The Return of the Martial Ancestor of Martial Arts - #547 - Final words
The book was completed. The book was first published on November 21, 2018, and was completed on May 6, 2019. It took 5 months and 16 days, a total of 166 days, and the book was completed with 1.12 million words.
Let’s talk about the situation:
The Tianxuan chapter of this book is pretty good, and the results are acceptable.
I originally wanted to end it directly, but everyone said that it was too early to end at 980,000 words. I still want to continue reading Lin Dongdong’s story.
I thought, OK, let’s continue writing, and write the story of Wu Zu’s journey to the Thousand Planes.
There is no original work to modify in The Thousand Planes, so I have to edit it myself. I said my originality level is not good, but everyone said they don’t mind it, so let’s give it a try.
Then, everyone saw the result.
The average subscription dropped from 800 to 700, the daily new additions dropped from 5000.6000 to 2000, and the 24-hour follow-up dropped from 600 to 200.
In other words, there are currently about 200 people subscribing to this book.
However, my readership is more than 200 people. Everyone knows what this means.
In fact, I can tolerate my bad grades. I didn’t get good grades in my last book, but I still wrote 2.4 million words because people read what I wrote.
As long as there are people watching, I am happy and motivated. Really, I feel a sense of accomplishment.
Writing is inherently a matter of seeking recognition.
Why did this book end at 1.12 million words?
Because when I was writing the story of Daqian, there were always people saying that my original writing was poor, that it didn’t work here, that it didn’t work there, so hurry up and finish the book, hurry up and start a new book, every day.
Who said that if you write an original plot casually, you will definitely support it?
Every time I finish typing, I don’t know what to say when I see these comments.
Of course, I would not do such a naughty operation as blaming the readers for their poor appreciation of my own writing, and it would be meaningless.
Anyway, when I was a reader, when I saw such nonsense as “this generation of readers is not good”, I would just laugh it off, like a clown.
Because I just suck at writing. If you want to write well, why will readers run away? Why don’t you let others talk about your bad writing? Right, that doesn’t make sense.
Some people say that you should not be swayed by comments, as long as readers support you.
Comments can deceive people, but background subscriptions cannot. The fact is that more than half of the genuine readers have left, and it is still passing by. Everyone is running out, running and running.
In order to save the last face for yourself, it’s better to stop.
I originally thought that like the previous book, I would write a large volume of 600,000/700,000 words and end it, but ended up finishing it with 130,000 words.
Things are unpredictable, and I’m afraid I won’t have a chance in this life.
In addition, there are always some pirated readers shouting to support me, but they don’t spend a dime, and then they say that your writing is really good, and I will support you in the next book.
how? You read one book for free and want to continue reading a second book for free?
Collect your magical powers and leave quickly. There are thousands of good books to read, and you really don’t lack this one of mine.
Okay, now that the venting is over, let’s talk about something else.
My originality is not good. I couldn’t resist you so I decided to continue writing. They all promised that they would not dislike me. Who knew that readers are all fickle and fickle…
If your thoughts are immature, you can easily be led astray by readers and blame yourself.
The reader said he wanted to read the back part, so he just had to write it. Tsk, you really dare to write it, and you don’t even think about how much you weigh. Who gave you the courage?
Even though originality is not good, I still have to succeed in writing an original plot and take the lead in writing it.
People, never do things you are not good at, and don’t ask me why.
One reader said it well: You obviously don’t have enough background, so why do you force yourself to write?
Furthermore, in order to rush for serialization every day and rush to work, the quality of what is produced will inevitably decline. It is not surprising that everyone ran away.
You’re right, I don’t know how to count myself, so why don’t I know how to use my strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give up when things go well?
If I open a new book in the future, I will definitely not be original and continue to write fanfics honestly.
Writing fan fiction can help you earn some royalties to support your family, but writing original works may not even cover your electricity bills.
As for the new book plan~
I will probably take some time off after finishing this book, and the new book will be released around the end of the month.
The new book is still a fan novel, and I haven’t decided what to write about it yet.
Do you have any recommendations? The only requirement is that it be more popular, and no one will watch the less popular adaptations.
If you all leave me a message, I will see it, and I also want to hear your opinions.
Then, each person should try to recommend only one book. Just say what he likes the most. Don’t throw them out all at once. I have difficulty choosing, so it’s hard to choose.
Finally, I finished the book. It seems that I have never asked anyone for a reward since I started the book. I don’t dare to ask for it, I don’t dare to say it, and I don’t dare to ask for fear of being beaten.
This time I finally have a legitimate reason, please give me a reward, thank you.
Friends, we have a long way to go. I hope we can meet again by chance.
Gentlemen, take care!
