A Word Before Going Premium
PS: (This was written in advance, taking two hours on the afternoon of September 2nd.)
.
Let me start by talking about this book.
1. Cthulhu and the Ferryman will die, and their deaths will not be easy or simple.
2. With the label of "harem reverse romance", then the harem members who are supposed to be pushed will definitely be pushed, but the plot of pushing the harem will still be a long way off.
3. Since it's an infinite flow game, the focus must be on the Death Game, that is, the design of the dungeons.
If a story can be completed in 20 or 30 chapters, then Jiaqi believes that the design of the Game's instances is probably a failure and there's not much to see.
The first Game was short and quick because it was a beginner Game with little screen time for the main character and not much to see, so I couldn't write much about it.
4. The female protagonists in this book are not the kind who are given away for free. I really can't imagine how a female Player who is particularly good in Death Game could fall in love with the male protagonist at first sight and give herself away for free just because she was assigned to be the male protagonist's girlfriend by the system.
I can imagine that I would feel more disgust than anything else, at least most girlfriends would.
In addition, I personally think that Qin Muse, the girlfriend in the first game, is not very likable. I haven't finished writing about the second Game yet, so I won't talk about it for now.
However, if a female character makes people feel particularly disgusted, then that character is definitely not the female lead.
What the author wants to do is to use various events in the subsequent reality and Death Game to gradually deepen the feelings and bonds between the female protagonists and the male protagonist, and finally make them a real couple. When the feelings develop to a certain point, the story will naturally progress!
During this period, as the female leads' feelings for the male leads deepen, they also demonstrate their goodness and their own charm!
Well, the author is a bit greedy; they want to capture the feeling of real love.
There are too many mindless, free-to-read books, but this one by the author is not one of them.
I don't know if I can make most readers fall in love with the female protagonists I create, but I will do my best!
5. The book's development: in the early stages, it features duo queue Death Game; later, it begins with the protagonist playing team battles with his girlfriends.
Jiaqi doesn't have the habit of constantly revealing settings at the beginning of her books. The worldview, various forces, and even the nature of the Death Game, as well as other Unknown entities, will be gradually revealed as the story unfolds.
6. The second Game will be finished this week, and the girlfriend's true character in Volume 2 will probably be updated next Monday.
7. It will be available for purchase at midnight tonight, with 15 chapters and 36,000 words. Starting in September, it will be updated 3-4 times a week, and the chapter length will also increase. Try to write more than 3,000 words if you can.
Jiaqi wants monthly votes simply because seeing an increase in monthly votes would make her believe that there are many readers who love and support this book, which is one of Jiaqi's motivations for writing.
I'm not asking for any tips, and I can't afford to add more chapters for Jiaqi. To be honest, I feel guilty about it.
Thank you to the readers who have tipped this book.
8. This book doesn't have a mystery label, but mystery will Pierce the entire book.
The author believes that books that can be labeled as "mystery" must be books with particularly strong reasoning, which are relatively hardcore. The author did not dare to use the label, so the chosen label is "mind-blowing".
9. Because this book has some elements of suspense and mystery, spoiling the plot is like watching Conan and then being labeled as the murderer right after you start reading. So, guessing is very welcome. However, once you've read the later parts of the story, please don't spoil it in the comments or bullet screen. It greatly affects the reading experience for new readers. If anyone intentionally spoils the plot, Jiaqi will delete it. Please understand.
10. This book will be completed; it will not be abandoned.
There are already two completed works to guarantee this.

Let's talk about the author's novel writing.
First of all, Jiaqi is a full-time author, so updates are guaranteed, please rest assured.
Jiaqi writes novels simply because of her love for them.
The earliest time should be around 2016, right?
At one point, I wrote a novel of 30,000 words and another of 150,000 words.
Haha, but it was really badly written, and I didn't even get a contract. Because of life issues, my mom was urging me to go to work.
After living independently, I saved some money. Around April 2019, because I had been reading novels on Pineapple Bun, I finally saved enough money to quit my job and take the first step in writing a novel.
The contract was successfully signed, and the product is now available.
However, due to a lack of experience and some pitfalls in the early stages of the story, the results were very poor, with an income of only about 10 yuan per day.
Although Jiaqi lives in a third-tier city, rent and food expenses are constantly eroding Jiaqi savings.
Finally, forced by the necessities of life, I went back to work.
Haha... To be honest, I was a bit immature and extreme back then.
Jiaqi was not in good health, but at the time she held the idea that "even if I die, I want to finish writing a book and give the characters I created an ending."
