The first draft of this book came out in March, and it was not finished until early April.

The editor made many pertinent suggestions and took the trouble to help me improve the main line and outline.

But he also made it clear that he was not optimistic about this book.

The editor hopes that I will plan carefully again, write a good article, draw up the main line and outline, and don't get used to the late bleeding, and I will have a certain hope of winning 10,000 subscriptions.

Facts have proved that the performance of this book is really not good.

After testing the waters and recommending it on the Sixth Channel, the book’s various indicators were so poor that it still failed to meet Sanjiang’s standards, so it was discontinued for two consecutive weeks.

If Sanjiang could not forcefully recommend it, this book would basically be useless.

I was very depressed and desperate at the time, and I wanted to give up for a while.

After talking with the editor, the editor helped arrange for Sanjiang and asked him to take a look at the situation. Then he arranged for strong promotion and gave several valuable app recommendations, but the data was still not ideal.

The editor predicts that the first order for this book may only be over a thousand.

After it was put on the shelves, the first order was indeed only 1,450.

It’s really bad compared to the 4,000 first-time subscriptions for Destiny Mobile, 3,000 for Wilderness, the nearly 3,000 first-time subscriptions for Gold Medal Host, and Future Playground.

It almost falls into the category of being cut off as soon as it’s put on the shelf.

As of today, at the end of the month, the number of follow-up subscriptions has dropped to 900, and the average subscription is still showing no improvement. It has inevitably entered the downward death channel.

Because there were no expectations, Lao Mo didn’t save any manuscripts before it was released.

The idea at the time was to write as much as I wanted, and it would be the same after it was put on the shelves as it was before it was put on the shelves. I would write two chapters of 4,000 words every day, get full attendance, and then take the time to come up with a new book.

When it was put on the shelves, I also applied for an inverted V from the editor, and started charging directly from 90,000 words. It was also a failure and broke the starting point. What I thought at the time was that I could make two more dollars, after all, my family

I have a three-year-old baby to raise, so it’s time to spend money. He will soon go to kindergarten, and there are more places to spend money.

After it was put on the shelves, I was thinking of releasing it in the middle of the month, but it was difficult to get up the monthly vote list, so I issued a single chapter and declared that I didn’t want monthly votes. I just wrote a few more chapters out of habit. I didn’t expect that the number of monthly votes would soon reach the top seven in the category.

The bonus of 1,500 for the top five in the category was a huge attraction to Lao Mo, so he yelled several times that he wanted to be among the top five in the category.

I need a monthly pass, so of course I feel embarrassed not to write more chapters.

When I woke up the next morning, I not only ranked among the top five in the category, but also ranked fourth in the category.

Then it rushed to third place in the category.

At this time, I suddenly realized that I was not far away from the 2,500 bonus for the top ten in the new book monthly ticket list.

The top ten in the new book monthly ticket list will receive a bonus of 1,000 yuan more than the top five in the category!

So the money-hungry old devil added a few more chapters, yelled a few more times, and said he wanted to be in the top ten of the monthly new book list.

If you can't rush forward, you have a reason to write two chapters every day, and then consider finishing the work of preparing a new book quickly.

Unexpectedly, the readers, brothers and sisters, were so awesome that they rushed forward again.

The old devil was greedy and took a fancy to the 5,000 yuan bonus for the top six on the new book monthly ticket list, but it was 2,500 yuan more than the top ten!

So I added a few more chapters and yelled a few times, saying that I wanted to be in the top six of the monthly new book list.

As a result, it shot up again, peaking at fifth place.

When I look back at the past, I find that there are updates every day. The promised good life of two updates and 4,000 words a day after it was released has never been realized.

Carried up by the enthusiasm of the brothers and sisters, there was no way to look back.

The energy to not admit defeat was also aroused.

Just like that, I got up on time at four o'clock in the morning, went to bed on time at nine o'clock in the evening, and continued to type day by day until today.

But in the end, the bleak reality faced us. The average subscription for this book was still only over a thousand.

The number of follow-up orders dropped every day, and after breaking through 1,000, it dropped to 900. The range was huge, and it was far from bottoming out.

This is a subscription result that may never receive any recommendations or exposure opportunities after leaving the new book monthly ticket list.

What awaits it is a slow death in the descending passage.

It's really sad.

More of a reluctance.

It's like you have worked hard to raise a child, but you can't give her more care and resources for growth. You can only watch her gradually wither and wither in a malnourished environment.

Heartache.

Personally, I like this book very much.

I think this is the best book I have written in my writing career, and it is also the book I want to write most.

This book has added a lot of anti-collapse patches to the main plot, so it is impossible for the book to collapse no matter what the plot is.

The protagonist Li Teng is the most vivid and distinctive of all the protagonists I have ever created.

He was even standing in front of me alive.

I could feel his struggle, his pain, his shouts, his helplessness, his joys and sorrows, and everything he wanted to express.

Although he was born at the bottom of society and the bottom of the film and television city, no matter how great the hardships he encountered, he never gave in or gave up. Just like a small grass, as long as it is given a little sunshine, it will grow.

With a little water, you can survive very stubbornly and tenaciously.

…

Ends in June.

The new book monthly ticket list is over.

The only channel to display this book is gone.

This once wonderful world in my heart seems to be completely closed at this moment.

If the world is closed, all his struggles, pains and shouts will become meaningless.

It's like someone is strangling your neck, making it harder and harder to breathe until you can't breathe anymore.

Very confused and don't know what to do.

This book has reached this point and quickly exceeded 500,000 words by the end of the month, which is beyond my expectation.

Because, it was not at all what I expected.

What on earth should I do?

Continue to persist in confusion?

In the conceivable future, without recommendations or exposure on the list, readers of this book will be lost day by day, and subscriptions will become lower and lower, until one day it becomes so low that the author cannot make a living, and then...

This shouldn't be its fate.

But it is a cruel reality that is about to happen.

Countless books with such dismal subscriptions have entered the downward channel and died in this way.

When I type these words on the keyboard, I feel very painful and unwilling.

In this painful tossing and turning, Lao Mo suddenly made an extremely crazy decision.

A decision that saved the life of this book.

But it was also a decision that put Lao Mo's wealth and life on the line and affected the lives of the whole family.

In July, Lao Mo wants to top the monthly vote list!

This is the book's only chance of survival.

Otherwise, this kind of subscription problem can only wait for death.

Just like he saved "Thriller World", Lao Mo wants to save "Thriller Sky".

Save this reluctant thought in the old devil's heart.

Lao Mo is different from those young writers.

As memory fades and inspiration dries up, there is really not much time and opportunity left for Lao Mo.

Just like being pushed by the wheel of time, I have to run forward and fight for my life.

…

There will not be any more monthly tickets plus one update in July.

Of course, we still have to continue updating, and pay back the arrears of the fifty-five chapters that were promised in June but have not yet been completed.

4157 monthly passes are counted as 4160. Now it is still 3610, and 55 more are still owed.

I urge brothers and sisters to vote for this book with a guaranteed monthly vote.

Every time brothers and sisters vote for a guaranteed monthly ticket, they can help Lao Mo save five yuan of his hard-earned money.

Real hard-earned money, hard-earned money that starts at four o'clock every day, goes to bed at nine o'clock, only eats one meal, and spends the rest of the time coding.

Every time you vote for a guaranteed monthly ticket, you help this book gain one more point of hope for survival.

More than a thousand subscriptions should not be its fate.
