Chapter 402 No Longer Short
The reader base of the Nan Gezi version of "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" in this world is undoubtedly very large.
Because this myth, which has been magically modified into a prehistoric setting, is the work of Nan Gezi after "The Great Ruler".
The terrifying popularity of "The Great Ruler" has been mentioned before. This epic work, which has at least 20,000 words updated every day and was finally completed with 4 million words, can be said to be a benchmark work in the field of fantasy and immortal heroes in this world!
"Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" undoubtedly inherited the popularity of "The Great Ruler", and its style in the first 500,000 words is also consistent, that is, it is grand and majestic, the fighting scenes are very vividly depicted, and the imagination is extremely rich.
All of these things have made "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" a representative work in the mythology genre. After it, many popular dramas with famous mythological characters as protagonists have followed suit, including those with Erlang Shen as the protagonist, some with Sun Wukong as the protagonist, and even some with Tang Monk as the protagonist, except that Tang Monk has become a warrior monk.
Many popular authors have naturally discovered that this writing method of reinterpreting new plots with existing mythological characters as the protagonists is still very pleasing, because it is also equivalent to fan fiction writing. Some readers are very unhappy with the practices of some original mythological characters, and if the author corrects their practices and meets the readers' expectations, then of course he will gain the support of the readers.
"Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" has undoubtedly met the readers' expectations in the first 500,000 words. In the words of some loyal fans of this book, it has portrayed Erlang Shen Yang Jian to the extreme, and no other work about Erlang Shen will be able to reach its height.
In addition, its illustrations are also perfectly coordinated, and the image of Erlang Shen in the illustrations is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The only thing that makes many readers feel a little dissatisfied is probably its update. Old readers who have followed "The Great Ruler" have all joked -
"[Nan Gezi], it seems like there's no gas left in your tank. You only write 6,000 words a day, and you're just squeezing toothpaste out of it?"
"I'm used to the 20,000-word daily updates, but now the pace is so slow, it's really frustrating!"
"The writing and plot are as good as ever, and the imagination is explosive, but why are the updates so lame..."
"One person wrote in blood, hoping that Teacher [Nan Gezi] would update fifty chapters a day. Okay, don't be lazy!"
"Anyway, I still prefer "The Great Ruler". Back then, 20,000 words a day was really exciting. Now this book is getting shorter every day, so I can only keep it for a few more days before killing it all at once."
…
Chen Binghai is one of the old readers of "The Great Ruler" who makes fun of Nan Gezi's work, which is updated in short pieces every day.
He is a senior this year. This is his fourth year in college, and he knows everything. Basically, he doesn't have any classes, especially in the next semester after the winter vacation, so he can go out for an internship.
Chen Binghai actually also had a dream. He only went to a very ordinary second-tier university, and his major was not good. He just muddled through his four years in college. He would fail every exam and then have to rely on make-up exams to pass it.
He spends all his time on writing.
Nowadays, "Qidian" is becoming more and more famous, and many writers with dreams have plunged into this online writing website.
Originally, if they submitted their works to magazines, they would not be favored by the editors at all. After being rejected many times, they would naturally become discouraged and no longer pursue this line of work.
The emergence of "Qidian" has undoubtedly lowered this threshold.
As long as it is gold, it will always shine. At "Qidian", as long as it is interesting, even if it has not been signed yet, it can be seen by readers because of big data. Then, the high-quality ones will naturally have better and better data, and then they will naturally be successfully signed and put on the shelves.
As for those authors who have already made a name for themselves on this site, they will certainly be recommended as soon as they publish their books. However, if they cannot maintain the appeal of their works in the future, they may not be as good as those new authors who rely on inspiration to write books.
Chen Binghai is certainly talented in writing. Because he loves Nan Gezi's "Zhan Tian", the first work he wrote is also a fantasy fairy tale type work, and the name of the work is "Ling Tian".
This is obviously a work that follows the trend of "The Great Ruler", but Chen Binghai also has his own things on the basis of following the trend, so the performance of this work is quite good, allowing him to earn his own living expenses when he was in college.
As for Nan Gezi's current work "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East", he is undoubtedly following the updates. The more he reads, the more he likes it. He even thinks that he might as well write a myth in the next part. He can write a myth with "Lü Dongbin" as the protagonist. The mythological characters such as "Eight Immortals" are quite well-known.
After reading Nan Gezi's updates every day, Chen Binghai would comment in his posts that the other party was short. Fortunately, Nan Gezi's writing was not watery, otherwise six thousand words a day would not be enough!
In fact, Chen Binghai also hopes that [Nan Gezi] can be a little more watery. After all, it is a bit refreshing. If it is not a little more watery, it will always feel a little unsatisfied.
Nan Gezi's books are always full of practical information, following a plot-based style with the flavor of traditional writers, but they are still full of exciting moments.
When Chen Binghai wrote books, he always regarded Nan Gezi's works as teaching materials. He gradually transformed from a reader to an author. In addition to the fact that he loved reading since he was a child, Nan Gezi's "Zhan Tian" was undoubtedly an important opportunity.
"The Great Ruler" was so passionate and grand that he couldn't stop reading it. He felt that words alone could no longer satisfy his fantasies, and only by writing it himself could he soar freely in the virtual world.
On this day, after he updated his own, he of course went to watch "Life is Long and Hateful, Rivers Flow East" as usual.
When he clicked on the interface of this work and saw that its word count had reached one million, he was completely unable to believe it!
What shocked him even more was that the status of this work had changed from "serialized" to "completed"!
Chen Binghai was a little confused. What was going on? He had only been working on the book for two or three days. Why did this mythological book that created the prehistoric system end like this?
He clicked on the catalog of this work, then looked at the update time, and his eyes widened!
[Nan Gezi] Teacher actually released an update with so many words in one day and then finished this work directly?
He had been short for so long, and now he was growing taller all the way?
