After finishing the book, I felt a sense of relief, which was a good feeling, so when I wrote this essay, I felt very relaxed, unlike writing the main text, which was tiring and scratching my head.
From the upload of "Girls" on April 5, 2011, to the completion of "Girls" today on April 4, 2013, it has been exactly two years and nearly 4.7 million words. Although there are many breaks in the middle, but in general
Say, I should still work very hard, right?
It's been two years. The timing is very coincidental, and what's even more coincidental is that today is also the Tomb Sweeping Day. Someone in the author group teased me that "I will think of the Queen every time during the Tomb Sweeping Day." It feels good... There should be nothing wrong with it, right?
During the two years of writing this book, I have experienced a lot of things, the biggest of which is: I went from a slender boy weighing 110 pounds two years ago to the big, foot-picking guy I am today... all the time
I all have a wish, hoping that a rich woman can take care of a pretty boy like me, but now I’m afraid there is no hope, sigh.
Now let’s talk about this book. Anyway, it has been completed. I will also tell you some things that were difficult to say before. In fact, when I wrote this book, I was in a hurry, or very casually, what outline, what
I didn’t even have a worldview. Even at that time, my understanding of Gensokyo was limited to Oriental Scarlet Sky, and my understanding of anime was only superficial. When I first started writing, I didn’t know about the moon, I only knew about the long night of destiny...
It can be said that at that time I was new to anime.
So what was the original intention of writing this book?
I can’t remember the details, maybe it was influenced by others, or maybe I just simply like these characters.
When I first started writing, I had no ambitions, but now that I have started writing, I always hope to achieve something. After all, writing books is my hobby, but if I can make a living from it, it will also be a very happy thing.
It was only after I actually wrote it that I realized how difficult and painful it was to write a book.
I seem to have said before that when I was writing Chapter 19, I had the idea of being a eunuch. Later, I was able to continue writing because of the signing text message from the background.
This is true.
But I may not have said that while I was writing this book, I thought of the eunuch no less than fifty times.
Yes, you read that right.
As mentioned above, my knowledge of animation is only a rudimentary one, but if I want to write this book well, I cannot rely on such a one-sided knowledge, so I kept looking up information while writing: Revisiting the Past
I have spent a lot of time reading anime that I have watched over and over again, reading light novels that I have not read before, and looking up various information, such as various analyzes written by many animation veterans.
I would like to thank these senior nerds who I don’t know. Regardless of whether their analysis and opinions are correct or not, at least they have given me a lot of help.
However, it is very tiring to look up so much information, and not only do I have to look at it, I also have to analyze it myself, such as the person's personality and how he will react when encountering something... In short, it is very
Very tired.
Then, because of the imperfect worldview and lack of understanding, I often get stuck.
In fact, at first, I just wanted to write a short novel with more than one million words, but as I kept writing, I found that the layout was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more pitfalls. I couldn't stop it at all, especially in the fourth volume.
At that time, even I couldn’t grasp it.
From the first volume to the third volume, the reviews of this book have increased. For example, I don’t know where I saw a review by someone, saying that the first volume had a unique feeling for a newcomer, and the second volume felt like a newbie.
It started to become more mature, reached its peak in the third volume, and then started to decline in the fourth volume.
Although everyone has their own opinions, and it may not be the case in the eyes of other readers, I did have some problems with the plot and setting in the fourth volume, and this cannot be denied.
Of course there are many more painful things for me to write later, so I won’t mention them all here. Many times I stopped thinking about writing, but when I saw the subscriptions in the background, although they were not many, they were supportive, and there was also a book review area.
With all kinds of encouragement in it, I finally continued to write this book down.
As an aside, I remember seeing many people saying that my book was very popular in the early stage, but its popularity slumped in the later stage. This is actually wrong. Because the performance of this book was very poor at the beginning, with an average of just over 1,000, and it lasted for several years.
Months, until the end of September when it doubled, I started competing for the classified monthly ticket list. Relying on the popularity of the monthly ticket list, I gradually improved the performance of this book. It was not until the end of the year that many alliance leaders appeared. At that time, about
This is when it is at its most popular.
But even at that time, the number of subscriptions was only just over 1,300.
And now, there are 30,000 books in the collection, more than 4,000 high-end orders, and the average number is nearly 1,700... Although this kind of achievement is completely incomparable with popular books, in the otaku market, and relying on animation as a selling point, it is still the most difficult to sell.
For a otaku novel, this score should be very good.
Of course, the performance of a book cannot be determined solely by subscriptions, but I am a professional writer and subscriptions sustain my life. If I want to judge whether my book is good or not, I can only judge it from subscriptions.
Well, after saying so much, I don’t know what I’m talking about. Anyway, I just write whatever I want, and everyone can just read it.
In short, this book can not be completed until it is completed, and it is inseparable from everyone's support. Every click, every recommendation, every subscription, every monthly ticket and every reward is precisely because of your support.
Only then can I write this book satisfactorily.
Maybe this book has many shortcomings, but at least I completed it with a serious attitude.
I have been criticized by others, praised by others, scolded by others, and praised by others. Some people dropped their computers after reading it, and some people regarded this book as a masterpiece... No matter what, in the past two years, I have read this book.
, I have experienced a lot, and you have also experienced a lot. Thank you for accompanying me through the past two years, allowing me to do what I want to do, and at the same time, it has also brought me certain financial benefits.
Originally I wanted to thank some people directly by name, but after thinking about it I decided not to be coy.
Regarding the ending of this book, there should be nothing to say about it, happy ending. Maybe I forgot to fill in some of them, but they are probably not very important. Even if I didn’t fill it in, there is no need to feel sorry, because even if I didn’t fill it in,
The protagonist will also fill it out himself, and he will definitely fill it out better than me.
So, this book is finished.
After two years of writing books, my health got worse and I couldn't find another job. Of course, if I wanted to survive, I had to continue writing books.
Originally, for a young newbie like me who was on the verge of breaking out, if I could open a new book immediately with a seamless connection, I might be able to maintain my small popularity until the new book comes out. After a long time, I would probably have to start over again.
But as I said before, there was no plan when I wrote this book, so not only was it frequently revised at the beginning, but I even failed to make it into the most important new book monthly ticket list, which I have always regretted.
So I have to prepare well for the new book.
The theme of the new book is fantasy. I will continue to maintain the funny and passionate style of the book, and then add a little cuteness... Although I really want to write that kind of routine fantasy for TVB, but to be honest, I really don’t.
It's suitable for writing that kind of book, so even though it's covered in fantasy, it's probably still niche.
In the new book, I plan to change my job a little bit. I will no longer be a philanthropist, but a girl-controller and a lolita-controller. Of course, I won’t open it up anymore because it’s too tiring. I will try to keep the number of heroines below five.
And the theme of the new book...well, probably the victory of the girl-controller.
Okay, that’s it for now. If there are no accidents, the new book will probably be released in mid-May, of course. So, let’s say goodbye for now. If you have some expectations for my new book, let’s meet again in May.
