1908. Written on the last day of 2024(2/2)

Later, I provided an outline as required, and then it was rejected again and again.

Later I changed the name to this, but it still didn't pass.

Later, I troubled editor Ziliang and solved it with his help.

Of course, the twists and turns of the process are not very different in essence. The main purpose is to illustrate that in the title of the book, Revolver really hopes to be simple and straightforward.

The same goes for the story. It doesn’t deliberately pull emotions, doesn’t pretend to be sophisticated, and explains the way to complete the task in the most straightforward way, so that everyone can see it clearly, although this means that it needs to undergo more intense scrutiny.

6. Is there an outline? How many words?

Yes, but not much. The outline and basic settings are about 60,000 words. It relies more on improvisation.

However, Zuolun has an essay word file for this book with a name similar to "Ten Whys Every Day". When I think of interesting ideas or interesting questions, I write them in it and ask and answer them.

And now it's split into four.

The reason is that after the system of my old laptop was upgraded last year, the lag was very serious when opening and typing files with hundreds of thousands of words. I had to open a new file, and later found that the upper limit of lag was about 70,000 words, and then opened it again.

After looking at it so far, the number of words in each document is 442,000, 75,000, 70,000, and 6,000 respectively, totaling less than 600,000.

I hope this number can help to support the above sentence, "Revolver has already helped me deeply."

7. Why is there a percentage when loading tasks? Is it because of the word count?

In fact, careful book lovers may find that the loading progress figures of several tasks in the middle are a bit strange.

Because the initial loading progress was indeed to form a standard format. Later, Zuolun felt it was a bit monotonous, so he wanted to do a different sequence problem for each task to help the attentive book friends miss the math class:-D

But later on, I really didn’t have enough energy, so I just kept the standard format.

8. How are the results? Have you done any promotion?

I am very ashamed that this book has not done any free or paid promotion so far, including but not limited to book lists, book promotion numbers, monthly passes, etc.

The development up to now has been relying on the tap water of book friends.

Why do I say I feel ashamed? Because for a long time, this has been a proactive choice, stemming from some principles that newcomers take for granted.

For example, the story should be pure, the author should be as invisible as possible, and the pleasure of reading should not be spoiled by any off-site factors, let alone talk too much about family matters.

For example, the results should also be pure and can be said with confidence under any circumstances without relying on the power of promotion.

I don’t even want to put too much pressure on myself and make the update more difficult...

However, from a while ago, there was a problem with the revolver's consciousness - it was too taken for granted and selfish.

Now is an era of sharing. The joy of reading is not limited to the story itself, but also finding resonance.

It is a very good feeling to be recognized for what you like and find people who share the same interests. As a gamer, Zuo Lun knows this very well.

In fact, this is also a spiritual appeal that humans have always had, and the information age has made it even more magnified. For example, even if you have already watched a movie, you will occasionally think of it and watch it again with the barrage.

In essence, Revolver's contempt for promotion and some unnecessary principles have actually hurt the fans of this book and greatly reduced everyone's enjoyment in this aspect.

Only a few people can see the carefully written analysis, and only a few can resonate with the emotions that burst out when reading.

In particular, reading this book actually consumes more mental energy. The final result is that more effort is spent, and the investment and return are not proportional.

You may even be forced to doubt yourself or even deny yourself.

Some book friends have sent me screenshots, and I have seen it myself. A rhetorical question that often appears in the comment area is - if there are no problems with this book, why can't it be seen on the monthly ticket list?

It is indeed difficult to refute, the heart-piercing power is quite powerful.

Reading itself is a very subjective matter, and it is fair to a certain extent to use quantifiable data to compare.

So when faced with such a question, many book friends may not be able to help but think - is there really a problem?

No story can withstand such questioning.

It is a very painful feeling to be forced to deny something you like, or even doubt yourself about your past likes. Zuolun also knows this very well.

Perhaps the author has narcissistic self-confidence, but he cannot ask book lovers to do the same.

Not to mention that in addition to promotion issues, some of the negative effects of this book are too numerous to mention.

Including but not limited to newcomers, new books, few updates, frequent requests for leave, and discontinued recommendations...

The comment area was not managed for a long time, so much so that some book friends became angry and said they would never post any comments again...

The story mode determines that the proportion of reading books is extremely high, and the recommendation of the starting point is almost entirely determined by reading...

The lazy chapter names, although the original intention is to be lazy, it is also to make it easier for everyone to lock in the copy, but the reading data will inevitably be more compromised, or even inferior to pure numbers...

I am not looking for reasons to say the above, but to sum it up in one sentence - it is not that everyone has a problem with taste, the responsibility lies with the revolver, and there are a lot of debuffs, which greatly affects the results.

All in all, during the creation process of this book, the author thought too simply and for his own pleasure.

And now Revolver has decided to take on more.

Readers who read carefully and spend energy to analyze, because they smile knowingly at interesting places, should not suffer any extra grievances.

As the person in charge of this story and this fun, Zuolun will later use part of the income from this book to do some promotional activities.

And the first step has been made clear, which is to complete the lv4 out-of-circle achievement at the starting point.

The book has already entered the second half, so this may not have good results, but after completion, at least 20 more fan titles will be gained every month, and the money spent can be given back to book friends to the maximum extent possible.

In addition, one of the requirements for the "Out of the Circle" achievement is interaction between readers.

So what Zuolun would like to ask everyone here is to leave a thumbs up for the wonderful comments and thoughtful interpretations while reading.

If you can, please leave your own opinions. There is no limit to speech in the comment area of ​​this book.

If you have anything you want to tell Zuolun, you are welcome to leave a message at any time. Zuolun will answer everything as soon as possible.

Sharing is a very happy thing. Zuolun deeply realized this during the process of writing this book. He hopes that book lovers will not miss this kind of fun while reading.

Every support you give will help the development of this story enter a virtuous cycle.

Revolver thanks again.

It’s a long write-up. I’d like to thank all the book friends who can see it here. Finally, I’d like to promote our book friends group again.

The Chinese New Year is celebrated in January this year, and it is already the twelfth lunar month. If you are interested, don’t forget to lurk in advance to grab the Chinese New Year red envelopes.

The size of the red envelope will be proportional to the number of people, so you don’t have to worry about diluting everyone’s luck.

Happy New Year, I wish everyone good health and good luck in 2025^▽^
Chapter completed!
