The Boundless Sky

Sweeping the charts is more effective than playing the victim. It feels like you haven't read many of Qidian's books in the last two years. You completely don't understand what contemporary readers want to read. Take your opening titles like "God Emperor" and "God of War," for example—they're incredibly cringeworthy, just pure garbage for the readers.

The writing is outdated, the style hasn't improved much, it's too simplistic. It might have been okay in the past, but now everyone's writing is weird, the plot flows naturally, it's all about subtle pretentiousness. You're still using the same old formula, killing face-to-face, fighting in a ring, but your writing isn't as smooth, natural, or engaging as the current stuff. How can you compare to others?

It seems like you don't read web novels anymore. There's nothing shameful about learning from others. Just focus on getting a decent degree, and then try to find your footing while you write. Don't editors even bother to read your work?

Here's a suggestion... You should go back and look at those two or three books that did well before, pick up the outline, change the title, and basically rewrite it yourself. It's unlikely to be a huge hit, but it should be enough to make a living. There's nothing shameful about that. Take Potato, for example; he plagiarized himself.

Dear Chocolate, as a long-time reader, to be honest, I wasn't very interested after reading the synopsis and table of contents 😭. You're 35 now, and I'm not young either; people change. I'm not very interested in this kind of "rags-to-riches" story where the protagonist starts strong but ends up as a nobody.

Can you still eat?

EK... You might feel very disappointed right now, but there are still readers who are quietly watching over you, hoping you can regain your divine status and live a second life. I recently saw a movie line that I think is very fitting for you: "Nobody believed I could return to my peak, but I could." Come on.

Don't expert players usually introduce their stories through events? I thought they were newbies.

Your writing is really bad, I can't keep up, bro, it's so embarrassing.

... Isn't this a bit too old-fashioned? It looks so strange; this is a formula from so many years ago.
