Slaying the Dragon

It's a pain to admit that I've read exactly half of each of Ye Shen's books. Since my account was out of money, I started reading *Zhan Long* (斩龙). I started with the online game trilogy, *Tianxia Wushuang* (天下无双). At first glance, who were "Dongli Huoguo" (动力火锅), "Qingkuang Shusheng" (轻狂书生), and "Qingcai Baiyu Tang" (青菜白玉汤)? And what was "Qixing Deng" (七星灯)? Later, I happened to have a monthly subscription for VIP chapters and read half of it. When the subscription expired, I went to read the pirated version of *Shenhua* (神话), and suddenly realized who "Qingcai Baiyu Tang" and "Dongli Huoguo" were! But who was "Qingkuang Shusheng"? When I ran out of money again, I went to read *Zongheng Tianxia* (纵横天下). When I reached VIP, I was out of money again, so I read *Zhan Long*. Although I haven't read all of them, each protagonist has similarities and differences, and Ye Shen brings unique innovations to each book, making them refreshing. Compared to many authors who stick to the same formula for years, he must have put in a lot of hard work. Ye Shen has created countless legends in the world of game novels. Regardless of what readers think of Ye Shen's writing, please don't belittle him. Ye Shen is more than a year older than me, so his life experience must be very rich, and he must be a very mature person (despite his various bromances with Xiami on Weibo). So don't misunderstand Shilu Ye based on any one-sided opinions. While I can't say I was the most dedicated writer, I was certainly among the most dedicated. Every author makes mistakes, especially in long novels. For example, I've forgotten how many moves my protagonist's main cultivation technique has (go back and check). For a dedicated author, regardless of your opinion, if you like it, offer support and praise. If you're dissatisfied, please remain silent. Whether you continue reading or close the page is your choice, because you have no right to criticize or even berate a dedicated author for poor writing, as it represents a lot of their effort. I think Ye Shen and other authors would be happy to accept suggestions, but I hope that insults and abuse will disappear. Do you know how serious the taxation is on royalties? Normally, the tax starts at 3,500 yuan, but the tax on writing hasn't changed in over thirty years, still starting at 800 yuan. I don't know how much Ye Shen earns now, but at least Ye Shen started with zero royalties. When he had a little royalties, he still had to pay taxes. Even today, Ye Shen continues to innovate and put in the effort. Doesn't such an author deserve everyone's respect?

It's past 4 AM now. I forgot my keys last night, so I browsed the internet at the pharmacy, reading your *Zhanlong* comic, forum, and book reviews. I have so many thoughts. Yes, I'm Chen Haohao, the one who only wrote about 300 words out of 600 for my adult college entrance exam essay (I'm Chen Haohao, the "Water King" of the online game *Fengwu Tianjiao* forum, a water king who usually posts nonsense but always fails at crucial moments). Of course, I wish I could write even one ten-thousandth as well as you. Actually, I'm the same age as you and have been following your work for quite a while, especially your trilogy + *Dou Shen*. Recently, some readers have had some opinions about *Zhanlong*, even saying some extreme things, but you still insist on writing every day because you know there are many people like me waiting for your updates every day. We all know it's not easy for you. I even read all of your works from chapter 500 onwards to the latest update after taking the pharmacist's license exam at the end of October. Now I wait for your updates every day. We all know you work hard at writing, and many fans have been supporting you. The target audience for online novels is mostly students and online gamers, and perhaps most of them are too busy to truly support you. But we are sincerely grateful to you for providing us with spiritual nourishment. I now give you 7 flowers every day, check in daily, and follow you on WeChat. If I pass the pharmacist's license exam in December (it's said that you can get 20,000+ RMB a year by registering at a pharmacy without having to work), I'll make up for it with the ticket. After all, I feel ashamed after reading so many of your works. I'm very pleased that your "Zhanlong" comic has been published. It's already in its 11th installment, and I've seen the latest one. The comic is well done, but the updates are a bit slow. I can understand that comics are drawn, unlike handwritten ones (though handwritten ones aren't easy either). I'm also angry to see some people complaining about the slow updates and even resorting to insults. I also feel that using comics to express your work, Zhanlong, means that many of the brilliant or humorous moments can't be shown. It's already difficult for a comic to convey even 60% of the meaning of your work. Actually, when I read your work, I imagine the scenes that unfold in your writing. What I really want is for those scenes to be presented in an animated series, or even a TV drama—how exhilarating that would be! (Although some scenes are impossible to film, such as a national war with tens of millions of people). If it could be made into a TV series or movie, I think the effect would be great, at least the box office would be good. I think a successful example is (I Am MT), I've watched all seasons of it. If your work, Zhanlong, had a team like that to help you produce an animated series, I think the effect would be good. I can't say it would be like (Naruto—although I haven't watched it, my nephew loves it), but at least your future would be smooth sailing. It's really not easy for you to conceive the work, constantly innovate, and write all by yourself. If you had a team to advise you, market your work, and handle packaging and promotion, you would at least achieve twice the results with half the effort. The imagination is rich, but reality is often harsh. You are a talented person, just lacking a discerning eye. I truly hope your work can be adapted into an animated series; I guarantee it will be very successful. At the very least, someone will definitely want to sign you for an animated series based on "Battle God." And I'll let my son, Chen Jiujin (born naturally), watch your masterpiece. I'll tell him that these are all the works of an uncle named Lost Leaf. (This is the first time I've written so much rambling; Leaf probably won't see it.)

