After reading about ten chapters, what I can't understand is... 1. How did the protagonist suddenly learn magic? He was dismissed as soon as he sensed the energy! Second: The protagonist gets caught up in the struggle between the master-disciple relationship and the aristocratic families.
The beginning was off-putting; there was too much internal monologue, and it was all bursting with negative energy. The protagonist showed absolutely no courage or determination to improve his cultivation.
I've only read the beginning of this book, and it seems similar to the "Battle of the Great Dao," but the author's writing style is still lacking. If you want to write a Xianxia novel, you should at least read a few volumes of the Daoist canon to enrich yourself first; otherwise, you won't be able to write it with that feel.
Nowadays, all novels feature protagonists with childlike mindsets, making them uninteresting to read. The protagonist in your book is very familiar yet stiff, mechanical, and soulless. Even the smooth-talking little shrew in the first chapter is better than the main character; she's clever and knows how to navigate social situations.
If my new book isn't released tonight, I'll switch to another website.
As the title suggests, an editor from another company came to personally recruit me, while here they shut down my book without even a word beforehand. I've never seen an editor like this before. I'm going to a place that will at least give me basic respect. Dear readers, if you want to read this book in the future, you can just search for the title on a search website. Please forgive me if this causes any inconvenience.
I haven't actually read a single word of this book 😅. I read some reviews and they weren't to my taste, so I was planning to leave. But the criticisms below are so accurate that I feel compelled to say a few words. This is the author's first book, and it's already 2.8 Million words long. If the author isn't a full-time writer, I suggest continuing until the end.
Alipay Red Packet Code (One-day validity period)
The casual player has kept their promise; please see the latest chapter for details on the red envelope. Twenty red envelopes, each worth five yuan, can give you a month's worth of free novel reading. Thank you for your support.
The introduction is impressive and catches the eye; then I glanced at the word count—wow, it's so long! And the comments? Just over three digits. Whether you delete the post or ban people, over three million words and less than five hundred comments—the results are rather underwhelming.
I've read over ten chapters. The writing is decent, but the story is terrible, especially compared to the writing. The reasons are twofold: firstly, the author's limited life experience prevents them from writing anything substantial; secondly, the author repeatedly emphasizes writing their own thoughts, implying the article isn't for elementary school students—this makes the author sound more…
I'm posting this to the author. Writing a novel isn't like writing a thesis or an expository text. The first two or three hundred chapters are fine, but the later chapters are entirely your own arguments or recounting the history of the Qi Clan. Remember, readers aren't here to read a history book. Also, don't inject too much of your own thought into your novel.
