Help, the Demon King I Raised Is About to Overthrow Me

Even with nearly 10,000 books sold, they can't survive. Pineapple Bun has suppressed its own strengths; let's see how it competes with other websites.

Your mindset wasn't good enough. It's not that your performance was bad. Your previous novel, *The Beast*, had 5 million views, and now with 200,000 words and only 400,000 views, you were still happy writing it. 190,000 Words and 600,000 views isn't bad either. The main problem is what you said before: you wouldn't write if the performance was bad. I stopped reading after that because I'd been following your *Su Tong* novel. You stopped writing one of your more successful novels, so I knew you'd have a hard time continuing if the performance wasn't particularly good. I put it on hold, and I was right. The worst thing you could have done was write an author's note saying it was abandoned because of poor performance. And *The Swing*, which was released a week earlier than yours, already has over 50 chapters...

It's been a month since we last met, and it's all over. What a shame. Political and economic topics are indeed difficult to write about; without a certain level of practical security and passionate ideals, there's no chance of success.

The poor sales performance actually has little to do with the "moe" (cute/ideal) aspect of the book. The main issue is its slow pacing; it's best read in long, continuous blocks. Following the updates feels disjointed and unengaging. After reading over 100,000 words, it feels like the story hasn't even begun. Many readers probably decided to wait for a more coherent plot before continuing, resulting in lower subscriptions. However, the high number of monthly votes indicates that readers still appreciate the book.

The problem with this book, well, it falls into the common trap of online novels: the pacing is too slow and there's too little conflict. The first volume should be kept under three chapters and under 10,000 words. Don't think this is a demanding requirement; just look at how many words a printed book actually has. Asking online novelists to speed up the pace is simply a reasonable way to curb their uncontrollable urge to pad the story.

I was wondering where Li Tongren had gone after all this time? I didn't expect her new book to not only launch but also be canceled! Come back here! 😭😭

I still can't forget this book, that distant, dark, and drizzly world. When I'm rich, I'll definitely hire someone to continue writing it! 😭😭

Does anyone know where the author is now? I really love this type of book. Could you let me know if they've switched platforms?

That's it... Because the author was starving. Please support an author with actions if you like them; authors are living, breathing people who also need to eat.

Isn't this picture of cats facing off...?
