I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man

I thought I would be relieved when the book was finished.

But in fact, when I wrote the four words of the closing remarks, I felt unusually calm inside. I felt no loss, no excitement, and no relief.

It's just a very ordinary and ordinary mood.

In fact, in the past few years of writing books, I used to rack my brains to write a good introduction/completion speech for each book, but now I no longer want to write these illusory things... I have gone through it once for every book, and there are not so many. The speech can be said.

However, the situation of this book is somewhat special, and readers who have followed it all the way here may still have many doubts in their minds. So I plan to treat my closing speech as a more private tea party, in a less formal way, where I can talk about whatever comes to my mind and talk to everyone about my heart.

1. The problem of book performance.

The book currently sells for an average of 9,000, with a high order of 24,000. After finishing it, I should be able to get the 10,000 order badge, but I don’t know when.

Moreover, with the current single update every day, it can basically stabilize at the top three or four hundred best-sellers. In fact, this sales is gradually declining, which is quite comfortable.

However, I personally don’t like to write long articles just for the sake of watery content, because this state actually consumes the author’s enthusiasm for writing and reduces his sensitivity to the online article market.

Of course, it’s also possible that my current income is not high enough. If I can consistently rank among the top 100 best-sellers every day, I can be successful for the rest of my life! (Breaking sound)

2. Book quality issues

Let's be honest about this. Friends who have been following it all the way should know that the quality of the book probably declined all the way from the beginning of Elden's Circle to the completion of the book.

Although the failure to write well is an objective factor, let me use a subjective perspective to quibble with you that there is nothing wrong with the failure to write well later.

The first one is that I don’t have any experience with long novels. If you click on my author profile picture, you can see that each of my previous books is very short.

Five hundred thousand words, six hundred thousand words, nine hundred thousand words, and it’s over.

This book is already the one with the most words I have ever written, 1.38 million words. I originally wanted to reach 150, but my energy dropped so seriously in the final stage that I would even be in a daze for half an hour when I opened the coding software and didn’t know what to do. Write what.

I am a very passionate author. When writing a book, I must first get myself excited so that I can write better and better.

The advantage of a writer with my personality is that when inspiration comes, the quality of the work explodes violently, and the ideas and thoughts are relatively fresh.

From the time I started the book to now, I have experienced a burst of updates for two or three consecutive months, with more than 10,000 words a day, and occasionally 20,000 words. I never have any manuscripts or outlines on hand. I write and post every day, relying on this burst of creative enthusiasm, just like taking a drug.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. Too many things will affect my state.

For example, when this book was put on the shelves, I set a goal for myself to have 10,000 orders within three months.

In fact, the average price rose from 2,500 to 7,000 in the first month, which is a great hope.

But when I recommended it later, the conversion rate dropped. If I remember correctly, it should be the introductory recommendation. Originally, based on the collection ratio of the book and the last time I recommended [Best Sellers], the collection conversion rate was close to 2:1. With a high order ratio, one guide can theoretically get me over 10,000 orders.

But unfortunately, I don’t know which link went wrong. At that time, the price of the introductory price increased by more than 10,000. In the end, it was only about 1,500 when it was converted into a high order. It was even worse when it was converted into an average order.

Then my mentality collapsed a bit. I felt like I had been updating day and night for two or three months, and I didn’t know what the point was.

At this time, it was actually a bit slack, and the number of updates dropped from three chapters to two.

Later, I gave up all hope when I went to be recommended by DaDa, but Qingzhou DaDa came to me and said, ‘The results of the recommendation this time are quite good, keep up the good work’. Then it returned to some form.

But it’s still a pity. Maybe life is made up of many regrets. At this time, the word count of the book has already increased, and it has become difficult to increase the word count, so it has been stuck at 8000+ and I can’t order more.

Then came the thing that tortured me the most.

The next month was a nightmare.

Bad news: Renovations have begun upstairs in the house.

More bad news: More than one store is undergoing renovations.

The news is even worse than worse: there is a family with no porn qualities at all.

