The most difficult genre to write is the "Great Dao" fanfiction. The power levels in the mid-to-late game are too high, and the original author has essentially blocked fanfiction altogether. What you perceive as rebirth, transmigration, cheat codes, systems, or a personal grandpa—others are completely unaware of these things. In reality, to those with a higher level of understanding, it's as clear as reading the lines on their palm.
No wonder your previous books didn't do well. Although they were better than many authors, your writing style was really bad... Aside from learning the flowery language of those "Great Dao Contest" authors, you haven't learned any of his attention to detail, sentence fluency, conciseness, or ability to summarize complex content in simple terms.
Actually, the template for "The Great Way" should be a very enjoyable story from the start, featuring the direct descendant of the Chen family, with abundant resources and a protagonist with a huge cheat ability. So why is he being suppressed? I don't understand... Chen Taiping is still alive, so why is the family falling apart?
It's a waste of your writing skills to write fanfiction. You could use his setting to write a fantasy/xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) story.
That's ridiculous. A dual-grade Golden Core cultivator in both the Dao and Qi cultivation paths, participating in the Top Ten Disciples competition and filling over ten chapters with nonsense. Your opponent used supernatural powers, and you've even cultivated them, yet you still got completely overwhelmed. You're exaggerating the abilities of a Grade One Golden Core cultivator.
That's interesting.
The beauty of this book is that you can skip through a dozen pages and still not see any problems. It still flows smoothly. Author, are you using a alternate account from "Paper Clouds and Smoke"? Your writing style looks so familiar. 🙂
Combat experience
Recently, the author has been focusing on how much combat experience the protagonist gained from traveling back in time to slay demons and monsters. However, when they actually engage in combat, all they do is smash their opponent's face with mystic light, and double mystic light shatters triple mystic light. Is this the combat experience the protagonist brought back from tens of thousands of years ago? Boring and dull
King of Water!!!
It's all filler, with random, inexplicable padding everywhere. It's an old problem of the author's; every book is like this. If it weren't for this bad habit, several of the author's books wouldn't be doing this well now. Why ruin all the fans and goodwill just to add a few more chapters?
A pill-making gathering, ten days, ten chapters and still not finished, and basically no plot, just a bunch of descriptions. Your writing should serve the plot! To be honest, my patience is wearing thin.
Shennong is here
The author used highly toxic methods to screen readers before publishing; that's all I wanted to say.
