You're forcing me to be reborn, right?

This is how 2023 ends. Thank you all for your company this year.

Let me report the results first.

As of now, our average bookings are over 57,000." The increase in December was 12,000, which is not as exaggerated as the 20,000 increase last month. After all, the base number has increased and it is quite strong.

In two months, the average subscription has increased by 32,000, which is awesome.

Thank you to every reader who supports the genuine version, thank you.

Our total readership is actually still small, and our collection has just exceeded 500,000. Overall, the traffic we receive is not very high. The main traffic we receive is only the monthly ticket list traffic in the past two months.

For a book with more than one million words, the ratio of collections to average subscriptions is still 9:1, which is considered a pretty impressive conversion rate.

Don't rush, take your time, I will continue to write seriously, and I will definitely get better results. After reporting, I will talk about my writing journey this year. I was under a lot of pressure to write in December, and I was a bit nervous. This month's update time is very hellish. , it is common to write until one or two o'clock in the evening.

There were two places that made me feel a little uncomfortable, and I even began to wonder if I had chosen the wrong path.

The first one is the plot of Lin Lu’s confession.

After I finished writing, a lot of people scolded me for making headlines, and I saw a lot of abuse backstage. Many people said it was not a confession, thinking, "I like you."

I didn't go to bed until half past four that day.

I began to think, "I like your four-word confession. I wanted to avoid it from the beginning because I thought it was too simple. Anyone can write it. What's so strange about these few words? Not everyone can do it." What is written?

I have been keeping a certain level of writing difficulty for myself. Sometimes it may be a simple sentence, and I will think about it for several hours to determine the impact of this sentence.

I sometimes think about the last sentence at the end of many chapters before I write it.

There is no doubt that this book is a harem novel.

There are many female characters, and I am afraid of repeating many emotional aspects, so I am destined not to write "I like you". There are so many women writing like this. Do you like to read it?

The confession requirements I have set are different. For Lin Lu’s confession, I will write it in a quirky direction, because it is part of her character.

For example, Chen Jieyu's confession seems not to be written, but it is actually written in Chapter 235. Chen Jieyu has low self-esteem and pride and tells Cheng Zhu, "It's not that I don't want to pay you back, but this topic is too sensitive. In the end, Cheng Zhu's The solution is to joke and say: "So, is it difficult to say you like me?"

Chen Jieyu did not answer, but in the end she took the initiative to answer with her own actions in the B\u0026B.

She broke free from the constraints of her identity. This was Chen Jieyu's silent confession, and it was also in line with her character.

Many times, I always feel that once the characters are set, then in many cases, the plot is not even the author's final say.

Because they are alive, before you start writing, you have to arrange some plots based on these characters, instead of just being able to enjoy yourself at will.

This is just like someone in the group asked me before, why was it Ning Bao who stole the house, she and Cheng Zhu blew the evening breeze first, and she and Cheng Zhu kissed first?

Because her character is a tsundere, she must be the first, which is only reasonable] If she had not been first, then nothing would have happened, there would have been no night breeze, and there would have been no kissing.

Overall, writing a story with multiple female protagonists is actually really tiring and complicated if you want to write it well.

This book consumes more energy than my previous books combined] I hope that when you ask for a plot, you can give me some higher requirements instead of lower ones, such as calling me Write these four simple words “I like you.

Another example is the last chapter at the end of the year. The title is "Stay with me for the rest of your life."

There are also many people who say that the story is a headline-grabber, which makes me think deeply because I feel that the plot arrangement of letting the Shen family participate in pomelo tea is already obvious, and the method is almost a simile.

The Shen family was unable to get off the chariot, and Shen Qingning was naturally among them. I wanted to write it more realistically, but this is what I think: we will be together for the rest of our lives. This is an obvious plot trend, and I didn’t expect it. It actually needs a few words of explanation. Being together for a lifetime like .co actually serves people.

To be honest, if I were given the chance to do it again, I might hesitate to write a harem novel.

Especially this type of harem novel.

This kind of book, which readers jokingly call memoirs and textbooks, is indeed tiring to write, but also has many constraints.

Of course, I believe I can write better in 2024, because there are still many good plots to come, and the character arcs of many characters have not yet appeared.

Then, it seems that monthly tickets will be doubled on New Year’s Day, so I hope everyone can continue to support me!

Our exposure is really only the monthly vote list, there is really nothing else.
