From Lord to King

Bro, after reading your acceptance speech for your failed attempt at winning an award, I have a bold idea. You could really write about the daily life of a struggling author. There would definitely be readers for that kind of urban life, because there are so many struggling authors on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform), and other readers want to see what struggling authors are like. 🤓 What do you fellow cultivators think?

Is this a repeat of the previous version of the Dragon's defeat? But it's still watchable.

The whole thing was awkward; it was clearly a Western title, but they used an Eastern name, making it completely uninspiring.

Improvement report. I've been learning writing techniques lately, and I've only scratched the surface, but the revisions are passable. These first few chapters have become my testing ground. I will revise them again as my skills improve.

A low-budget version where the dragon dies? The main character is unlikable!

I know why nobody's reading this; it's neither Western nor Chinese in the traditional sense. The protagonist is like a mama's boy. If the first few chapters aren't well-written, nobody will keep reading.

What I hate most is when the main character is written to be too lazy; it's just annoying to read.

There's no need to copy the Elf Bug.

I'm speechless. If you're going to write a knightly novel, don't force it into ancient Chinese settings. It's really awkward to read. I won't even mention the plagiarism. I was reading a lord-themed novel, and now they're going on an adventure again. Isn't a mid-level knight afraid of getting killed? The previous text said at least a Great Earth Knight would be going out. Now a mid-level knight has gone out and gotten killed.

What?! Too lazy! Uncomfortable to read! I'm abandoning this project.
