Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 222: The Internet Literature Explosion

In fact, Li Yan expressed her understanding of this kind of comments. Positive reviews always emphasize "I only represent myself", but negative reviews like to bring their families along to be opinion leaders.

It's one thing to look at it, but if you really listen to it, there is only one way out, and that is death.

During this period of writing online articles, he also got to know a few online writers, but they didn't communicate much on a regular basis. Basically, they would chat for a while when they first met, and then they would just focus on writing their own books.

After just a few exchanges, Li Yan discovered that responding to readers' comments is indeed a major challenge and a hurdle that online writers must overcome.

The painful lessons are still vivid in my mind. A buddy wrote at his own pace and had an average subscription of 1,000. However, he was stimulated by the daily comments from a few anxious readers. He thought everyone was waiting to see the climax, so he forced himself to speed up and finish this paragraph.

In the end, the readers who were satisfied with the book left after reading it, while the other silent readers suddenly went crazy because of the originally gentle pace and gave up the book because they couldn't continue reading it. A good light-hearted and humorous love story was forced to be abandoned.

The author spoke with such anguish that he broke out in cold sweats when he saw readers say the word "rhythm". Li Yan could only say a few words to comfort him.

Another buddy of mine was writing an urban novel, in which the protagonist struggled to become a graphic designer. Two graphic design practitioners wrote more than ten long reviews on the book, saying that the software used by the protagonist was out of date, the price given was unrealistic, and if one did not understand the specific workload, one should not write it casually, etc. The author was scared and stopped thinking about the plot day by day, and devoted himself to cramming knowledge about the design industry.

As a result, the article was written in such detail that it even listed what software and functions were used, how long it took to complete each task. Book lovers who had previously remained silent said that they could not understand it and it was too watered down, and the subscription data plummeted.

However, the two professional players who spoke at length still believed that the protagonist's computer configuration was not stated. With the protagonist's financial resources at the time, he should not be able to afford a computer that could run those software.

Li Yan was frightened when he heard this. After all, he had almost been unable to sleep because of negative reviews.

I feel the same way. I feel the same way.

So he kept refreshing the book review section, but he didn't expect that this reader was still fighting against Mr. Shenxu in real time:

"What do my more than ten years of study experience tell me?"

"If reading books for more than a decade didn't teach you, you can't represent all readers?"

"Perhaps I can't represent it, so I paid 10000 points in exchange for my right to give my opinion. Who are you?"

Suddenly, several other comments appeared, basically complaining that this guy had never even heard of the name of Mr. Shenxu.

It seems that Li Yan is not the only one refreshing...

"So you're a rich guy. It's your business to get into the Gold Alliance. I see my fan value is also in the top 30. It's normal to make some requests, right?"

"Okay, I'll suggest that too. I'll let the author write according to his own ideas, not according to what you say. If the author changes according to your suggestion, and everyone is dissatisfied and abandons the book, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Young Master is awesome! Use magic to fight magic!"

"Young Master is defending his home turf. Let's see who dares to act wildly in his territory!"

Li Yan laughed and specially gave the young master a Q, telling him that there was no need to be too competitive and that he should just talk about reason.

The result was that person's reply: I think your opinions as a gold ally have already been raised a long time ago. Just because you are a gold ally, do you think you should keep giving suggestions to the author?

He quickly replied to Li Yan: Look, what's the point?

Then, "Excellent book recommendation: Thank you Mr. Shenxu for supporting "Nangong Shao Nian" with 1000000 Origin Coins and becoming the Silver Alliance Leader of this book!"

Kaiyuan was still broadcasting the data live, but suddenly everything went blank and the comments exploded again.

Mr. Shenxu’s reply to this brother was quickly praised by many people.

Amidst all the sudden comments such as "Young Master is awesome", "Young Master is generous", "I thought he recommended another book but it turned out to be this one, Young Master really loves it", etc., Li Yan still found the cause of this Silver Alliance:

"I've got the silver, a hundred times yours, can you give me some advice?"

Kinda fucking cool.

Later, the young master even responded in a discussion with others in the comment section:

"I told the author a long time ago to stick to my own way and refuse others who want to customize the plot for me, even if they are from the Gold Alliance. If they ask for customization, I will ask for no customization. I didn't expect this person to only pay 100 yuan, so I can only go up to Silver."

The focus of this traffic topic is different from the last time. After all, there are more old readers, and Li Yan did write a wonderful climax - it is even being updated, so the discussion content soon returned to the plot itself.

Li Yan originally wanted to give himself a silver alliance to help cheer him up, but he found that it was too difficult to give a reward on the spur of the moment. The operation was cumbersome and required a recharge card, so he had to give up.

