Chapter 86 Remarks on the launch
Today it is today.
It's finally on the shelves.
Thank you to all the readers for your support, rewards, monthly tickets and recommendation tickets.
I would like to thank my fellow authors who wrote books with me and chatted with me to relieve my anxiety.
I would like to thank my editor Ziliang for his patience in helping me analyze the data and submit recommendations.
Thanks to China Literature Group for providing this writing platform.
Thank the Party, thank the country, and thank the people.
It is because of your support that this book has been able to come to this point.
Today's chapter will be postponed to 12 noon sharp!
In addition, the daily update time will be adjusted from the relatively dark time of after 12:00 am to the Yang time of 12:00 noon.
Try changing the update time and switching the yin and yang.

At last.

I bow my head and thank you very much!
I will update two chapters today.
Wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days.

To be honest, this book is the one that received the best feedback from readers during the free period.
There are almost no negative reviews in the comment section.
There are also monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and rewards. (Compared to previous books)
It's still okay to follow up.
But when it came to tens of thousands of words, bad signs had already appeared.
This book has very poor sales and it is quite difficult to grow its collection.
Maybe it’s because of the choice of subject matter.
It may also be that my writing is not good enough.
In short, there may be many reasons.
But that's the result.
At that time, I was still comforting myself.
I feel that by the time the 100,000-word intelligent push is completed, everything will be fine.
According to the rules of the free period for new books on Qidian.com, there will be a wave of powerful recommendations around the 110,000 to 20,000-word mark. Generally speaking, every book will have this recommendation, which can increase your collection significantly.
Many books have thousands or even tens of thousands of collections every day.
Before I wrote 100,000 words, I had been looking forward to this day.
I thought that I could take advantage of this opportunity to reverse the downward trend, ride on the wind and take off.
But it's a pity.
My smart push came, but the effect was quite poor.
The bad sign of poor traffic when the book was tens of thousands of words long has finally continued to the present, leading to an even worse situation.
Not to mention a gain of thousands, there wasn't even a gain of several hundred.
On the highest day, the price only increased by 300 and there were less than 300 collections.
Moreover, this is not just the role of simple smart push.
It also includes the effects of other recommended positions.
Because the effect is so poor, I very much doubt whether my smart push is really coming.
In other words, it has been accumulating strength and quietly gathering momentum, preparing to give me a big boost.
I fantasize that one day when I wake up and open the Writer's Assistant to check the data, the collection in the background will usher in a huge increase.
But this day has not yet arrived.
On a sunny morning.
I opened QQ and clicked on the window where I edited the boss.
With trepidation, I typed the next line of words.
After double checking, confirm sending.
Me: "Boss, is my smart push a little bit bad?"
"It went up by more than 100 the day before yesterday, by a few dozen yesterday, and today it's estimated to be around 300."
edit:"?"
"Why do you count by hundreds?"
Me: “…” Editor: “Don’t panic, your smart recommendations should still be associated within the category and have not been categorized yet, wait a little longer.”
Me: "Okay! Watch me take off!"
……
I feel much more at ease.
Keep thinking that things will get better.
Everything is just the darkness before dawn.
However, the bad signs continue.
The vague hope seems to come tomorrow, and I am constantly waiting for tomorrow.
I became more and more anxious and worried, so much so that I didn't sleep well for many days in a row.
But it never came.
Smart push seems to have been classified, but the effect is still lukewarm.
I originally thought that after the classification, there would be a surge in collections.
As a result, the bad signs continued day after day, and finally led to a bad result.
That single-day increase of less than 300 was originally thought to be just the beginning.
Unexpectedly, it has reached its peak.
It was not until the book was about to be put on the shelves and I had written 180,000 words that I barely reached 3,000 collections.
I originally thought I could have a dream start with a high first order.
After going around in circles, in the end, we still had to start with a low first order.
I asked the editor to read it.
It's about 400 now, and I estimate the first order will be 200 to 300?
Hahahahahahaha...
Perhaps, this is life.
Eight out of ten things are not as we wish.
After all, I can't be like many protagonists in novels.
Once you have a goal, you can move forward towards it.
Along the way, I received flowers, applause, cheers, and all kinds of positive and negative feedback.
Looking at the goal that is gradually approaching, with high morale, confidence and determination arise spontaneously in my heart.
Shouting loudly: "I was born with talent and it will be useful. Even if I lose all my money, I will get it back!"
"Writing a book? Isn't it enough to have hands?"
"Excellent products, 10,000 orders at your fingertips!"
"Great Platinum God, do you have any kind of spirit?"
"I will definitely take your place someday!"
……
Not only writing books, but my job also seems to be in trouble.
The feeling of frustration after all the efforts but to no avail.
As frequent as sunrise and sunset, it comes every day.
They are constantly destroying my self-confidence, eroding my will, and denying my path.
They are like nightmares, following you everywhere and lingering around.
I waved my fists, trying to defeat them, but it was in vain.
I wanted to break the situation, but I couldn't find the focus. I always spent a lot of effort but achieved little results.
I feel like I am walking on a rough road shrouded in fog and darkness.
Sometimes I wonder if I can take a different path.
But when I look around, I feel lost and at a loss. The further I go in life, the smaller the room for choices I have.
Reason tells me that the path I am taking is the best choice. If I give up, everything will become worse.
So, no matter how hard or difficult it is, we can only grit our teeth and keep going.
I don’t know whether the direction I am heading in is correct, how far I am from my goal, and how many twists and turns and hardships there will be in the middle.
But since I have chosen this path and I am not dead yet, I can only keep moving forward.
Mencius said: "… Therefore, when Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and make him physically exhausted, so that he will not be disturbed in his actions. This is to stimulate his mind and harden his nature, and to improve his ability. People always make mistakes before they can correct them. They are troubled in their hearts, weighed in their thoughts, and then they act. They show it in their faces and express it in their voices, and then they understand…"
Perhaps, what I am going through is this kind of training.
I hope I can get through this difficult period as soon as possible and see the dawn.
When the time comes, when we suddenly look back on the road ahead and see the many hardships we have experienced, we will be able to say, like the Great Love Immortal Venerable, "It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
Finally, I wish all my brothers all the best, good health, prosperous career, great fortune, and the realization of their grand ambitions!
