Report the results! And a summary of 2.5 million words
41220.
As of now, Gentleman's average order is 41220.
Yes, we have an even balance of 40,000.
As we all know, the more words there are, the harder it is to increase the average subscription score, which is a huge disadvantage compared to new books with less words.
Our growth rate is not inferior to that of the big guys!
Please listen to me.
On February 1, 2023, Junzi went on sale, with an initial order of 7,800, ranking among the top three in the current period.
The number of bookings exceeded 10,000 within three days, and the number of bookings exceeded 20,000 within three months.
At its highest peak, in July 2023, Junzi’s average booking was nearly 24,000.
Afterwards, the exposure of new book issues was lost, the exposure of the monthly ticket list was almost zero, and the average subscription of Junzi was slowly declining.
As of last month, that is, May 7th this year, before I sent out orders to ask for votes and determined to compete for the rankings, Junzi's average subscription had dropped to 20,300, which is about to fall below the threshold of 20,000!
My friends often say with a smile that your monthly reading ranking is not what a book with a monthly average of 20,000 yuan should be. You almost rely on smart promotion to survive.
If the story stops here, Xiaorong is actually very familiar with it.
This situation seems familiar.
Because the same is true for the first book "I Have a Sword Fairy Wife"!
Because Xiaorong has long been accustomed to writing hard for a long time, his grades naturally declined during the low period.
Because of the new scumbag, in August 2020, Jian Niang’s first order was 280. After it was put on the shelves, the performance skyrocketed. As of November of that year, the highest price rose to 8,000. This was 8,000 before the Qidian anti-theft era. I still missed it.
8000 for the new book issue.
From then on, the familiar data continued to decline. As of September 22, Sword Girl had more than 6,000 orders.
decline over the past two years.
Xiaorong has long been accustomed to the trough of falling all the way, with only a few true love book friends to accompany him. He has even learned to enjoy hardships, telling himself to just bury his head in writing the stories he likes.
However, after more than two years of running in the trough, I watched "Sword Girl" slowly die due to factors such as performance, status, and reality.
When I saw with my own eyes again that Junzi's average price dropped from 24,000 to 20,300, the two and a half years of Jian Niang's life came to mind again.
There was an inexplicable anger in my heart.
In the four years since I wrote the book, the most uncomfortable time for me has never been when I received bad comments or reviews. It was when old book friends who were once swordsmen came to me through various channels and privately messaged me.
, they loved Sword Girl very much, and it was a pity that it ended so suddenly.
I can't help but think, if I hadn't ended Sword Girl, if I had continued to persevere with Sword Girl and tried hard again, would Sword Girl's ending have been very different?
I know that people will subconsciously beautify the road they have not traveled, but it is better than laughing at themselves for being timid and timid ten years later.
I suddenly understood what this feeling in my chest was.
Last month, on May 7, my brothers and I stood at this crossroads again with "Junzi".
This time, we rushed.
As of today, July 31, 2024, Junzi’s average booking is 41220.
From 20300 on May 7th to 41220 on July 31st.
More than two months.
An old book of ours with a word count of nearly 2.5 million has more than doubled the number of orders!
We broke through the Honor Samsung, and we achieved the four achievements of 100 Alliance and Out of the Circle.
We broke through the 30,000 Jun without looking back, crashed into the 40,000 Jun, and burst forward towards the 50,000 Jun.
Especially in this July, we have been in the top three of the Qidian best-selling list for a long time, and we have even won the first place on the best-selling list several times. Among peers, the best-selling list is the most valuable list.
Facts have proved that we have not beautified the road we have not traveled.
Facts have proved that as long as a gentleman is given enough exposure, he can stand up and take a look at a height that many people dare not think of.
Facts have proved that it is always the author's personal show-off and cowardice that hinders the gentleman's achievements, rather than the poor readers who love to shirk and complain.
Facts have proved that a gentleman should never be in the same position as before. He should belong to a better position, and he should never stop.
Facts have proved that Junzi actually has a group of the best readers! In the future, we will continue to welcome a new group of the best readers.
