"Goodbye Mina-san, I am Ling Mei, long time no see."

"It does take a long time. After all, we don't have anything to do in the current feature films. We are occasionally mentioned."

"So, do you guys miss me?"

"Whether they want it or not, I think readers who like you don't want to see you in the theater."

"Ani, you are thinking too much. First of all, it is a false proposition to say that this book has readers, so there are no readers who like us. Secondly, there is no second."

"Can we not say such depressing words..."

"The truth is always harsh on the creator's side, and I don't think there's any point in avoiding it."

"Okay, okay~"

"So Ani, what's the topic today."

"Why are you asking me again! Shouldn't you prepare this kind of thing yourself?"

"Ani, I'm just giving you some more lines, please don't be ungrateful."

"Then I really have to thank you!"

"Okay, let's talk about a relatively empty topic today, writing."

"Don't you already know the topic?"

"Ani, I told you, I'm just asking you to give you one more line."

"Okay, okay~ But why are we talking about this kind of thing all of a sudden? Don't we usually talk about the messy things in the creator's life?"

"Yeah, why. Ani, let me ask you a question first."

"what is the problem."

"What do you think is the most important thing for a successful author?"

"This kind of question is a vague and imprecise question. If it is more serious, there is no way to answer it. If you insist on answering it, you can only give an uncomfortable answer."

"why would you say so?"

"It's also very simple. How do you define 'the most important'? Nowadays, many people like to use hard work to cover up their incompetence, so they will naturally say that hard work is the most important. And talented people have a sense of superiority, and they will say that talent is the most important.

Important. But in my opinion, these things are far from the 'most important' and cannot even be included in the answer."

"Then what do you think can be called 'most important'?"

"It's very simple, it's 'existence'."

"explain."

"It means literally, exist in the world, keep breathing, stay alive, eat, sleep and go to the toilet, don't die in the hospital, make your body as healthy as possible, and don't let things slip at every turn. This is the most important factor for success, and of course it is also the key to success.

There is no single most basic and important factor in everything. If you can't even do it while alive, how can you talk about success? The world of creators is not ours. After people die, they disappear and can no longer interact with the world.

Interaction, nothing can be done. This is my answer, if I insist on an answer."

"What a simple answer."

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why would you say 'if you die, you lose'? No matter how failed you are, being alive is a success in itself, and you can use this to comfort yourself. No matter how unlucky or incompetent you are,

You have to give yourself some motivation to continue living. If you really can't find a reason, then think about it this way. After all, the chaotic and bastard world always wants to kill everyone. Keeping breathing is achieved in the battle against the world.

A staged victory.”

"Is this the reason why creators deceive themselves and insist on living?"

"Cheating? There's nothing wrong with you saying that. After all, the creator really has no achievements and no hope. He still worries about being fired from his current company every day."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because he can't achieve anything~~~ His current job is to run the self-media, pay attention to the operation. You can let him write articles quietly, but the operation is like a rogue~ It has been more than half a year, and he is responsible for it

The project still has no living fans. Every time he posts a tweet, it is like writing a novel. No one participates in playing single-player games or even holding events to give out red envelopes. The field he is responsible for is vertical and monotonous. Generally speaking, it is only for a specific region.

It’s a specific group, and the content of the article is boring and lacks interest, so it won’t attract people at all.”

"Then why not write something interesting and expand your audience."

"Because his boss refused to let him go and insisted on doing so-called 'professionalism.' However, the company had no way to provide first-hand information to the creator. All the information was second-hand or even third-hand goods that the creator had painstakingly dug out from the Internet.

How can something written like this be considered professional? The creator has long been aware of this problem, and has also mentioned plans to the boss to add interesting content and expand the readership. But the boss is not willing~ He must pretend to be professional.

I still want to crazily increase fans and attract traffic, how is this possible? The result is that creators are now racking their brains to piece together some 'professional' articles every day, and then worry about the fake reading volume they bought. Oh, the money to buy readings still has to be paid by the creators

He will pay for it himself first, and then reimburse him every month. He has applied for special funds three times, but they have all been ignored. You have to know that reimbursement is a very difficult thing for creators. He has no such thing as three times.

I can’t get the invoice for my consumption of RMB 10,000, so every time I have to spend money to buy some strange things online to get the invoice.”

"Why do you say it's something strange?"

