Chapter 481: Reporting results and a 2.5 million-word summary

Reporting results and a 2.5 million-word summary

As of this moment, the average subscription of "Junzi" is...

Yes, we have reached 40,000 average subscriptions.

As everyone knows, the more words, the harder it is to increase the average subscription. Compared with new books with fewer words, it is a huge disadvantage.

Our growth rate is not inferior to the big shots!

Please listen to me.

February 1, 2023, "Junzi" went on the shelves, with an initial subscription of 7800, ranking in the top three of the period.

It broke 10,000 subscriptions within three days and 20,000 subscriptions within three months.

The highest peak was in July 23, when the average subscription of "Junzi" was nearly...

Afterward, losing the exposure of the new book period, the monthly ticket list exposure was almost zero, and the average subscription of "Junzi" slowly declined all the way.

As of the month before last, May 7th of this year, before issuing the single chapter to ask for votes and deciding to fight for the list, the average subscription of "Junzi" had fallen to... and was about to fall below the threshold of 20,000 average subscriptions!

Friends often laugh and say, "This is not the monthly ticket ranking that a book with 20,000 average subscriptions should have; it almost relies on intelligent recommendation to survive."

If the story stopped here, Yang Xiao Rong would actually be very familiar with it.

This situation is familiar.

Because I had a "Sword Immortal Wife" for my first book, and it was the same!

Because Yang Xiao Rong has long been accustomed to the low valley period of burying his head in writing for a long time and the natural decline of results.

The reason for the new book "Zha Geng" (slacking off), August 20, 2020, "Sword Wife" initial subscription 280, after going on the shelves, the results skyrocketed. As of November of that year, it rose to a maximum of 8000 average subscriptions. This was the 8000 average subscriptions before the anti-theft era of Qidian, and it was the 8000 average subscriptions that missed the new book period.

Afterward, it was also the familiar data declining all the way. As of the completion in September 22, the average subscription of "Sword Wife" was over 6000.

Nearly two years of decline.

Yang Xiao Rong has long been accustomed to the taste of the low valley where the results decline all the way and only a small number of true-love book friends accompany him, and even learned to find joy in suffering, telling himself to bury his head in writing the story he likes.

However, when experiencing the low-valley long-distance run for more than two years, watching "Sword Wife" die chronically due to results, state, reality, and other factors.

When I saw again with my own eyes that "Junzi" had fallen from... average subscriptions to... average subscriptions, the two and a half years of "Sword Wife" appeared before my eyes again.

A breath in my heart rose inexplicably.

In the four years of writing, the most uncomfortable time for me was never being scolded by malicious reviews, but one by one, old book friends of "Sword Wife" found me through various channels and privately messaged me, saying they liked "Sword Wife" very much and regretted its sudden end.

I couldn't help but think, if I hadn't ended "Sword Wife," if I had continued to persist with "Sword Wife" and tried hard again, would the ending of "Sword Wife" be completely different?

I know that people will subconsciously beautify the path they haven't walked, but this is better than laughing at their own retreat and cowardice ten years later.

I suddenly understood what this breath in my chest was.

May 7th, the month before last, my brothers and I, with "Junzi," stood at this crossroads again.

This time, we rushed.

As of today, July 31, 2024, the average subscription of "Junzi" is...

From... on May 7th to... on July 31st.

Two months and more.

Our old book with nearly 2.5 million words has more than doubled its average subscription!

We broke through the Glory Three Stars, and we achieved the Hundred Alliance and the Out-of-Circle Four Achievements.

We broke through 30,000 average subscriptions without looking back, crashed into 40,000 average subscriptions, and are rushing toward the 50,000 average subscriptions ahead.

Especially in this July, we have long been firmly in the top three of the Qidian bestseller list, and even won the first place in the bestseller list several times. In the industry, the bestseller list is the list with the most gold content.

Facts have proved that we did not beautify the path we haven't walked.

Facts have proved that as long as "Junzi" is given enough exposure, "Junzi" can stand up and take a look at the height that many people dare not think of.

Facts have proved that what implicated the results of "Junzi" was always the author's personal slacking off and cowardice, not the reader's inability to recognize the pearl that poor scholars love to push and complain about.

Facts have proved that "Junzi" should never be in that position before. It should belong to a better position, and it must never stop.

