Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 108: Listing Comments
About to go live, just wanted to say a few words to everyone.
6.29 uploaded the first chapter, almost two months till today.
Initially, the motivation for writing this book was the fatigue of protagonists always causing trouble, and wanting to write about a different kind of protagonist.
Thus, "Daoist of Yellow Court" and Lu Qingfeng were created.
Before and after writing this book, the Demon Monk often pondered what he would do after having the Golden Finger.
The Demon Monk thought, if not necessary, he must play it safe until he has enough strength to step forward—
Show off and slap faces!
Display sanctity in public!
Travel everywhere!
Gather disciples!
All immortals come to court!
Just like what the Demon Monk wrote in the text, "Three million Sword Immortals in heaven, all must bow when they see me."
Then there's a chapter that states, "Do you enjoy bullying others so much?"
Haha.
I saw that in the middle of the night and almost didn't sleep from laughing too hard.
Indeed, each chapter's author is a master and genius.
However, at this stage, especially in reality, it's still about keeping a low profile.
But a novel relies on the plot.
How to write if always playing it safe? How to develop the story?
It's not easy to write.
The Demon Monk worried about this before and after writing.
Then he thought of the unique Golden Finger of "Primordial."
In reality, playing it safe with no plot conflicts is fine. In the game, you can keep reincarnating and it's just like '※Heaven's Fate※' said in the book review section—
"In the game, as long as the protagonist doesn't flamboyantly die, go all out."
Yes, this way, there's plot conflict, and the logic (dying in the game doesn't matter) is complete.
Of course.
When the Demon Monk writes, he also takes care of the real-life plot, although playing it safe, but still managing to make a name in the game. Hasn't really been reckless.
Not to mention the first life.
During the phase in Upper Sun Country, due to the urgent need to enhance strength in reality and the limited speed of cultivation, it's not possible to keep dying in the game because of recklessness.
That would be wasting time.
So in the first few lives, even in the game, it was mainly about developing safely.
Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Puppet and so on, people who liked it really liked it, and those who didn't... it seems there weren't many who didn't.
By the sixth and seventh life, once in Crying Swamp, without immediate threats in reality, only then did he slightly dare to be reckless in the game.
Sure enough.
Being reckless, he died several times in a row.
After going live, the game plot will still serve the real world.
Like during the Upper Sun Country phase, with slow cultivation progress, he learned Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Puppet in the game to boost his self-preservation abilities in reality.
Now that the basic self-preservation power is ready, but there are still many unknown threats in the Three Mountains and Nine Waters Cultivation World. Thus, still better to first seek and derive enhancement methods for preserving life.
Like 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Saber Technique', like 'Seven Birds Small Divine Number'.
There will be more divine skills and methods for preserving life later on.
Cultivation, after all.
Life is the most important thing.
After leaving Upper Sun Country, surely won't fall behind in hundred arts of true cultivation.
Without time difference, any cultivator can become an Alchemy Master, Artifact Refining Master, while Lu Qingfeng in the game, with a hundred times more time difference, not to mention mastering a hundred skills, should at least master seven or eight.
After all, can't be reckless in reality, and all resources must be earned by performing skills. Sometimes hiding deep in the mountains without markets or shops, everything has to be done by hand.
A man of many talents is never at a disadvantage.
So, the plot to come will surely have variety.
The setup of the book is well done, as everyone can see from the previous two or three hundred thousand words.
Might seem too complex at first glance, and there were some issues with the pre-live plot. So after going live, Demon Monk will slowly introduce settings along with the plot, giving everyone a gradual familiarization process.
In any case, still have to present the Primordial World and the real world as realistically as possible under the premise of cautiously cultivating, make the plot even more exciting, and not let down everyone's expectations.
...
"Yellow Court Daoist" has been doing well since it was uploaded.
I want to thank everyone for their continuous support.
From the performance before going public, it shows that everyone really recognizes the core idea of "reluctant cultivation." But what it's really like, we'll have to see the subscription rate after it goes live tomorrow noon.
