Hi everyone, good evening! After confirming this afternoon, I will be putting the book up for sale tomorrow at noon.
" Douluo Continent " is a novel I read in junior high school. Reading online novels has been a part of my school life. After graduating and starting work, I turned to online games and stopped reading novels much, only occasionally catching up on popular works.
The reason I wrote this novel is that last October I accidentally saw some promotional videos for the Douluo Continent fan fiction on Douyin. It felt like I was instantly transported back to my student days, reminiscing about that youth. So I spent the whole of October frantically searching for works to read. I read many well-known works, but I still felt unsatisfied. It seemed like they didn't touch my heart, and something was missing.
Suddenly, the idea of writing my own book popped into my head, especially after remembering my dream of becoming an online novelist.
Then in December, I started researching, setting up the concept, and organizing the timeline. I submitted my first book, but no one accepted it. Looking back, I realized it was too self-indulgent and more like a pure outline.
I wrote it two or three more times, but after submitting it, I received no response.
Perhaps because I frequently search for information about online novel authors, Zhihu recommended some key points for the "golden three chapters" to me. I also remembered that I hadn't submitted my work internally yet, so I modified the opening of " Battle Through the Heavens " and submitted it to Chacha Dawang.
Then that afternoon I was notified that I had passed the test. I was so Shi Xing I had a nice meal. But when I actually started writing, I found that there were many problems, especially since it coincided with the New Year. So every day after visiting relatives and eating, I would come back and write. That's how I got through the New Year and finally got the book published.
I often only realized how new I was after hearing other authors chat in the group. For example, they talked about saving up manuscripts for a big release, and how they sometimes felt disappointed with their stats. But they persevered, determined to finish the story – that's what makes a true knight.
Thank you to all the readers who gave me thoughtful feedback.
