Chapter 109 Continuing to Rank on the Reward List
Chapter 109
The pace of online literature is generally recognized to be fast. If the title and copywriting of the golden three chapters do not meet the requirements, readers will abandon the author.
Even if the author is a great writer, if the new article does not meet expectations, its ranking on the list will be quite embarrassing.
"The King of the Talent Show" quickly climbed to the top of the new book list shortly after it was released. Even "The Concubine", which was generally recognized to have mediocre performance at the beginning, did not perform badly on the new book list.
As for "The Wind Rises in the Green Duckweed", it is visibly seen that its growth on the new book list is limited.
Of course, the label of "New Teriyaki Chicken Legs" has brought "The Wind Rises in the Sky" a level of attention that other works rarely get. To sum up, there is only one reason why the article's performance is not good -
【It doesn’t look good. 】
[Teriyaki chicken legs finally overthrew Qiao Da, but I feel that the era of teriyaki chicken legs is almost over. 】
[I bet here that "The Wind Rises in the Sky" will only hover in the top five of the Golden Charts at best, and there is absolutely no chance of it ranking first.]
The storm is of course temporary, but for an article, once it is labeled as "not good to read", the number of readers paying attention to it will naturally decrease.
Many readers may be interested in "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping", but once they hear the three words "not good to read" on Starnet or from other readers, they will stay away from "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping".
This is the reader's habit.
The opposite example of "The King of the Talent Show" is "The King of the Talent Show". The data in the early stage of "The King of the Talent Show" was far inferior to that in the later stage. However, it was the readers who had read it who kept recommending this article, which attracted more and more readers to join, and the article became more and more popular.
Shi Juan noticed that the first two chapters of "The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" had the most clicks, and readers were obviously coming for the "new article about teriyaki chicken legs". From the third chapter onwards, the clicks began to decline, but... by the seventh and eighth chapters, the clicks on "The Wind Rises in the Green Duck" gradually stabilized.
It’s just not as good as “The King of the Talent Show”.
Compared with the works of other authors, the performance of "The Wind Rises in the Sky" is definitely not bad.
Shi Juan's gaze fell on the line "at most hovering in the top five on the gold list".
The top five on the gold list are at least the top five serialized articles of the same period. Isn’t this achievement something to be proud of?
He is so tolerant towards other authors, but so harsh on Teriyaki Chicken Legs. The top five on the gold list are all big failures. Shi Juan couldn't help but sigh, doesn't this mean that Teriyaki Chicken Legs is super awesome?
…
Regardless of the external feedback, "The Wind Rises in the Sky" is still being serialized as normal.
In the previous chapters, the protagonist Xiao Nian is indeed not a very likable character. He is not even as courageous as his girlfriend Liang Wan. But after witnessing Liang Wan's death and the wailing in Puzhou City, he chose to stay.
Death made him grow.
His parents and brothers all left Puzhou, but he insisted on staying because he had infinite hatred in his heart.
He gradually realized that in this era, it was useless to escape anywhere.
The shadow of war always loomed over his head. Even if he could escape to America, he would have no one to support him.
The newspapers have said that he is in a weak country and he is a citizen of a weak country.
Xiao Nian was still timid at this time, but he didn't want to watch Liang Wan die without doing anything. Liang Wan had said that he was a coward, but... if the other person's soul could see, he wanted to change and become a brave man.
Xiao Nian buried Liang Wan and Liang Wan's mother.
After his parents and brother left, the Xiao family's property also belonged to Xiao Nian.
The R people broke in.
Because Xiao Nian was educated, even if the Xiao family withdrew, the old house and many properties were still in Puzhou. Once the machines were turned on, profits would still come in. Not everyone in Puzhou City could escape. Even in hell, there were still people struggling to survive.
For Xiao Nian, getting through it was difficult and meant that he had to overcome his own nature.
…
As a loyal reader of Teriyaki Chicken Legs, Shi Juan suddenly realized that he had read the tenth chapter of "The Wind Rises in the Green Duckweed" with great gusto.
He even went back and reread Chapters 9 and 10.
The stories about Teriyaki Chicken Legs always gave him a sense of comfort, but this one, "The Wind Rises and the Green Duckweed", was a bit heavier. To be precise, compared with the protagonists of the other three stories with male protagonists, the character Xiao Nian seemed unable to face the storms alone.
In "Infinite World", Sun Wukong was almost eaten, but he grew up rapidly and passed one unimaginable level after another.
In the previous chapters, Xiao Nian gave Shi Juan a very soft feeling.
But in Chapter 9, or to be exact, starting from Chapter 10, Xiao Nian woke up.
Shi Juan didn’t like the first few chapters very much, not entirely because of the character of the protagonist, but because the scenes presented in "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" were too cruel - for Xiao Nian, Liang Wan, who was important to him, died, and on that day, or to be more precise, that week in Puzhou City, some people lost their parents, some lost their close friends, some lost their children, and some... watched young children being thrown to death, the fire torturing them wantonly, and the crazy laughter of the R people accompanied it.
It's too heavy.
At that moment, everyone hoped that a hero would drop from the sky, but no, the hero did not come.
You can only choose to be a hero.