Honestly, writing this genre really burns a lot of brain cells. If you just wing it, the plot becomes boring. With such good performance, I definitely can't just wing it, so Demon Monk has to spend more time typing.
Two hours of typing every morning!
An hour of careful revision at noon!
Two hours of typing in the evening, and another hour of revising!
Then, reviewing the plot and settings, outlining the details, almost all my spare time is spent on this book.
When I go to bed at night, if I come up with some clever ideas or plot points, or if I think there's something wrong with what I wrote during the day, I'll grab my phone and jot it down.
I go to sleep after midnight, sometimes it takes until past one to fall asleep.
I always wake up at three in the morning.
Luckily, Demon Monk plays with his phone for a while, reads everyone's comments, deletes some negative reviews, fights with some trolls, and then can fall asleep right away.
Actually, the sleep quality is still manageable.
After all, with a two-hour noon break, Demon Monk can still get an hour of sleep.
Haha.
I quietly started to sell sob stories.
But the sob story has to be sold, otherwise how would you know how hard Demon Monk works, right?
...
Until now, the collection of this book is 32,000+.
According to the 10:1 collection-to-subscription ratio, if Demon Monk uploads a chapter tomorrow, it might directly become a first-day hit.
But doing so, you guys might curse Demon Monk to death.
So let me talk about the updates for tomorrow—
First, a minimum of ten updates.
At twelve noon tomorrow when it goes live, Demon Monk will update ten chapters all at once, letting everyone have a good read. With this basic explosive update, I believe it already exceeds 95% of the authors on Qidian.
Second, additional updates for rewards.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
For every hundred in rewards, an extra chapter will be added, no cap!
This is up to everyone's mood; if you can, reward one or five, accumulate it, and you might get four or five extra chapters. However, the main part of the additional updates will still be from first subscriptions.
Third, additional updates for first subscriptions.
The importance of first subscriptions is clear whether you are familiar with Qidian or not. For this book, Demon Monk expects a 10:1 ratio; the first subscription to exceed 3,200!
What level it actually reaches is up to everyone; what Demon Monk can do is keep updating.
So tomorrow, based on a base of 1500 first subscriptions (first day subscription number for the first VIP chapter), for every additional 100 subscriptions, one extra chapter will be updated, no cap as well.
According to Demon Monk's expectations, if the first subscriptions can reach 3,200, that will mean 18 extra chapters!
I sincerely hope everyone can support the official version, even if it's just giving a first subscription.
I mentioned in a single chapter before, Qidian has a 'Xian' event, on the Qidian app's bookshelf page, at the bottom right corner there's a 'Xian' bag, click into it, slightly scroll down, there are five tasks, the first 'hourly red envelope' task, click into it and you can grab a red envelope, this is a guaranteed success every grab.
You can usually grab one after 8 PM, and another grab after midnight. But don't stick to the exact time, otherwise, the coins you grab will be less.
You can grab one after 10 PM, and then another around 9 AM the next day.
This way, grabbing tonight and tomorrow morning, you'll have enough to subscribe to the first VIP chapter when Demon Monk updates ten chapters all at once at noon tomorrow.
These grabbed coins are not additional coins; they can be used directly for subscribing to new chapters.
Of course, if you are capable and like this book, I still hope you can subscribe to the full version to provide continuous support for the author.
After going public, the updates are guaranteed to be three publishes (six thousand words).
The additional updates after going public will depend on how much inventory Demon Monk has left after this explosive release (actually, I really hope that after going live tomorrow, everyone can squeeze Demon Monk's inventory dry)
...
Nothing more to say, my mind gets a bit messy just before going live.
Anyway, the sob story has been told, the emotional appeal... um, I'm not sure if the above statements about additional updates and begging for first subscriptions count, and the sincerity for explosive updates is also there.
Tomorrow at noon at twelve, it's all up to you guys.
Begging for first subscriptions! Begging for subscriptions!
Thank you, everyone!
