The author's name is Ruoshui Sanqian. Given Chen Zhengxing's extensive experience browsing various websites, she is undoubtedly a fresh newcomer, or perhaps just a pseudonym of another author.

Without practice, one has no right to speak. Chen Zhengxing did not make a judgment based on only one side of the story. He began to read the main text. The novel begins with Yuwen Huaji being ordered by Yang Guang to travel south by boat. The rebel army also arrived. Two local hooligans happened to be there at the right time. The successor of the martial arts holy land also participated. Right from the start, six main storylines unfolded at the same time. Through cross-analysis, the central theme was the "Longevity Manual". This scene is quite grand.

Chen Zhengxing quickly finished reading the first chapter. "Huh, there's a comment function here too?" he thought. "That's great." At this point, there were already over 100,000 comments. It was clear that these weren't from bots, but from genuine readers. Most of them thought the book was good, and many were commenting on the main plot development, each with their own reasons. They quickly split into several factions, each sticking to their own arguments, forming distinct groups.

Interesting! This is a new approach. Controversy generates buzz, which greatly increases reader engagement. As long as the book is good, it will achieve great success.

There was also a reader reward function, which was a new innovation. Chen Zhengxing clicked on it. At this time, there were many reader rewards, mostly free items that were not worth much. There were also like and recommendation functions. Chen Zhengxing first clicked on the like function, and then clicked on the recommendation function. It immediately showed that the current recommendation votes were ranked first, and there was no way to rise further.

Chen Zhengxing thought this was good and very interesting. He entered the reward function and rewarded a free prop. When he tried to reward with cash, a message appeared: "This book has not been officially launched yet, and rewards are temporarily unavailable."
