Mysterious country

Since writing my first book, I have lost count of how many times I have imagined that one day my book will be able to break out of the category and be featured on the home page of Qidian.

Some old readers who have followed me along the way should know that my writing path has not been smooth. Not only did the results of my books fail, but also because of this genre, I was criticized miserably.

There have been so many times that I have thought about giving up. I feel that writing a book is so tiring, I can’t make any money, and there are so many people scolding me. Why should I continue writing? Why not use this time to do something I like.

Fortunately, I persisted.

When I started writing Wanted 4 years ago, I joined a group of writers who were all newbies.

At first, everyone felt that their creativity was as good as the sky, and that they had surpassed all kinds of great masters, and they all dreamed of becoming gods in a counterattack. And everyone has a firm belief in themselves.

But in less than a year, 90% of the people in the group screamed that they were bastards and laughed at their arrogance when they first wrote the article.

I felt that I was ridiculous back then, and it was ridiculous that I wanted to become a god.

When new people join, when these people hear the new people shouting the slogan of becoming a god, they will come out and laugh, and then use themselves as negative teaching materials, so that they can truly feel the cruelty of this industry.

At that time, there were more than 200 people in the group, and the eunuch rate was as high as 80%. Either because there was no recommendation, or because of poor grades, etc., she died in tears.

What's more, they keep opening books and then continue to be eunuchs, and then they keep changing their vests to continue digging holes, and then continue to be eunuchs.

The eunuchs in the group also tried to persuade me to enter the palace, saying that being an eunuch was very enjoyable and that you could start over once you cut it off.

It was not unreasonable for them to advise me, because at that time, Wanted Order had more than 800,000 words, less than 10,000 clicks, less than 2,000 collections, and it was not on the shelves.

So looking back, if I wasn't afraid of the pain, I might have been cruel and sincere.

Thank God, I didn't.

Because I feel that since your readers have not given up on yourself, they can tolerate your lousy writing, and they can tolerate your slow and deadly beginning, why should you give up on yourself? You typed it out word by word. I don’t know how many brain cells it burned and how many nights it cost you.

So I insisted on finishing the Terror Wanted Notice.

I also gained the trust of some brothers and sisters, which gave me a good start for my future creations.

Because you never know how to write a book until you finish it.

That's why there was such horror later on and the current Kingdom of Evil Spirits.

I also have some friends who have just written a book. Because they are newbies, they think that I am quite awesome as a veteran, and they always ask me how I turned from a small fan into a big fan.

Let me sum it up in just four words: insist on being responsible.

Hold on to your own dreams and be responsible to your readers.

I most want to send these words to all my colleagues who are involved in the paranormal category. Although the paranormal category is small, it is now full of vitality after the China Literature Group took over and the various categories were integrated and reorganized. I feel that we have all caught up with a step ghost. It’s another good time after Blowing the Lamp and Tomb Raider Notes. If you keep writing, it will always get better and better.

I think my being on the front page cover today is a typical example.

And here, I really want to express my gratitude to my colleagues on the creative journey:

Boss Mingyue and Boss Yaoguang.

When I was writing Extremely Horrible, I didn’t get a single home page recommendation or a single client recommendation, they were all in categories. At that time, I would always lament that if I couldn’t break out of the classification, I would die.

At that time, no one paid much attention to the supernatural. When most readers mentioned the supernatural, they thought it was a tomb-robbing book like Ghost Blows Out the Lamp.

Only a lucky few get the chance.

Mine was clearly not lucky at the time.

The Kingdom has been streaking since the beginning of the book. Even after trying to get to Sanjiang, it still failed to get strong recommendation. Just when I was discouraged, the supernatural classification was reorganized.

Therefore, I got to know Mingyue Boss. In my QQ notes, Mingyue Boss is "Hope" because she really made me see the hope of persevering, and then Guoguo began to receive recommendations.

The results began to gradually improve.

Later, Boss Mingyue was in charge of Chuangshi, and I met Boss Yaoguang. For Boss Yaoguang, I really have nothing but gratitude.

Back when they took over my job, my previous editor never took the initiative to talk to me, and he almost never responded to the questions I asked him.

He is always so cold and cold that I want to block him.

But Boss Yaoguang is not like this at all. He really knows how to push for updates, and he always tells me not to interrupt updates. Encourage me to write well and my grades will get better and better.

It's like a person who has been wandering outside all year round suddenly returns home, full of care and warmth.

As a small author, I have nothing to repay them. I can only do my best to write well and not waste the opportunity they gave me.

Finally, I would like to thank those brothers and sisters who have always supported me, tolerated me, supported me, and encouraged me. You are the parents who provide food and clothing for a smile, and I am grateful to you.

Your love for Yixiao will never be forgotten.

I promise that in the future, Yixiao will write better and better, and there will be more and more New Year red envelopes distributed in the group every year.

On the road of creation, with you by my side, I will be able to face rain or shine with a smile.
