It’s Been One Year Since the Book Was Published! Summary and Thanks

On January 19, 2022, a new Qidian writer named Yu Mu Shaosheng opened Qidian Writer Assistant and uploaded about 10,000 words of novel content.

As of January 19, 2023, it has been one year since the release of this book! ! ! !

On the occasion of the Spring Festival and the first anniversary of this book, you must be curious to know the details of the author's creation, so I will share with you the preparations I did before writing this book...

The answer is no preparation at all.

I also know that everyone must want to know how the idea of ​​​​this book was constructed in the early stages of creation?

The answer is no idea at all.

I just want to try Qidian’s Writer Assistant to see if it works! ! ! !

Why have you already written nearly 4 million words? ! ! ! ! ! !

What am I doing now? ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I don’t know if you have heard of a famous theory called – “throw your hat over the wall first”.

That is to say, if you feel that you are not determined to do something, then throw your hat to the other side of the wall first. Then there will be sunk costs, and you will have to climb over the wall to pick up the hat.

The author threw his hat across the Himalayas.

When I started the book, I was full of ideas. I finished writing 10,000 words in three hours, and I was really happy. A year later, I was scratching my head and scratching my head in order to fill in the gaps. I couldn't finish 2,000 words in four hours, and I was really embarrassed.

Digging a hole is fun for a while, filling it for the crematorium! ! ! !

Every day at two o'clock in the middle of the night, when I wake up from my dreams at midnight, I have to ask myself, who gave me the courage to write a novel instead of writing an outline? ? ! !

I think you may have never seen any starting point writer express regret in the anniversary summary of his first book.

Why did you add so many settings in the first place? ! ! ! ! why why why why why why? ! ! !

In order to provide a reasonable origin explanation for the setting that I randomly added in my head at that time, I have almost read through books on psychology and behavior, especially on behavioral motivation! ! ! !

Why should I write a system? ! ! !

Why do I need to add an umbrella setting? ! ! ! ! ! !

Why should I write about autism spectrum disorder? ! ! ! ! ! !

Why is it more difficult to write an American comic book fan than to write an essay? ! ! !

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! ! !

Okay, thank you for listening to my rant, let’s get down to business.

First of all, the author's own evaluation of this book is that it is okay overall, but there are also many dissatisfactions.

80% of these dissatisfaction points come from the fact that I didn't think about it at the time, so I uploaded the text without writing an outline.

So why didn’t I write an outline at that time? ! ! ! ! !

Due to the structure and setting problems in the early stage of the article, too much writing and ink was spent later to fill in the loopholes. This also made it impossible to realize the relatively sophisticated and fast-paced unit short drama that I originally envisioned.

If I want to write a unit short play, I need to strengthen the details, weaken the main line, and enhance the sense of immersion in each short story. However, because many of the previous settings were added casually when I was writing the text, I had to spend a lot of time. Time to explain what is going on.

When this part is reached, the author feels like he is in jail. On the one hand, he is anxious and anxious, and on the other hand, he is full of regret for his youth and frivolity.

Because the pressure to fill in the pits is really great, the author thinks too much when developing certain plots and cannot create freely.

And because the author's emotional stress will be reflected in the text, the content level of this part is not satisfactory, and these authors know it.

Many readers will find that their long suggestions have been deleted. Some of them may have been swallowed by Qidian, or they may have been deleted by assistants, but many of them were deleted by the author himself.

Or there are a lot of reviews, but they are not negative reviews. They just state a fact, such as a certain part of the plot is written like shit.

When the author saw this review, he didn't feel angry, but just had a very ridiculous feeling, as if someone finally recognized the goods.

So why would I delete these reviews?

This returns to the first question, why should I open a book?

I just wanted to try to see if the Qidian Writer Assistant client is easy to use.

The answer is that it’s really not easy to use! ! ! !

When I reply to these comments in the backend of Writer Assistant, the person who replied to the comment cannot see the reply reminder, and the same goes for the likes I clicked.

Unless I open the reading client of Qidian, find your comment in the vast sea of ​​articles, and then reply, you can see the reminder.

The problem is that some of the chapters where some of the comments appear were from a long time ago. When I looked at the sentence you commented on, I didn’t even know where it appeared.