One of the decorations was carried out according to the legal decoration hours, from 8 am to 12 noon, from 2 pm to 6 pm, and no decoration is done on weekends (Come on, when you realize that the decoration master has more working hours than us in Palu) When you need discipline...)

The other one is a heavyweight, and I can’t really comment on it. I can only say that it’s like secretly customizing a coffin for his mother at home. They knock on it all the time every day, depending on whether to send his mother away first or me first. Send away.

He might start at five or six in the morning, and at night sometimes he still knocks after one in the morning, but the frequency of his knocks is not high. He will hit twice after a while, and then twice after a while. The sound is not loud, but it is that kind of sound. The "dang-dang-dang" that penetrates deep into your brain is like digging into your brain.

I felt like I was being trained like Pavlov’s dog by him, and my blood flowed out as soon as he knocked me. Ouch, painful tears flowed out.

I contacted the property management company and asked in the owner group, but I was never able to determine which household was knocking.

Because the conductivity of the floor is very strong, sometimes it may be the floor above you, and sometimes it may even be the floor above you. If someone closes the door and knocks secretly, there is nothing you can do.

This whole month I was tortured to the point of neurasthenia, and I would even wake up with fear every day, never knowing when the next tapping would start or when it would stop.

My book is actually an idea article. It is best for each game to be paired with a relatively new and exciting idea. The more exciting the better, so the writing is actually very difficult. It takes a lot of time to come up with ideas every day. .

After being tortured so repeatedly, I really couldn't move forward, stopped thinking about ideas, and continued to play around. This is why you think the quality declined seriously in the later period. Because there is no more exciting work, just make a game and release it, and then everyone will evaluate it, and then move on to the next one.

I felt very comfortable writing this way in the later period, and I didn’t even have to think about it, but it was indeed not exciting enough.

I still hope that the next book will be from the beginning to the end. After all, it will hurt everyone's feelings. I will try to correct this.

3. The heroine problem

This is also the point of the book that has been criticized the most until the end.

From the beginning, I have been criticized for writing emotional dramas that are a piece of shit. I don’t know what I am writing. If the writing is good, don’t write it again next time, etc.

I think I can really chime in on this.

I feel like I have something to say.

First of all, emotional drama is no longer a necessary element in today's male protagonist novels.

Because system literature is so popular today, the system itself has actually replaced the heroine’s position in previous novels.

For example, themes such as the King of Soldiers style, the Miracle Doctor style, and the master descending from the mountain were popular in the past.

The protagonist's gold finger belongs to gold finger, but he still needs to find a backer to help him.

So you will see a series of female characters including but not limited to ‘Iceberg Female President’, ‘Wealthy School Beauty’, ‘Sect Fairy’ and so on.

The purpose of the existence of these characters is to provide a strong background for the protagonist, and falling in love is just incidental.

But with the current system documentation, Brother Tongzi can already handle everything.

Therefore, the necessity of the female protagonist's existence is greatly reduced. Even if she exists, she must provide assistance to the male protagonist.

Readers who are still familiar with "BioShock Infinite" should know that the reason why Shabai is recognized by major media as one of the best assistants in the history of the game is precisely because she provides very powerful help to players. No more It was even very uncomfortable for her to play some levels.

If we give the protagonist Booker an infinite ammunition system and an infinite blood recovery system at this time, then he will die and run away, and the players may not have any psychological fluctuations.

Come back to this book and you will find out.

Three women who appear frequently.

In fact, everyone’s favorite is my sister.

Next is Qingbao, and finally Linbao.

It is also because, as the main artist, the younger sister is the most helpful to the protagonist. Qingbao has a strong background and provides a lot of help to the protagonist's company. In the end, Linbao has nothing but a silent love for the protagonist, but this love is worthless. , most readers don’t buy it.

Therefore, my biggest problem with this book is not that the emotional scenes are poorly written.

Rather, as a male protagonist who does not need the female protagonist to help him, writing an emotional scene is a mistake in itself.

Emotional dramas require a lot of details to foreshadow the slowly rising emotions between men and women, but for this kind of thing, every time I foreshadowed it, I was criticized for being superficial, because most readers come in not to watch the protagonist fall in love, but to watch him do it. Game.

