Doomsday: I, a top killer, became a lolita

This book is still finished^ ^ When

I wrote this line of text, I was a little inexplicably melancholy.

I'm a very ceremonial and sad person about the 'end'.

When an item dies, or graduation or leaving a job, I feel a sense of 'a journey is over, it's time to say goodbye'.

But in fact, life is made up of many such journeys, big and small, and I will face the same 'end' countless times.

Writing novels was actually a small dream before.

When I was in middle school, I wrote a novel full of rhetoric in a small book with a crooked handwriting.

I don't know why it was fired, and it was passed around in the class to watch.

At that time, I may have thought, 'Will I actually be able to write a novel of my own one day?' ’。

It's just that when I grew up, I never thought I would have the courage to pick it up again.

After all, compared to work, this thing is not profitable.

Maybe you see those authors on the news and headlines making a lot of money, or you see the small authors on short video platforms basking in the income of more than 10,000 a month.

You may think: Maybe it's really easy to make money writing novels?

In fact, people may just not see the silent majority, and the vast majority of losers will not have the courage to post on the platform.

They start in silence, get weak data, have a frustrated self-confidence, and then leave in silence.

It will not be seen by anyone, and it will become a small drop in the ocean of online literature, without a ripple.

So I feel lucky that this is my first attempt and has gained so many lovely readers.

Looking at the cumulative number of readers, it is 450,000, which is something I dare not imagine.

So I am very grateful to you for always being with me.

Some of you persevered every day to generate electricity for love, some of you checked me in, some of you sent me very expensive gifts, and some of you left interesting comments to make this book more fun.

In fact, from the first time I dropped data in 100,000 words, I thought about giving up.

But fortunately, I am a person who wants to lose face, and the first novel written by Zheng'er Bajing must not be a eunuch, and I also have you with me.

I wanted to give up countless times in the middle, and finally came to the end.

Thank you for having you.

【About the creation of web novels】

I also have some humble opinions about the creation of web novels that I want to share.

In fact, I've always been a person who prepares for things, so I've spent a lot of energy researching how attractive novels really are.

There are so many people on the Internet who share their experiences, and I even paid to join the knowledge community to learn.

The knowledge inside is also very effective, and writing web articles can be created with formulas.

For example, there must be conflicts and contradictions at the beginning, reflecting your gold finger and core selling points.

For example, what poison points must not be touched.

For example, how to arrange the intensity of the cool point, and how the classic three-act style helps you lay the groundwork for the plot.

Every abstract meaning in you can be implemented in the novel: the call to adventure, the mentor, the death of the mentor, and so on.

Do you think I want to tell you that writing online articles can be successful if you write according to routines?

No, in fact I'm only dragged down by one very simple thing: daily updates.

I feel like I was really aware of these formulas and techniques at the beginning, and I'll give you a few examples.

For example, before the first encounter with gluttony in the mall, those annoying face-painted survivors.

In fact, a formula is applied: make a nasty guy and let him die a terrible death.

People get pleasure from such things, so please study human nature slowly.

But soon, the daily updates completely brought me down, and I no longer had the effort to think about these tips and formulas, which also showed my newbie side.

Because the big guys don't even need this experience, they pick up the pen and it's a refreshing story.

And I, it seems that I only need to update 4,000 words a day, but thinking about the plot often makes me scratch my ears and scratch my cheeks and have a headache.

But the web article you must update every day, as long as one day it is interrupted, even if you are obviously on leave, your data will fall to make you very, very distressed.

Breaking/resting is unforgiven in the world of web writing, and even if your readers forgive you, data and algorithms will not forgive you.

They will teach you a good lesson with the most realistic descent slope.

So in order to maintain the 4,000 words that seemed to take an hour or two to write, my initial 14-chapter savings were quickly exhausted.

When your manuscript is consumed, your day becomes improvisational, which sounds very free, but in fact the quality of your novel will deteriorate.

When you are worrying about these 4,000 words every day, just thinking about the reasonable plot and not conflicting with the front is enough to consume your brain power.

I was also because of this matter, and when I got to the end, I could no longer apply the routines and formulas I had learned before.

Routines and formulas are not pejorative terms, because in fact, your seemingly cool texts are pure for the use of routines and formulas.

On the contrary, web articles that do not use routines and formulas are not 'cool' enough, and will make your article look like there is no sense of expectation, no desire to read it.

So I was also full of doubts to myself: 'I wrote it like this, do I really want to read it?' ’。

Before I started writing this novel, I felt like I was an inspiration gourd full of creative desire.

Now this inspiration gourd is empty, all poured out by me, and all the plots I want to tell have been written into it.

This is also the reason why you say that my composition is complicated (ehe~).

Whenever someone succeeds in saying the source of a meme or plot, I'm especially happy because I'm not alone.

In this era, there are people who have seen the same works and had the same emotions as me.

I believe that we must all come from the same collective unconscious.

It's just that when the gourd that represents my creative desires and emotions is empty, creation changes from a joy to a pain.

As soon as I say this, I am particularly envious of Japanese light novels, they may write tens of thousands of words a month, they can have enough space and time to design the plot, to cleverly conceive.

There is a concept abroad called "creator burnout".

I don't know much at translating, but the description of language pales in comparison, and as I say in my novel, language is something that limits our human expression.

I've experienced this thing called burnout from start to finish, and the word is so graphic.

