First, let me report the results. This book took 11 months to write from the first chapter published in September last year to the completion today, with a total of 1.95 million words. It is not particularly diligent, but considering that I have my own job, the coding is In part-time work, apart from occasionally being able to code a little bit when I have free time at work, most of the time I still have to code after get off work and on weekends. If I can write such a number of words, I should be considered one of the more diligent ones in the starting point. The author.
To be honest, I really didn’t expect that this book would reach this stage at first. If you book lovers have read the milestones in the honors of this book, you will know that this book will be released in September.
, by October 18th, it took a full month and a half to accumulate 300 collections. Before, there were only 1,300 collections. This was before it was put on the shelves. The editor Ruoye gave a great recommendation to add so many collections. Originally, this number of collections was
I planned to order just a few dozen at a time and finish writing the book in three months.
But I didn't expect that as soon as it was released, the first order was 200, and the subscription ratio was as high as six to one. This is a very exaggerated figure for a fan.
Then the results skyrocketed, reaching more than 800 in less than a month, then breaking through 1,000, and then 1,500, until today when I finished the book.
The average order of this book has officially reached the figure of 2237, and the high order is even more exaggerated to 11701. Generally speaking, the difference between average order and high order is a little more than three times. My high order is really a bit outrageous.
Such an achievement is really the result of the support of all the book lovers, as well as the great love of the editor Ruoye, who gave me, a desperate author, so many recommended resources. I bow here to express my gratitude.
Got it!
After talking about the results, now it’s time to talk about the book. Let’s talk about the last question first, the ending. I must admit that this ending is definitely a bad ending, but it is really an irresistible force. Originally, it was according to my plan.
.
After defeating Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama and destroying all the countries.
There is another element of reform.
It will probably take tens of thousands of words to write, involving various aspects such as military, politics, economy, education, etc., and then mention the changes after the actual reform, and finally leave a blank. Although this is not a perfect ending, it
At least in my opinion, if written like this, it shouldn't be considered bad. But unfortunately, the political content is not good. Even if I have used very obscure words to replace it, the things that don't work just don't work. I just send it out directly.
It was blocked, and after questioning the editor, I had no choice but to abandon this part of the content completely.
And it’s also because I didn’t plan to write about the plots of Ishiki, Jinshiki, Momoshiki, etc. that involve Boruto, so this book can only end here.
The ending is really bad. This is my fault. I should have asked the editor to confirm the relevant content beforehand.
In the past two days, I have been struggling with how to write the ending. I have been writing and writing, but I can only come up with such a "bad thing".
I also hope that all the book lovers will understand.
I will learn from the mistakes I made in this book and try to avoid similar problems in the next book.
This time I can only ask my book friends to forgive me.
In addition, I would like to mention that some book friends may have guessed that the route I wanted to take at the beginning of this book was to stay in Konoha and become the Hokage, and the identity I decided for the protagonist at the beginning was
Became the personal disciple of the Third Hokage.
At least in the first thirty or forty chapters, this was still the plan.
The outline was determined based on this.
It is intended to follow the most traditional setting of Naruto.
There are two reasons why I gave up later. One is that I discovered that if the protagonist is to become a disciple of the Third Hokage and then successfully resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen must
He is the good old Hokage in the official setting of Naruto. He is not a hypocritical character, but a kind-hearted Hokage in the true sense, a Hokage who has perfectly inherited the will of fire. The reason why he makes mistakes is because he is old and has changed.
You become indecisive and trust your partners too easily.
This is a prerequisite.
It's a pity that Kishimoto doesn't care about people. The character of Sarutobi Hiruzen is too contradictory to many things in the original work.
If I had to complete this setting, I would have to add a lot of settings to Sarutobi Hiruzen. To put it bluntly, it would be to find reasons for him to excuse himself. This is not only very troublesome, but can also easily leave loopholes and problems.
I'm not sure about the other authors. Anyway, I feel like I can't do this. If I forcibly set the setting for Sarutobi Hiruzen, I will most likely be asking for trouble. Instead, I will follow the conspiracy theory route, which is the easiest way.
Circle set.
The author does not need to think too much.
And another reason is, market feedback!
I can't say 100%, but among the current Naruto fans, most people still like to watch Kurosandai and Kurokiha. I also found a trace of inspiration from the book "Escape from Konoha". Since I want Kuroki
Ye, Hei Sandai.
Then there will definitely be a war with the top management.
Instead of choosing the internal struggle that everyone has written about, I might as well write about the plot of the collective defection of the Uchiha clan. In this case, it should have a good sense of novelty and attract some readers.
And when it comes to internal fighting, the book next door on Being the Patriarch is extremely well written, and that author’s level is n times higher than mine!
If I force myself to write similar content to others, it will definitely be a waste of time. People are very afraid of comparison, and the same is true for books. There is such a big gap between my level and other people's, but if I still write the same content, it's really waiting.
Just go ahead and gg!
So, I have to write something different!
It turns out I was right.
If I had followed the outline I set at the beginning, I would have really struggled to achieve such results.
To put it bluntly, for those who read this book, I am sure that most of them read it because I wrote a new gimmick, not because of how wonderful the book is really written.
, I still have self-awareness.
But once it is fresh, it will be familiar the second time. Promising that the next book will be very exciting is definitely a lie to myself and others.
But I will definitely make progress.
The shortcomings of this book will be corrected as much as possible in the next book, or at least the 'sickness' will be alleviated a little.
I also ask all book friends to continue to support me in the future.
As for the new book, if nothing else goes wrong, it should be released in early September, no later than Teacher’s Day. I just finished writing a book, and I still want to take a break and think about it. That’s it, book friends.
Hey guys, see you in September with the next book!