Facts have proved that "Junzi" actually has a group of the best readers! In the future, we will continue to welcome a new batch of the best readers.

Let's summarize July. In July, 168,000 words were updated, with an average of 5420 words per day, 0 days of leave, as shown in the figure below.

168,000 words is nothing compared to those big shots who explode with even more, but for little Rong, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder and a typing speed of 500 words per hour, it is the result of shutting myself in a small dark room every day, sitting in front of the computer, burying my head in frantic typing, and giving it my all.

Old readers who follow the updates should know that in the past, Yang Xiao Rong could only write 120,000 words every month, with an average of 4,000 words per day. July had 48,000 more words than before.

Moreover, from May to now, I haven't asked for leave for three consecutive months! In the coming August, I will not ask for a day off!

Let's talk about the problem of slow coding.

Many times, for a small plot in front of me, Yang Xiao Rong has to think about the plot behind in advance, clarify the event logic and development context.

This leads to the turtle speed of coding for the current small plot.

Yang Xiao Rong hopes to treat everyone like a good friend, take out the best things he can write, and serve them to greet everyone.

This "good thing" may not suit everyone's taste, and some may even find it unpalatable.

But there are always a few who can chew out the taste and like it quite a bit.

That's enough.

Yang Xiao Rong tries his best to serve it to more people so that those who like it can find it.

But it's not about taking the route of self-appreciation and self-importance. It's really not. I sincerely feel that Qidian's reader group is very powerful, and there are many awesome readers among them.

For example, many readers can clearly feel when following the updates that you, the author, are fooling around or working seriously, and can keenly perceive which day's update quality is not right, obviously not using your heart, or in a low state.

And for the things you want to write, many readers can see it at a glance, and even give you inferences.

So sometimes, Yang Xiao Rong is scolded for being short and watery, and he really doesn't dare to talk back...

But he is also very helpless. His coding ability cannot meet the needs of most readers. If he improves slowly, everyone may not have the patience.

So he can only bury his head in writing, keep writing, and not mess up his own formation.

Because I have always felt that as long as an author still has a breath of heart, does not vent it, and as long as he thinks the story is fine, it will not collapse.

Only when he himself is discouraged and self-doubting is that the beginning of a book's collapse.

So one must not let one's heart be disturbed by ten thousand thoughts, and one's ambition must not be taken away by firmness.

"Junzi," as of today, has 2.5 million words, exceeding the word count when "Sword Wife" stopped. The results are about five times that of "Sword Wife," and its initial positioning was just for practice. Writing to this point, I am truly moved.

"Junzi" actually has many stories that I want to tell everyone slowly.

The space is limited today, so I will nag with everyone here first.

Finally.

Come to the monthly ticket and update session that everyone loves to see.

Last month, 7 chapters were returned. As of now, 14 chapters are still owed.

One update is based on 3000 words. If a two-in-one chapter of 7000 words is issued, one chapter that is not full of 7000 words does not count as an update. Last month was this algorithm.

The 14 chapters owed will continue to be returned this month, and they will be returned first.

I will not ask for leave this month either, and I will maintain updates every day! Challenge the update of more than 168,000 words last month.

Next, we are going to impact 50,000 average subscriptions!

Take a look at the scenery that I used to think only big shots could see.

By the way, the Alliance Leader cashback activity is still going on this month. If you are interested, you can flip through the previous single chapters or enter the book friend group for consultation.

Finally, ask for monthly tickets! Ask for monthly tickets! Ask for monthly tickets!

Don't leave it until the end of the month. There is no double at the end of the month. "Junzi" needs monthly tickets very much now!

Every monthly ticket of yours is the greatest help to our "Junzi." Yang Xiao Rong sincerely thanks you here.

Yang Xiao Rong knows that the updates cannot compare with those big shots who update 10,000 words a day, and they are short and watery, and they ask for tickets every day. It's too thick-skinned.

But for the results of "Junzi," for more people to see our book, Yang Xiao Rong must do his best to ask for tickets and not want any face.

As long as "Junzi" can be better and more people can see it, Yang Xiao Rong will do anything... What, then go to the room for 24 hours and explode updates?

Woo woo woo good! Going to the dark room to code!

Kneeling for fresh monthly tickets!
