Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 85 Remarks on the launch
It will be available tomorrow. Sorry, I forgot myself. The original plan was to release it this Wednesday.

Let me start by sharing some good news, though I'm not sure if it's good or not.

I quit my job to write books full-time.

Some of you may know that I had been having insomnia for a while. I would go to bed around 4 or 5 in the morning, sleep for three or four hours, and then get up at 8 o'clock to go to work.

I later checked and it turned out to be mild depression.

Actually, I feel pretty good. Apart from insomnia and anxiety, I don't have any other symptoms.

The doctor's advice was to not take any medication for now, but to exercise more, play games, and go on trips.

After thinking about it, I've been lucky over the years at work. I haven't bought a house or gotten married, but I still have some savings. Even if I do nothing, I won't starve.

I might as well quit my job and write novels full-time.

Knowing my situation, my supervisor didn't insist on me staying for a full month before leaving or working until the end of the month. After offering some advice and handing over my work, I simply resigned.

The reason this is considered good news is that updates to the book should be guaranteed, roughly.
Let's get back to this book.

What I'm about to say might greatly affect the book's future performance, but it doesn't matter. If it flops, it might even serve as a lesson.

To be honest, I think this book is pretty rubbish.

It has many flaws, a disjointed pacing, and fails to grasp the main points. There's too little interaction between fan fiction and original characters, the protagonist's personality is awkward, and there are frequent, random, and inexplicable plot points inserted into the story.
In short, if I were a reader, I would criticize this book harshly.
By now, even the content I've written has started to deviate from the outline, so I myself don't know how much longer I can continue writing this book.
Yes, it was supposed to be a launch message, but it turned out to sound like a declaration of abandonment. I guess I'm the only idiot author like me who does this.
Actually, I've thought countless times about just deleting the book and starting over.

Yet so many people are still reading this book, and it's even been featured on the Sanjiang Literature City website. I myself spent nearly three months on the free period and the initial preparations. All sorts of reasons seem to be telling me to keep writing.
For the first time, I felt that writing novels was truly painful.
I kept writing my last book until it was finished. Even though it was tiring to work and write at the same time, and I would write on the subway, I kept saying that writing novels was really fun.
But this book, it really made me want to die.
Please subscribe with caution, everyone.
The funny thing is, I said this in the last book when it was already finished and I was writing the side stories.
Later on, I might let loose and try a different style, or I might stick to the routine and grit my teeth and keep writing. I don't know what it will be like, or how many words I'll be able to write.

All I can say is that if there are still people who like it, I will try my best to keep writing.

If I can update 10,000 words every day, I think it won't take more than a few months to finish the story.
Just a quick note about the update.

I don't have any drafts saved up yet, but I have plenty of time. I haven't written a single chapter for tomorrow, so the promised burst of updates probably won't be released all at once.

In the few days since I left my job, I've basically been having insomnia all night, then going to bed around 7 or 8 in the morning and waking up around noon. Even though I have plenty of time to write, I just can't muster any interest in it and only manage to write a couple of chapters before stopping.

So I'm not sure myself how many words I can actually write in a burst of updates.

I might tie myself to a chair and see how much I can type out before posting it.

that's all.
Sigh, I don't know why I said things that would inevitably affect the results in my book launch announcement.

It feels like I don't want to live anymore, but I don't want to die, so I might as well stab myself to bleed a little, and then tell everyone, "I'm dying, I'm dying, so please stop stabbing me." And deep down, I secretly hope that some kind person passing by will pull the knife out and save me, or at least let me die faster.

Touching the 'Publish' button felt like hesitating while holding a knife.

In short, I hope this book will turn out well.

I'm sorry for conveying so much negative emotion to everyone.
May you never run out of books to read.
