Chapter 184 A Stunning Beginning
Of course, no one could have guessed at the beginning that Nan Gezi's new fantasy work would be updated so frequently.
Although the emergence of "Qidian.com" has made daily updates the mainstream for popular or online writing, there are still many authors who are used to writing for magazines and can only update weekly at best.
However, these authors who updated their works weekly soon discovered that they could not compete with the popular authors who updated their works daily on Qidian.com.
The internal competition began like this. Gradually, most online writers began to choose to update daily. Even if they only updated one chapter a day, the data of the entire book would be better than those books that could not be updated daily.
The term "stop updating" has also appeared among the emerging group of online writers.
Some veteran popular writers couldn't help but complain, thinking that Qidian.com was good in every way except that it was too inhumane to require it to update daily.
Some of the authors simply couldn't adapt and had to go back to writing magazine serials.
However, truly talented authors can actually be completely willful. Whether they update weekly or even monthly, they will still have readers following them, and the data on their works is also very good.
Of course, if they update their content every day, their fans will be as happy as if it were New Year, and will give them all kinds of rewards and monthly tickets.
Qidian.com is compatible with all kinds of authors, no matter if you are a tentacle monster, a code queen, or you are talented and willful and rely on quality to gather loyal readers. As long as your book sales are high enough, it will naturally be recommended and will definitely not be buried.
In the eyes of many readers, Mr. [Nan Gezi] has always been someone who does not rely on updates to win. He can definitely be considered a talented and willful author.
Like his previous book, Those Years, it was serialized for two months with 200,000 words, averaging more than 3,000 words a day.
Such updates cannot be compared with those of the top authors on Qidian.com, who can update six to eight thousand words a day.
That’s right, for the current authors on “Qidian.com”, if they update 10,000 words a day, it’s considered a breakthrough. Almost no one can keep updating 10,000 words a day.
No one could imagine that there is someone in this world who can update 20,000 words a day and guarantee the quality, and even keep it up for a whole year.
If Gu Qingge didn't have the work card "The Great Ruler", she wouldn't be able to update so frequently. It would be more accurate to say that she is revising and reposting this work rather than updating it.
After Gu Qingge uploaded this work, many old readers who had previously claimed that they would never read fantasy themes naturally flocked to it as soon as possible.
"I'm not interested in the new fantasy book by this rubbish guy [Nan Gezi]. I just came to see how rubbish his writing is!" An old reader nicknamed [Fan Nanchuan] made his position clear in the book review section before reading the main text.
Gu Qingge's father, Gu Weiping, is also an old reader of "Nan Gezi". However, he read "Those Years" just for gossip at first, but later he was completely hooked. At the end, he was "healed" by this scumbag author.
Gu Weiping is not a senior popular reader, so he is not like some old-fashioned readers who look down on fantasy literature and think that fantasy literature is all naive and routine.
He chose to try Nan Gezi's new work purely because he heard that the inspiration for Nan Gezi's work actually came from the TV series "The Twins of the Immortal World" starring his daughter, and it is very likely that the role played by Gu Qingge will also appear in "The Great Ruler".
This naturally made Gu Weiping feel very excited.
The entire Gu family watched every episode of their daughter's first TV series, "The Twins of the Immortal World."
The female role played by Gu Qingge was so good that the whole family thought she performed so well.
It’s a pity that the budget for this drama is limited, and the special effects are only used to their full potential at the end. The whole drama has a very serious sense of fragmentation and cannot be savored carefully.
I didn't realize it when I was watching the drama, but after watching it in one go, I found that the drama was terribly broken, as if there was a mysterious force that made the director, screenwriter and other creative staff go crazy.
Anyway, some viewers who value logic very much and don’t like spoofs think that this "The Twins of the Immortal Realm" is also a very bad drama, with all kinds of elements, martial arts, immortals, fantasy...
It's just that it's too creatively bad, and Gu Qingge's acting is so brilliant. In addition, she looks so good in ancient costume, and she's very popular and has a lot of traffic, so it has so many paying viewers.
Let me put it this way, many people may have forgotten the plot of "The Twins" after watching it, but they will definitely not forget Gu Qingge, the "ruthless guy" who killed his way through this amazing drama.
After the drama ended, some B station up-loaders edited out the scenes where Gu Qingge was invincible in the drama, added various BGMs, and made them into MADs, which were very popular.
There are naturally quite a few fan fictions about this drama, but most of them are written in a rather mediocre manner and do not break away from the stereotype of the TV series.
Now, Gu Weiping wants to see how this unscrupulous author [Nan Gezi] who likes to use all kinds of methods to ride on the popularity of his own daughter writes "Zhan Tian".
Gu Weiping opened the "Qidian Reading" app and found that there was a splash screen recommendation for this book "The Great Ruler". The picture was very handsome, and there were eight artistic words on it: "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, The Great Ruler is Coming". He directly clicked on the splash screen with his thumb and entered the interface of "The Great Ruler".
"Huh? It's only the first day of publication, and it already has 100,000 words? This [Nan Gezi] definitely came prepared."
Gu Weiping thought so, and then he didn't bother to read the noisy book review section, and directly clicked "Read Now". This book "The Great Ruler" didn't have any preface or introduction, it just went straight to the main text -
“Life is the greatest miracle in the world.
The four directions, the ups and downs, are called the universe. Although the universe has substance, it has no fixed location. The past and the present are called the cosmos. Although the cosmos continues to grow, its origin and destination are unknown.
In the vast universe and the endless starry sky, many scientists speculate that the Earth may be the only source of life.
Humanity is actually very lonely. In the vast universe, although there are billions of stars, it is difficult to find a second star that is the source of life.
..."
After reading the beginning, Gu Weiping felt a little confused. Isn't "The Great Ruler" a fantasy fairy tale? Why does the style of the beginning feel so modern? Could it be a science fiction?
Other old readers of [Nan Gezi] were also confused by the beginning of "The Great Ruler". It was completely different from the fantasy and fairy tale themes they had imagined!
The sense of immersion comes immediately!
And then, when they saw Nan Gezi's description of the "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin", they were immediately amazed -
"The nine dragon corpses were each a hundred meters long, and at their tails were tied black iron chains as thick as bowls, connecting them to the dark space behind them. There, quietly hung a twenty-meter-long bronze coffin.
The giant rope has been tempered through thousands of hammerings, and is thick, long and strong. The black light makes it look extremely cold and gloomy.
The huge bronze coffin is simple and unpretentious, with some vague ancient patterns on it, full of the vicissitudes of time. It is unknown how many years it has been floating in the universe.
Nine dragons pulling the coffin!
In this pitch-black and cold universe, the sight of nine dragon corpses and a giant bronze coffin connected by thick black iron chains was extremely shocking.
Gu Weiping almost clapped his hands in admiration after watching it!
This [Nan Gezi], although he is an unscrupulous scoundrel, he is indeed very talented!
[Nan Gezi], you are worthy of being me!
It is obviously a fantasy fairy tale theme, but it can write such an unexpected and amazing beginning that is beyond all readers' expectations!
In this parallel world, no other author specializing in fantasy and fairy tale themes has ever written like this!