The cowardly and weak Xiao Nian is gone.
On the contrary, he became alert, buried the secret deep in his heart, dealt with the R countrymen during the day, and found out all the secrets he could. He was flattering and cruel to his countrymen, and became a capitalist who was only interested in making a fortune.
While in places where no one could see, he would try his best to find out all the secrets and then pass the information on.
It's like dancing on the edge of a knife.
Shi Juan has been following "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping River". After the tenth chapter, the whole story turned upside down.
In terms of excitement, "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" is naturally not as good as "The Infinite World". "The Infinite World" has seemingly difficult-to-breakthrough dilemmas and players dying one after another, but "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" gave Shi Juan the strongest fear.
Yes, horror.
Every day, someone dies.
There are people like Xiao Nian, who were tortured, experienced unbearable pain and were then executed, or watched their loved ones die and chose to betray.
Once betrayed, more people will die.
There is no peace around.
Even when you are asleep, you must keep the secret. Even if you are drunk or dreaming, you cannot reveal a single word.
At this moment, safety becomes the most precious resource.
The enemies were cruel and cunning; even though they were human, Shi Juan felt that they had gone beyond the realm of cruelty.
Although this was not a story that happened in the Blue Galaxy, Shi Juan still felt extremely uncomfortable.
Now he understood why there was such a long foreshadowing in the first few chapters of "The Wind Rises and the Green Weeds".
Xiao Nian has to grow up after all.
If he were living in a peacetime, his cowardice would allow him to live a stable life. He might not become a great person, but he could live a peaceful life.
But he did not live in a peaceful era.
Even...he won't have much time to grow.
Xiao Nian now lives on the edge of a knife.
…
Shi Juan paid special attention to the data of "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping". The vigorous ridicule at the beginning of the article had dissipated by then, but many readers were indeed scared away. The data in the following chapters gradually stabilized, but it was not very high.
But at this time, Shi Juan felt that the foreshadowing in the first few chapters of "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" was necessary.
No one is born to be an intelligence expert. If they live in a peaceful world, do not face separation of life and death overnight, everyone around them is still alive, and everyone lives a happy life, what is the use of Xiao Nian's "wisdom"?
He doesn't need to grow up at all, and he doesn't need to lick blood on the tip of a knife.
The person who was wrong was not Xiao Nian.
He can be whoever he wants to be, even if he is not great or a little cowardly.
It was the invaders who were wrong.
Shi Juan sighed deeply.
He will definitely continue to follow "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping River".
However, he did not have a strong desire to recommend this article, because he was feeling a little heavy at the moment, and his mind was filled with wanting to know Xiao Nian's ending.
"The Wind Rises in the Sky" has the label of "sadomasochism", and the ending... will it be a tragedy?
This is different from the feeling that "Palace Concubine" gave him.
But Shi Juan vaguely felt that if "Palace Concubine" had a happy ending, Shen Fangyi, who had this happy ending, would not necessarily be happy. And if "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" had a bad ending, in the end, Xiao Nian might not be unhappy, right?
There will definitely be a bright ending in the end, a bright ending for everyone.
…
Shi Juan was feeling that the plot of "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" was getting more and more exciting, but it still took a long time for "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" to reach the top of the new book list, and this was under the premise that the previous work had a good reputation.
Shi Juan glanced at the bottom of the new book list. Xue Wu’s new book "Tiny Moonlight" was already climbing the list. Karaen was also very motivated. Shi Juan had seen the other party’s promotion on the Star Network homepage.
As for the teriyaki chicken legs, they remain on hold.
"The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" is being updated as usual, and the update volume is not too small. No matter what the outside world says about "the new article is not good", he always remains indifferent.
Shi Juan thought about it and it made sense. The author has his own creative rhythm, and it is not a good thing to be easily disrupted.
Although he had doubts about the performance of "The Wind Rises in the Sky", after reading it chapter by chapter, Shi Juan felt that "The Wind Rises in the Sky" would eventually exceed his expectations.
Because Teriyaki Chicken Legs knows exactly what readers want to see.
Thinking of this, Shi Juan silently gave a reward to "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping".
He clicked on the reward list by the way.
It has to be said that "The King of Talent Show" is worthy of being the number one on the current gold list. Even though the series has been completed for a long time, it is still on the weekly list.
But the ranking of "The Wind Rises in the Sky" is lower.
The weekly reward list shows the top 15 articles in terms of rewards. "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping" is currently ranked 13th, and the gap between it and 15th is not far, so it will be easily surpassed. Xue Wu's "The Tiny Moon" is currently ranked 3rd on the reward list. The only articles above this one are "The King of the Talent Show" and another gold list article.
Shi Juan didn’t think it was a big deal, he thought “The Wind Rises in the Sky” was very good, and there was nothing he could do about the poor performance, so he just accepted it.
Who can guarantee that the book is hot? Teriyaki chicken legs are not gods.
He will always support teriyaki chicken drumsticks anyway.
But in the eyes of others, the ranking on the reward list is typical evidence of the "decline" of Teriyaki Chicken Legs, and "The Wind Rises in the Sky" will become the first flop of Teriyaki Chicken Legs.
