Chapter 82: Launch Thoughts
Chapter 82: Launch Thoughts
This afternoon, I received a notification from my editor that this book can be launched, and I've decided to do so tomorrow at noon!
The book will go live precisely at noon tomorrow.
I'd like to express my gratitude to my managing editor, Yanxiao Da, whom I've worked with for eight years. I appreciate his perseverance even after I've flopped with so many books, and he always provides valuable suggestions for each one...
Initially, I planned to launch tonight at midnight since I don't have any backup chapters, but I had to postpone it until tomorrow. I'll be pulling an all-nighter to write, which is fortunate... Ever since having a child, I've been writing through the night.
Reflecting on the past, after several flops, I can finally launch a book again, and with everyone's efforts, it has made it to the Triad Rankings. Although we lost once in the Strong Push Competition, it's still a rare achievement. I bow to everyone! As I've mentioned before, after so many flops, this fantasy novel was supposed to be my last, a grand finale before retiring from writing.
To be honest, at the beginning, this book's performance was also poor. On the first day of being recommended, it garnered less than 200 subscriptions, and the backend conversion rate was only 1.9‰, while the average for recommended works is 3.5‰...
But at least it's better than my previous books, which only got a few dozen subscriptions per day when they were recommended, so I persisted and gradually climbed up a bit.
With my promotion, everyone helped get it onto the Triad Rankings... Even though the effect of the Triad Rankings is average, it's still a kind of honor.
As for the last Strong Push Competition during the new book period, the editor said that with a strong following, the chances are good, so they decided to launch my book.
...
I've been writing for many years, and this isn't my first launch, but I'm still nervous this time.
After all, it's the moment to evaluate the results of the new book period and see how many first subscriptions I can get.
I wrote 210,000 words before launching this new book, which is quite a lot for me. As for the backend, there are 3,800 fake followers, and the editor says there are 2,400 real ones. I have no idea if I can get 2,000 first subscriptions, as the current market is just too difficult and unpredictable.
So, I can only hope that everyone will support me with a wave of first subscriptions when the book launches, giving me a chance to compete for recommendations after the launch. Now, even after a book launches, recommendations are still determined by first subscription data, not the author's reputation...
It's genuinely challenging to write on Qidian these days. For the past six months, I've been struggling to make ends meet, essentially unemployed. I can only rely on this book to earn some formula money for my three-year-old child.
Of course, I don't have grand ambitions for this book either. My only wish is to complete it.
After all, this will be my last fantasy novel.
My goal is three million words, and finishing the book will be a victory!
Regarding post-launch updates, I'll keep it simple—10,000 words every day.
If everyone wants more, it will depend on the monthly votes. For every additional 500 votes, we'll add one more chapter, plain and simple...
In my heyday, I was like an octopus, writing up to 500,000 words in a month. So, everyone can rest assured and follow along.
For this book, my goal is to write it to completion, to write it thoroughly.
The night rain on the rivers and lakes has been my companion for ten years, from being a foodie in 2016 to now, in 2024, eight years have passed, and it's not far from a decade...
I don't know how much longer I can write, but as long as I'm still writing, I'll give it my all.
I won't say much more.
The book will launch at noon tomorrow, and I'm asking everyone to support me with first subscriptions. Support me, Old Li, and let me have a chance at the post-launch recommendations.
I can only repay everyone with burst updates!
Without further ado, I'll get back to writing. I'll pull an all-nighter tonight and push hard tomorrow!
Finally, I ask once more for subscriptions!
Old Li bows to everyone!
Dong dong dong dong dong!
I beg for subscriptions, monthly votes, and recommendation votes! I seek everyone's enthusiastic following!
See you tomorrow!
Don't forget to come!
