Chapter 1558: From 60 subscriptions to 10,000 subscriptions, those who are innocent cannot prove their innocence_3
It feels like a firecracker, exploding at everyone it sees, and apologizing after the explosion.
But if things stopped there, it seems like there wouldn’t be a problem for us.
In response to a question a year later, I seriously wrote an article emphasizing, “I can’t evaluate my work; perhaps, we should look at it again in ten years.” and “I don’t want to take anyone down; I just want to write my story well.”
I truly do not want to waste my precious ti in endless quarrels.
…
The problem arose in February.
Readers who followed along know that on February 1st, in Chapter 233 “How Can Holding Jade Be Without Sin” of “The Difficult Road to Walk” volu, I said I wanted to climb the ranks.
I said I wanted to get a big recomndation.
I said I had been writing for over a year, with 2.3 million words, and only one free period. My average subscription was only 1,700, hovering around 200th place in the monthly ticket rankings. I had reached a point where it felt unsustainable.
I said I was confident my work was great; I just needed a chance to be exposed.
I wanted to climb the ranks, to enter the top 100 of the monthly ticket list.
Either beco like Yin Guan, becoming a God Arrives in one battle, or like Yang Jiande, fighting to exhaustion, perishing with the state.
Everyone knows what happened afterward.
Readers beca Alliance Hierarch one after another, and silver supporters followed one after the other. Even Lulu and Ah Shu, who previously read pirated versions, ca to give rewards, directly boosting “Red Heart Soars” to the top 10 in the monthly ticket list!
The reward amount that month was 128,684 yuan RMB.
I will never forget that February, when I gritted my teeth and persisted through over 2 million words, finally seeing the clouds parting.
“Red Heart Soars” started from that ti. Up till today, it has remained stable at the forefront in sales and monthly ticket rankings.
…
But “The South is Fine” suddenly initiated a tear in mid-February, openly accusing of manipulating the rankings. He also told that in the writers’ groups he mingled with, they were all saying this.
I still don’t understand where his malice towards cos from. I don’t understand where the malice from those in those writer groups cos from.
I asked him, if I wanted to manipulate the rankings, why didn’t I do it when I had tens of thousands of words, and waited until I had 2.3 million words? Have you calculated the cost? Manipulating the rankings with tens of thousands of words might only cost a few thousand. With millions of words, it would cost hundreds of thousands. Can’t you do this math?
He didn’t answer.
“The South is Fine” said: Your book has been written to this point; it has all the recomndations it should have. It doesn’t even have an exquisite recomndation; doesn’t that explain the issue?
But in fact, at that ti “Red Heart Soars” only had one free recomndation, which was during a site-wide free period. All these can be directly checked on the website!
I asked him, have you not even checked before you start talking?
He didn’t answer.
“The South is Fine” also said, the Alliance Hierarchs of “Red Heart” are all manipulated.
I said I could invite you into my Alliance Hierarch group, you can verify each person’s authenticity. You can also open the fan list and see with your own eyes if those Alliance Hierarchs are fake people.
Even Yan Ge saw my argunts on Zhihu at that ti and proactively said he could testify for on Zhihu.
Later, Yan Ge did testify.
“The South is Fine” changed his tone and said, I admit your fans are amazing. But I don’t admit your book is amazing.
(Probably from that ti, his circle started saying “Red Heart Soars” works like a fandom. The funny thing is, the earliest to say that “Is There Any Basis for Emotion” didn’t have any fan base at all, with only 175 recomndation tickets in 6 days, was exactly “The South is Fine” himself.)
“The South is Fine” also said, only subscriptions are real.
I even showed him the screenshot of my daily new subscriptions of a hundred thousand. Any author signed with Qidian should know what a hundred thousand new subscriptions a day ans; it indicates the work is rapidly gaining legitimate readers.
But he focused on the total subscription and said, you wrote for so long and this is all you have in total subscriptions?
I said my previous performances were indeed not good, I never denied it.
Writing 2.3 million words quietly but with quality and quantity, living off savings, I never denied it. Is this so kind of dirt on ?
I asked “The South is Fine,” why would you co to sar without knowing even the basic rules of Qidian?
He said fan behavior, idol pays the price.
What fan behavior?
After I quietly wrote over 2 million words, so of my readers saw the 2019 question on Zhihu and mocked those who mocked then.
This is the very thing that made “The South is Fine” begin to hate .
He said it’s been a year, and your fans still keep judging us, whom should we turn to if not you?
This is his reason for slandering .
This is their reason for spreading rumors everywhere.
If you people feel being criticized is being hard.
Then what were your utmost degrading acts of trampling in the beginning?
If others’ attacks make you feel wronged and angry, did you ever consider others’ feelings when you attacked them?
If you feel pain. Did you ever consider when I faced a screen full of trampling, with seventy or eighty responses, each harsher than the last, how I felt?
Most importantly—I’m just a writer, I don’t rely on persona to earn money, I don’t sell appearances, I have no endorsents. Since when did authors also need to take responsibility for readers’ actions?
“Red Heart Soars” up to now, a hundred alliances, a million subscriptions, Glory 2-star. Counting pirated copies, readers conservatively estimated to exceed a million.
Every reader has their own independent will.
Who can I manage?
I’ve repeatedly told the readers, I’ve never intended to slap anyone’s face; I just want to tell my story.
