Hello, everyone! This is Cao Manjun!
With all your support and encouragement, "Life Winner" is about to be released!
The launch is set for noon tomorrow, and I'll definitely provide around four updates of ten thousand words each, because I'm still working and part-time, so updating every day with ten thousand words is certainly difficult, but Manzi will also guarantee more updates, so please give your support then!
First of all, let's report the achievements!
Currently, we have just over thirty thousand collections, with the real reading data at about three thousand, which is basically on par with "Reborn Childhood Sweetheart" before its launch, and that year's missed Sanjiang Mother has gone up again. The shame is that we missed a round of not going to P with the loudspeaker, but it's not far off!
The inspiration for "Life Winner" comes, as many of you mentioned, from "Chinese-style Parents".
.net
You might see elements in the story including all-level Chinese internet kids, "Crayon Shin-chan", "Dumb Girl", "Daily Lives of High School Boys", "It Only After Rebirth Did I Realize I Had a Childhood Sweetheart", "To the Moon", "The Little Prince", "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day", "Cyberpunk Edgerunners", "Warhammer 40K series Hammer Bro Jubilant Jokes" ...
Just as previously mentioned, the story of "Life Winner" will be a slice of life tale with a dash of sci-fi elements. I'm trying to write a bit more about the innocence of childhood, watching You You grow up bit by bit by herself, watching these kids gradually become older and mature, developing their own thoughts, always feeling a sense that these are my internet babies, pinch!
To be honest, the birth of this book was not easy at all, especially as Manzi has also been in a low period in life lately. Whenever I look at the tired and dejected reflection of myself in the mirror, I can't help feeling surprised—
Damn, is this the adult I always dreamed of becoming when I was a child?
I've never deleted records of my past, be it my personal space, diaries, status updates, or even the pretentious black history of me posing in front of a camera at the age of 10, I've kept it all.
I actually really like the mental state I had as a kid.
Full of enthusiasm, with a sparkle in my eyes, always charging ahead doing all sorts of chuunibyou things, although looking back now it seems awkward and funny, but the spirit and demeanor is something that the current me envies very much and can't obtain.
Because the happiness at that time was real happiness!
I would nickname myself "Meng De Reborn" and fantasize I was the heir of the mighty Cao Cao (like in the Japanese Three Kingdoms-themed works like "Dynasty Warriors", "Fantasy Cao Cao Pass" and the like), pfft, the people who now mention Cao Zhei and only think of his ambition of liking Cao Cao, are definitely different from me!
(Of course, I would definitely consider Liu Bei more amazing now, back then I was just rebellious and chuunibyou)
I would get super excited seeing a red moon at night, thinking that the foreign blood in my veins was about to awaken, howling at the moon with what I thought was arrogance, and then feeling smug when the neighbors complained about who's raising a wolf.
I would make a Duel Disk out of cardboard and talk all big in class, dreaming that my future ambition was to build a Duel Academy;
I used to secretly spray hair gel, trying to style my hair like the cool folks in Yu-Gi-Oh, thinking I was freaking awesome.
Disliking that my name didn't sound like it suited a protagonist, I would write all sorts of weird and quirky names on answer sheets, like "Excalibur Master", and then get caught and made to stand outside.
As per tradition, a shoutout to the works of some great authors at the launch:
"Starting from King Wu's Conquest to Establish a Millennium Family" by Hua Fei Hua Yue Ye, a passionate reader who has been following my work since their youth!
"I'm a Police Officer in Tokyo" by Zhu Ye Gao, a story about stirring things up in Japan, from being a policeman to a Cabinet Minister.
"Turns Out I'm a God or Buddha" by Du Gu Huan, subduing dragons and tigers, exorcising ghosts and demons, chanting the sacred names, and ushering in a new heaven with the sun and moon!
"Stepping into Unscience" by Rookie Angler, a novel that changes the course of scientific history, with 4.5 million words for a satisfying binge-read, but the author's education is not high, so it's not recommended to read with your brain.
"Who Allowed Him to Cultivate?" by The Whitest Crow
"Lord Dao Wants to Ascend" by Pei Tu Gou
"Fairy, Please Hear Me Out" by Mi Tian Tower
"Wizard!" by Tian Li
"I'm a Celestial Being for Heaven and Earth" by Bluffing Ah
"Who's Playing Go After Reincarnation?" by A Sword Stab Stab Stab

Last but not least, I hope everyone can support this book's first subscription! The importance of a first subscription goes without saying, and it now also determines the kind of recommendation I get after the first launch. No matter what, I hope those who can, will support me a little bit; You You will be making some nice looking pictures for everyone to see!
Brothers, please support the first subscription generously and take You You on another rush!
Thank you, everyone!
