102: On the Shelf Testimonial_1 102: On the Shelf Testimonial_1 It’s time to write a book launch statement again.
Every time I write one, my feelings are different.
In the beginning, my heart was full of trepidation, worrying if the performance would be poor, worrying about this and that.
On the day after the launch, I couldn’t even sleep, just sitting dumbly in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the author’s backend, watching the numbers grow, holding a calculator to estimate my initial orders.
Later on, my mindset gradually became more peaceful, telling myself that it’s impossible for one person to be liked by everyone in the world, and the same applies to a book.
All you have to do is work hard and be true to those who like you and your book.
Today is another launch day.
Looking back, I find the years I’ve spent writing quite interesting.
Initially, I just wanted to earn some VIP manuscript fees.
Then, when I saw others publish traditional characters and turn their words into printed text, I thought, I want that too!
Later on, I achieved it, and did quite well.
Then I saw others publishing in simplified characters, and I thought, I want that too.
And I achieved that as well…
After that, authors would chat together.
Tang San once said he hoped to write a hundred million words in his lifetime.
After hearing that, I asked myself what I wanted.
This question troubled me for a long time until one day, while chatting with Sheng Ji, Shi San, and others, I finally understood.
In writing, I’m rather greedy; I want to accomplish several things.
The first thing, just like I said before, is to write those stories well for people who like me and like one of my books.
The second thing is to write a few books that allow me to boast.
I mean those kinds of books that I can hold proudly, whether I’m entering a university or a middle school, or presenting them to people in their thirties, forties, fifties, sixties…
to different classes of people, and say with utmost pride, “I wrote this.”
To write a few of those kinds, regardless of whether people like me or even like the few books I wrote, they would still say, “This book is pretty badass.”
I enjoy writing hot-blooded literature.
I used to think that only stories of battles, military themes, and the fantasy of fists and feet, the immortals and warriors, or historical wars could be hot-blooded.
It wasn’t until one day I realized that ordinary life and common people can also be very hot-blooded, that I knew my writing and my ability to discover things had improved.
Later, I wrote a published novel, “Everyone’s Life Will Ignite Once,” with 170,000 words.
When I finished writing this book, I was incredibly proud.
The life of ordinary people can be passionate and can inspire others.
Many high school students messaged me after reading this book, asking if they could do it too.
At that moment, I was incredibly happy.
This was a sublimation of my writing life.
I am very grateful for this book.
After finishing that, I had a conversation in which people said that internet authors’ sci-fi works were just puffed-up fantasy martial arts stories in a sci-fi disguise.
I wasn’t very happy when I heard this, and got into an argument.
I told them that what they wrote was merely picking up the wisdom of Western sci-fi authors, Da Liu and He Xi being the exceptions, that we internet authors could write sci-fi that fits Eastern people.
Because of that argument, I wrote another sci-fi published novel, “The Game Of Fame,” which shut that person up, and that made me quite proud. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelFirｅ.net
During these processes, I knew what I wanted to write.
I write for those who enjoy reading, using my modest abilities to vindicate internet authors, and to write a few books that let me brag to others.
These words might seem unrelated to this launch, but they kind of are connected.
For example, there are still many people in this world who think reading internet novels isn’t very nutritious, or they think that people who read internet novels aren’t high-class.
If by chance you like my book, find me somewhat interesting, and someone says your taste in reading internet novels isn’t high-class,
Slap “Everyone’s Life Will Ignite Once” right in that person’s face.
Tell them that there’s no such thing as high or low class in this world.
The author who wrote this book also writes internet novels!
And he loves them immensely.
I’ve been singing my own praises!
The time for the launch is here!
If you like “My Master Knows It All,” then please subscribe and support it.
Oh right, let me talk about the original intention of this book.
I wanted to write about friendship and family, indestructible friendship, or maybe the kind of family affection that can touch people’s hearts, to write about the author’s own values and worldview.