"Because he doesn't need it~ But these things are relatively worth the money."

"for example?"

"Chainsaw, why do you think a handicapped otaku would buy a chainsaw? Will he lose his mind and become a murderer?"

"That's quite strange."

"Oh, and there's a reason why he's always worried about being fired."

"what reason."

"Because he always feels that he has not integrated into the company, or he feels that he has not made enough contributions for the company to recognize him."

"Is it because the performance is not good?"

"This is of course the main reason, and there are also some hidden things, such as something that happened recently."

"What kind of thing is it?"

"In October last year, the company recruited a colleague for his project, and the two of them ran it together. Due to personality reasons, the creator and this colleague didn't communicate much, and basically they were in the realm of reluctant cooperation. But as time went by, he

I am used to this situation, and I usually take the initiative to provide help to my colleagues. I just do what I can easily do without arranging it for my colleagues."

"What about the other party's performance?"

"Very cold. He never takes the initiative to share his ideas and know-how with the creator. If he doesn't take the initiative to ask, he won't know what the other person thinks. Of course, these are not big problems. This project does not have high demand for cooperation. The creator can handle it himself.

Part of it doesn’t require help from others.”

"In fact, being unwilling to ask for help from others is not independent. It is probably just a social disorder."

"Yes. The creator knew that he was estranged from his colleagues, but he didn't expect to be so estranged to this extent. Just last week, the creator wanted to assign a topic to his colleagues for writing tweets next week, but the other party suddenly told him that he

I will go to other departments to work on projects next week."

"What's the meaning."

"That is to say, the creator once again became one person in charge of the project. He estimated that this was because the project was not profitable and the boss felt that two people were too many, so he transferred one."

"Isn't this normal?"

"It's normal, but the execution process is not normal. From the boss to some of the creator's team leaders to other colleagues, everyone knows that this colleague is going to be transferred, but the creator only doesn't know, there is no notice, and there is not even a notification.

Someone gave him a reminder. He just went to work stupidly, and then suddenly found that his colleagues were gone."

"That's a little weird."

"Right? You can say that the creator has a personality problem, is not good at communication, is not proactive, and has poor intelligence acquisition ability. However, personnel transfers should be notified proactively, right? What does it mean to conduct a surprise attack? What if?

If the creator doesn't discuss the topic selection, he won't know about it at all. So you understand why he thinks he is not accepted by the company."

"..."

"Of course, complaints are complaints, and the creator will not blame others. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing happens because he is not capable enough to be taken seriously by others, and can only be a marginal person. If he can find it on his own

If he obtains first-hand information through channels, thinks of ways to expand his audience, and captures customers for advertising, can he still be treated like this? The only reason for all misfortunes, apart from the malice of the world, is that he is weak.

Factor, this is the truth in the world over there.”

"It's such a despairing reality."

"Yes~~~The creator insists on coding, saying it is a dream, but in fact it is a way to escape reality. Because he has no ability in reality and no way to improve his ability, so he can only use illusory

way to numb yourself and pretend to work hard to improve your ability. Compared with watching and playing games, coding can be regarded as a kind of creation and learning, which can at least make you feel more at ease. However, everyone has also seen the level of coding by the creator.

That’s the virtue. Not only is the whole story filled with dialogue, but it also doesn’t know how to describe scenes, actions, or expressions. It also has no strict logic and plot arrangements, let alone foreshadowing and suspense. It’s crazy if this kind of thing is popular!

"

"But the creator is indeed very serious about coding."

"Who cares whether you are serious or not? Reality only recognizes results. If you write poorly, it is not good. No one will eat what you have worked so hard to achieve! To put it bluntly, the creator is just writing what he likes. He doesn't care at all.

I didn’t go out of my way to create something that readers like. This kind of effort is neither sufficient nor relevant. I didn’t seriously arrange the plot, didn’t seriously think about conflicts, didn’t seriously control the rhythm, didn’t seriously improve the writing style, and didn’t seriously try to figure it out.

Audience preferences, tell me what’s the use of such seriousness? Isn’t this kind of effort self-deception and escaping from reality? Seriously, if you spend so much time writing something like this that no one will read, you might as well just watch it and have fun

Games can at least be fun, right? Now coding is already a burden to the creator, and coding is not fun at all, so why bother?"

"You are right, but Ani, you have to understand a fact."

"What?"
