My final gamble failed, I couldn't make it to the Three Rivers.
After all these years, this is the first time, an unexpectedly new experience.
The rules for listing on Qidian have now changed. For new books, those that perform well in the first three rounds can make it to the Three Rivers and then get listed. Those who make it to the fourth round are already hopeless for the Three Rivers and are deemed to lack potential.
And now, I'm already in the fifth round.
I'm grateful to editor Jiang Cha for giving me two chances, but I, being slow-witted, failed to seize them.
When writing, someone in the author group said that writing is an act of obstinacy, the author must be a dictator.
A stubborn dictator of an author may not necessarily produce great success, but an author who actively listens to reader opinions, I've never heard of having a good outcome.
I heard this, but didn't quite take it all in.
The day I deliberately started a new chapter, Readership, 2018.
