Chapter 103 - 103: Launching tomorrow, please subscribe
My final gamble failed, I couldn’t make it to the Three Rivers.
After all these years, this is the first time, an unexpectedly new experience.
The rules for listing on Qidian have now changed. For new books, those that perform well in the first three rounds can make it to the Three Rivers and then get listed. Those who make it to the fourth round are already hopeless for the Three Rivers and are deemed to lack potential.
And now, I’m already in the fifth round.
I’m grateful to editor Jiang Cha for giving me two chances, but I, being slow-witted, failed to seize them.
When writing, someone in the author group said that writing is an act of obstinacy, the author must be a dictator.
A stubborn dictator of an author may not necessarily produce great success, but an author who actively listens to reader opinions, I’ve never heard of having a good outcome.
I heard this, but didn’t quite take it all in.
The day I deliberately started a new chapter, Readership, 2018.
This performance could have made it to last week’s Three Rivers, but that day I faltered, receded, and then, lost a few hundred readers.
Of course, even if I didn’t lose readers, I would still have no chance for this week’s Three Rivers, with a readership of barely two thousand three hundred in the fantasy genre.
Damn!
I’m honestly helpless, there are too many veteran authors, all releasing new books in a heap after the New Year, each new book release comes with a resource package. My last book didn’t do well enough, essentially no different than a newbie, I had nothing and nowhere to go except listing.
I can’t blame others, only blame myself. If the performance of my last book was a little better, if the pace of this book was a little faster, if I had three thousand readers,
There are too many “ifs”, but in the end, the problem is still with myself. I can only blame my dullness and lack of skills.
After listing, I will try to update as much as possible. It’s a popular saying on Qidian that updating ten thousand words a day can change your fate (haha), I want to give it a try, see whether I can change my failed destiny, but ten thousand words a day is a bit difficult for me, let’s aim for eight thousand a day, strive for ten thousand!
I would greatly appreciate your subscriptions and support!
Thank you very much!
