Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

This book has been written for a year and a half since April 2023.

So far: average subscription is 4442, high subscription is 17309.

For me, it is already a very impressive achievement.

This is my first fully written book. The plots that should be filled are filled, and the story has a beginning and an end.

In the middle, there are indeed a lot of twists and turns.

Readers who know it all know, so I won’t go into details here.

The whole book has 3.4 million words, and it took a year and a half to write, which seems to be quite fast, haha.

This is even when I stopped updating for several months in the middle. I really admire my writing ability.

Let me talk about why I stopped updating for so long.

Originally, this book should have been completed 4 months ago, and I have written the last work.

But as a reader said: the expectation is too high, and the final work of "Tears of Mermaid" is not easy to write.

I thought of countless versions, but I was not satisfied.

When I finally started writing, I found that as long as I followed the original idea, it would be the best.

…

I am quite satisfied with the version of "Tears of Mermaid". You can go and have a look.

…

This book looks like a game, but it actually emptied my life.

It is also very interesting to say that the origin of everything started from "Bed Man".

I have been an introverted and closed person since I was a child, and I don't play with other children much.

I like reading books, animation, games, and fantasy...

I don't have friends, so I put my desire to express myself into words.

So many ideas in this book come from my student days.

It started with "Bed Man".

When I was in the first year of high school, I liked a girl in my class very much.

She was my deskmate and was very beautiful, at least to me.

Wasn't it popular to pass small notebooks at that time? I would draw on my notebook and write some short stories and give them to her.

She also liked the stories I wrote.

For me, writing is just a way to convey emotions to the girls I like.

Whenever she took the small notebook full of words from me to read, I was full of anticipation.

She said, "Miwan, you will become a great writer in the future."

I don't know if you are great or not, but at least you have become an author.

The first short story I completed was "Bed Man".

It was more than 30,000 words. I wrote it in a notebook, word by word.

I still remember the mood when I was writing, imagining that the hedgehog girl was the person sitting in front of me.

Bed Man is a true portrayal of myself.

Then she said after reading it that she loved Bed Man.

For me, that was enough.

...

After Bed Man, there were "Reverse Man", "Half Heaven", "Tears of Mermaid"...

Many, many ideas, like seeds buried one by one in the student days.

I often think that those stories that I have accumulated may not be seen one day.

Just like I wrote this book, I don't know if she will see it.

By the way, "Tears of Mermaid" is a short story I wrote when I was a sophomore in high school.

I still remember the rainy night when I hid from the rain with her:

It was very strange, the rain turned into mist, and it became magical under the light.

So I understand what Fang Wenshan wrote: The most beautiful thing is the rainy day, the eaves where you and I hid together.

Rainy days, I really like it.

…

Later, I was admitted to a good 985 key university and studied software engineering.

After graduation, I went to the pig farm, then to Perfect World, and then to Tencent...

The resume is actually quite good.

My initial dream was to make games, but when I really made games, I found that this thing deviated too much from what I imagined.

The domestic game environment is probably like this, making money is the first priority, and whether the game is good or not seems to be so important.

What's more, I am far from being able to lead the project.

I became a producer myself, and all the projects I worked on were cut off.

…

Maybe life is like this, there is always a gap between dreams and reality, and I am destined to be a person who lives for dreams.

During that time, I was actually quite confused. I was domesticated and became a machine for making games.

One day, I contacted my deskmate in front of me. At that time, she had already married and became someone else's mother.

She said, "Miwan, shouldn't you be a writer?"

At that moment, I felt like I was hit by a bullet.

I remembered the scene when I showed her the novel I wrote in high school.

I remember when I graduated from high school, she held my hand on the school playground, and her whole body was stiff.

I remember when I was in college, she came to the school to find me, and she sang a song for me alone on the lawn at night.

I didn't have the courage to confess, because I was afraid that if I was rejected, we would not be friends in the future...

...

But I wrote all these in the book.

So I published this book.

Well, writing is the continuation of my dream, and it is also an important path for me to test my game ideas.

At least here, I can say that maybe I don't have to make money-making games to be loved by players.

Here, I want to say to her, well, I am writing a book now.

Writing a book.

That's enough, right?
