Today was the last day of 2016. On this special day, I would like to summarize the details of this book over the past year.
I did not make an outline. I just wrote whatever came to mind.
First, I would like to thank my friends who have been supporting this book.
It's always the same sentence. It's your support that has allowed me to persevere until now. It's also the only motivation for me to continue writing this book.
As the first book of a new author, especially for a niche HP doujinshi with poor results, I believe everyone can understand how difficult it was to persevere for me to write so many words.
This is a summary, not a complaint, so I won't say much about it!
In fact, before I wrote this book, I didn't know much about online literature.
I still remember reading Candle Blowing Ghost on my roommate's phone in university. There was also a hard copy of Celestial Bane and a variety of ghost story magazines.
These are probably the only impression I have of online literature.
After graduation, I spent all my time on work, anime, and games. I did not even read a single novel.
The original intention of writing this book was probably in the middle of the year, when there was a gap between work and gaming. At that time, I had just finished a large inspection project. The game I had been playing was also in its final stages. Everyone was waiting for the new version, so the frequency and time I went online decreased.
While I was free, I rewatched the HP movie. After watching it, I felt like it was not enough.
Then, I found a few HP doujinshi novels online. After reading them on and off for about a week, I impulsively decided to write one. At that time, I did not plan to publish it or make money. I just wanted to write a book about the magical world of Harry Potter. The overall idea was relatively simple. In the secret room chapter, the snake monster was left behind by one of the creators, Slytherin. Could the other three creators also leave something in the castle?
Or maybe the snake monster was just a monster left behind to guard some treasure, and the real secret has not been unearthed.
Based on this simple idea, I impulsively published an article. There was no outline or anything like that. I just wanted to write a simple story that would bring the main character into the magical world of Harry Potter. It would fit perfectly into school life.
According to the original plot, the main character would experience the excitement of the Hogwarts, then defeat the Lord Voldemort and end the story.
This was probably the original intention of this book. I originally planned to write a doujinshi novel of a few hundred thousand words.
Therefore, in the early stages of this book, many people felt that a character was added to the original work. It was not too abrupt, and there was no so-called "magical changes" or web novel routines. It could be said that it was a successful embodiment of the author's ideas.
Of course, this might be a sore point for many people, and it was one of the reasons why they did not read this book.
Of course, this might be a sore point for many people, and it was also one of the reasons why they did not read this book.
This was the advantage of not having an outline. You could add things to the book at will. I don't know what kind of imagination web novels have, so I packaged a lot of game monsters and added them to the book.
Logically speaking, with such a sudden change in style, this book should have been a flop. Who would have thought that it would receive good reviews?
This was also beyond my expectations. Although the results of this book weren't ideal, the main reason it failed was because of the author's own work.
After the book hit the shelves, it stopped updating for more than two months.
The reason was that at that time, there was a large-scale inspection project that required a business trip. There was no time to care about the novel, and the relevant aspects were not handled well. As a result, the number of subscriptions for this book did not increase like other books. Instead, it shrunk to a quarter of the daily subscriptions. Many people left!
This damage had not been recovered until now, and the readers who had left would probably abandon this book forever!
This kind of fatal blow, if it was another author, they would probably just give up on this book.
"But when I first wrote this book, I did not focus on the income or the quality of the results, so I persisted on and off. "Imagine, from the beginning until now, I have probably done all the mistakes that newcomers can and can't make. So, it is not strange that the results are average.
"Even though it is not as good as others, it should be enough in terms of HP and the person itself.
Putting the results aside, I had also gained a lot from persevering for so many words.
If I were to write another doujinshi novel, I would probably rearrange the logical contradictions and plot more smoothly. I would also make corresponding changes to the main character's personality and handling of female characters, which would probably be more in line with the mainstream concepts of web novels.
"Of course, if I have the chance to write another HP doujinshi, I will probably satisfy all these regrets.
"But as everyone knows, due to the limitations of the subject matter, copyright, and audience, even if the results of this kind of niche doujinshi improve, it will not be too good.
"So, if I write another book, I will not write about doujinshi.
"This is related to my plans for 2017. Many friends in the group probably know about the author's current job. In my opinion, it is a typical job with too much work, too little money, far from home, and can't find a girlfriend.
"So, I have always wanted to resign and go home, but unfortunately, I can't find a satisfactory job.
"My parents and elders at home probably think that my job is good. It is bright, stable, and has a bright future. I am also a small leader. Even though it is a bit far away and the income is a bit less, but I am prepared to resign.
"Dragging it on like this is not a long-term plan.
To be honest, it was just an unintentional action. I was really surprised when I wrote web novels for fun. Especially after I had a deeper understanding of this field, I realized that it wasn't as simple as I thought.
"While I was surprised, it also pointed me in a new direction. Maybe I can resign and go home to write novels.
"Okay, I was also scared by this idea at first. Moreover, the income of this book is not as much as the income of my job, so my family will definitely not support it." But what if I write another book and it succeeds?!
"Uh, this is my summary of 2016 and my plans for 2017. It would be even better if I can find a girlfriend.
I've said so much, and there are a lot of shameful words that shouldn't be said, but these are my true thoughts right now. I don't know if anyone is watching, so I'll just say it to myself and send it out. I hope that next year will be better!
"Finally, I wish all the friends who have been supporting this book good health, have everything you want, and be able to change in the new year!
