After thinking about it for a while, let’s simply report the results.
"Global Shrinking Humanity" is really a hit. There is nothing to quibble about, and there is no need.
The current high-end orders are just over 600, and the average order is about 378, but not even 400.
The first 24-hour order number on the shelves was 450, the number of collections was 11,700, and the order-to-book ratio was 25:1.
This is a very miserable figure. Although it seems that the first subscription is higher, the subscription-to-revenue ratio is not even as good as that of the Savior.
How should I put it, it was quite shocking, but I was still mentally prepared.
Let me tell you something quietly. Regarding this subject and this beginning, I once wanted to give up before I started the book.
At that time, I had just written the beginning of 30,000 words. I looked back at the review myself, and the more I read, the more I felt something was wrong.
At that time, I really thought that if I put this idea out, I would be overwhelmed. I didn’t want the beginning of the 30,000-word novel.
When I read my beginning, I came to the following feeling.
The idea of human beings shrinking would be very interesting if viewed from the perspective of movies, TV series, or animations.
But when it comes to writing, it suffers from a congenital disability that lacks a sense of imagery.
It might be feasible to tell some more childlike stories in the form of fairy tales, such as "Gulliver's Travels".
If you use the model of Liu's "Micro Era" and write it as a short story, you can also write a wonderful short story that can trigger thinking.
But what I write about is Internet literature. There are fundamental differences between Internet literature and all the above-mentioned literary and artistic works.
It doesn't have the sense of the screen, nor can it be told in a childish way like a fairy tale, nor can it be told in a short period of time like a short story, and then suddenly turn around to make people think deeply.
Internet articles must be fast, fast and refreshing, and must have a strong sense of immersion. This creates a fundamental conflict with shrinking themes.
Before me, many authors have actually tried to narrow down the subject matter in the field of online articles, but the cruel thing is that they were basically wiped out and no results were achieved.
Not to mention tens of thousands of orders, even high-quality products are basically not available.
I thought I could, but it turns out I can't either.
In addition, when I was starting the book, I also discussed this idea in detail with the author’s friends and editor.
Friends raised a lot of opinions. For example, when they found out that I didn’t give the protagonist any tricks, they expressed their disapproval.
Everyone has various creative ideas, such as making other people shrink, but the protagonist's body can be freely enlarged and reduced, or allowing the protagonist to maintain the original human strength, or a double time travel between two worlds, the protagonist can change the original size of the world.
A plan to bring the materials inside into the miniature world.
I have thought about all this, but I feel that it is not sci-fi enough, and it would only be fun to play such a big trick, so I still insist on my opinion.
But while persisting in my opinion, I did guess that the subscription results would not be very good.
Of course, I was still inflated at that time. After all, what I originally thought was that if I could get a thousand orders, with my style, I would always be able to write a masterpiece when I finished the book. Not to mention ten thousand orders, an average of four, five, or six thousand.
It shouldn't be difficult to order.
Before it was put on the shelves, I saw that I had a collection of more than 11,000, and I thought that ordering 1,000 for the first time was quite stable. After all, the platform is now engaged in anti-theft, and there should not be so many people looking for pirated copies.
But reality also taught me a lesson.
The subscription ratio of 25:1 is very shocking.
It is clear that all my collections this time are very clean and pure. There is not a single red envelope in the collection, and there is no moisture in it.
Why is it only twenty-five to one?
I don’t know if they are trying to gain weight or if they are turning to pirated copies. I really don’t know.
But the reality is still somewhat harsh.
However, even though I subscribed, I will still ensure that this book will not be unfinished and will still tell a complete story, but it will not be too long and the serialization time will not be too long.
My update speed will be slightly faster.
At this time, some readers will be confused, why did you have good grades and high subscriptions in the past, and the updates were as slow as squeezing out toothpaste? Now that you have jumped in, you only know that updates are being released. I'm afraid this is a bit mean.
I have something to say about this.
The mentality of writing a fire book and a street book are really different.
When I was writing a blockbuster, I was very nervous, and I was trembling with fear every step of the way. I was afraid that I might not do it well, and there would be something wrong somewhere, so I was cautious and cautious every step of the way. At that time, I couldn't go any faster, and I had to do my best to ensure the quality and stability of the plot.
, every time I write about an important plot, I have to fully mobilize my emotions before I dare to write.
But now that I’m all busy, I can be completely stress-free. I can let go and write whatever I want. I feel free and comfortable.
So my writing speed increased so naturally and smoothly. Last year, I didn’t even dare to think that I could go back to writing 10,000 words a day. It was an exaggeration.
So, I can imagine that after three years of achieving good results and writing highly subscribed books for three years, I felt really stressed and tired.
This time I thought of it as a reward for myself with a book about fighting, to give my brain a break, and to adjust my mentality.
Anyway, that’s it for this book.
I'd better appeal to brothers who are fattening, you can open a custom one.
Friends who watch pirated versions, please come to Qidian.com to support the original version.
Brothers and sisters who have monthly tickets in their hands, don't be stingy. Take pity on me, who is a loser. I can't get a thousand votes in a month, and I won't even be able to participate in the lottery.
The reason why I dare to ask for votes and subscriptions is that this book will still be completed well and will not be a incomplete story.
