I Am the Swarm

Before I knew it, the book was over 250,000 words. First of all, I would like to thank you all for your support.

This book is the author's first book to hit the shelves. The idea of ​​writing a book came up in the second half of last year. In fact, when I first wrote the book, I wanted to write about the Zerg theme for the first book. But when it comes time to write. Only to find that too much knowledge is needed. Because of laziness, I temporarily gave up this subject, and planned to write another book about practicing hands first.

Therefore, the first book was set on the theme of the end of the world. After thinking for a long time, I came up with a logical and self-consistent setting.

Then, I started writing in October, covered my head and wrote for more than a month, saved 200,000 words and started uploading. As a result, many problems were found after uploading, and I realized that there are still so many things to pay attention to in writing.

Doomsday themes are not easy to write, and there are many places that are easy to 404. Before uploading, you have to re-edit the text, which is equivalent to half the cost of writing in the early stage. Novices do not have a good grasp of this aspect, and they don’t even know how to modify it to meet the requirements. And the grades were not good, and it took a long time for the golden finger to come out.

A few days after uploading, it happened that on December 1st there was an essay contest. As a reason for myself, I stopped the book, but fortunately, no one read it...

This book was born under such circumstances. After I started writing, I realized that writing a book is really tiring, especially this kind of science fiction. Sometimes I searched a lot of information and wrote a few sentences. Since writing this book, the author's knowledge of various biology has soared, which can be regarded as some gains.

But as a newcomer, the route of this book is really a challenge. In the early stage of the story, the protagonist does not have any communication with intelligent creatures, and it is completely a large-scale autistic environment.

The protagonist's predecessor was just an ordinary person without any special training. The author refers to many social experiments, such as staying in a hut for thirty days, and the island survival challenge. But they are not completely desperate. They know that this is an experiment and can be stopped at any time. They are still in human society.

Even Robinson Robinson has lived on a deserted island for 28 years, but he still has a savage friend, and he knows that he has not left the earth. On the other side of the sea, human civilization still exists, maybe a ship will pass by the island one day, although it will take longer.

But the protagonist is really desperate in this situation. He turned into a bug and fled to a strange planet. In this case, it is a good thing for ordinary people to persist in surviving. The author is a novice with limited writing skills, so he can't express the protagonist's complex emotions of depression and world-weariness once he is free.

Moreover, the protagonist has been alone in the early stage without any communication, which is also a difficulty. The author also wants to add some intelligent bugs, such as Heida, so that he can interact with the protagonist, which can not only reduce the number of words, but also make it more interesting.

But before writing the book, the outline has already been listed, and changing this means that everything must be changed. Moreover, it would be very abrupt for the worm to suddenly have advanced intelligence, which is not in line with the original intention of the author to write this book.

Because this book is about equal to the author's first book, it is the voyage of dreams. So between catering to the trend and dreaming, I chose the latter.

Thus, the book has a very boring beginning. It was originally a niche article, the protagonist is still a bug, and the sense of substitution is also poor. There are only dozens of collections when there are more than 80,000 characters. Then came a website recommendation, added more than 100 favorites in a week, and then there was no more. The flutter was miserable, and the results were very dismal.

When I first wrote the book, I also added some friends through writer assistants and forums. After they knew this situation, they all said that they should cut it quickly. It is a waste of time to continue writing.

But the author has already cut a book for some reasons before, if he continues to cut it, maybe he will get used to it, and there will never be a book that can be finished.

At that time, I thought, even if no one reads it, even if I generate electricity for love, I have to finish the book according to my own ideas.

As the story gradually unfolded, more and more people watched it. The author admires these friends very much, because there is no recommendation, and the author himself wants to find this book, but he can't find it without searching the title.

Recommendations, favorites, and monthly tickets have gradually appeared, as have comments and chapters, and there are even some rewards later. Whenever I receive a system prompt, the author will be very happy, because it is a kind of support and encouragement.

I thought it would be nice to have a few hundred collections by the time it was put on the shelves. Unexpectedly, the number of collections began to increase a lot in the past few days. There are dozens of collections every day, not only the achievement of 1,000 collections, but more than 1,700 collections so far.

Although it is incomparable with the collections of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of others, it has far exceeded the author's expectations. Thank you again for your support.

Now, this work is also on the shelves. I hope everyone will continue to support it, and those who are capable will support and subscribe. After all, generating electricity for love is also a helpless move, and it would be even better to earn some money to subsidize the family. Since writing the book, I have almost no leisure time, staying up until twelve o'clock every night. In many places, especially the transition scenes, I can't write, and almost all of them are deducted word by word.

The family members without company have great opinions on this, and they can make some money.

It’s the first time to write a testimonial on the shelf, so let’s write it here first.

Finally, ask for a wave of favorites, tickets and subscriptions, thank you everyone.
