I can't sleep, and I don't know where to start, so I'll start with myself.
I started reading online novels in 2005. My first book was In Search of Supernatural, and I read it on the learning machine.
I came into contact with horror novels in high school. Every week, I would buy horror magazines with my friends, and I liked Junji Ito's horror manga the most.
I was very timid, and I never put the magazines beside my bed after I finished reading them.
The first time I had the urge to write was also in high school. I wrote a supernatural short story in three days and sent it to the magazine, but it didn't pass.
At that time, my biggest wish was that one day, when my classmates went to buy a magazine, they would suddenly flip to my novel and say, "Oh my god, isn't this that guy in our class?"
Unfortunately, this wish never came true.
I really made up my mind to try it when I was in my second year. I submitted 31 short stories, four medium stories, and one long story to the magazine, Weibo, and WeChat, but none of them passed.
I wrote 580,000 words of useless manuscripts, and the outline and ideas were stuffed into a drawer, a little like Yan Danian.
I'm not the kind of person who gets along well with others. I'm very introverted, and I'm afraid to communicate with others.
It's the same now. Every time I go to the group to talk, I feel like I have to struggle for a long time.
I've always felt that writing a book is a very lonely thing, and I've always been alone.
So the main character in my book actually has no friends, and the closest person to him is a ghost.
Actually, it's not easy.
Let's not talk about this, let's talk about our book.
When this book was published, the results were very good, so good that I couldn't calm myself down to write.
That day, I specially took a day off to stay at home, and in the end, I wrote more than 2,000 words. Then, I posted an apology on the first day it was published.
I was worried that it would affect the results, and I was prepared to be scolded.
But what I didn't expect was that the apology, a short page, had 680 comments, and all of them were encouraging me.
At that moment, I felt really warm.
I apologized on the first day it was published, and I didn't know much about the monthly votes, so I didn't deliberately ask for one.
I didn't hear that the Rookie King was related to the monthly votes until the end of October.
In November, I anxiously started asking for the monthly votes. I was flustered, and I felt like I didn't do anything right. The gap was really too big.
On November 16th, I made up my mind to resign and fight for the Best Newcomer. At that time, someone else was ahead of us by more than 30,000 votes.
Some people in the chapter thought that I was dreaming, just like when I was preparing to write about paranormal activities at Qidian, ten out of ten people thought that I was dreaming.
By the first of December, we were five thousand votes ahead.
Yesterday, when You Meng and Huan Yu were doing their best, someone added me in a group chat and scolded me for being shameless, saying that I should fight for the Rookie King based on my results.
I had been blacklisted, so I could only tell him here. In terms of results, Haunted House's average subscriptions were more than ten thousand more than the other newcomers. It was the undisputed first place.
Since the start of the ranking competition, I've seen many comments from readers. Some of them voted for their first monthly ticket to Qidian, some of them came to support Qidian from pirated editions, and some of them saved up and gave tips.
Thank you very much.
Now, whenever I see an air-conditioned duck, I can't help but want to laugh. I'm a little moved.
I've always thought of myself as the quiet type of person who writes books. I never thought that there were so many people supporting me.