Let Canxue judge right and wrong. The changes in these chapters were truly unexpected. Lost Leaf must have put in a lot of effort, meticulously sketching the image of Strawberry, creating a hidden inner world, and completely destroying the previous image in one fell swoop—it was truly ingenious. Regarding the plot, Canxue noticed a few points. First, the fall of Dragon City was likely orchestrated by Matcha. Matcha's strategic brilliance on a small scale is unparalleled; if she's not mistaken, Matcha was involved in the conspiracy to kidnap Owen from the Boss. Then, she led troops to pursue Owen, drove Xiaoyao and his group to Dragon City, used Yin Ge to attack Dragon City, and then exploited trust to seize the city. If this series of schemes was indeed designed by Matcha, it's incredibly ingenious, practically divine calculation. Actually, there's another possibility: Matcha was waiting for an opportunity, a chance to repay Fang Geque's favor. This brings us to Matcha himself. Public opinion is currently overwhelmingly against him; nine out of ten people are criticizing Matcha while the rest are just ignoring him. But if you really think like that, you'll never reach the level of Li Xiaoyao (a character from a popular Chinese novel). Xiaoyao doesn't care about Dragon City. Given his personality, he would definitely trade Dragon City for Matcha. Xiaoyao's anger stems from Fang Geque using a favor to put Matcha caught between the Dragon Slayer and the Myth. With Xiaoyao's strong sense of masculinity, he'd hold up the sky if it fell, but he couldn't bear to see Matcha torn between the old and new masters, suffering the bitterness of being an undercover agent. It must be said that the characterization of Lost Leaf is superb, bringing both Xiaoyao and Matcha to life. From Li Xiaoyao's perspective, Matcha played a crucial role in conquering the world for Fang Geque during the Conquest Era, but left him during the Destiny Era due to unresolved reasons. My guess is that perhaps Matcha wanted to leave Mythology, but needed to agree to a condition set by Fang Geque. Alternatively, after leaving, Matcha found Xiaoyao and his group, and was subsequently found by Fang Geque. We see Matcha but not Xiaoyao. If Xiaoyao left Mythology and transformed into Matcha, wouldn't that be a betrayal for Fang Geque? If Xiaoyao were still alive, Mythology would have been absolutely dominant in the WCG. If Xiaoyao were still alive, how could she, with her unparalleled skill in both martial arts and literature, tolerate Wen Jian's cold sword piercing the Central Plains? Mythology without Xiaoyao couldn't compete with the Dragon-Slaying Edge of Matcha, which in itself was a betrayal for Fang Geque. In this situation, Matcha would surely feel guilty. After meeting Fang Geque, perhaps knowing she would let everyone down, she passed on the Intercepting Meridian Flow to Xiaoyao. Perhaps out of remorse, she poured her heart and soul into crafting the Dragon Slayer. It could be said that what Matcha did for the Dragon Slayer far exceeded what could have been a Dragon City. She did all this simply to find a sliver of solace in her heart. After all that, Matcha is ultimately a woman. I don't know if she had feelings for Xiaoyao, but she's also emotional. She knows who treats her well, and she's not indifferent, unlike characters in Infernal Affairs who think, "I'm a good person, so killing you is perfectly justified." She must be in a lot of pain, otherwise she wouldn't have said, "Forget Matcha, let me turn back into a little demon." The reason she's so sad is because she betrayed those who loved her. She didn't know how to face it, so she chose to delete her account. Love and loyalty cannot coexist, and Matcha chose loyalty. It was precisely her choice that allowed Zhanlong to truly shine. This can be seen as a transformation for Zhanlong, and also a long-awaited explosion of talent from Lost Leaf. If the book had continued along its original trajectory, sweeping all before it could turn the tide with a single, crucial mission, then I could only lament that Lost Leaf had lost his touch. This chapter, however, definitively declares that Lost Leaf's skill remains undiminished, and he is confident he can fight ten battles in a single night. Finally, let's guess whether Li Xiaoyao will take over Dragon City? I doubt it. If he accepted it, he wouldn't be Li Xiaoyao.

