Fifteen Years of Traveling Together Through Thick and Thin—Remembering the Fifteenth Anniversary of Yunfei’s Entry Into the Industry

Fifteen years ago, in June 2002, a junior engineering student was interning in the new wing of the Guangzhou Department Store just before the summer vacation.

The internship at that time was boring and painful. My daily job was to clean the air-conditioning unit of the newly built department store. Specifically, I used a hammer to open the shutters that were sealed with cement and dirt, so that the shutters and the air-conditioning unit could be used. The return air fan can operate smoothly.

It was in such a boring and painful situation that the poor college student spent a small amount of pocket money to buy a few Internet cards that are antique in this era, and used the dial-up method of occupying the phone line to access the Internet, and drove his own The small computer started reading a novel.

In that ancient era, even the famous "Little Soldier Legend" of that era had not started serialization. The ancient great god Xuan Yu was just a fat man who poisoned elementary school students when he was an art teacher and wrote "Dream Space".

That college guy has read all the decent online novels. After reading the good ones, and then chewing up all the crappy ones after fifty on the list, and finding that he couldn't finish it, he came up with the idea, "I can write better than these guys." Good 'magical ideas and put them into action.

As a result, the world lost a third-rate college student who was preparing to go to the construction site, and gained a low-level writer.

Wrote the first chapter of a set of stallion stories called "The Overlord's Gun", which was officially published on June 30, 2002.

In fact, don't blame this writer for writing about studs, because back then he was studying in an engineering college. There were 40 people in a class, 32 boys and 8 girls, and the only beautiful girl was a few centimeters taller than this writer. And this guy never liked the feeling of climbing trees.

Under this depressing situation, this writer wrote a soul-stirring book that made tens of thousands of troops cry out soon after its opening chapter...

Ahem!

I feel so ashamed just thinking about it.

Well, this is also some kind of self-public execution!

There's no need to look for it in Dian Niang. If you can't find it, this thing will only work if the book is not sealed.

Well, then, things got out of hand.

Based on this set of books, someone published his first novel "The Overlord's Gun" on Xianwang, a Taiwanese novel publishing website he found!

He made his first pot of gold before graduating from college, and then shamelessly betrayed his college classmates, and was insulated from the construction industry ever since. He even presented his novel during his graduation thesis defense in college.

I still remember that when someone gave a nonsense defense, Teacher Ji said sincerely: "Since you don't do this anymore, we won't embarrass you. Forget the defense, let's talk about your novel."

Three minutes of defense, two and a half minutes of talking about the novel, and someone was too guilty to tell the teacher that the protagonist pushed a dragon girl in the first chapter. The guy who was defending later could only talk to himself bitterly, looking at the three teachers below who were reading the physical version of someone's novel.

ah! Sure enough, wise and great people are rewarded for their good intentions. Later, Teacher Ji became the secretary of our School of Civil Engineering.

Later, someone embarked on the road of no return from writing novels.

Immediately after graduating in 2003, he published the science fiction novel "Feiyun Xingzhi" in Taiwan. This novel was sold on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but it was pirated in the mainland and renamed "Rogue Fleet" in Hong Kong and Macau. .

Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of literary youth, it was not suitable for market demand, and nearly ten sets of tepid and purely casual movies such as "Firebird", "Rogue Knight" and "Mercury Kid" were published one after another. As for traditional Chinese novels, I also tried writing the online novel "The Wolf Lord" in 2009, but it never became popular, and it was only a little better than the online novel "The Wolf Lord".

With the decline of the traditional Chinese market in Taiwan after 2010, it once fell into despair.

Starting in 2011, my submissions were rejected again and again, and even in 2013, the publishing house I had been working with, Xianwang, closed down.

Life suddenly reached its lowest point.

All his savings had been spent, and as a last resort, he was forced by his family to find a job that would neither starve him to death nor make him fat.

However, even in these darkest days, I still never thought of giving up writing completely.

That's right, this guy is me - Yu Yunfei, a writer who once jumped into the earth's core.

During those days, I was having a hard time, I couldn't write online novels, and I couldn't adapt to the writing style of Shuangwen. It cannot be mixed in the online novel world, and it is not accepted by other publishing houses in Taiwan.

There was once an internet giant who wanted to give me a hand, maybe for the sake of being the same as Chuxian.com, he gave me a hand and asked me to be his gunman.

It was just my final pride that made me reject him.

It is true that you are a giant, but I would never want to be your gunner even if I starve to death.

Perhaps, this is the last reserve of a writer.

Ups and downs, keep jumping on the street, keep trying.

Until February 2015, when my son was born, I had no choice but to look at the shriveled purse and my wife who was full of expectations.

I made up my mind and embarked on the road of writing again.

This time I return to the starting point, it has been six years since I hit the street in 2009.

I don’t even know if I can still adapt to this world of novels, or if people are still willing to read what I write.

An old friend from the past suggested that I write about the city. Well, the city is the city, and then I jumped on the street gorgeously.

A former professional traditional Chinese published author, he wrote a set of urban novels, and guess what?

My visa was directly rejected by Qidian!

I later found out that the person who refused to sign my novel was Dan Qing, my current editor...

To be honest, I felt devastated at the time.

I prepared for 2 months, and then spent another month writing 100,000 words, but the result was a rejection! I didn’t believe in evil, so I changed my website and wrote 200,000 words, but the result still made me despair...

The contract is signed, write it, write 240,000 words every month, and ensure that the sales reach a certain amount, you can make 1,200 yuan a month.

Suddenly smiled bitterly!

This is simply not enough.

