Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 88: Author's Note for Release


Before you is the author's journey since entering the industry, and it's also an opportunity to express some heartfelt sentiments.

Readers who are not interested may skip to the end, thank you for understanding!

I still remember in 2020, just married, the house we bought was still under renovation, and our savings weren't even enough for the renovations.

Adding insult to injury, a pandemic swept in, and at 30, I lost my job. Lying at home, bored and idle, I suddenly had the idea to write novels.

Although my wife didn't understand this unfamiliar industry, she chose to believe in me and support me without hesitation.

When I first entered the field, I was lucky to have an older brother to guide me, joining his company with a monthly basic salary of two thousand, learning a lot of basic knowledge and experience from him.

However, at that time, the older brother was focusing on new media, that kind of 'Son-in-law God of War' trend, and I followed him for half a year, taking his salary without producing anything that satisfied him. Reflecting on it now, I feel quite ashamed.

At that time, I also realized I wasn't suited for new media writing. After leaving the older brother, I found my way to Feilu.

Readers familiar with Feilu should know it's a website known for fantastic plots combined with fast-paced and exhilarating storylines. Back then, at age 31, I couldn't compete with the young in terms of creativity and was more of a slow-starter, thus living a tough life on Feilu.

The most memorable time was a few months before my daughter was born in 2021.

During those seven or eight months of pregnancy, my wife still rode an electric bike to work daily because my savings had been exhausted, and we couldn't afford the mortgage anymore.

I said to her, maybe I should give up. I'm probably not cut out for this, maybe I should just find a regular job.

She said: "You've persisted for more than a year now, giving up now would mean all previous efforts and accumulation go to waste."

"Hang in there a little longer, the baby's about to be born, believe that she will bring you good luck."

Listening to her, I gritted my teeth and persevered.

In September, our daughter was born, her jaundice was too high and she had to be hospitalized, requiring a deposit of four thousand.

Yet at that moment, I didn't even have five hundred dollars to give.

That moment, the joy of being a new father was slapped hard by reality, when asking my sister for money, feelings of helplessness, shame, and frustration surged up.

Later, I met some like-minded friends who said my personality was suited for writing historical stories.

Luckily, I'm someone who listens to advice. I spent a long time intensely studying Spring and Autumn and Warring States history, the Qin Empire Trilogy, and finally when my daughter was born, I earned some money through a story about Qin.

In early 2022, I wrote another Qin history book on Feilu and made it to the so-called top list, earning an unimaginable manuscript fee.

At that moment, I truly felt my daughter was my lucky star.

But good times didn't last, Feilu gradually declined, and my friends all moved to Starting Point.

I didn't dare try it easily because, in my heart, Starting Point was a hall of online literature—a place where experts gathered and where you prove yourself to become a god.

So I dawdled on Feilu for another year until early 2023, and finally, unable to stand it, I mustered the courage to move to Starting Point.

At Starting Point, I wrote about six or seven books, but none achieved ideal results.

It wasn't until that day in March, after being ruthlessly rejected by the editor for two openings, that I stumbled upon a family cultivation immortality story.

That very day, I started writing, penning the opening of this story.

As readers can see, the beginning reminisces the childhood of those born in the 90s, writing with comfort and personal fondness.

Of course, this book is the best one I've written at Starting Point, from initial trial and push, all the way to small speaker and the Sanjiang event, far exceeding expectations.

While achieving good results, it also brought the author considerable anxiety, fearing that it might all be a joke.
