Chapter 53: New Year's Letter to My Readers

A New Year's Letter to My Readers

Today, after spending the whole day out handling errands, I got home already stunned by the northeast's specialty, the northwestern wind.

I feel that even if I push now, at most I'll get a 4k‑word piece, so I might as well give up the struggle.

A tiny 4k‑word chapter isn't worth posting; better to give everyone a little red envelope now, join an event for fun or something.

Hey, don't trash me, "Why does this author babble every day?".

Well, I don't want that either.

The timing is just too tight.

December recap, mid‑January launch, launch reflections, launch report, and then the New Year arrives.

Coincidentally, the platform launched an event, and since there's a red envelope, we should join, right?

Don't you think we shouldn't quarrel over free‑bie money?

The official request, ha, is that the submission includes:

1. A retrospective of the 2022 creation story

2. The most memorable update‑prompt content

3. Funny moments interacting with readers

4. New Year blessings for the readers

5. Etc., any New Year‑themed content.

So let's go through them one by one; the little money is in the Easter‑egg chapter later.

1. A retrospective of the 2022 creation story

Although 2022 was idle, I was still diligent… I wrote a lot of books.

Proud jpg, =v=.

Ah, just as expected of me.

But at least I finished two complete works.

One is the endlessly reprinted, realistic‑life‑boring depiction "My Girlfriend Is More Than Just Pretty",

and another, which I intended to work hard on but ended up slacking, "Elf: My Green Caterpillar Has a Dream",

Stuck at year‑end, after many twists and hardships, finally this book emerged.

Congrats, at least 2022 didn't end with a eunuch‑style conclusion.

Overall, 2022 was a year of endless attempts.

I tried many things I liked and wanted to write, but they all ended bleakly due to lack of ability and diligence.

Gagagaga!

So I reflected on my pain, took it as a lesson, and vowed silently that starting with this book I will write four consecutive sweet romance novels to cleanse the soul.

Let's talk about the "creation story".

Just this book?

Actually, the very first idea for this book came from seeing a fan‑art picture.

Ah, although the artist labeled it as an original Alice illustration, I actually think the doujinshi's Alice and her image are exactly the same.

Following the artist's work, I dug up many more pictures of the same character, all yandere‑style.

Gagagaga!

Ah, yandere is just too cute.

Then I used the fan‑art as a framework, started defining character types, and later saw my cover art produced by a unified artist.

Hmm…

After some thought, I silently changed the golden‑haired heroine to black‑haired, and silently changed the name from Alice to Bai Yan.

Thus this book came into being.

Overall, the creative inspiration actually came from… a doujinshi?

Σ(⊙▽⊙「

After that came the detail filling, such as Stone Cliff Goddess cat‑sucking, the usual emo plot, and yandere buildup.

When I was about to start, I happened to see a popular other‑world reincarnation image on a forum.

Oh, I knew my chance had arrived.

So I wrote this opening early, probably around March 2022.

Haha, didn't expect it, but it's actually an old opening.

After fixing a few typos, I just phase‑charged straight ahead, hum.

Overall, it can be said it was a hobby‑driven yet accidental path, writing because the carefully crafted characters got me hooked—a subtle creative road? Qian Qian Mo Huo

By the way, the doujinshi is really good, truly.

2. The most memorable update‑prompt content

A deep‑impact prompt?

ummmmm

Cross‑dressing?

But this year, there haven't been many cross‑dressing prompts for me.

After all, when I don't update I'm definitely sick, and no one nags me.

When I do update, I usually post tens of thousands per day, and still no one nags me.

(ΩДΩ)

Oh!

I remembered.

Northeast bro's money‑prompted update method.

Publish a chapter and give me a guild leader.

Grass.

It really is exhilarating, seriously.

I'm not hinting at anything, really, I hope there are more fans like this.

If you want me to update more, I'll update as much as you want.

Gagagaga.

3. Fun moments interacting with fellow readers.

If you say that, I, the top of the chat group, won't be sleepy.

I'll pull out the stories I've kept at the bottom of the chest and tell them.

Hey, wait, haven't the hidden stories already become the group's highlights?

Σ(⊙▽⊙「

Then, where are the meaning and value of my summary?

But what's proud is that almost half of the nicknames in the group were given by me, ahahaha.

I really am a naming genius.

Without saying anything else, just here to share with you.

Bitter Tea Child (original name Purple Underpants), Duck Duck No. 0 (original name Crow006), Mature Lady Soft‑Rice King (original name Being Ridden)…

Done, all of them suddenly got a bit inflated.

Speaking of which, when I was identifying golden pictures with fellow readers, my picture seemed to be number one as well.

I'm totally winning.

Overall, through interactions with fellow readers, I've established my unshakable emperor seat in the group as author and group owner.

Great author. =v=

4. New Year blessings for readers

I won't flood the screen with four‑character phrases here.

I know, you only need this:

Bang bang bang!!

I'll smash a table for you, high and low.

Everyone, in the new year, may all go well; may your review exams be all passed, guesses all correct, and have good results.

After graduation, may you achieve the freedom to keep cats and slack off.

This year also read more of Teemo's books owo

As for the fifth item, let's skip it.

Writing 5 posts 4, should be normal.

Yo, that's it, see you tomorrow!

Bye bye!
