Chapter 893
893 Milestone, new journey
~~
The nine Astra skies had been published for exactly a year, and he was filled with emotions.
He could still vaguely remember the uneasiness and anxiety he felt when he first changed from online games to fantasy games.
Snail felt that he had the ability to control the subject matter of fantasy, but without being tested by the market, no one could guarantee what kind of results snail’s fantasy would produce. After all, snails made a living off of this. He had been under a lot of pressure during that period, and neither the editor nor the readers were optimistic about his chances.
No one could imagine how much preparation snail had done in order to transform. He had studied the readers ‘orientation and the infinite tastes of readers. He had almost studied the popular fantasy books as textbooks, studying their conversations, studying the arrangement of the plot, and even some very small details had been deeply engraved in snail’s mind.
Snail had been preparing for more than three months, flipping over one beginning after another before he dared to publish the book at Qidian.
When the book was first released, the response was not very good.
The snail admitted that it had borrowed from many books at the beginning.
Just like when he first started writing the game, snail imitated a book called the legend of priests. Later, as he wrote one book after another, he gradually developed his own style.
The opening of the nine Astra skies had a very obvious style of imitation. Imitation was a path that every newcomer had to walk. In the fantasy category, snail was indeed a complete newcomer. However, snail had his own unique style.
After enduring the period when the book was just released, the results of the nine Astra skies were indeed worthy of snail’s hard work.
There were nearly 70000 favorites, and it rose to 140000. The number of clicks, recommendations, and monthly votes were all good, and the subscription count was also the best out of all the books at that time. Later on, there was a problem with the clone’s plot, and it wrote about The Blood Divine Kingdom’s refining technology. Everyone’s response was not good, and after a period of silence, snail quickly corrected it, and the results rose steadily.
Although snail updated very little, the effort it put in was no less than anyone else. Other than eating, sleeping, and accompanying its family, the snail’s remaining energy was almost entirely devoted to the novel. For every plot point it wrote, snail had to think of at least three or four possible plot developments and then choose the best one.
perhaps snail’s penmanship isn’t very good, but snail studies your hobbies, tastes, daily recommendations, clicks, monthly votes, daily subscriptions, and changes in new subscriptions almost every day through all kinds of data. Snail knew almost every piece of data by heart.
Until now, the average subscription count had exceeded 10000 in a whole year. There were dozens to 5000 subscriptions every 24 hours, and the daily increase in subscription count had soared to more than 70000. There were more than 100 million views on wireless reading.
For the first fantasy book, snail gave himself and everyone a satisfactory answer.
This first step was the right one. To the snail, a good start was half the success.
Once, snail had also been vexed. If he had been writing fantasy novels from the beginning, his achievements would have been far more than that. But now, snail might need at least three to five years to reach the peak of fantasy.
But snail was also very fortunate, because writing online games had made many friends that he could treat with sincerity. Some people might have stopped writing online games or reading novels because of snail, but they would still come to Qidian to support snail. This kind of friendship, the snail was extremely grateful. The period of time when he was fighting for monthly votes while travelling as a thief was the most unforgettable time in the snail’s life! I still feel my blood boiling when I think about it. Thank you so much.
Of course, there are also many new friends here. Thank you for your support for snail!
The nine-star fantasy book was snail’s first fantasy book. It was indeed lacking in many aspects, but it also wrote some of snail’s own characteristics. The results were within snail’s expectations. Those readers who were scared away by the nine-star opening, please look forward to snail’s next book. When the time comes, you will see something unique and different. The next book would definitely be a different fantasy novel. It would no longer have such a routine opening.
He remembered an advertisement from the game snail: Snails were born for dreams.
From today onwards, it was a new starting point and a new journey.
I want to climb up step by step and fly forward on the leaf at the highest point.
In the past few years, although it had experienced many twists and turns and its life had not been smooth, snail had never forgotten the sincere dream in its heart when it first heard Zhou jelun’s song and took this pen name.