Let’s summarize July. 168,000 words were updated in July, with an average of 5,420 words per day, and 0 days of leave, as shown below.
168,000 words is nothing compared to those big guys who have big hits, but for Xiaorong, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and can write at a speed of 500 words per hour, it is like shutting up in a small dark room every day, sitting in front of the computer and immersed in crazy coding and doing his best.
Regular readers who have followed previous updates should know that in the past, Xiaorong could only write 120,000 words per month, with an average of 4,000 words per day. In July, there were 48,000 more words than before.
Moreover, from May to now, I have not taken leave for three consecutive months! I will never take a day off in August!
Let’s talk about the problem of slow coding.
Many times, for the small plot in front of him, Xiaorong had to think carefully about the plot behind him in advance and figure out the logic of the event and the development context.
This resulted in the current small plot being written very quickly.
Xiaorong hopes to greet everyone just like he would entertain a good friend by writing the best thing he can.
This "good stuff" may not suit everyone's tastes, and may even be unpalatable.
But I always come across a few that can chew out the flavor, and I quite like them.
That's enough.
Xiaorong tries his best to bring it to as many people as possible, so that people who like it can find it.
But it’s not a self-admiring or pretentious route. It’s really not the case. I really feel that Qidian’s readership is very powerful, and there are many awesome readers among them.
For example, when reading, many readers can clearly feel whether you, the author, are fooling around or working seriously. They can be keenly aware of the quality of your updates on any day, and you are obviously not paying attention, or you are in a sluggish state.
And what you want to write, many readers can see it at a glance, and even draw inferences for you.
So sometimes, when Xiaorong is scolded for being short and watery in his updates, he really doesn’t dare to retaliate...
But it is very helpless. The coding ability cannot meet the needs of most readers. It is slowly improving, and everyone may not have the patience.
So I can only immerse myself in writing, keep writing, and not mess up my position.
Because I have always felt that as long as an author still has a breath of life and doesn't let it go, and as long as he thinks the story is okay, it won't collapse.
Only if he himself is discouraged and has self-doubt, that is the beginning of the collapse of a book.
Therefore, all thoughts must not confuse his heart, and he must be strong and firm to prevent his will from being distracted.
As of now, Gentleman has written 2.5 million words, which is more than the word count when Sword Girl stopped. The score is probably more than five times that of Sword Girl. However, its initial position was just to practice writing. I feel really emotional writing this.
Gentleman actually has many more stories, which I would like to tell everyone slowly.
Today’s space is limited, so I’ll stop chatting with everyone here.
at last.
Come to the part where everyone loves to ask for monthly tickets and add updates.
I paid 7 updates last month, and so far I still owe 14 updates.
The first update is 3,000 words, and two chapters of 7,000 words are published. If a chapter does not reach 7,000 words, it will not be updated. This was the algorithm last month.
I will continue to pay off the 14 debts I owe this month, and finish them off first.
I won’t ask for leave this month either and will keep updating every day! The challenge exceeded the 16.8w updates last month.
Next, we will hit the 50,000 average!
Go and see the scenery that I thought only the big guys could see.
By the way, the alliance leader cashback event is still going on this month. If you are interested, you can read the previous chapter or go to the book club for consultation.
Finally, please give me a monthly vote! Please give me a monthly vote! Please give me a monthly vote!
Everyone, don’t leave the end of the month behind. There is no double at the end of the month. Gentlemen need monthly passes now!
Every monthly ticket you give us is the greatest help to us gentlemen. I would like to sincerely thank you, Xiaorong.
Xiaorong knows that the updates are not as good as those of the big guys who have tens of thousands of posts every day. They are short and watery, and they still ask for votes every day. It is too shameless.
But for the sake of Junzi's achievements and for more people to see our book, Xiaorong must do his best to ask for votes without losing face.
As long as it can make the gentleman better and be seen by more people, Xiaorong can do anything... What, then go and lock the room 24 hours a day to update?
Woohoo, okay! Let’s go to the little black room to code!