However, you have worked so hard to write such a long article and your opinions are very pertinent. I don’t want to give you feedback because I always feel guilty.

So, my little brain had an idea. As long as I delete the comment, you can see the prompt that your comment has been deleted. This means that you will know that I have read your comment.

Am I a genius?

Well, actually, it was because there were some big pitfalls before, which made the author feel very desperate. In the middle of writing this book, the author's anxiety disorder reached the point where he needed to use medication.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading!

During that period, my mental state was not very normal. I felt that all the comments with more than three lines were scolding me, so I deleted them all. For a while, I even scanned all the comments indiscriminately and squatted in the author's background to mechanically delete comments for three hours.

I think the probability of accidentally hurting good reviews is 50-50. If you find that your long comments have been deleted, it may be the product of the author going crazy in the middle of the night without taking medicine.

I was wrong. I will take medicine well in the future. I am very sorry to the readers whose comments were deleted or hurt by mistake. The author will try to reduce the number of crazy times in the future.

Of course, some of the comments you write that are too long may be swallowed by Qidian. That is not something the author can control. If you really think that your suggestions are very pertinent and useful to the author, you can join the group and then knock on the small window to contact me.

On the Internet, the evaluation of this book is generally mixed.

But there is a very interesting phenomenon. Half of the readers said that the first 30 chapters I wrote were like a pile of dog shit, while the other half said that after 30 chapters, I wrote like a pile of dog shit.

This is not a simple product of the binary nature of the Internet, but represents two groups of readers.

Although the first part has no outline and the overall plot is relatively thin, it follows the route of traditional linear online literature and does not have much room for literary expression, but the pace is fast and refreshing, which is more suitable for readers who are accustomed to fast-paced reading.

In the second half, when the author began to reorganize the plot and turned to the unit drama writing style, this type of reader may feel that the rhythm has become sluggish and mixed with too many meaningless descriptions and lyrics that are not related to the advancement of the plot.

Readers who like to read the second half may appreciate the author's writing skills and writing style. At the same time, they are more receptive to the unit drama narrative, so they feel that the protagonist frequently switches the world in the first half and is a little thin as a tool for promoting the plot without emotions.

As for which type the author prefers, each type actually has its own pros and cons. If the whole book is developed in the first 30 chapters, the author will be very comfortable.

As someone who used to be familiar with some cool writing websites, I don’t need to think about writing a cool article with a single narrative, a fast pace, and a lot of cool points.

Those methods of constructing cool points are like engraved in my genes. I once took this knife and dominated some websites, breaking through the siege and achieving good results.

If the second method is adopted, the time and energy required are completely different. The author’s outline and detailed outline are mostly the main plot and character settings.

All the call backs, foreshadowing, and foreshadowing you see in the text, the use of certain repeated sentences, the repeated reactions of certain characters, and the progressive reactions are all remembered in the author’s mind.

On the one hand, my brain has to bear very trivial record work, and on the other hand, it has to bear a lot of emotional pressure to improve the plot. Although the author has not left the house for the past year, his life has been full of ups and downs.

In some previous plots, the author said that he drank alcohol, and he really drank alcohol.

And the degree of drinking may be more serious than you think, especially in the part about Gotham, in many cases, it is in the prelude of unconsciousness.

Many people may think that the transformation process of Batman in this book is very interesting, because it is actually the author's recovery process.

Most of the paranoia, stubbornness, and confusion in the first half were caused by the paralysis of alcohol, while the rationality, persistence, and sudden enlightenment in the later period were mostly written under the influence of sufficient drugs.

For a long time, I didn't know what I was doing.

Some people may think that I was forced by life to make money, but it is not true.

My family situation is OK. I don't have any family pressure, no brothers or sisters, no complicated interpersonal relationships. The money I earned from work and writing novels before is enough for me to live a very chic life in a city with prices comparable to those in first-tier cities.

So, what am I doing? Why do I make myself so miserable? Why do I choose the most thankless path between simplicity and difficulty?

I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I got up and thought about it carefully and found that the words were densely packed with two words-"passion".

You may feel a little corny, but in fact, all authors of novels, when they are writing, if they are not supported by passion and creative passion, the money they earn is not enough to buy medicine.

The premise is to create seriously, not to write shit like I used to.