Especially for a character who doesn't contribute much to the protagonist's career, if you spend space describing her, it will create a sense of separation from your main text.

This is why you frown every time you see an emotional scene.

I actually worked hard in the early stage, whether it was when I took Linbao out for a trip at the beginning, when she put away the protagonist's paintings, or later during the Turtle Soup period, when I had a battle of wits with Teacher Wen, people will realize that I want to seriously portray women. role.

But I had no choice but to scold them too much, so later on I thought it would be a thankless task, so I wrote this part purely to fill in the gaps, and I wouldn’t bother describing the small details of their love.

As an aside, I actually wanted to accept Yubao at the beginning because I wrote a lot about Yubao. She was actually quite likable in the early stages. I often see comments from readers who like Yubao very much. .

As for the identity of the younger sister, I can just find an excuse. She is not my biological child, I picked her up, you name it. Anyway, the character development is in place, and being cliche is not a problem at all.

But later I felt that everyone was still very resistant to the brother-sister relationship, so I had no choice but to give up, and I never wrote much about Yubao. I was very sorry about this. Maybe at that time, if I had resisted everyone's opinions, I would have just written what was in my heart. Now Yubao has several children.

I actually like the character Linbao very much, and I want to portray it well. I actually like this kind of girl who secretly has a crush on the protagonist, but is embarrassed to express it because of her personality.

Brothers, think about it, if a girl in your class, or a female colleague, also secretly has a crush on you, but because of her personality and shyness, she only dares to hide it in her heart and dare not say it, but this is actually the same. A beautiful thing, isn't it?

Finally, there is Qingbao. Actually, I also like Qingbao...

Of course, if a female character is created and the author doesn't like it, then he will definitely not write about her.

Qingbao's personality is that of a clingy person who likes to play straight. He just wants to like you and pester you.

There is nothing to say about this kind of character, just being cute is enough. In reality, if you really meet a girl like this, just talk to her and keep silent.

Finally, let’s talk about the ending.

In the end, Linbao didn't appear. It's not that I forgot. In fact, I wanted to give her an appearance shot, but there was really no extra space. If I gave her a shot, I had to explain why the hero made this choice, and also explain Linbao's follow-up. I have to write a long paragraph about my reaction.

Originally, I wanted to write about the wedding between the protagonist and Qingbao, with her attending and then being photographed, but I felt that this would be a bit too cruel, so I simply didn’t write it.

At this time, the benefits of being a lesbian sister come out. Let’s leave Linbao to my sister, so that we won’t talk about NTR or anything like that.

(Then, even a month ago, the idea was not to have a single female protagonist, but a harem story, all included, there was no stock trading or anything like that, and I just planned to open a Shura field before the harem, but it was canceled due to length reasons. )

If future new books deal with emotional scenes, they will either not write about them at all. If they do, they will carefully consider how the female characters can help the male protagonist before writing.

That’s all I have to say about the supplements in the book. I plan to consider writing purely original articles for the next book.

There are three major themes that have been finalized so far.

One is a space train story, not a science fiction theme. If I have to say it, the framework is similar to Beng Tie, but the story and setting are very different from Beng Tie. I am just giving you an example to give you an idea of ​​what type it is. The text. In fact, I wrote a train story as early as two years ago, but the idea was not mature at that time. I wrote tens of thousands of words and then cut it. I will consider writing it this time.

The other one is a rebirth story. The details cannot be spoiled for now, but it is different from traditional rebirth stories. Brothers, there is a new life!

The last thing to consider should be a novel about the world of Xianxia, ​​but it is not a traditional idea, and it also has fancy works.

Anyway, there are four ideas in total. I plan to take a two-month break to adjust myself and then choose the most interesting theme to start writing.

Okay, that’s probably all I have to say. If you have any other questions about this book, you can leave a message in this chapter. I will reply when I see it.

I am very grateful to the readers who have accompanied me all the way. Among them, there are many familiar IDs who have been silently supporting the book since its inception until now, and there are also some old friends who came all the way from the last book.

I am really grateful for your company and spending another half a year with me.

Then let’s see you in the next book!

Bye bye~
