Today, QQ Reading and Qidian released the All-Star Author List. Seeing my name appear on it, and then looking at my author homepage with the tag of "Guru", I felt inexplicably emotional.
I, have become a guru author!
Maybe you don't know what the official title of "guru" means, but for many of us authors, this title is like a crown!
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
The weight of this thing was beyond imagination.
Let's not talk about the previous books. From the first book under the pen name of "Taishang Commoner Clothes", "Punishing Sword of Heaven", I had already made up my mind to become a professional author!
But at that time, I was still young and ignorant. I had the heart to become a god, but I didn't know how far away I was from the altar.
Later on, "Sword Executioner Heaven Dao" came to an end, and the results were terrible. But these two million words were still a small gain for me. At the very least, it made me realize how difficult it was to chase after gods!
At that time, I strongly denied myself, and questioned whether I was really not suitable to write novels!
After all, when I was in school, I had never passed an essay. I didn't even know how to read and understand the comprehension questions in the language exam. I couldn't even understand ancient poetry!
Of course, it wasn't that I was stupid. A person as handsome as me couldn't be stupid. When I was in school, I always got high marks in math, but I was very slow when it came to words. Now that I think about it carefully, I might be a slow person in many aspects. There were many things that I understood later than my peers.
After "Punishing Sword of Heaven" ended, I rested for a while and began to read novels. I kept reading, kept thinking, and wanted to settle down.
Then, on a whim, I had a flash of inspiration, and wrote the second book "Transformed Spiderman"!
According to the normal development of a novel, I should have risen after settling down and studying for a while, but unfortunately, I didn't.
My settling down and studying might still be a joke. To be honest, I'm still very ignorant about novels. Many points of knowledge are still vague concepts to me, and I don't know how to present them.
So when I wrote "Spider-man", I relied purely on my imagination, combined with some old plots of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, and wrote this book while wearing Spider-man's skin.
The consequences were also very obvious. When he reached a million words, he could no longer write anymore. Apart from bottlenecks, there were more bottlenecks. He even lost his direction and did not know where to continue writing. He had lost the main plot.
I was even more confused. Should I find a job and work hard, or should I continue?
It was a risky choice because it determined the course of my life.
But in the end, I still chose to continue. I felt that if I didn't try again, I would be very unwilling. I might regret it in the future, so I had to try again.
Thus, I used a few months' time to continue reading, continue learning, and watch all kinds of movies. Finally, I started writing "The Strongest Face Slapping System", which is now "The Strongest Counter Trap System"!
Actually, at that time, I had already used all my effort and a serious attitude to write this book with a "broken jar" style.
So I used the style of a refreshing novel and wrote the beginning. But maybe I was affected by the idea of "broken jar". In the early stage of my cliché plot, there was still a bit of a funny nature, and the style of writing was more or less affected.
In reality, I wasn't humorous. In fact, most of the time, I would feel very depressed. So, I hoped to find this kind of funny state in my writing. Even if it was just for my own amusement, I felt quite happy. Sometimes, I would unconsciously laugh while writing.
So, in the beginning of the book "The Strongest Counter Trap System", the plot was very cliché and a bit funny. But later on, I realized that more and more friends came to read it because I didn't care about being funny.
After all, before this, I thought that no one would like the funny style of writing and small plots that I used to entertain myself. In fact, many people thought it was very embarrassing.
But I didn't expect that there were so many like-minded friends who liked to read these funny plots and writing styles.
So, in the fiftieth or sixtieth chapter, you will more or less notice that the plot began to change. The nature of the jokes became more and more funny, and I also started to talk nonsense.
At that time, I wrote the most freely and happily. Many people also told me that the plot in the early stage was the most interesting and funny.
So I wrote all the way, and I kept writing in that way.
Later, "The Strongest Counter Trap System" was put on the PK platform. We sang all the way and won the weekly new book ranking. Our Exploding Heavens Faction became stronger and stronger. In the end, when it was put on the shelves, we achieved a result that I had never dreamed of.
What did I experience at that time? From not having any hope to having high expectations, from having high expectations to being pleasantly surprised. I never imagined that I could achieve such results!
Even with the encouragement and cultivation of the editor and chief editor, our book also received many recommendations.
But the drawbacks of my strength still appeared. After all, my foundation wasn't solid enough. I started to hit a bottleneck again, and I encountered the laziness and procrastination that many authors have. At that time, my updates became very bad, and it was far inferior to the various bursts of new books.
Even with all the recommendations, the results we achieved were not bad, but it exhausted all the advantages of the book at the beginning.
Many author friends also told me that I actually had many opportunities to become a god, but they were all wasted by my updates.
I know, and I am very clear!
But … there's nothing I can do, because I'm really too weak. The longer I write, the more I learn, and the more I realize that there are more things I don't understand. So I really admire the countless gods on the altar. Their strength is really terrifying!
So, I always thought that I wasn't qualified to get the contract of the gods. I didn't dare to imagine touching the altar, and I didn't dare to look forward to it!
Later, there was a period of two months when I tried to use my outburst to exchange for the monthly votes. But I underestimated your fighting strength. We fought our way to the top 20 of the monthly votes, but in the end, I still lacked updates.
But at that time, I actually regained my confidence.
The top 20 of the monthly votes, that was such a high ranking!
Of course, I might not be able to go up there now. After all … my lack of updates had hurt many people's hearts!
There was a period of time when I really felt that I was just so-so. Faced with a lot of abuse in the book review section, I broke down many times. Every time, I wanted to say, "Why can't you all think for me? Why can't you all understand how difficult it is to write a novel?
But in the end, I realized that I actually didn't think for you all.
I used to be a reader, and I am still one now. Every time I see an author procrastinating, especially when it comes to many key plots, I also want the author to hurry up and update.
So, at that moment, I felt lucky and happy. I told myself that this was also a kind of achievement. At least the premise that you all scolded me for being slow and procrastinating was that you were attracted by the plot, so you were so anxious to start scolding me.
I'm sorry, for all this time, I have failed to live up to your expectations and trust in me.
I have forgotten how many times I have been procrastinating, and this debt may never be settled. So, in this life, I want to continue to be entangled with you all, always owing you all, always with the mentality of owing you all, always working hard to write more exciting plots, to repay you all!
Thank you all for never leaving me, and thank you all for supporting me and leaving me in the end. Without you all, I wouldn't have been able to get this Great God's Appointment, which I didn't even dare to think about before. As for everyone in the Exploding Heavens Faction, I am really grateful!
Finally, I have to thank the chief editor, An Yi, for giving me this opportunity to apply for the Great God's Appointment, and thank the chief editor and the editors for their care and encouragement!
For such a long time, my terrible updates have caused the results of this book to continuously decline, and its ranking on many lists has been slowly dropping!
Even though we have adapted the comic and sold the copyright, in the circle of novels, this is nothing!
Many people think that our book is no longer good, and so is our Exploding Heavens Faction.
But only I know that every time I update a little more, it is enough for us to fight our way back to the top of the list!
I have always understood that as long as we work hard and update a little more, we can return to the top!
Back then, our Exploding Heavens Faction was a ferocious tiger, and now we are not old, nor are we sick cats!
We, we, just took a nap!
Now, we are going to wake up!
The best-selling list! The monthly tickets list! It used to be our Exploding Heavens Faction's territory, and in the next six months, I want to work hard!
I want to work hard, and use updates to exchange for your trust!
I want to work hard, and use updates to fight back the lost territory!
So, the Exploding Heavens Faction has millions of sovereigns!
