I'm sure you've all seen what the title says. This is my first time publishing a book on Q Reading.
You could say I'm a complete beginner as an author. Getting this much attention with my first book already puts me ahead of a lot of other writers.
But the problems are obvious, too. I didn't have enough experience with my first book, and one issue after another kept cropping up. During the trial period, the number of readers following each update never dropped—in fact, it kept rising. But after the book went on sale, that number plunged.
The book's popularity only held for a few days before it started to fall, and my spirits took a hit. You've probably noticed that my updates have been irregular lately.
I'm only making seventy or eighty yuan a day, which isn't nearly enough for a university student studying in a major city like Shanghai.
My living expenses and current writing income are enough to get by, but I still want to work hard and ease the burden on my family—tuition, accommodation, books, and all the other odds and ends.
After all, I'm an adult. I can't rely on my family forever. I need to learn to support myself early so I can make a steady start in society.
This book is still my first, so I'd feel pretty bad if I left it unfinished and ended it like this. I'll update whenever I can, but I'll at least see it through to the end.