Kaiyuan's news keeps coming: tomorrow is a recommendation, today there is another silver, you really understand the game! Is this Shenxu Gongzi your old reader?
Li Yan: This is my first time writing, where do the old readers come from?
Kaiyuan: I am convinced, really convinced. Let me toast you with three glasses of wine at the annual meeting.

Li Yan: It’s early this morning, aren’t you going to sleep?
Kaiyuan: Sleep, I refresh the data every ten seconds. I know what you are going to say next, you are a student and have to go to class, so you need to go to bed early, go ahead, I will help you keep watch.

Li Yan: I’m a student. Although I don’t have to go to class now, I still need to go to bed early.

Kaiyuan: The setting of not attending classes is too fake, so I suggest you use it with caution. Li Yan: I can control my scores as much as I want in the exams, and the school agrees that I can not attend classes.

Kaiyuan: Okay, okay, then why do you go to bed early?
Li Yan: Because I am the last disciple of the great painter, I will go to the big studio he gave me to paint tomorrow.

Kaiyuan: Okay, okay, you’re a junior high school student and you can just leave the school if you say so, right?

Li Yan: On the one hand, the studio is right across the school gate, and on the other hand, the teacher told the security guard that no matter where I am, the teacher will drive me to and from school when I go on long trips.

Kaiyuan couldn't stand it anymore: College bully, go to bed quickly and stop dreaming.

Well, the more real it is, the faker it sounds, right?

Li Yan waited until the early morning, but after refreshing the data for more than ten minutes, there was no shocking increase in the data - mainly because the Silver Alliance had reported a sharp increase before, and in comparison, the effect was indeed not outstanding at the beginning of the promotion.

So he went to sleep in a dull mood.

When Li Yan got up early the next morning, she was not in a hurry. She brushed her teeth and washed her face slowly. She even went to the balcony to enjoy the morning breeze and stretched while looking at the sky in the distance.

He waited until other roommates woke up one after another before turning on the computer - yes, he didn't even check his QQ on his phone.

As for why... maybe it's some inexplicable metaphysics, he is lowering his expectations.

Sure enough, QQ was flashing wildly, and Kaiyuan, Shenxu Gongzi and even Lin Zhiyuan had sent several messages.

Oh no, Kaiyuan has more than thirty...

First click on Lin Zhiyuan’s: Mr. Yan, I saw your cover on the homepage of Qiyuan!

Mr. Shenxu posted last night: There may be a lot of comments tomorrow morning, I have something to do and can’t read them, you can wait until I finish cleaning and talk to you.

Finally, Kaiyuan said: How the hell can you sleep? I'm going crazy at work!

The front is full of dazzling data and modal particles, and the screen is full of exclamation marks.

Li Yan: So...are you asleep?
Kaiyuan replied immediately: Did you participate in the World War in your previous life? How can you sleep like this? Go check out the popularity list, my great writer!

The popularity list is a comprehensive list of multi-dimensional data such as book subscriptions, collections, follow-up readings, recommendations, and comments. The books that rank at the top of this list are all the current best-selling books on Qiyuan Chinese Network.

Even if they are inflating the data, they will only inflate a small sub-category list, such as the recommendation list or subscription list. No one would be stupid enough to devote all efforts to inflating this big list.

The book ranked first on this list may not be the best book, but it must be the most popular book at a certain time.

The current number one spot belongs to "Nangong Boy" and belongs to Li Yan.

Li Yan was not ecstatic, but just smiled with relief, and his whole body relaxed.

Yes, it feels great. The word "first" always has a fatal attraction for him.

As for what Kaiyuan said, such as the number of new collections increased by 5,000 in six hours from early morning to six o'clock, and the total number of new additions in the book review area in six hours was the highest in the past month, these are not very important.

Li Yan calmly opened the comment section:
"A masterpiece. I have been following it. I am so happy after reading the last few chapters."

"I haven't read it for a while, and I thought the reviews were over-praising it, but after reading it, I found that people still don't praise it!"

Li Yan smiled and nodded.

"The book review section makes me tremble. Is it really that good? Then I'll take a good look."

"Dear old book friends, please don't spoil the content in the book review section. Can you please take care of the reading experience of new readers?"

"I'm setting up a forum for everyone. If you want to discuss the plot, come here and discuss it. Don't spoil the plot."

Li Yan happily replied to them with a brief "Thank you for your support".

"It's a product of hype. I read a few chapters and it's pretending to be profound but I still don't understand what it's saying."

Li Yan deleted and blocked the message with a smile.

There is no wavering in my heart, really.

Absolutely no hard talk.