My son, who is only a few months old, is crying for food. A can of milk powder costs more than 200 yuan. Of course, the key is the huge sum of hundreds of thousands I owed when I got married for decoration and wine. The recurring interest on my credit card every month was enough to make me almost jump off the building from worry.

Looking at that pitiful pay stub, I couldn't sleep for three days, and I felt confused every day.

At the saddest time, I was so desperate that I almost jumped off the building, but I thought I would leave orphans and widows behind, but I couldn't bear to leave.

Finally, I gritted my teeth and decided to abandon all my moral integrity. Even if I got a bad reputation and was scolded by my old brothers who used to love reading my books, I could only write for the market.

Therefore, there is the first set of books that I really returned to the starting point last year, "The Shadow Throne".

Yes, this is a cool piece of writing.

Perhaps no one would imagine that I wrote such a book under such terrible psychological pressure.

I find it a bit incredible myself.

Because I always think that people read novels because they are already tired and miserable. There is no need to add to the worries of everyone, so Raven in the novel is a lucky tease. It was never really hard from beginning to end.

It is enough to bring happiness to everyone and earn some royalties on the way.

"Throne of Shadows" ended up writing 2.76 million words, which was much more than I budgeted. I originally thought that even if I had 500 uniforms, I would be able to write one million words while kneeling. Whether it's the outline or the plot design, it's a million-word structure. In fact, because I have never written a novel with more than a million words before, I started to feel a little uncontrollable after writing 1.5 million words. The rest of the story was almost forced to suppress the plot.

No way, I don't have enough writing power. This is also my first novel with over a million words.

I tried my best.

In any case, it finally has a perfect happy ending to the soap opera.

The current set of "Storm God", although I thought that if it was a high-quality product, I would write 5 million words, but I still underestimated everyone's enthusiasm for World of Warcraft, and the results were twice as good as I expected.

Even though there are many enthusiastic readers who want me to write ten million words, there is even an alliance leader who wants me to write forever.

Obviously this is impossible.

Let’s not forget that Blizzard’s dad is desperately trying to read books, overturn his own settings, and desperately update the game version.

My own body can't handle it either.

Since returning to the starting point in March 2015, I haven’t had a day off. Every year from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the New Year's Eve at the end of the year, there is really no day without updates, and the worst is 2,000 words of updates. The reason why the number shows that the update is interrupted is because my auntie suddenly blocked my update until after 12 o'clock. As a result, it only showed that the update was interrupted for two days.

I used to be in despair and update 10,000 words every day while going to work. Old readers who have followed "Shadow Throne" know that I like to update at night, and that's why.

I thought I was still young and could still endure it... Who knows, I might be able to endure it for a while, but not for a lifetime. It has been two years since I returned to writing online novels, and I have already updated more than the total number of updates in the past 13 years.

My health has deteriorated a lot, and I often catch a bad cold. Just this June alone, I have had two heatstrokes.

If I had to use one adjective to describe it, it would be extremely weak...

When I looked back, I realized that I, a 36-year-old man, was no longer young.

Infinitely sad.

I am not as great as everyone thinks, and I am not as full of ideas. All my ideas are just accumulated over time. I am just a middle-aged man who is struggling to support his own well-off family. I support my family and cope with the increasing expenses while paying off my debts.

Looking back now, it turns out that I have almost paid off all my debts to the bank. After this July, I will be debt-free and light-hearted.

I can finally code with a calmer mind.

Some readers have asked me about a new book, but I haven’t thought about it yet because it will be next year, 2018.

Baofeng's data has been dropping recently, and there's nothing I can do about it. This is the shackles of fan-attributed works. If they are all the same, they will be scolded, so it is better to read the original work. If you run too far, you won't be able to catch up from behind.

The strong ones who survived in the early stage took too many people into their mouths, and as a result, the situation became stuck now. I also have a hard time writing.

Anyway, my words are here. Even if the worst situation is that there is not a single reader left, I will write two million more words to complete "Storm God".

This is my reserve as an author who has never been a prisoner, and it is also the moral integrity I refuse to lose until the end of my life.

It also brings the most perfect ending to my five-year Warcraft career from 2005 to 2009.

Next, regarding the plot below, because I have never played Pandaren in World of Warcraft 5.0, and I probably can’t write it well, most of the plot will be skipped, leaving only the part where I yell at the idiot.

6.0 The Restoration of Brainless Roar... I want to say that if Duke knew that Brainless Roar would be restored and still let Brainless Roar go out, then that would be my brainlessness and Duke's brainlessness. So there will be no so-called 6.0 plot! ! !

Still making a comeback? Turn over your sister!

(╯'-')╯︵┻━┻ (turn over the table)

┬─┬ノ('-'ノ){Place it well, place it well)

(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻(Fuck it again)

Blizzard’s father is so good at dragging me down, but I can’t afford to drag him down. In order not to turn the Storm God into a series in his lifetime, 7.0 defeated Mr. Sa and completed the entire book. Therefore, there is no King of the Void, and various settings will also be changed.

In this way, hello, me, and everyone!

As for updates, I can only say that I will do my best as my body allows.

The last thing I want to say is that I have had an intermittent writing career for 15 years.

Successed, failed, and rose again.

Regardless of experience, age, or mentality, I have matured a lot.

I really hope that I can keep writing like this until I am 60 years old, or even until I am 80 years old. Share the joy and joy of writing with everyone.

I don’t know if everyone will still remember me, remember "The Shadow God", and remember "The God of Storms" in 5 or 10 years, but as long as everyone has the same knowing smile together because of the same set of books.

This is enough!

We have been together through thick and thin for fifteen years, and I hope you and I can create greater glory together!