It was like a flame that started burning me every time I opened my eyes until I finished updating today and then tomorrow came again.

This kind of burnout makes me probably have to think once or twice a day, 'Ahh Or break and run.'"

But fortunately, with you, I didn't give up.

These are my truest thoughts xD.

【About the essence

of web literature】In fact, after understanding the creation methods of web literature, I deeply understand one thing, web literature is a kind of 'spiritual drug'.

The quotation marks here are because I don't want it to be a derogatory term, because reading online articles is happy, and this happiness is real.

But I also want to set the essence apart so that people understand what they are looking at.

The happiness of online sales is a kind of 'satisfaction of desire'.

Your desire for conquest, your desire for manifestation before people, your lust, your lust for money and power.

When you bring in the protagonist, you will be satisfied, so as to secrete dopamine and get pleasure.

Web writers are created by web writers, and a considerable number of web writers come for money, including my own motives are not pure.

In order to create works that have more readers, have a higher completion rate, and are more engaging, we must use the routines and formulas I just mentioned.

There is a common saying here that 'the plot is for coolness'.

So you can see that we make one by one 'cool points', they are divided just right, so that you can't stop watching and satisfy your various desires.

It is well designed.

We are the producers of 'drugs', the platform is the traffickers of 'drugs', and you are the audience.

Why is this?

Not.... This is probably because real life is too hard, after all, everyone's Earth Online is Hardmode.

We naturally have this spiritual need.

I can't go into detail here, let's experience it slowly.

I am taking this matter so seriously, and I just hope that everyone will not be too involved and use online literature as a means of entertainment.

Don't bring the core of the web article: 'get something for nothing' into real life, which may make your life more difficult.

Don't bring the lewdness in the online text into real life, otherwise you will be accidentally scolded by others for saying 'Puxin male true head'.

In addition, reading web articles is still very happy!

And now looking back, would it have been a more pure creation when I got into burnout and didn't use formulas?

Because what I imagined in my mind was the story of Xiaoyu and Yueyue, the plot of the two of them, and there was no mixed with cool points in it.

I don't know about that, but I want to believe that they are real, and I want them to be happy.

That's why I kept saying that I don't send knives, and you see Ning Xuan doesn't send knives either.

Normally, the role of the younger sister is the most impressive and difficult to calm only with a knife.

For example, the painted pear clothes of the dragon clan.

With this technique, I may be able to make people remember Ning Xuan all the time, but instead of this, I still want them to be happy.

I can't bear to stab them, probably because they have lived in my heart, not my tools to make you remember.

If you forget them, you will forget!

If I were to write a novel one day, I am afraid I would not write it like this again, just this one.

What you're going to see is, 'No emotion, it's all skill,' hahahaha

[About malice]

The rating of this book is really high, at first it reached 9.5, then the rating system changed once and fell to 8.x, and then rose back to the current 9.4.

Thank you for being so willing to give me 5 stars together instead of giving them in installments.

I've done something similar before, so I know pretty much what happens to you when your very subjective content is exposed to traffic.

That is malice from strangers.

This problem is a very common problem for web writers, B station up masters and other professions.

I was lucky because I didn't get too many bad reviews because of the high ratings, but there were still bad reviews.

Really malicious, I also reported it.

Hundreds of thousands of people came to see my stuff and left comments, which made my 'courage to be hated' and went to the next level.

I'm not saying this to tell you how hateful the 'little sunspot' of this book is.

Instead, I want to share the 'courage to be hated' with those of you who are willing to read my books here."

Because I like you.

I want to tell you that there are bound people in this world who don't like you.

Even if you are a very good person and are very kind, there will be people who are not used to you, will speak ill of you, and even maliciously speculate on you.

From your one-sided actions, extract his conjectures, and then judge you with words and facts with logic.

This is absurd and real.

I want to tell you if one day, or at this very moment, you are very unfortunate to encounter such malice.

I want you to remember that you don't have to respond to their expectations.

You don't have to make everyone like you.

I can tell you that the people who hate you are completely unimportant to you, they are not even as good as the bubble of you pulled this morning.

At least that bubble poop used to be the food that provided you with energy.

You always, always, always just have to respond to the expectations of those who love you.

Leave your patience, kindness, and enthusiasm to those who love you, and leave your energy to them to respond to them.

Accept the fact that 'not everyone likes me' and love those who love you.

That's what I want to share with you, 'the courage to be hated.'

I am very grateful for this creative experience, which has made me more sure of the ideas in my heart, and it has also filled me with energy and motivation.

【Goodbye】Many

people ask me if I will write the next book, I think the probability is still not, the input-output ratio of writing online articles is still too low.

I'm just one of the nameless drops in that ocean, and now I'm going to leave without silence (boom).

Web literature consumes me much more mentally than physically, so I most likely will rest.

Before you leave, share my favorite sentences with you, thank you for being here, and thank you for always being with me:

[Whether you are studying something or thinking about any point of view, just ask yourself what the facts are and what the truth that these facts prove. Never allow yourself to be influenced by what you prefer to believe, or think that people will be more beneficial to society. Just look at what is the truth.

[Love is wise, hate is stupid.

These are the two sentences of a 1959 BBC interview with the philosopher Russell, who most wanted to leave for posterity.

I am very touched and I want to pass them on to you now.

I'm presumptuous, and we're going to see you again :D