I've always felt that writing is the best way to reveal a person's inner qualities. Without those qualities, no amount of fabrication can create such a vivid image. Brother Ye, I believe you. If you really lack character as Hei says, how could your characters like Xiaoyao, Xiaochen, and Shusheng be so kind? If you really lack character as Hei says, why do your conflicts and wars so subtly convey a sense of helpless yet unwavering justice? Brother Ye, you have no idea how much I've been influenced by your novels over the past three years. When I read other online game novels, I unconsciously compare them to yours, and then I feel that the plots of others aren't as funny as yours, or the funny ones aren't as delicate, and the delicate ones aren't as grand… Okay, anyway, it's because of your books that I don't like other online game novels anymore! TAT I've read *Zongheng* more than ten times… *Wushuang* five or six times… Could you please speed up *Zhanlong*?! What moved me most was that a couple of days ago, a friend was hosting a concert on YY and asked for help registering accounts. Everyone created a bunch of alternate accounts, and then we were all dumbfounded—we couldn't come up with any names! I don't know how I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: Hellfire, Kissing Moon, Ghost Valley… Okay, instantly, dozens of accounts all had unique names… This is a kind of fondness I didn't even know existed. I could naturally remember so many characters, and then, looking at that magnificent row of alternate accounts, I couldn't stop the tears. A series of wonderful scenes began to intertwine in my mind, and at the same time, the emotions I felt when I first read the chapters began to awaken. Perhaps because I've been reading for so long, I've long forgotten the initial thrill of reading. I've been lost for too long, but I can never forget the feeling of first encountering a book I love. Words are too inadequate; I don't even know how to express what I want to say. Anyway, it's just this: Brother Ye, please keep going! At least I'm still here!

We're collecting all sorts of interesting names for skills, attack effects, hidden classes, weapons, and equipment! Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas for Slaying Dragon! [Excited]

The cold reception "Slaying the Dragon" receives is undoubtedly related to those who criticize Ye Zi. I admire Ye Zi's ability to quietly continue writing. Unconsciously, reading Ye Zi's novels has become a part of my life. Although Ye Zi doesn't write three or four chapters a day like some others, writing at least 6,000 words a day is already quite difficult. People who haven't tried writing novels might not know this. Hehe, Yezi might not see these words, but I still couldn't help writing them down. Seeing her work treated this way must be heartbreaking for her. I haven't been to any forums about Yezi, so I haven't seen what those people who criticize her are saying. But seeing the popularity of "Zhanlong" declining day by day really makes me feel bad. Perhaps Yezi hasn't given up on "Zhanlong" because tens of thousands of readers are still waiting for updates. Finally, I'd like to offer 100 VIP tickets. I know this won't change anything, it's just that my abilities are limited, and I hope Yezi won't think it's too few. Top Leaf, you'll always be a gaming legend! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody's writing new books anymore; even Lost Leaf has abandoned his project.
