A letter to book friends in the New Year
Unknowingly, the first month of 2024 will pass, and the New Year will be celebrated in 9 days. I am here to wish you all a happy new year!
[Which you want] I started writing this book in May last year, and it has been updated for 9 months now with 1.7 million words. The author did not expect that one day he would write such a long novel.
It can only be said that things are changing and everything is possible. No one knows how their future will change.
The author has been reading online novels since he was in junior high school. He is an old bookworm with more than ten years of reading experience.
At that time, there were not as many channels for online novels as there are now. The author clearly remembered that if he wanted to read a book, he had to go to a bookstore near the school to rent it. A deposit of 20 yuan was required, and renting a book cost one yuan a day.
At that time, I read books like "Child of Light", "The Way of the Ascension of the Dragon", "Bullet Scars", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and so on.
Of course there is also [I am the Archmage] which is considered as the author’s introductory book for online novels.
I don’t know if you have read this book before. To be honest, the content of the book was a great shock to the author’s young mind.
Now that I think about it, I can’t remember the details, but I still have an impression of the general plot.
The great mage, angel, witch, etc. who eat sweet potatoes have unlimited magic power, all kinds of YY, all kinds of fun.
In this way, the author developed the habit of reading online novels, which he has continued to this day.
In the past ten years or so, the author has read countless online novels and witnessed the rise of various great platinum writers. I just feel that reading is a very enjoyable thing. I never thought that one day I would do the same. Put pen to paper and write a book.
I only started to read Huayuwen in the past few years. At first, there were relatively few books in this genre, and it was difficult to find books. In recent years, there have been more talented writers, but there are not many that really suit my taste. many.
At the beginning of this year, the author took a break at home for several months due to a change in work.
To put it bluntly, I felt uncomfortable working at my last company and resigned, but I haven’t found a new job yet.
With nothing to do every day, I spend more time reading books. I catch up on the latest chapters of all the books I can. After falling into a book shortage, one day the author suddenly thought of writing one himself.
Just do it if you think of it, and it will be fine anyway.
It happened that I had been reading various types of Chinese entertainment articles during that time, so I started reading this book.
The result is out of control, until now.
To be honest, the author is really grateful to the readers when he first started writing the book. Just like Qing Mochou, whom I thanked in the book circle, the author didn’t understand anything when he first started writing the book. He just relied on his heart. The spirit was supporting me. Many people in the book circle praised the author for his good writing. These comments at that time really gave the author a lot of encouragement.
In this way, this book "As You Like" was recommended from the urban channel all the way to the Sanjiang recommendation of the current issue, and then put on the shelves.
At that time, the author didn’t know anything about the various recommendation mechanisms of Qidian. He only knew how to post articles with code words. I am very grateful to my screenwriter Qinghu for his support all the way. He taught the author a lot of things and saved him from wandering. took many detours. A month after it was put on the shelves, this book got the premium badge. It has been ordered for 4,500 until now, and it can still get a moderate score at the starting point.
I am really grateful to everyone who has supported the author and this book along the way.
I can see in my background that familiar names are voting for monthly votes and recommendation votes every month. I am really grateful to you all, thank you for your support.
Every time I see these, the author can feel that someone likes what he has written, and he is very happy and proud!
Speaking of which, because the author is new, when he started publishing books, the first thing he did when he woke up every day was to read the comments from book friends. Those who praised him would be very happy, and he would be very energetic for the rest of the day.
When you see criticism, you will feel sad, and you will be in a bad mood for a while, which may even affect your writing state.
So I am very fortunate to have met a group of friendly readers when I started writing the book. It is your encouragement that keeps me writing.
This is how the current 1.7 million-word "As You Like It" comes into being.
I have said a lot, and I don’t know if you are willing to listen to the author’s nagging.
It’s funny.
Next, I would like to talk to you about some of the author’s thoughts on writing a book. .
Because the author is an old reader, when writing the book, he naturally took into account his own requirements when reading the book.
When I was reading a book before, the author would first ask for the things in the book to be as real and reasonable as possible, so that they would have a sense of involvement and at least make sense logically.
Another one, the author thinks about what he would do to be happy if he were the protagonist. If the protagonist does not feel happy, it does not meet the requirements.
On these two points, it is quite easy to talk about it. When you are a reader, the author uses these two points to select books to read.
But now that I am writing a book, I also think that it would be too difficult to write based on these two points. It is very difficult to do any of them.
Now this book "As You Like" can only be said to have managed to achieve a little bit, and there are still many shortcomings. It is really the author's limited ability.
Having said so much, the author would like to say that online novels were once a dream that the author had when he was a child. Originally, he could only experience various fantasy stories and lives through the dreams of others.
Now that I have the opportunity to weave such a dream myself and make the decision entirely by myself, it feels really good.
The author will persevere, write out the dreams he wants to have in his heart, and present them to every reader who supports me. I hope you like my dreams, and I hope you can be happy and happy when you take them in. readily! ! !
