1. Report results
The book was released on October 16 this year, with an initial order of 3,500. It has been on the shelves for nearly three months so far, with a collection of 118,000. The subscription data for the first chapter was 14,000, with an average order of 5,000. The latest chapter has been read 24 hours a day, with a reading data of 1,500~
Between 1700.
In the context of the entire online literature environment, this book's performance is already outstanding.
Although it is not as good as the big bosses that are really popular, it is already a very, very, very big improvement for street fighting.
So I am very grateful to the genuine readers who have supported this book. Every subscription you make is an encouragement and reward for my writing.
Of course, careful book lovers may find that the data in this book is not actually very healthy.
The ratio of collections to average orders is over 20, average orders are only about one-third of high-end orders, and follow-up orders are less than one-third of even orders.
Although I know that this has a lot to do with the characteristics of daily writing, everyone must know some of the reasons, so I won’t go into details.
I hope the environment will improve in the future.

2. Content summary
1. Overall structure
In fact, if it weren't for the overall structure of the first volume to present a complete cycle, the first volume should have ended on Chen Wen's birthday or when the two of them just returned to the Shanghai stock market.
But when I first started preparing the outline, the structure of the first volume had already been decided, which is "Opening Confession" - "Chen Wen's Birthday" - "Qixi Festival" - "Jiang Qiu Yi's Birthday".
This is the structure of the plot.
What follows the plot structure is the emotional line of "from Jiang Qiuyi taking the initiative to gradually becoming Chen Wen taking the initiative".
From this point of view, the content of the first volume is very complete and basically runs according to my ideas.
When filling in the connecting plots between this skeleton, "Mom's reaction" and "Devil Aunt" after returning home are the ones I am most satisfied with. "Piano Performance", "Comic Expo", and "genuine" plots can only be said
Generally speaking, I originally wanted to emphasize the plot of Lin Meng and Wu Jianwen in the middle, but I gave up after careful consideration.
As for the three climax plots of the two birthdays and the Chinese Valentine's Day, the overall sense is quite satisfactory, but there are many shortcomings.
For example, Chen Wen’s birthday was written in abbreviations because I have never been to an arcade arcade very often.
For example, during the Chinese Valentine's Day, I didn't write so many details about the shooting, but more about driving.
Another example is the last trip to Xiamen. In fact, I almost didn’t write about any famous attractions in detail, because I haven’t been to Xiamen for many years, and my memory is very vague. I only relied on the information I found online, most of which were promotional.”
Soft article", the authenticity is really limited.
So in terms of overall writing techniques, my methods are actually not very clever, and even a little clumsy.
I will selectively skip the parts that I am not good at and do not understand, and I will work hard on the plots that I am good at and good at.
Gradually learning to make the most of my strengths and avoid my weaknesses is one of the gains I have gained from writing so far.

2.Character setting
Due to the limitations of my own writing power and control, I have never dared to write too many supporting characters, and I have tried my best to restrain my desire to express myself by expanding the number of characters.
Especially in the early stages of the new book, because I failed to write the character "He Ran", after asking readers' opinions and decisively discarding this character, I became quite restrained in supporting roles.
Apart from Lin Meng, only Hoe He, Wu Jianwen and Ding Zeyu can be regarded as half-supporting characters.
Other characters who have appeared are still in the status of "tool people" for the time being.
This makes the daily life in the book lack more plot tension. Most of the time, Chen Wen and Jiang Qiu can only rely on two people to hold up all the scenes.
Fortunately, most readers come here just for the two people's love. Otherwise, relying solely on the interaction between the two people will never be able to support a wonderful novel.
In this regard, I still have a lot to learn and improve.
When I first started writing the book, I thought that there were so many excellent up owners at Station B, and if I picked one at random, I would have a full-fledged supporting role image, and there would be no duplicates.
But later I discovered that there was something wrong with this, which I will explain in detail later.
As for the follow-up way to solve this problem, I can only think of one for the time being, which is to rationally use the images of the male and female protagonists’ family members, which may make it easier to create a few good supporting characters.

3. Follow-up trend
The title of the first volume is "Bai Ge Pian". It is concise and concise, and everyone can understand it. Jiang Qiuyi is enough for Bai Gai.
The title of the second volume is "Proposal". The timeline in the book should extend from October to the summer vacation after graduation next year. The title is also simple and clear, and everyone can understand it.
As for the third volume, the outline currently on the pen is only a few sentences. I will definitely write it, but whether it will be written in detail or briefly depends on the state after the second volume is written.
So you know the fourth volume, unless the third volume can be completed to a higher degree, then I may consider writing about their married life, but after all, I have never been married, so I am hesitant about it, and maybe not
It's too early to touch this.