I work during the day, and if I still have a little energy at night, I bury myself in writing novels.
Yes, I don't make any money from it; it's purely out of love for it. And because it's so tiring, my health is getting worse and worse.
After a year and a half of ups and downs, and 1.13 million words, I've finally finished writing my first book.
After finishing her first book, Jiaqi did not intend to give up. Instead, she quit her job and began writing her second book in November 2020.
The second book didn't do very well when it was released, but at least it covered the cost of rent. If you were frugal, it would be enough for food, and you could break even.
As I continued writing, my grades actually improved significantly.
As a result, Jiaqi's second book, with an average of 200,000 words updated per month, made it onto Pineapple Bun's list of most frequently updated books from January to May this year.
During this period, I underwent a minor surgery due to health issues. It took about eight days, and I had to travel to the hospital, a 30-minute taxi ride each way, and receive IV fluids twice a day, morning and evening. I didn't miss a single update. (The hospital is only about 8 kilometers away, but there's a lot of traffic in the city.)
Just wanted to complain. The penicillin the doctor prescribed came in a tiny bottle, and the infusion only took about 10 minutes, but all that time was wasted on the way there. It was quite an ordeal. The clinics near my Residential Compound don't dare to administer penicillin.
Haha, throughout 2021 until now, Jiaqi has called her friends many times to say that she wants to have a meal and get together when she has time.
But I really haven't gone out even once; I'm basically in a zero-social state.
It wasn't until July that the main story of the old book was completed, and I began writing side stories for my old readers. At the same time, I also picked up my pen and started writing this book.
The second book, 1.47 million words, took 8 months to complete. The main text is finished, but there's still one extra chapter to go. Once this book is more stable, I'll continue writing that extra chapter slowly.
Compared to the previous two books, this book was extremely difficult to write, and the creative process was very challenging.
Every Death Game means racking your brains to design interesting and engaging Death Game, also known as dungeons.
Then, you need to create several or even dozens of new characters, either Player or NPCs.
Before you start writing, you should write out all the events, Conflict, highlights, foreshadowing, and details that occur for all the characters from Game beginning to the end of the Game —that is, the process and detailed outline.
When writing the Werewolf, Jiaqi finished it in two nights. At that time, she was completely dumbfounded and felt like she was standing there dumbfounded.
But when designing the third Game recently, Jiaqi realized that the second Game was probably a piece of cake.
The word count of the various text descriptions alone is more than that of the first Game.
Of course, the story won't be particularly complicated when written, and it will be easy to read—I can guarantee that.
There are so many documents now, but usually after they are written, several more detailed outlines will emerge.
Because of the difficulty, I cannot guarantee three updates a day for this book, but Jiaqi can guarantee two updates. If there are special circumstances that prevent me from updating two times, I will ask for leave in advance.
I remember seeing Bi Yiyi say something like this: as a full-time author, every reader is like my bread and butter.
I've forgotten the exact words, but that's roughly the gist of it.
Jiaqi was particularly moved at the time.
If Jiaqi can continue writing novels and creating one interesting story after another, it must be inseparable from everyone's support.
Therefore, I am very grateful and thankful to every reader who supports Jiaqi.
Jiaqi will not deliberately pad the word count; she will write each book and each story carefully.
The goal is to create stories that most readers, those who have read this far, will enjoy.
As for the readership, the first book actually did have one.
However, because Conflict occasionally occurred among the group members, Jiaqi was soft-hearted and couldn't help but try to mediate. In the end, she not only failed to persuade the arguing people, but also lost her mood for writing. So she simply stopped creating groups after that.
Haha, chatting in groups will only slow down the author's writing speed.
Of course, Jiaqi, who stays at home all day writing, has all her mind on books, so I don't know what there is to talk about.
If the book gets popular, and there are many readers, Jiaqi will consider creating a blackout group when the story progresses to include scenes of pushing people.
I'll write a detailed, engaging guide for everyone.
I've written so much, it's almost the length of a chapter.
Jiaqi stopped arguing.
Jiaqi is a full-time author who relies on subscriptions to make a basic living. If the sales are poor, then it's because there's something wrong with the story Jiaqi wrote, and the readers can't be blamed.
Even if Jiaqi keeps going to work, she will still finish writing this book!
The two cases of Red Bull have arrived. In September, Jiaqi will work like crazy for a month.
I hope this book can accompany everyone for a long time!
Wishing you a bright future! (literal meaning)
This is for everyone, and also for Jiaqi herself!
