Let’s talk about something off topic. Old readers who are familiar with me know that this year has not been easy, and all kinds of things have happened in the meantime.
I won’t say anything to gain sympathy, after all, I have finally made it through, and looking back, I have already sailed through thousands of mountains.
The initial opportunity to write novels was because a girl told me that I was good at writing stories, so I decided to write novels.
I entered this industry with the idea of giving it a try.
When I wrote my first book, I had no idea how to write a novel, so naturally the performance of the book was a mess. It didn’t even have a chance to be recommended or put on the shelves.
I felt very unwilling at that time. Is it really true that I don’t have talent in this area?
With depressed thoughts in mind, I read a comic book I borrowed from someone else, "Goodbye Eri" by Mr. Fujimoto Itsuki.
It's a good comic.
I was deeply touched by this comic, especially after seeing its various turning points and the "fantasy color" mentioned at the end, I finally understood what was lacking in my novel.
So, under the trend of this idea, I borrowed the "fantasy color" of different works, and finally wrote my first book, "The Object of Revenge".
Book friends who have an impression should have heard me say that there is an easter egg in "The Object of Revenge" where Haruno Sawayama appears. It is true.
This is the first Easter egg to be linked together after a year.
In short, the book "Revenge Object" finally started my writing career, and the book "Tokyo Secret" that followed it further strengthened my idea of continuing to write novels, even though I didn't make much money.
The difficult process cannot be omitted, but at least I was happy when I was writing, although there were times when I got stuck and when I saw negative reviews criticizing me, which made me feel very depressed, but it’s okay, and I gradually got used to it.
In the past year of writing the book, I have been doing a lot of trial and error. The accumulated number of words in the waste manuscripts is nearly two million, which is almost more than what I have published. Alas, I feel very complicated when I talk about it now.
In this process, the first and foremost people I should thank are of course the book lovers for their support. I want to say this, but there are really not many old fans!
The reality is, not many people have followed this book all the way from the first one, and not many people have followed this book all the way from the second one. Now when I talk about it, I can’t help but shed tears!
Well, let’s not talk about this for now. The second person I need to thank is the editor Penglai.
Penglai is a really nice person. I don’t know how he treats other people, but he is definitely very nice to me.
Every time I submit an article, I receive thoughtful guidance and are told what are the hottest topics of the day, suggesting which ones to imitate, which ones are likely to yield results, and which ones are unlikely to yield results.
There was even one time when he directly gave me the outline, introduction, character settings, and plot entry points and asked me to write them all.
He almost wrote it for me.
Although I didn't write it in the end because I found that it didn't fit my writing style. But I still remember this kindness. I also know from the small group that this is not a treatment that everyone has, which makes me feel ashamed for rejecting the other party's outline. But fortunately, this book has also been published, so I don't think it's a waste of his cultivation.
To be honest, when I first started writing, I thought it would be enough if I got 500 orders.
Even if I can't make money, as long as I'm not doing it for love, it's fine.
At that time, I never expected that I would reach this point today. I have completed all the recommendations except Xiaolaba. It would be a lie to say that I am not happy. After all, it is my first time, and Sanjiang Xinqiang is indeed not that easy to get into.
Fortunately, we won in the end. Until now, I still feel a strong sense of unreality, as if I were in another world.
I am a very indifferent person. I always feel that everything around me doesn't matter to me. But it's a little different when it comes to novels. I always feel anxious because of novels. I feel both uncomfortable and happy. I probably won't be able to change this in the future.
As soon as I start writing, I feel an inexplicable fear. I think this is the same for every author, right?
I’m afraid that I won’t be able to write anymore and that I’ll be forgotten.
I don’t know whether I can write it down or not. If I forget it, I really don’t want others to forget it.
Obviously, he is a man who doesn't care about anything, but he would be troubled by this kind of thing. Unconsciously, the novel has changed him a little. Obviously, he started writing it just because of a joke made by others, but unknowingly, he was immersed in it.
Now he is here saying cool words to himself, hehe.
Oh, but it's okay anyway.
As I write this speech, I look back at the stories I have written and the heroines I have written.
I don't remember what kind of mood I was in when I wrote it, but what still reminds me is the readers' love for them, which will probably be the reason for me to continue writing.
Although this sounds a bit strange, how can I not remember it? How can I continue writing because of such a thing? As for the male protagonist, you should at least take some responsibility for him, asshole.
I don’t know, but I will keep trying.
How many words can a person write in his lifetime?
I don’t know, let’s just give it a try.

Next is the book recommendation session. It’s a rare opportunity for me to go to Sanjiang, so I think I have some skills. Of course, I can’t forget my friends. I won’t post the links because there are too many books, so you can just take a look at them.
By the way, you bunch of losers should give me some tips.
Is there anything you haven’t collected yet? I’ll be hurt, you bastard.
