Before I knew it, Super Striker had been out for a month.
Looking back now, I realized that I had made several serious mistakes.
First, I hadn't communicated properly with my editor before publishing. I had posted the book on a whim on July 7, while many Esports Gods had also released their books around the same time. That led to us fighting among ourselves, and the result was a grueling month-long battle. My results were at the bottom. Sob...
Second, I updated too quickly.
Everyone must want to throw bricks at me after seeing that, but please hold your fire and hear me out.
The reason I said my updates were too fast, even though everyone felt that I updated slowly, was largely due to the word count of each chapter.
I'm sure careful readers have noticed that each of my chapters is over three thousand words. With two updates a day, that meant six or seven thousand words daily, adding up to two hundred thousand words in a month.
If I had split those three-thousand-word chapters into separate two-thousand-word chapters, I could have posted three chapters a day. Although the total word count wouldn't have changed, wouldn't it have looked much more diligent?
It wasn't that I hadn't realized this problem. When I first started publishing, Xiang Xie Bu Xiang Shuo had already reminded me that updating too quickly could affect my results. But after thinking it over for a long time, I still decided to continue as before, because I knew that splitting the chapters would definitely lower everyone's reading experience. That was something I didn't want to happen.
By not splitting the chapters while maintaining two updates a day, the result was that I updated two hundred thousand words in a month.
