At this moment, I was filled with emotions, because it has been a full year since the book was released on January 11, 2016!
One year, 365 days, 2.43 million words, and 754 chapters. I dare not say that it has never stopped updating, but I have been writing very steadily and diligently most of the days.
To be honest, when I published the book, I never thought that I would be able to persist for so long. I would like to thank all the genuine readers for their support and love for so long. Without you, I might have given up writing one night when I was physically and mentally exhausted. .
Over the past year, to be honest, I really admire myself. As a small DS in the Internet industry, despite normal overtime work and endless bad things, I can still write more than 2.4 million words a year. I think this is really extraordinary. Very awesome.
I remember that when the results of this book just started, I persisted in updating four times a day for a long time. At that time, I used all the time I could use. Not only did I burn the midnight oil every night, I even bought an ultra-thin Ben, during his lunch break every day, he would hide in an unoccupied cubicle in the company and code for an hour.
Of course, all the effort was well worth it, and half of the allies in this book were born at that stage.
Later, I also wanted to get back that kind of hard work and state, but as my work became increasingly busy and I couldn't get off work before eight o'clock every day, and I started to work overtime on Saturdays as a regular basis, I really didn't have the basic conditions for continuous outbreaks. As for the update I still owe from the new leader [Qu Ritian], I am unable to repay the debt even if I promise to update two chapters a day and at least 6,000 words a day. I feel very sorry.
I often see friends leaving messages in the comment area, asking me to quit my job and write full-time. I admit that the income from writing has exceeded my salary income by a lot now, but I would quit my job after my first book and seeing some results. I haven’t been able to convince myself yet. Besides, I don’t know what the life of a full-time writer is like. Would it be too boring to write every day and have less contact with people? If I’m not allowed to go to work, I’d be asked to type at home every day. I’m afraid. I might not be able to adapt.
But I’m also thinking that if my performance in 2017 can be maintained or even improved, maybe I can find a lighter job and work eight hours a day, five days a week. That would make me feel happy just thinking about it. .
I'm not very good at sensationalism. Since the book was released, apart from the routine comments on the launch and recommendation of Qidian, I have never posted a single chapter asking for votes, subscriptions, or rewards. It's not me. I don’t want to post it because I’m not very good at saying things that encourage others to help, and I don’t want to make things too pretentious, so I can only say a few words at the end of the chapter without any pain. The reason why I opened this single chapter today is because To commemorate the first anniversary, I feel that I should leave something for myself and this book in the past year.
On the first anniversary of the publication of this book, I would like to express my solemn thanks again to Editor Yisuo from Qidian. You are the author of this book and mine. When Qidian is about to be grouped and you are about to no longer manage urban works, you are still there. He tried his best to give me guidance and advice, and talked with me about the story structure and plot settings for a long time. I will never forget this feeling!
Of course, I would also like to thank Hu Huo, the boss of the Urban Workplace Group, and Fan Fan, the editor-in-chief, for your continued cultivation!
Finally, I would like to thank all readers who support the genuine version. Each of your subscriptions is the fundamental motivation for me to get to where I am today and continue as always. I hope readers of this book can support the genuine version as much as possible. My monthly updates, Full subscription is just the price of a pack of affordable cigarettes, and it’s just a can of Red Bull for me to stay up late and code.
On the occasion of the first anniversary, thank you all, thank you! bow! There is a long way to go, and I look forward to continuing to work side by side with you! bow!
