I felt genuinely depressed.
So, I deleted that chapter and wrote a new ending statement.
I originally wanted to simply write an ending. I didn't want to say anything more because the cry I made before the release of the product, even when I summarized and expressed my reluctance, not many people read or responded.
Do you still expect everyone to empathize in the end
I am really tired and I don’t want to write any long closing remarks.
However, people do not understand.
Let's be fair! Take out all the objective facts and prove them one by one.
I wrote 330,000 words and put it online without even putting it online. How many One Piece fan fictions have written more than I did before putting it online? Isn't this enough to prove my persistence
I hope to write more words to accumulate readers. I cried out on the last night before the book was put on the shelves. I hope someone can see my persistence and my heart-wrenching roar. I am unwilling to accept this current situation.
What happened? I was just a clown that was laughed at by others. Do you know what a clown is? It is a joke in the eyes of others!
After two months without any recommendations, I continued to write to the 450,000th word!
In three months, you only make three or four hundred yuan! If you tell others about this, they will say you are shameless!
Don’t I want to keep writing
Don't I want to top it
If I were the person who had plenty of spare money last year, I would undoubtedly continue to read this book in a slow-burn manner and I would finish it to the end.
But how can I stand it now!
What day is today? It’s the 31st. I have to pay my rent next month. I can’t even afford 300 yuan! If I pay this month, I’ll be kicked out next month!
Eat? How to eat? You don’t even have money. People just tell you to mess around!
I didn't want to write this because it would only lead to ridicule.
For example, I have deleted the chapter where I called the police. Why? Because human nature is inherently cold and indifferent. When others see you in trouble, they have no sympathy at all and may even treat you as a joke.
If you haven't personally experienced what I experienced while staying up late to conceive the plot and write 450,000 words despite constant warnings from family members and pressure from life, you don't know what persistence is!
I wanted to write a story that I thought had a reasonable development, but it did not cater to the market trend, resulting in very poor results.
I thought I could withstand the pressure and continue writing, but life has already made me breathless, and I really can't do without money.
I won't accept it!
I have said in my speeches how many times I am unwilling to give up, but is it useful? Is it useful!
For a small author like me, not even many people read my final remarks.
Apart from the two most basic recommendations, this book has 450,000 words, but still has no recommendation.
Sad and powerless!
I have to admit the reality. The dismal subscriptions have made me see the current market trend clearly.
It’s so hard to write slow-paced articles! Most of the articles I see now are fast-paced.
I said that the book ends here, and this book can be regarded as the "prequel" of the protagonist Coles. I have almost finished writing this slow-burn article.
Next, switch to a fast-paced style.
For my new book, I am planning to write the next story of the protagonist Charlotte Coles, and I don’t want this story to have no end.
Even though I knew that writing the second book would greatly affect my performance, I still wanted to give it a try. I wanted to see if I could make some money by using a fast-paced approach so that I could continue writing this story.
I was unwilling to give up even at this point and wrote this story. Am I not persistent enough
Is there any other way for me to go
No, this is the only way I can go!
As long as there is support for this slow-burning One Piece fan fiction, I will undoubtedly continue to finish it in a slow-burning way, even if I can't make any money in a month, as long as it is enough to eat and pay the rent.
But, is it enough
It's not even half enough! I can't even pay one month's rent!
Do I have to borrow money from the bank to continue writing
If that's the case, then why deny my persistence
I am now completely writing a loan. I received a text message this morning stating that the money will be automatically deducted next month and any overdue payments will be reported to the credit bureau.
I have to repay the loan in installments every month!
I didn’t want to write all this originally, because it would be a joke to others, but when I posted a simple closing statement, people rejected it.
When I saw that question, I felt heartbroken!
I admit that I have no writing skills, I admit that my writing is not very good, and I admit that I did not cater to the market and was beaten like a drowned dog!
But my efforts and persistence cannot be denied. These 450,000 words reflect my all-out investment. I remember every plot in my heart, and every fragment is still fresh in my mind!
…
…
This prequel ends here.
I want to write the next story of the protagonist Charlotte Coles in a new style with a fast-paced and refreshing style to see if it can be popular and make enough money to allow me to continue writing.
However, I cannot guarantee whether the new book can be published. It depends on whether the editor approves it. I am still in the initial stage of conceiving.
If it can be published, I will send out a new chapter notification when the book is published.
Except giving up.
This is my only way now.
