Chapter 81: Thoughts on the Book Launch

Round and round, it's the day of the book launch again.

It's been over a month in the free period. Originally, the editor asked me to do a reverse V, which means adding some previous chapters to the VIP section.

However, Jiudeng refused.

Then, it was scheduled to launch on the 19th. Jiudeng will secretly update one chapter at midnight on the 19th and then give everyone one chapter for free.

At 7:00 PM on the 19th, the VIP chapters will be updated on time.

Let's chat with everyone about this book.

For this new book, Jiudeng just carefully looked at the chat records with the editor and the writing records in the background; there are a total of fourteen versions.

It's not that all fourteen versions were based on the same foundation, but that fourteen openings were written.

There were a few openings that Jiudeng thought were good, but the editor thought they wouldn't work after reading them. There were a few openings the editor thought were good, but Jiudeng decided to give them up after thinking about it.

Repeating this over and over, until ten days before the book was published, the new book manuscript was finally determined. I wrote 100,000 words of saved manuscripts and started uploading the new book.

And the reason for all this has something to do with the previous book.

Because of certain reasons, the subject matter Jiudeng is good at cannot be written. After several new books flopped in a row, to be honest, Jiudeng's mentality changed a bit.

In order to achieve good results, Jiudeng went to study some popular books, learned their styles, and went to understand the content readers like now and the memes they like to play with.

Integrating them bit by bit.

Thus, there was the previous book.

Indeed, the previous book had very good results in the early stages!

The first chapter subscription is over 70,000 now, but unfortunately, the average subscription collapsed.

Why did it collapse?

Jiudeng discussed it with the editor later; it was precisely because of the mentality, being too anxious.

The competition for new books on Qidian is very cruel; you have to go through rounds of player killing. I believe that the readers have read so many books and have heard other authors mention it in their books.

If you don't pass a round of PK, life and death are decided.

For the sake of fast pacing, Jiudeng sacrificed many plots and accelerated the pace too much, eventually leading to the constant changes in the subsequent outline and constant acceleration……

……

Forget it, the past is unbearable to look back on; anyway, I bow to everyone to apologize!

……

This new book, until the final version was decided, was still not the best version in my and the editor's hearts.

I couldn't write the best version.

That version had a faster pace, more hatred, and more satisfying points.

In the editor's words, the commercial value is higher.

But I tried to continue writing 10,000 words under the new version. To be honest, it took me two days.

It was only then that I understood a truth: choosing the currently popular version is indeed opportunistic, but an author is not a machine.

Every author has his own personality, and personality affects his writing style.

This point is extremely difficult to change.

In the end, I chose this version.

The only thing I replied to the editor was: I write this version smoothly!

I write smoothly because I can enter the role, I can integrate into the protagonist, and it is no longer a cold protagonist symbol when writing.

I don't need to rack my brains to conceive memes and reversals one by one. When the protagonist faces a situation, I will think about how I would do it, rather than how a commercial protagonist should do it?

Although it cannot satisfy all readers, at least I am satisfied.

I am satisfied, my thoughts are clear, and my writing is like a god!

The editor was persuaded by me, but just reminded me: it's too slow-burning, I'm afraid the results in the new book period won't be that good, you have to be mentally prepared.

Me: An outdated great god is not as good as a level 1 author, what kind of mental preparation is needed? The great god has instead become a shackle.

Like Kong Yiji, the long gown that cannot be taken off.

But Jiudeng took it off. It can be seen from the title of the book from the previous book to this book; no great god will use a long book title, because this means giving up one's own status.

When I treat myself as a newcomer, it is even more relaxed.

I chatted privately with a book friend who has accompanied me for ten years about the new book. He said: write what you want to write, write what you write smoothly.

He said, write more, update more!

Then I don't know where he copied a paragraph and gave it to me:

When you update once, subtle flaws will be magnified, and the greenness of the writing will be criticized.

When you update twice, a little patience is born, and the progress of the plot is paid more attention to.

When you update three times, tiny praises begin to sound, and the number of unsubscribes begins to decrease.

When you update five times, the maintenance of readers forms spontaneously, and the sound of praise becomes louder and louder.

When you update ten times, the debate of the great Confucian is deafening, and the tolerant attitude is implemented inside and outside.

……

That is so damn right!

Thus, this book was completely finalized.

Thanks to everyone's tolerance and love, we have safely passed four rounds of PK in the new book period. We can't compare to popular books, but Jiudeng is already very satisfied.

As we are about to launch, I will tell you the truth: there are only ten chapters of saved manuscripts, not many!

I deleted a lot of saved manuscript content!

Because the New Year is coming, with a family and children, Jiudeng has to keep a few chapters to prevent accidents, so these saved manuscripts cannot be moved for the time being. And with more saved manuscripts, I can think more about the plot and change it at any time, so starting from this single chapter, until 7:00 tomorrow, Jiudeng will update as many chapters as I can write.

Five bottles of Red Bull are ready. With Jiudeng's hand speed, three to four chapters are no problem.

Finally, it's still that sentence: I ask for a first subscription and a monthly ticket.

I hope everyone can support the new book for three months, because the traffic recommendation for the new book for three months is only linked to subscriptions.

I bow to everyone!

I wish everyone a prosperous Year of the Snake in advance; may you be the banker before the New Year and sweep away all directions; may you be the banker after the New Year and gather wealth from all directions.
