Broken

My throat hurt so badly that my head felt dizzy. I really wanted to take a leave, but I still endured the discomfort and wrote a chapter.

It seems that the flu is back recently and many people have sore throats.

I looked at the update calendar and found that after the Chinese New Year, I updated for more than 50 days in a row without taking a single day off.

Well, hold on, and try to expand this number to 100 days, or even 500 days.

10 is an interesting number. Why?
Because from the day it was put on the shelves to today, the first order has increased tenfold.

After two and a half months on the shelves, without any recommendation, the first order increased to 300 and the high order increased to 3000, and the average order is close to 1500.

congratulations!

But the only drawback is that the tracking is too poor. The 24-hour tracking is only about 200, which is worse than the tracking when it was first launched.

Maybe because I update 4000 words a day, many people have become accustomed to reading this book.

You have to be more diligent, Lao Qing. With so many readers supporting you, you should at least write for 24 hours a day, if not 12 hours!

Only in this way can we live up to the readers who voted, subscribed and rewarded us.

Before I knew it, it has been on the shelves for two and a half months. Thinking back on the countless friends (including editors) who advised me to cut it off during these two months, I can't help but sigh.

From having countless people mocking it when the first orders were 300 and the editor was not optimistic about it, to now being the first recommendation, it is really not easy.

I guess there are not many authors on Qidian who can achieve a result of 300 first orders, especially when my previous book had close to orders.

The book already has 40 words. The previous book with 40 words is already invincible in the world, and there is no way that enemies can appear in the sky.

The plot of this book has not yet unfolded.

Lao Qing writes very slowly, not because he intends to drag out the plot, but because he strives to create a realistic world. At the very least, it cannot be too empty and fake.

Anyone who has written an online article knows that a sense of immersion is very important.

It's easy to get into the genres of urban, League of Legends, and sports, which are naturally immersive. But for the fictional genre of fantasy, how to get people to get into it is a real test of the author's ability.

Lao Qing’s ability is still too poor, and he did a poor job in terms of sense of immersion.

Apart from the sense of immersion, the vivid and three-dimensional characters, the anticipated plot, and the excitement are also unsatisfactory.

Online literature is nothing more than a sense of immersion, character settings, rhythm, excitement and anticipation.

But when I actually started writing, I found that it was really difficult. Lao Qing was not talented enough, and thinking about these things felt like seeing flowers in the fog.

Especially this book "Hundreds of Schools Chasing the Tao", a group portrait of the fourth natural disaster, when I actually started writing it, I found it was too difficult to control.

The protagonist, the players, the natives, the contending schools of thought, the clash of ideas and beliefs, war, farming, construction... Lao Qing wanted to cover everything, but found that he could not.

The setting is too complicated, it contains too much content, it is huge, and it is thrown out all at once, so it is really difficult to write.

Coupled with the weak knowledge reserves of the elderly and young people, they really regret not having read enough books when they need them.

If you readers want to write online articles, Lao Qing suggests that the setting should be as simple and crude as possible. A setting that is too complex is really difficult to control.

I have been thinking, if I weaken the player settings, fix the focus on the protagonist, focus on the rhythm, the sense of anticipation, and the elements of a hundred schools of thought, will it be better?

For example, something like "Super Mechanic".

Maybe I'll try it in the future.

Writing a book is so difficult. I have a headache every day trying to figure out how to write it. The key is that I still don’t get the point. I really envy the talented people. Why am I so stupid?

Hey, why can't I just make a tick in my mind, bind the system, or create an experience bar so that I can see my writing experience points increase...

I don’t know what I’m mumbling about. I’m going to sleep. Good night everyone.

After waking up, I need to update more, read more books, and think more about writing methods, so that I can write more excitingly.
