However, you look at the web novel industry in the last few years, most become further away from becoming a professional.
We are becoming something worse than those African hyenas, feast on the dead carcass of fall giants, never creating anything new and interesting.
Writers are consumed by greed, writing is no longer a profession that rely on your knowledge, the wisdom you accumulated through the ages, or long hours of study.
Writers are becoming people no different than the workers who work on a freaking Iphone production line, mindless drones, nothing more.
We are no longer touch the minds and souls of our readers with our words, we are simply trying to stir up their hormone and dopamine for fuck sake.
I mean no disrespect to the workers, but I simple think writers should not be working like that.
Our work is becoming more and more cheap, sometimes cheaper than the sugar in a cup of freaking milk tea or the pleasure you get from a fucking jerk off.
4000 words every day my ass。。。。。。。。。
I felt the phantom when your dream profession is shifting away from the right things.
I witnessed the birth of Chinese web novel, seen its most glorious days and also seen its downfall towards nothing but a profit machine.
These are my demons and I had to face them again yesterday, but thanks to you guys, I was victorious once again.
Some might start calling me hypocrite already since I am pretty must writing doujin as well.
That’s true, but then again, I am using this one as a warm up for the next book, something fully original with a fully constructed world, awesome background and a rich story.
But I am not cutting this book loose, every book is my creation, my child and no parent in their right mind could easily throw away their child.
That’s about it really, the conflict between my ideals and the ugly reality had been tormenting me, giving me phantom pain, this is the fate of all art workers in a sense.
I am lucky, I don’t have to rely on writing for a living, so I don’t have to bow down to the greedy bastards who think they run the fucking universe.
So, a mid finger to those assholes and a deep bow down to you---my readers.
Stay with me, I will get there, I will show you a beautiful word, an exciting story the best I can.
I will see you tomorrow
