Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

1. Performance report

This book was put on the shelves on August 19. The first order was 4,200, and the average order the next day was 3,200. It took about less than 40 days, and the average order exceeded 10,000, which is gratifying.

Not much else to say, I am already satisfied with this result. Originally I thought it would be as good as the first two books, or even slightly worse, which is acceptable.

After all, there are two female protagonists and a career line. It is indeed not something I was good at before.

To be able to write this result, I am very grateful for everyone's support.

2. Content evaluation

To be honest, what I am best at is probably the early layout and design of a book, and the same is true for the first two books.

This book is no exception.

Especially the entire period after the college entrance examination and before the start of school can be regarded as a practice of my own theoretical framework.

That is to say, [the development of daily relationships] is the main core and radiates throughout the plot line as a refreshing point, and then the [development of the career line] is used as the lead to string these scattered daily routines into a complete plot.

From the beginning when Xu Xing borrowed Sun Wanhui's online store to accumulate a second pot of gold, to tricking Yan Chiju and Xu Niannian into taking modeling photos, and trying every means to get them to join the game studio, and then to the relationship between several people in the process of making the game.

, and finally led to the successful outcome of the game being released after school started.

This section is a classic continuation and transition. Readers who continue to read may complain that the pace is too slow, but for those who read it in one go, I dare say that the reading experience will be very good.

But after entering college, because the detailed outline was not as complete as before, and there were thousands of updates every day, the preparation was relatively hasty.

Even if there is a brief repair in the middle, it is actually difficult to achieve a particularly perfect level in two days.

This leads to the fact that from the climax of the Fruit Assassin episode to the showdown with Xu Niannian, Xu Niannian's information gap was completely relied upon to sustain the sense of anticipation.

Once the information gap here is filled, and there is no good connection with the new business line, it will easily fall into a weak state.

Although the plot of Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan's confession was also arranged in the follow-up, and a new information gap between the three was set up according to the outline process, this part still belongs to the sense of expectation of the emotional line and has nothing to do with the career line.

And when I wrote this, I slowly discovered the problem.

First, the outline before the book started was too perfect. I wanted the protagonist to get involved in the Internet ecosystem and create a closed loop within a corporate group like Alibaba and Tencent.

Theoretically speaking, relying on the ultra-high turnover of mobile games, it can indeed be sustained in the period from 12 to 15 years.

When 4G begins to expand in 2015 or 16, the development of mobile games will get better and better. By then, other businesses within the group will slowly pick up and begin to compete with large groups.

But the imagination is wonderful, but the real problem is that once there are too many industries involved, the protagonist's capital chain must be very sufficient, resulting in an insufficient overall sense of crisis.

In the early stage, the protagonist only had tens of thousands of dollars, and could barely make a fruit assassin. This way of spending all the money you get, then investing all the money you make, keeps the protagonist in a state of shortage of funds, so that the plot can always be maintained.

of tension.

The one that impressed me most about this is probably "Rebirth of Money" written by Eagle. Although it is a novice business article that does not stand up to scrutiny, the protagonist's control over each cash flow perfectly maintains his career.

Online plot tension.

At this point, I am still too kind-hearted, or I can easily feel insecure about money, so that every time it comes to this aspect, I don’t dare to deduct too much from the protagonist. As a result, my career is now on the line.

problem.

Another point is that once you get involved in various fields, the length of the plot will inevitably be divided. If you want to distribute the plots in several fields well, with priority and order, and clear levels, this requirement is too high.

This is the first time I seriously wrote down my career line. This time I stepped into a huge pit, and I must learn from it in the future.

However, this book has come to an end, so I can only bite the bullet and continue writing according to my current career line.

For this reason, I have reduced the content on the business branch.

Including but not limited to food delivery, news push, beep station, live broadcast, taxi hailing, group buying, etc. In the future, we will focus on WeChat and games.

to be honest.

If I could do it over again, I probably wouldn't let Fruit Assassin succeed so quickly. I should suppress it to a certain extent and then let the protagonist play the game in peace.

In this way, while ensuring that the plot of the career line is sufficient, situations similar to the above will not occur, and the development of the emotional line can also be taken into consideration.

But the matter has come to this, and we can only continue to advance according to the existing plot.

Three, follow-up updates

There should be no updates today.

Updates will be postponed starting in October as I have to wait and see how the plot will develop.

I still update a chapter every day at 11 o'clock in the morning, with a word count of more than 4,000 words. I will try to write as much as possible.

In the afternoon, I used it to deduce the subsequent plot and design, and try to adjust the bow of the ship back.

As of now, the average subscription is 10,300+. Calculated based on the initial average subscription of 3,200, 71 additional chapters are owed. Currently, the average subscription has just reached 4,900, which means there are still 54 chapters owed.

In addition, as of now, the total number of monthly tickets this month is 9,500+. I don’t know if it will exceed 10,000 before the early morning.

The previous monthly ticket addition has been increased to 4,000 votes, and 11 chapters are still owed.

If the monthly ticket can exceed 10,000 at night, then I owe Chapter 12.

Adding up the top and bottom, there are a total of 65 chapters owed.

In fact, I wouldn't have owed so much originally, but since the beginning of the month, I've basically been counting the extra chapters of 4,000 to 5,000 words only as one chapter, instead of calculating the extra chapters of 2,000 words.

Otherwise, based on my update volume this month, I have actually added about 240,000 words, which is about 120 chapters.

But the actual situation is that I have only updated 36 chapters this month, all of which are large chapters ranging from 4,000 to 6,000.

Otherwise, I probably have already paid off all the debt I owe (dog head)

In short, there should be occasional updates in October, but the normal update is a chapter at 11 o'clock.

In the future, except for the event where 3 chapters will be added for those who get 5,000 votes during the double monthly ticket period on the website, there will not be any more updates.

Too tiring.

During this period of time, I almost gave up playing games. I would get up at seven o'clock on time every day just like clocking in at work, and finish typing at around 10:30.

Do an eight-step Vajra Exercise to exercise the cervical spine, waist and abdomen, have lunch around 11 o'clock, take a nap after eating, and get up around 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Then I type until half past five and have dinner.

At about six o'clock in the evening, I went downstairs for a walk, came back to make a follow-up outline and detailed outline, and read novels and videos to take a rest.

As for why you don’t play games?

Because I'm really tired... I don't have much energy to move after turning on Genshin Impact. After every day, I just want to lie in bed and do nothing.

My mind was completely blank, and when I was writing the outline, I was forcing myself to write.

If you want to say that the plot of this book is simple and the main plot is unintelligent, forget it.

In the end, the love line and the career line were still parallel, and the career line also chose the most difficult multi-threaded mode, which was simply seeking death.

If I write about career lines in my future books, I will be an idiot if I try to do such complicated stuff!

The single-threaded advancement model of the career line is the simplest. I was wrong at first and shouldn't be so reckless.

All in all, please bear with me in the future. Daily updates will restore 4,000+. I will try to pay back a little every month if I owe more, and try to pay it off before finishing this book...

The target for this book is two million words, but I probably won’t be able to control it if it’s too much.

However, after adding a serious career line, I still learned a lot. I feel that the path for online writing will be wider in the future, and it will not be simply limited to dog food writing.

I plan to try the elements of a single female protagonist + urban superpowers in my next book, and practice my writing skills in terms of upgrade lines.

But it’s still early to talk about this now, so I won’t talk more about it.

That’s all for today.
