Why are works related to spiritual energy recovery so popular all over the Internet?
Before his rebirth, Sun Quan had never written about this subject, but he had thought about this issue. Anyway, at that time, he was on the street. His works were not valuable, so the time he spent on the street was not valuable. He had a lot of money at that time.
time to think about all kinds of messy issues.
The following conclusions were drawn from his thinking.
One is a spiritual recovery work in an urban setting, which has a good sense of immersion in urban works. When readers read this kind of work, they can easily put themselves into the role of the male protagonist, and they can also easily imagine the various characters described in the work.
A modern scene.
Therefore, the sense of substitution should be a reason.
Another feature that he thinks should be the spiritual recovery type of works - such as fantasy, and extremely burning battle scenes like fairy tales.
Sun Quan feels that spiritual recovery works are like a combination of urban and fantasy, or martial arts and fairy tales. The urban life part can give readers an excellent sense of immersion and makes them comfortable to watch, while the fighting part
, and can well arouse readers' reading pleasure.
In addition, the suspense aspect of works related to spiritual energy recovery can easily attract readers to continue reading, because the changes in the world caused by the spiritual energy recovery must be a gradual process, and everyone is curious about the direction in which the entire world will evolve.
What will happen? What adventures will it bring to the protagonist?
Finally, he felt that if the author was capable enough, spiritual recovery works could still have a good selling point - that is, very down-to-earth modern humor.
For example, from time to time, one or two popular Internet jokes...or contemporary popular Internet buzzwords...
These are all completely fine.
And this kind of humor may seem very inconsistent if used in fantasy and fairy-tale works.
The above is Sun Quan’s understanding of the selling point of the theme of spiritual energy recovery.
Because he had this understanding in his heart, when he wrote the story "The God-Slaying Sword in the Clouds", he subconsciously worked hard in these directions.
He can write about warm and down-to-earth urban life.
He's also pretty good at exciting fight scenes.
Digging holes, leaving suspense, filling holes... He has done this in detail in the outline and details, and there is no problem.
And the humorous writing style...
Unfortunately, he has been writing in this style in recent years. "My Decathlon" is in this style, and "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is also in this style.
Therefore, in terms of the writing style of "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds", he did a pretty good job.
only……
The author's ideal effect is always difficult to achieve.
It's like the difference between the seller's show and the buyer's show in online shopping.
For this new book, Sun Quan could not be said to be careless. He used all his skills. After writing each chapter, he would revise it at least twice, and then give it to his assistant Xu Qin to revise and polish it.
But the final result was still not entirely satisfactory to him.
He himself mentally rated his new book as 8 points.
Because he only wrote 80% of the effect he wanted.
However, the increase in various data of this book shows its extremely high popularity.
One month into the new book issue, the total number of clicks has exceeded 8 million, and the number of recommendation votes has reached over 620,000.
The number of alliance leaders is close to 70.
The number of collectors has exceeded 90,000.
Isn’t this data beautiful?
Who dares to say that such data is not beautiful?
Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that the new book issue has a total of more than 8 million clicks, the current click calculation method is relatively unrealistic. Many works by third-rate authors can achieve a total of one to two million clicks.
However, the total number of collectors of more than 90,000 and the number of alliance leaders close to 70 are real.
As we all know, the collection of books has always been relatively real, and sometimes it even seems a bit cruel because it is too real, especially for some new authors.
Some new authors whose works are not strong enough will only have single-digit collections of their works half a month after starting a new book.
The performance of "The Sword of Gods in the Clouds" in all directions was so strong that, one month after its release, it actually achieved the highest honor that can be obtained in a new book issue - No. 1 on both lists.
What does double ranking refer to?
One is the weekly click list on the home page, and the other is the weekly recommendation list on the home page.
Because this book has not yet been put on the shelves, it is not included in the most valuable monthly ticket list.
But... being number one on both lists is already dazzling enough.
"Xianyu has truly become a god! This "God-killing Sword in the Clouds" has completely stabilized his godhood, right? Who can question the gold content of his new king now?"
There are posts like this on the author forum.
"How many first orders will there be for "The Sword of Gods in the Clouds"? Will the first order exceed 10,000?"
There is also such a post on the author forum.
Sun Quan also saw this post. He saw that in this post, someone replied: "If it is put on the shelves now, it is a little bit uncertain if the first order exceeds 10,000 yuan! Because based on the subscription ratio of 10:1, the current price of this book
The number of collectors is still a bit low.”
Some people also replied, "There is hope! After all, this book is so powerful. There are now 68 alliance leaders. Readers reward it so fiercely. The collection ratio after it is released should be very good!"
In this regard, Sun Quan remained silent.
Of course he hopes that he can achieve a new achievement of over 10,000 for the first time this time.
