When no one in this world likes my books anymore, what kind of world would that be for me?
Every time I start a new book, I feel very anxious and uneasy.
This time, it's the most anxious I've ever been.
Due to various reasons, the release of the new book has been delayed again and again. Finally, it has moved to Chongsheng. I hope to have the honor of working with the creators of online literature to build a new world.
Back then, there were many things I couldn't say at Qidian. Moreover, when I posted the single chapter on March 15th, I didn't know it would turn out this way. After that, I could only remain silent, silent, and more silent.
But no matter what, I keep destroying the trust my old friends have in me, and this is the reality I face.
A few days ago, a friend said they started promoting my new book on the Tieba, so I went in to take a look. I saw a post written by a book friend called "k dan Qi," which touched me deeply.
He seems to be a very simple reader, perhaps not even knowing about Qidian or Chongsheng, and not knowing where the true supporters of mine are, whether they were at Qidian or are now at Chongsheng.
He only knows about the Tieba and reads quietly.
Let me excerpt some of this book friend's words.
"Even though I only come occasionally, in my heart, Canjun is still the same as when I first met him."
"I started following Guandao in 2009, and it has been four years now. I saw the praise from netizens during his peak times. Back then, the Guandao Tieba was so lively. Yifan, Yufan, and the gays were always active in the Tieba, and I could see their posts every day. Now, they are hard to find. Batch after batch of Tieba members came and left. As we grew up, we all became more realistic."
"Especially after the洗礼 (baptism) of the Junfa Tieba, after the sedimentation, the few of us who remained slowly lost our initial passion."
"When so many people cursed him, and now it's hard to find anyone who praises him, I realized that gratitude is not something everyone can express."
"I thank Canjun for deepening my understanding of the internet during my years from 18 to 22. I thank his works for bringing me a sense of longing for life. I thank him for adding so much color to my free time with his words."
"Whenever he starts a new book, I will definitely follow it every day. And I will still sign in quietly on the Tieba, watching the members chat. In the end, no one will remember someone like me."
Very simple and sincere, and he certainly didn't write it for me to see.
Actually, when I first read these words, I felt a bit choked up. It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but hard to send charcoal in the snow.
This time, Canjun is moving to a new site, and in front of me, it's like a sea of snow and ice, right?
I really thank the friends who have always supported me without leaving.
I especially thank the friends who joined Canjun's various reader groups. Although I never show any emotions in the group, just chatting and joking around, whenever someone wants to discuss the plot of the book with me, I always say very modestly and proudly, "I don't want the friends in the group to influence me. The rule in the group is not to discuss how the novel should develop. A thousand people have a thousand ideas, and I only write what I want to write."
Actually, every time I see these familiar IDs, my heart feels so warm.
In the group, Canjun definitely won't say "thank you," that would be too sappy. But I take this opportunity to bow to you all, thank you! Thank you so much!
Of course, those who join the group are a very small part. Most friends don't want to join the group, they just read quietly. If Canjun were a reader, I would probably be the same.
It's because of your silent companionship and support all along that Canjun has been able to achieve what he has. Without you, what would Canjun be?
Thank you to every friend who is still supporting Canjun. I'm sure many more friends will gradually get the news and come to support my new book. Thank you all!
And to the Tieba book friend "k dan Qi" I quoted above, I want to say, brother, you're not alone. The moderator of the "Guandao Tieba," Yufan, was the deputy moderator and leader of my last book, Junfa, and is also the deputy moderator and leader of my new book, "Red Power." Many friends gradually transition to reading the official version. This time, with the new site starting from scratch, every bit of support is needed. I hope everyone can come to Chongsheng to click and recommend. If possible, subscribing would be even better.
Now, let's talk about the old readers at Qidian.
To be honest, a month online is like a year in the real world. If you play an online game and don't log in for a month, when you come back, everything will be different, and no one might recognize you.
The same goes for the online literature world. After disappearing for seven months and moving to a new site, Canjun is basically a fresh new face.
Will there still be many people supporting Canjun?
Canjun doesn't know. Canjun can only quietly write, quietly update, and quietly make the book better.
The new book has a slow start, and Canjun will settle down, start from zero, and slowly build this new world, a red world.
I hope this global red comeback won't disappoint everyone.
With the allure of power and endless romance, Canjun hopes to use his words to rekindle everyone's passion and enthusiasm (and maybe some bromance?). I'm waiting for the return of my comrades.
On the eve of the storm, the sky is filled with dark clouds. Canjun is waiting and preparing. Waiting to break through the dark clouds and continue standing tall in the realm of online urban and political fiction.
Now, Canjun is alone, quietly setting out.
I hope it's not "The wind is bleak and the water cold, the brave warrior departs and never returns," but rather, "Don't worry about the road ahead, for who in the world doesn't know you?"
Comrades, let's set out together, accompanying Canjun on this journey!
