A Web Novelist's Survival Guide to Ancient Times

It has been many years since I uploaded any novels since "Awakening - Like Yesterday" and "There's a Ghost in My Body". During this period, I also wrote an urban fantasy novel, but I felt unsatisfied and revised it many times. After that, I never uploaded it to my computer. As mentioned in the introduction, during the Chinese New Year, I suddenly came up with the idea of ​​writing a novel about how ordinary Internet writers survived in ancient times. Since this book has a slow pace and is biased toward realistic farming stories, I think 90% of the time I will be able to read it, and my editor also said that most of the time I will be able to read it... T_T But even so, I decided to insist on finishing this book. I have tried to write short-form articles in order to earn royalties before, but after writing, I realized that it is not so easy to write popular short-form articles. It's easy to see what other people write, but after trying it, I realize that I really don't have the talent in this area. So, I decided to take another path and let myself go completely. I only wrote what I wanted to write. I regarded writing novels mostly as a kind of self-entertainment and partly as a part-time job that could earn me some extra money. For example, just like the national football team, if the majority of fans position it as a third-rate team. Losing is normal. If you are lucky and beat a strong Asian team such as Japan or South Korea, wouldn't it be a happy surprise? But if we insist on treating the national football team as a first-class team, then after losing the game, the fans will only be disappointed and angry. Sometimes if you think about a problem from another angle, you will come to a completely different point of view. In the same way, I position myself as a third-rate writer who doesn't do well. It's normal to be aggressive, but it's abnormal not to be aggressive. Many things can be successful without trying your best, especially when it comes to writing novels. Market demand, reader tastes, update speed, and whether there are enough exciting features and other factors all determine whether this book will be popular. Sometimes all the conditions are met, and it depends on the writer's personal luck and publicity channels. For a nerd like me, these are not things I can handle. Therefore, apart from posting this book in my book club, I neither asked other authors I knew to help advertise it, nor did I post on forums to promote it. In short, I just didn't want to ask for help, and I was too lazy to bother. Anyway, if it doesn't become popular, it's better to write it purely as a hobby, which is easier. After finishing this book, I plan to write a novel about a female protagonist without CP. Maybe I will post a female video then, it just depends on whether they will accept it or not. I have gone further and further on the road of completely letting myself go, just like the lyrics in "Broad Sea and Sky": Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life. Although I cannot be a prodigal son in real life, when it comes to writing novels, I decided to be a prodigal writer, obeying the arrangements of my heart and moving with the wind. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, just follow the clouds and flowing water, follow whatever you want. Although these words are a bit literary and middle school, they are indeed my true thoughts now. But no matter what, thank you all for your support and support. I will write this book well, even if it really fails. After so many years in the Internet literary world, although I have never become popular, my mentality has been greatly improved, and this is enough. In just a few decades of life, there are not many things you can really do as you please. In this case, at least when it comes to writing novels, let me continue to be willful.

Regarding the writing method in the book, although the author thinks that copying the book is too limitless and wants to write it himself, the fairy tale created by Pig's Feet is obviously a popular fairy tale routine, which creates a problem. The book written by the author is still a routine novel, but it is impossible to write down the details for the sake of length. This makes the readers feel cumbersome when reading the book. After all, everyone is tired of this kind of routine novel, and there are no innovative details. It was really uncomfortable to watch.

Please author, please don't deviate from the main line, end it as soon as possible, and return to the plot of the book as soon as possible.

I just want to say, your protagonist is such a good writer, why does he get involved in these messy things? Is there any use in setting these things up for him? To improve his status? Then why not arrange for him to take the imperial examination?

I was really speechless when I saw that it turned into an imperial power officialdom again in the end.

The first part is very novel, but the second part is completely off-topic, and some of the stuff written is so bad, no wonder it's so popular, the author has no idea what the readers are here to see.

Author, please try writing Japanese light novels again, times have changed. In the past, the mainstream online literature was domestic fantasy, immortality flow, and urban. Before that, it was domestic western fantasy flow. Now it has become system flow, Japanese light novel flow, and comedy flow. The changes in the trend of online writing are due to changes in the readership group. The reason for the popularity of domestic Western fantasy in the past was the introduction of novels such as The Lord of the Rings, Dragonlance, and Ice and Fire into the country, which triggered a wave of domestic Western fantasy creation. After that, domestic fantasy and immortality novels gradually flourished. At the same time, popular works continued to emerge in urban areas, because compared to Western fantasy, fantasy immortality and urban fantasy are more easily accepted by domestic readers. It goes without saying that the reasons for the decline of cities are well known. The recent rise of system flow, light novel flow, and comedy flow represents the growth of a new generation of readers. They grew up reading comics and playing games, so system, comedy, and light novel genres have become so popular recently. Author, you are good at Japanese light novels, and your two best novels are of this type. In the past, when you saw others writing trivial novels to make money, you followed the trend, but you don't understand the routines of trivial novels at all. Without the writing style of trivial novels, following the trend is tantamount to comparing one's own shortcomings to others' strengths, and it is inevitable that you will fall into the street. After reading your preface, I agree with you about willfulness, but I think if you still want to make more money from novels, you'd better explore your own strengths. You can read the works of Undersea Wanderer. He is the best author of Nichi Qingwen. I think your ghostly awakening style is somewhat similar to his. You can learn from his writing style, or refer to the writing style of popular Niqingwen. Based on your previous strength, I think it won't be a problem for you to become a high-quality novel. As for the master, I won't say anything. The master of Internet articles, this statement is too flattering. Look at what is happening at the starting point now. The feeling of writing Internet articles is like a contracted job in the old society, without rights and dignity. I originally searched to see if there are still people who can become Internet article masters in this situation. Unexpectedly, I found your work.

It's really boring to watch. The author's main line is writing novels. Now he's completely separated from the main line. There's only one article a day, so it's time to get together and relax.

He can always go off topic.

It's great to write a book. It's just a matter of getting a newspaper. I have to go into politics.