But this was something that was hard to force, and if he really couldn't achieve the goal of exceeding 10,000 yuan in his first order, there was nothing he could do.
However, he was still somewhat confident in his heart.
Because his editor, Hairu, communicated with him two days ago, his book is scheduled to be put on the shelves at 12 noon this Friday, and today is Wednesday, and there are still two days left.
In the past two days, he felt that it would be no problem for "The God-killing Sword in the Cloud" to have more than 100,000 collectors. After all, his new book currently has more than 96,000 collectors.
Moreover, this book is currently in the highly recommended position and ranks first in both weekly clicks and weekly recommendations.
It's equivalent to staying in three excellent recommendation positions at the same time. Under such a good situation, can't it increase to 4,000 collections in two days?
As long as the total number of collectors increases to 100,000, and as long as the book's subscription ratio reaches 10 to 1 after it is put on the shelves, the number of first-order orders for his book in 24 hours will exceed 10,000.
…
On the afternoon of the same day, I was in a rental house in a residential area near the old street of the city.
Le Chao was wearing headphones and sitting in front of the computer, reading a novel on the computer screen. He was fascinated by the novel. With the music playing continuously in the headphones, he didn't even notice that someone opened his door with a key.
Fortunately, the person who walked in was none other than his girlfriend Han Li.
The weather in May is no longer cold. In the afternoon like today, it is even a little hot.
So Han Li didn't wear much, just a pair of blue jeans, a burgundy shirt, and a blue denim jacket. When she walked in, she was carrying a large convenience bag in her hand, which seemed to contain some food.
After entering the door, she raised her head and glanced at Le Chao in front of the computer in the corner.
Seeing that Le Chao was wearing headphones and staring at the computer screen, unaware of her arrival, Han Li frowned, her expression a little hesitant.
This room is not big, and there is a bedroom next to it. It is a one-bedroom and one-living house. Apart from being a bit simple, everything else is fine.
Han Li walked over without hesitation and took off the headphones from Le Chao's head. The move was so sudden that it startled Le Chao, who had been focused on the computer screen.
Turning his head suddenly, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Han Li. He stroked his heart with lingering fear and complained, "What are you doing? You scared me, do you know? People are scary, they can scare people to death!"
Seeing his reaction, Han Li frowned and realized that her behavior just now was indeed inappropriate, so she smiled, looked at the novel on his computer screen, put her butt next to the computer desk, and asked with a smile, "Are you there?"
What are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?"
As she said that, she casually placed the plastic bag she had just brought on the computer table. When she put the bag down, the mouth of the bag opened slightly, revealing some bread, apples, milk, cigarettes and other items inside.
Le Chao took out an apple casually, wiped it on his sleeve, took a bite, and said vaguely while chewing, "It's nothing, it's Sun Quan's new book "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds". I suddenly want to read his book today."
I just took the time to read a new book, oh! To be honest, you almost scared me to death just now, I thought it was haunted!"
Probably because of so much food, Le Chao was no longer as angry as before, but he still had lingering fears.
""The God-Slaying Sword in the Clouds"? You haven't read it until now? I have read this book a long time ago. By the way, what do you think of Xiao Quanzi's book?"
Han Li found a bottle of chewing gum from the bag, and while twisting the cap, she answered Le Chao's words with a smile, and asked a question in passing.
Le Chao did not answer immediately. He lowered his head and took another bite of the apple, chewing it. He was silent for a while and then said, "You know this question is very boring, you know? Sun Quan's new book is now No. 1 on both lists."
, the number of collectors is almost 100,000, now you ask me how well he wrote this book? Oh, if it was not well written, do you think so many people would like it? Can it be number one on both lists?"
"Almost 100,000 collected?"
Han Li's focus was here. She blinked and asked curiously, "Can you see the number of collectors of his book? Or when did you ask him on QQ?"
Le Chao raised his chin slightly, gestured to the computer screen, and said casually, "There is a collection list. He has so many books in his collection. You can find it by just searching on the collection list."
Han Li had already opened the cap of the chewing gum bottle, poured two pills into her mouth, rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked, "How many books do you have in your collection now? Do you have 20,000?"
Le Chao was silent.
Han Li's expression became a little disappointed. She didn't know whether it was intentional or not. She sighed and sighed, "When will you become a great god? With your current achievements, when will we be able to afford a villa in Qinglong Bay?"
Le Chao continued to be silent, and even the frequency of chewing apples became significantly lower.
After a while, he looked up at Han Li and said calmly, "I have already thought about it. I will finish the book I have in the near future, and then I will also write a new book about spiritual energy recovery!"
Han Li was surprised and asked, "Is Xiao Quanzi's book "The Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds" imitated?"
Le Chao laughed and shook his head, "No! This time I want to create a completely original book by myself!"
