It's definitely a success. Thanks to all the bosses who supported this book!
I would like to thank all the bosses who supported this book. I never thought that this book could be so popular. I am very excited and thank you again.
As a pure new author, I encountered many pitfalls with this book. From the beginning, I didn't know why so many people supported and liked the theme of trains. The new book list suddenly rushed to the first place in the category and the top ten of the overall list. To be honest, I was completely confused at the time, because I myself didn't know why there were such results.
At that time, I really didn’t know what the poison points, routines, and rhythms were. I just thought of whatever came to my mind. So before it was put on the shelves, many bosses would find that the style changed from time to time, the direction was not very clear, and there were many loopholes in the settings. I was scolded a lot...
I was really confused at that time, because you don’t know why readers like your book, so I paid close attention to all the comments and data, and revised the previous chapters again and again, trying to find the appetite of readers.
It was not until just before the book was put on the shelves, that is, after the plot of the weird radio station was completed, that I was clear about what I wanted to write, and then I started to update with great motivation, although at that time, my following had dropped extremely badly and almost halved. After the book was put on the shelves, the data of 700 to 1600 collections was only averagely and subscriptions.
Although I was a little discouraged at one point, because I had found the direction at that time, I still began to expand the outline and improve the world view with full confidence, wanting to write what I thought was the end of the world.
My impression of the end of the world is The Wandering Earth, The Three-Body Problem, Interstellar, Independence Day, Pacific Rim, and Mad Max...
Influenced by many excellent works, I think doomsday should be serious and heavy. It is a process for all mankind from panic to struggle, from confusion to resistance. It should be a major test of human civilization, a magnificent baptism, and a hymn of courage!
Even so, I am worried because, in my opinion, this way of writing may not be exciting.
Because I have read relatively few online novels, I superficially believe that the good points are excitement, showing off in front of people, slapping people in the face, grabbing treasures and upgrading, being invincible, being selfish and having advanced information, but I am not good at these, or I write them like history, so the various exciting points I wanted to write in the early stage were poisonous points in the eyes of readers, and the reversals I wanted turned out to be history...
Then the question is, if online literature doesn’t have these, then how can this doomsday literature be interesting?
I am not sure.
But the problem is, when I began to develop this desperate doomsday in depth, started a life-and-death battle, a race against time and night, began to change the protagonist's lone wolf perspective to the perspective of the human population, and began to stop cheating for the sake of cheating, and faced the despair brought by the doomsday seriously, the collections and subscriptions including monthly tickets increased... and then it broke through the boutique level 20 days after it was put on the shelves. That was the result of many readers who silently read the book, one vote at a time and one chapter at a time, supporting this doomsday story from the day of apocalypse. It was also because of this that made me realize that this kind of doomsday is also a direction. As long as you write the story well, there will still be people who like it.
Just like a reader commented to me after reading the review of the superpower:
[Cola, just focus on writing your doomsday world. I have another choice for you if you want to show off and get slapped in the face.]
I:……
Then, I insisted on developing this doomsday story from the perspective of a movie (because I like watching movies, not comparing this book to those classic masterpieces, which are incomparable), and the results soared with the support of the bosses, increasing by more than 2000 per month (but some plot problems occurred in the middle, otherwise it should have been completed in February, which I have mentioned before.)
To be honest, Wan Ding was very excited and happy, and he immediately collected 20 yuan. He didn't expect that the first book could achieve such results. Kele is extremely grateful to the boss who supported this book.
Because this is the first book with a million words, the world view, setting, outline, including materials, mecha, maps, etc. are getting more and more, which caused my Excel document to reach 30M. It is also because of this that loopholes and bugs are inevitable. In this regard, I hope that all bosses will bear with me. I will correct the errors and typos pointed out in the book reviews as soon as I see them, and strive to improve everyone's reading experience.
Another thing is pictures. Coke likes pictures very much. Sometimes there are two or three pictures in one chapter. I personally like to describe the story content in a vivid and emotional way, just to make the story more immersive. Since it is a bit like science fiction, I like to find some pictures of those strange mechanical settings, unknown creatures, and doomsday environments. I saw some people commented that they don’t like to look at pictures. Regarding this, I can only say that I bear with it.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to beg all the bosses for a wave of monthly tickets! Thank you very much!
The overdue updates due to my previous leave to go back to my hometown will be made up before the end of the month!
