to be the case.
So if you find something that makes you smile later, you might as well leave a note about this chapter to give other students some tips.
Next, there was originally a paragraph about self-praising in a roundabout way, but I deleted it after I finished writing it. I thought that since we are all classmates, it would be a bit strange to brag about myself.
My goal is to write a book that can withstand careful reading upon first flipping through, and is worthy of re-reading after finishing the book. I will leave it to you to evaluate whether I can do that in the future.
Then I originally wanted to say a few nice words for my male protagonist Lin Yi, but after thinking about it, it was unnecessary.
I have an answer in my mind about who Lin Yi is, but I don’t want to directly replace your understanding and feelings with it.
To be honest, I don’t like to give any off-screen explanations, and I insist on not giving any spoilers in the comment area.
Why did I write this and what is the purpose? If I were to explain it, there would be a sense of absurdity that "I am doing my own reading comprehension", which is too weird.
So what can you say...
Let’s talk about the origin of this book.
One boring night, when I was lying in bed, the beginning of this story popped into my mind, and it was so lingering that it caused me to toss and turn insomnia until two in the morning.
So I simply got up and wrote it out. I wrote it until about six o'clock, which was almost dawn, and then I went back to sleep satisfied. Fortunately, I didn't have to go to work the next day.
It’s hard for me to accurately express my heartbeat at that moment. Although it may sound dull to you, it means a lot to me.
This section is 100% true to form, and what I coded out that night was the prologue you see.
Well, as a small reminder, the prologue is quite important.
When I looked back at the previous 300,000 words, I found that although there were some clues about "what story this book is going to tell," they have not yet fully emerged.
Therefore, after it is released, I will speed up the pace and consciously wrap up the story line. It is expected that the first volume will end at about 180 chapters.
This story has special meaning to me, and I will try my best to tell it well.
When I woke up this morning, my right eye kept twitching. It was my first real experience, and I felt a little nervous.
But as the saying goes, if the left eye makes money, the right eye also makes money, so it should be a good sign, right?
September 9th is also a special day, everything is just right.
As I write this, I realize that this speech already has the weight of a chapter. Is it too long?
Finally, let’s talk about the update.
Today's ten updates will be released at once. Please place your first order by the way.
After being put on the shelves, there will be three updates a day, except for eight o'clock in the morning and evening, and one update at twelve noon.
Of course I want to write more, because the more work you do, the more you get, but I don’t want to mess up things. This is already my maximum output to ensure quality and quantity.
Rapid and short-lived is not as good as stable and long-lasting, what do you think?
correct,.
I'm really not a young man. In our village, this is a curse word.
Phew~
Okay, all the digressions are over.
Classmates, please allow me to extend my most sincere invitation to you:
Let us follow the steps of Lin Yi and Xiao Gu and step into the river called youth again.
