The Great Dao Is Flawed

Two books in a row didn't suit my taste. Have I changed?

Watch as the author's protagonist evolves from chaotic evil to chaotic neutral and finally to good and lawful.

What's so great about the Joker? The more you talk about how charismatic he is, the more inexplicable the character seems.

Why do I feel like the author's writing is getting worse and worse? Other authors' books get better as they go on, but this author's first book is the best, and then it gets increasingly unreadable. Even if you just maintain a consistent style like Gun Kai, it shouldn't be like this.

The main appeal of reading "Waste Paper's" books lies in his boundless imagination—a quality many authors lack. Many authors endlessly repeat the same formula, like a certain rolling doll or a certain skeleton. Waste Paper's weakness is that his writing skills don't quite match his imagination; he struggles to capture the soul of his characters and lacks appeal.

With such broad knowledge and writing skills comparable to plagiarists, how come you can't tell a story? Even fantasy novels need to progress from simple to complex. You've started with all sorts of "heart" cultivation, like heart elixirs and conceptual tower ascents… it's all too abstract. That's better suited for later.

Hello author, I've read many of your books without much commentary, but when I read your discussions about the pressures of family life and the relationship between writing and writing, I realized you might be experiencing some cognitive biases. I'm writing this down for your reference. The novel has flaws, but its writing is excellent and the premise is novel, which are its strengths.

I'm here! Let me start with a 10,000-view column. Feel free to leave a comment!

If you really want to make money, write more. Anyone who tells you to take your time writing is intentionally or unintentionally trying to trick you. Online novels often run to millions of words; it's impossible to write them word by word. Success hinges on three points: 1. An interesting story! 2. Mature writing style! 3. A sufficient number of updates!

Having read chapter 34, the author's argument revolves around "emotion," and while the writing is indeed quite strong and evocative, the excessive focus on "emotion" makes the reading experience uncomfortable. It gives the impression that all beings in the world, from heaven to earth, and from various realms, are creatures manipulated by "emotion," making them feel like puppets—uncomfortable.
