Hi hi!
I just saw this: a New Year's event where book lovers can collect Dragon Balls, and collecting 7 balls will allow them to share a million-dollar cash prize plus unlimited access to 2024 books.
I quickly posted a message saying that if other readers can get it, we readers should too.
The year is drawing to a close, and the new year is about to begin.
According to the format requirements,
Let's first review my creative experience in 2023:
Around mid-October, I temporarily shelved the outline I originally wanted to write for the original film, because I enjoy watching horror movies and the feeling of being emotionally stimulated.
I particularly liked the indifference of the Cenobites —it wasn't hatred or enjoyment, but rather a style of behavior that seemed like a way to soothe boredom.
Then I searched the entire internet and found that some people mentioned the < Hellraiser > dungeon, but most of the time they either only tried it briefly or downplayed it and easily got through it without writing anything more about it.
Then I wanted to write it myself, to show that world, both for myself and to share with my fellow book lovers.
This is how this work came about.
As for the most memorable time I urged someone to update:
Well, to be honest, I remember them all. Although I don't talk much, I read almost all the comments and posts, including monthly ticket posts and chapter replies. There were some I didn't reply to because I didn't know how to explain it, but I silently remembered all the suggestions from fellow readers.
Actually, I've already memorized the names that frequently appear in recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and chapter comments. Many of them are readers who have been with me since before the book was even released.
Many of them, I've long considered as friends I've never met.
Share the Otherworld your mind with unknown friends, and lead everyone into this world to appreciate it.
This is a very romantic event for me.
Regardless of the book's sales performance, the level of interaction among readers is at least very high, basically on par with top-quality books. (Data image)
The presence of comments means that someone has entered and read this world.
Perhaps, to this world, we are the true observers, like high-dimensional beings standing deep within the universe.
So I usually check the paragraph and chapter comments after publishing a chapter every day.
See if any visitors have left any traces.
Several times before, including today, I've seen friends asking to create a group chat.
To be honest, I had thought about creating a book club group, and the group was even set up at the end of November. However, I didn't know how many people would be willing to join, so I didn't create it. If 40 people support this chapter and are willing to join, I will create one!
Otherwise, it would be quite awkward if a group couldn't get at least ten people together.
In addition, many readers have recently felt that the protagonist's abilities are somewhat inconsistent. Actually, as mentioned before, my original intention in writing the book was to set the protagonist's several stages of rapid growth in the world of Hellraiser.
The Cenobites are really powerful, so I only managed to acquire some abilities to resist them.
As for Pennywise, many posts say it's boring. Actually, for the first three chapters, I even considered writing it in the style of a published novel, but then I found that people weren't interested in that style, so I went back to my previous writing style.
Also, the ending of the Pennywise will definitely be unexpected, including the recent chapters. It actually feels like the plot twist in Tomie, but I'm just too slow at typing.
With only 4,000 words updated per day, it takes nearly 40 minutes just to revise and check for typos on those 4,000 words.
I feel really bad for the readers who follow the updates every day.
But that's not true, I won't explode.
If I were the reincarnation of a tentacle monster, I could easily earn 10,000 a day and finish quickly; the plot probably wouldn't seem so tedious.
I'm helpless too. My typing speed is what it is. Some people are just born with tentacle-like hands. Is there any fellow reader who can lend me one of their hands?
That's all for now regarding the book's content.
Finally, I wish all readers (whether you've read this chapter or not) a Happy New Year.
May everyone have a prosperous and lucky Year of the Dragon!