In fact, I have also analyzed it seriously. The source of most of my anxiety is that I know that this is a book that is destined to be imperfect, just like Schiller, the protagonist of this book, was born with an almost incurable mental illness.

However, a very important manifestation of anxiety is perfectionism, as the saying goes, obsessive-compulsive disorder.

For a while, I sat at the table and looked at the wine bottle on the table, as if there was another me sitting opposite.

That me was incomplete, and no matter what method I used, it would never be perfect again, just like this novel, and also like the life experience of many people.

She kept telling me that if I continued, it would only add to the suffering of everyone, just like those patients who were born with mental illness but came into this world.

Others were reluctant to let him die, but he couldn't live well.

There will be a voice in your heart urging you to make a decision that should have been extreme, but she told you that it was a decisive and judgmental decision.

So why didn't I make this decision at that time?

Because I thought about it over and over again, but I still felt reluctant.

Maybe many people know that my practice work on a certain website is no longer updated for various reasons. When I made this decision, I felt a very strong sense of guilt, not for the readers, but for the characters in the book.

I spent a lot of effort to shape them so vividly. Every action they appeared in the plot was made by them in my mind, not by me controlling them.

And once I decided not to create this book anymore, it meant that my children were dead and would never come back.

I don't want to experience this feeling again.

This is the most important reason why this book can stumble to this day, no one else.

After all, it is difficult for me to think rationally about the gains and losses when my mental state is not normal.

Only more extreme emotions can move me, including my love for every character in the book.

Recently, many people may not understand the portrayal of greed, but in fact, this is a portrayal of the author's heart.

In order to continue to shape these superheroes I love and give everyone the best ending, I have to write even if I can't write anymore, even if my mental state is uncontrollably slipping.

And to ask, how did the author recover from this disease...

Do you think I will say that it is because of you?

Well, I know that saying this will definitely trick some people into being moved. After all, the book review area of ​​this book is always haunted by some little fools who are fooled by the plot.

However, as an author dedicated to popular science psychology and psychiatry, I must tell you that the main reason for my improvement is sufficient medication, there is no other answer.

I have also seen many comments in the comment area that share their inner trauma or want to seek psychological counseling from the author.

But first of all, the author does not have a license, so it is impossible to provide you with any treatment advice. All I can do is tell you not to be afraid of seeing a doctor.

Some people think that taking medicine for mental illness is drug abuse and is outrageous, but in fact, the problems you think are only psychological and emotional have already affected the physiology. It’s just that the low mood makes you ignore this point. Seeking medical treatment and taking medicine as soon as possible will open the door to a new world for you.

Of course, we have to admit that the development of psychology in China is still not perfect. The distinction between psychologists, psychological counselors, and psychiatrists is not clear enough, which leads to many people being deceived.

The author says again that most so-called psychological counselors do not have the right to prescribe. He is not a doctor and cannot treat diseases, but he can comfort you.

Psychologists have the right to prescribe and can also be responsible for comforting you.

Psychiatrists have the right to prescribe. They may comfort you or not. Some doctors are only responsible for diagnosing mental illnesses, not for "chatting" in the traditional sense.

Therefore, don't expect a psychologist to prescribe medicine for you, and don't go to the psychiatry department and grab a doctor to comfort you.

The correct process is to find a regular hospital's psychiatry department to register and follow the process for examination and diagnosis.

If the doctor judges that you don't need medication, but you still feel uncomfortable, then go to a professional psychologist and listen to him.

If you are judged to need medication, you must follow the doctor's advice, instead of thinking that as long as you listen to the psychologist's chat, the disease will naturally disappear.

In addition, most of the reactions to mental illness described in my book come from what I have seen with my own eyes.

The purpose of writing these contents is to hope that everyone will not demonize mental illness. It is the same as ordinary diseases. It has causes, symptoms, and pathology. It can be treated and cured.

At the same time, I also hope that everyone will have enough patience for patients with mental illness, especially those with long-term or congenital diseases. These people are really suffering.

The autism spectrum that the protagonist of this book, Schiller, suffers from is a very typical mental problem with an unclear cause, and there is currently no very scientific method to completely cure it.

