A Note on Going Premium
On October 14, 2022, a week after the National Day holiday, I was honored to have finally reached this point.
So far, " From the From the Star Abyss" has reached 300,000 words, has accumulated 30,000 collections, 6,826 recommendation votes, more than 1,000 monthly votes, one alliance leader, and has also been listed on the Sanjiang website.
This book will be available for purchase starting at 12 noon today.
I will do my best to update a large number of chapters before midnight after the book is released.
Starting tomorrow, I plan to challenge myself to write over 10,000 words a day for a month and try to get that badge achievement.
The above is the plan for the next step.
Next, let me briefly share my feelings about this book being published.
The success of this book today is the result of the help of many people.
After all, if I had to write all by myself, I probably would have drowned in the abyss of failure long ago.
First and foremost, I would like to express my special thanks to editor Jia Nan. Canaan is truly a dedicated and responsible editor. He pointed out many problems in the early stages of "Star Abyss". Compared to the previous book "Eternal Speaker" (originally titled "I Have a Stitching Monster"), this book has made great strides in both pacing and emotional conflict.
The most obvious example is that the prologue that everyone sees was actually created after Nan Ge's suggestion. It is precisely because of this prologue that the previous characters of Li Aoz and the appearance of the Spirit Wraith are connected in terms of plot and emotion, and everyone can truly feel, "Ah, Frostplate is so bad, let's just blow it up."
Not only that, when Star Abyss was about to miss out on the Sanjiang Award, it was Nan Ge who kept encouraging me and helped me to contact various big shots and get a recommendation for Unscientific Beast Taming. He also introduced me to Gong Cangshu (author of Heroes of Might and Magic: Hidden Building Master) and Mo Shouyugui (author of Extraordinary Bloodline Integrator).
Of course, there is another very important point that greatly influenced the style of this book—that is, Amway that I read "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners," which greatly impressed me and made it much clearer when I was creating Frostplate and other characters.
Such a responsible editor—I feel there's no better way to describe him than with the phrase, "He really made me cry." Thank you, Brother Nan.
Secondly, I would like to thank all the readers for their comments and suggestions.
My guild leader Dian Dao Liuli Nan Wangxin (He really did give me two guild leader titles, and each time he pulled me back at just the right moment). Strategic friendly cooperative alliance with the author of "Old Musician," Dan Xiao Cheng (Do you even understand the value of the first donation to this book?).
The operations officer What a Rich Imagination (although he's prone to accidentally banning people, he's at least very dedicated and has consistently provided fan fiction; readers who were mistakenly banned can go find him, he's merciless).
And also the wisdom teeth of the other members in the group. (Although I mostly lurk in the group.) I wouldn't have been able to get this far without your help.
To be honest, the reason this book has garnered so many enthusiastic comments is largely due to its reliance on various online platforms, including From the Abyss in Abyss, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Apex Legends, Gundam, Tieba users, abstract memes, zoos, and Ding Zhen. To be frank, we Apex Legends players are generally quite abstract, and our online presence is extremely complex.
For example, I'm an internet native who's been surfing the web for over ten years. My knowledge ranges from Shenyang Street to Žižek, from P Society criminals to the Guardian, from original farmers' porridge to Azur Lane's money-burning VTB, from social media to extreme overpowered spears, and things like the Fifth Republic, Mandela the Imitation Human, the back room, the ruined library... I wouldn't say I understand everything, but I do know quite a bit about it.
Furthermore, "Super God Mechanic" pioneered a new approach to writing. I really enjoy Pi Pi Jia's works, especially his imaginative ideas after entering space and his complex and colorful Worldview, which broadened my horizons. I don't shy away from admitting that this book has had a significant influence; I've borrowed and learned a lot from Pi Pi Jia. There's nothing shameful about it; on the contrary, we should be proud to learn from advanced experiences.
The reason why AI drawing has become so popular recently is because if you give AI good things, it will really learn.
In my opinion, it's the same, but human learning shouldn't be about 'copying and pasting,' but rather about gaining inspiration from learning and developing one's own style.
I can't possibly become the next "Super God Mechanic," nor will I necessarily become the next "Star Abyss Walker," "Mysterious Star Abyss," "Star Abyss Sword," "Starting from Frostplate," "Abyss God," "Tomorrow Star Abyss," "Azure Abyss," "Unscheduled Abyss"...
I simply combined what I knew with what I wanted to write, and then I gained the appreciation of readers who were interested in these elements and plots.
Everyone is complex, and readers themselves may not know what kind of plot they will like tomorrow. Until a month ago, AI was still considered unable to make an impact on humanity in the field of art.
Perhaps, in five or six years, Deep Scarlet will be replaced by an AI that "deeply learns Scarlet's writing style and plot templates".
The fact that everyone in the comments section was saying "I feel like a Technician Han" in the early stages proves that I've been doing a good job of learning by trial and error, but even so, I still feel a lot of urgency.
In order to avoid losing my job to robots in the future, I think I should keep learning and keep improving.
By the way, I would like to reiterate here: " From the From the Star Abyss" is known as the embryonic stage of "Super God Mechanic", and Li Aoz is known as the Little Different God.
See you next.
