Chapter 284 Impressive Characters
The ending of "The Great Ruler" can be said to have made many fans of Nan Gezi very reluctant to part with it.
For many book fans, reading "The Great Ruler" every day has become a habit.
Some industry professionals in the popular field have given extremely high praise to "The Great Ruler".
For example, a user nicknamed [Listen with Side Ears] posted a post like this on a famous popular forum:
What does the book "The Great Ruler" bring to Qidian?
In the opinion of [Listen Hard], the work "The Great Ruler" is the true masterpiece of the famous popular writer [Nan Gezi]. It is also the masterpiece that suppresses destiny in "Starting Point"!
[Listen Whisper of the Heart] lists a lot of data to prove how terrifyingly popular the epic novel "The Great Ruler" is. After the release of this work, "Qidian" has undoubtedly become the most popular online website at the moment.
Many popular writers who originally wrote serialized articles for magazines saw that online writers on Qidian had amazing incomes, great freedom in their creations, and that copyrights were easy to sell, so they flocked to Qidian.
A typical example is Zhao Heng, the former super rookie king of "Tianhuo" magazine. His current pen name is "I Love Tomatoes and Potatoes". His work "Wu Po Cangqiong" is second only to "Zhan Tian" in popularity on "Qidian".
There is no way. The 20,000-word update of "The Great Ruler" every day is really terrifying. In addition, the quality of its text is also very high, and the fans of [Nan Gezi] are also very loyal and vote enthusiastically. Naturally, other books are no match for "The Great Ruler".
[Listen carefully] I am very sorry that "The Great Ruler" has ended at this time——
"The movie adapted from Nan Gezi's youth novel 'Those Years' is still a hit in theaters, and his original novel has also topped the bestseller list, which has also made 'The Great Ruler' even more popular. If he could continue serializing 'The Great Ruler', perhaps many fans of 'Those Years' would also be drawn to 'The Great Ruler'. Therefore, it's a pity that Nan Gezi chose to end 'The Great Ruler' now."
However, his regret was not recognized by others. A user with the ID [Elegant Evil] refuted him like this:
"[Nan Gezi] always chooses to finish a work when it's time to do so. He never increases the word count in pursuit of better results or more royalties. 'The Great Ruler' is a rare fantasy work that has filled in all the holes with 4 million words. Its completeness is very high. [Nan Gezi] chose to finish it now because it is indeed time for it to end."
You know, it is very easy for a super long fantasy novel to have a bad ending, simply because in the later stages of writing, the author himself forgets some of the previous pitfalls and foreshadowings.
However, since this "The Great Ruler" is Gu Qingge's refined version, many of its flaws have been perfectly filled, which makes many authors and readers exclaim incredulously.
Some authors pointed out that there is only one reason why Nan Gezi can maintain such high quality of 20,000 words a day, that is, his works are not coded on the spot, but have been written long ago.
This statement has been recognized by many authors in the circle.
Some authors said that it is not impossible for them to write 20,000 words a day, but it is really too difficult to write 20,000 words a day like [Nan Gezi] while ensuring high quality and perfectly filling the previous gaps!
The most terrifying thing is that [Nan Gezi] did not take a single day off during the serialization of "The Great Ruler"!
He definitely has some drafts saved, otherwise he is just a ruthless typing machine. A normal author would never be able to do what he does!
Of course, in this popular discussion forum, there are people who praise "The Great Ruler" and there are also people who belittle "The Great Ruler".
"Nan Gezi's 'The Great Ruler' is a huge hit, but in my opinion, it's not as good as 'Those Years', let alone 'Who's the Contender'. 'Those Years'''s writing style, golden sentences, and witty jokes are all worth savoring over and over again. It's no exaggeration to say that its literary value completely surpasses 'The Great Ruler'. Now its movie is also a hit, and 'Who's the Contender' even pioneered the esports genre, a truly groundbreaking work. 'The Great Ruler', in the final analysis, is just a fan work of the TV series 'The Twins of the Immortal Realm'. Nan Gezi's writing is really getting worse and worse. I can't even remember any of the memorable characters in 'The Great Ruler'."
As soon as this comment came out, it stirred up a hornet's nest of "Nan fans". For example, the previous poem whose first line was "Who is the peak at the end of the immortal road?" can be used to refute this person.
A "Southern fan" whose later years are unknown also wrote:
"There are so many characters in "The Great Ruler" that I remember. I won't mention the classic Wang Teng, who has the potential to be a great emperor. I think anyone who has read "The Great Ruler" will remember the following:
An Miaoyi, in the afterlife, if you believe it, it exists; if you don’t, it doesn’t. As time goes by, two identical flowers will appear in the world. After thousands of years, one flower withers and the other blooms.
Hua Yunfei and Yaoguang, who are otherworldly and ethereal, have a destined fate and a helpless and unbreakable life.
The Void Emperor was no less powerful than anyone else throughout his life. He spent his entire life suppressing the dark turmoil. In the end, the starry sky was stained with blood, and half of the broken mirror was buried in the void.
The peerless God King Jiang Taixu, fought fiercely in the God City, and walked away alone, holding his cold beauty. He returned at the Yaochi All Races Conference, shocking all races. His white clothes were stained with blood, and his peerless piano music moved the heavens.
Emperor Wu Shi, who is the peak at the end of the immortal road? Once you see Wu Shi, the road becomes empty!
The ruthless emperor does not seek to become an immortal, but only to wait for you to return in this mortal world.
There were too many of them, the old madman, the human demon, and Gai Jiuyou who shouted, "Who dares to fight me?", all ended in utmost glory at the last moment of their lives.
…
All in all, "The Great Ruler" is a true classic fantasy novel. The characters in it have left a deep impression on me. I even hope that [Nan Gezi] can write a "The Great Ruler" trilogy. For example, the story of "Emperor Huang Tian" is also very interesting, isn't it?
The comments published by [Later Years Unknown] received support and likes from many "Nan fans". They also felt that "The Great Ruler" was not exciting enough, and its grand world view did support the author to write a trilogy.
But Gu Qingge obviously will not write another trilogy. She wrote "The Great Ruler" because she happened to draw a work card.
Moreover, this work can indeed significantly increase the traffic of "Qidian".
However, Gu Qingge used the name [Nan Gezi] to make a statement, saying that "The Great Ruler" is completely open to fan fiction copyright, and anyone can write a story about it.
As a result, fan stories about "The Great Ruler" emerged like mushrooms after rain, and the best ones were "Perfect World" and "Sacred Ruins".
