Chapter 125: Shelf Speech! (Daily Chit-Chat of a Cross-Dressing Boss)
......
It’s time for the feeling of launch, let’s discuss the feelings about Three Rivers that we didn’t finish talking about.
How should I say this, these past two months have been quite emotional, there were moments of low spirits and happy times. To be honest, when I started this book, I was hoping to make some extra money to slightly improve my life.
Of course, if you say I’m talking nonsense, then I have to explain it to you.
When this book had thirty thousand words, it had four favorites, and one of them was clicked by myself.
Thirty thousand words and three favorites, with this data, besides feeling exhausted, I couldn’t think of any words to describe it.
Then I started experiencing my first recommendation, a popular serialization. Apparently, this recommendation slot is a death trap, and it’s extremely difficult to stand out from it. It was at this time that my idea of earning a full attendance bonus started to take root.
Because my ranking was eighth!
And I looked at the weekly rankings of popular serializations before, only the top three can get the site’s recommendation slot.
When I was eighth and still got the fantasy new book recommendation, I literally jumped up and shouted—I’m not lying to you all, I was called crazy by people back then. Maybe because of writing novels, my character is reserved, so I didn’t think of explaining even when I was called crazy.
Here, I must thank my editor, Blue Fox, who let me see hope in despair, then gave me despair again, and then hope... tortured me miserably... but still, thank you.
Then this book was recommended in fantasy new books, and everything started going smoothly.
Even now, I still find it unbelievable.
I welcomed a lot of readers who loved this book, their rewards gave me hope, their comments made me create a group, and they gave me motivation. Some readers even bet with me that if I get a good recommendation slot next week, they’d reward me with a Squad Leader.
Yes, the result was there wasn’t a good recommendation slot.
But I gained a Squad Leader!
Here, I must mention two readers, who are ranked first and second in the fan rankings, their rewards brought me delightful surprises. Especially One Thought, whose account hadn’t read many books, yet gave me a Sect Leader!
Probably others would think it’s the author’s alternate account giving the reward.
Haha.
After these two grand masters, many friends who liked to give rewards started appearing, 10 bucks, 20 bucks, not much, yet it was my motivation. With them, I persisted all the way from the depths to now.
Tomorrow I’m standing on a completely new starting line, so let’s say a few more words at this time.
The responsibility back then was undoubtedly heavier.
Two updates definitely can’t happen again.
So, the pressure is still quite heavy.
However, the pressure can also be said to not be heavy, because after all, I started earning money, sometimes money can really give authors motivation. Although I don’t know if this is a pathological thought, but I think, whether it’s money or other things, as long as it can give the author the motivation to write, it’s good.
Getting launched tomorrow, everyone, if you want to give rewards, please throw them at me tomorrow.
Silently hoping here—will there be an Alliance Leader?
Hehe.
Alright, it’s already half-past nine, time to go and write drafts.
Finally, let me say something, up till now, there are definitely 95% of the readers going to read the pirated version, thinking of this percentage in mind, it’s actually quite upsetting. Ten thousand favorites, only three to four hundred people stay to read the authentic version... you imagine, this ratio is really a bit exaggerated...
Actually, one Chapter is less than a dime, even if I update ten Chapters a day, watching for a month is less than 30 bucks, especially since I can’t update ten Chapters a day, so the money spent each month is even less.
Nowadays, picking up a random children’s book at the bookstore can easily cost dozens...
Of course, I know many pirated readers are also reading multiple books at the same time, if accumulated, it would be one or two hundred a month, or even more. Here, I’m not trying to say anything about reading pirated versions, both authentic and pirated readers are book lovers, and if you love it, I’m very happy.
But I still hope that if you have the ability to afford the dime per Chapter, please give me authentic support. In the Online Literature Realm, for grassroots writers like us, we can barely earn any money at the end of a month.
The average income in China is over five thousand now, even if you just know computers and work as a hotel receptionist, you can earn thousands—still living a leisurely life daily. Whereas for writing online literature, the monthly income isn’t as much as others’ leisurely earnings.
...
Forget it, let’s not talk about it.
If you think this book is good, makes you feel satisfied, makes you happy, please give me authentic support.
In life, we just seek satisfaction!
When life is unsatisfactory, spending 30 bucks a month can buy satisfaction from me. But if you look at those 30 bucks at home, can you feel satisfied? If you truly can, then with this illness, 30 bucks isn’t enough for the cab fare to the hospital.
So, rewards, Monthly Passes, Recommendation Tickets, throw them all at me.
Launch is here!
Explosive updates are here!
Tomorrow at noon, 12 o’clock!