Of course, not being able to completely cure it does not mean that it cannot be cured in stages. If you start to conduct online screening among the people you know and the people you know, you will find that the number of children with autism spectrum is much greater than you think.

But they are just like ordinary people. Living in this society, some behaviors may cause some abnormalities.

If you notice some abnormalities in your life, or find reactions like some details described in this article, please don't make a fuss or be overly concerned. It's just an ordinary person.

Of course, I still have to thank the readers in the end. Although the drugs are the main reason for my recovery, the biggest difference between psychological and mental problems and other diseases is that they need a better recovery environment.

For a long time, the reason why I recovered quickly was that every time I opened the book review area, it was like entering a praise group. Many people praised me with a firmness that made me feel confused.

It was a bit difficult for me to do it.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the wonderful content!

I don’t know why they are so firm, why they can discover so many shining points in the works that are destined to be incomplete, and even worth them typing so many words to praise me.

This makes me feel like "Is this a normal person?".

Patients with anxiety disorders are like being in a sea of ​​nothingness all the time. On the one hand, they swim forward desperately and don’t want to drown, and on the other hand, they know that the ship will not come.

If the ocean where ordinary anxiety patients are located is a sea of ​​nothingness and confusion, then the author is lost in the ocean of praise.

You may think. At the moment the comment was sent out, the emotional value was released and disappeared into the air, but it didn't.

I can understand the psychology of everyone who posted through every sentence and every word, and feel this emotion more deeply than you.

This ability has brought disaster to me. When I have not suffered any major blows and my family is happy, I have been troubled by mental illness because of my strong empathy.

At this time, it became my boat.

If there is really a tower in my thinking space, the medicine just glued it back together, but you, all the readers of this book, all your subscriptions, comments and likes have painted its surface into the perfect look that I have always wanted but cannot get.

Although I know that nothing in this world is perfect, what people with anxiety disorders originally pursue is illusion.

And the reason why they cannot be cured is that in the cruel real society, most of the time, they can't even get illusions.

I am very lucky that all readers have woven a utopia with every action they take.

I can just click on the writer's assistant and put aside all my worries, and see many imperfect people in this world, and feel shaken by every word of the imperfect works I created.

So, on the occasion of the first anniversary, I would like to solemnly thank all the readers of this book, including those who may not have the money to read the genuine version, or those who have posted suggestions for this book on other social platforms.

Thank you, my good medicine.

In addition, I would like to emphasize my thanks to all the readers who have rewarded this book.

I really can't imagine what kind of mood you have in mind, when you have paid to subscribe to this book, but you still spend extra money to reward? ! !

Your behavior has brought me much more shock than the money you have rewarded.

Of course. Some people have really brought me a little financial shock, such as the 45 alliance leaders of this book so far.

Alliance leaders! Friends! One alliance leader is 1,000 yuan! ! !

Whenever I think of this, I feel that my current life of worry-free food and clothing may just be because I have never seen the world.

What makes me feel even more unsophisticated is the current silver ally Cratias and the silver ally Chen Yi Sain.

How can there be two silver allies in this book? ! ! !

I didn’t even write an outline when I started the book! ! ! !

… Why didn’t I write an outline when I started the book? ! !

In addition, when the first silver ally Cratias appeared, I had just finished my 20,000-day day. At that time, my mental state was not very good, so I didn’t write a single chapter or a special thank you. I’m really sorry!

And there is! ! ! Chen Yi is always the god! ! The first silver ally! ! The whole site banner! ! ! Thank you very much! ! ! !

I said before that after the silver ally appears, I will add more chapters, but after the full release, the author has to commute three hours to work every day, and I really can’t finish it.

So, you can wait for me to be free to add more chapters, or just point out the stalks, and I will write whatever you point out.

The word count is uncertain, depending on the complexity of the plot. You can write CP, but there is basically no way to have borderline content, because it will not pass the review, and the same is true for some sensitive topics.

Of course, since I am a fandom nail house, this kind of customized extra may not have much room for appreciation, but I will definitely write it seriously, and I will definitely write an outline in advance.

... So why didn't I write an outline in advance before? ! ! ! !

Well, on the occasion of the first anniversary and the Spring Festival, I wish all readers and friends a happy Year of the Rabbit!

Happy Spring Festival!

... Why didn't I write an outline in advance? ! ! ! !
