Chapter 299 Adjusting the Rhythm
After finishing the dinner with Xu Yonghui, Luoyang returned to the apartment to continue updating "Buddha is Tao".
This book is the pioneering work of the prehistoric flow in the previous life, and it is destined to lead the trend in the future, so Luoyang's expectations for this book are still very high.
After writing the three chapters of today, Luoyang uploaded them one by one, and took a look at the progress. He found that "Buddha is Tao" was just updated to the 21st episode today: "Dust and Dust".
After the update, Luoyang glanced at the fan rankings again.
Like the previous two books, Luoyang's reader fan list has more than 300 leaders, all of whom are prefixed with Baiyi League, with a neat and consistent ID format, and domineering.
Luoyang's eyes turned to the book review area of "Buddha is Tao".
As a result, he found that the comments in the book review area were not harmonious, and countless comment posts were mixed with various voices.
"I've been reading this book for a few days, but I feel like it's less and less like what Bai Da wrote..."
"I feel like Bai Da is not suitable for writing Xianxia. This book, "The Buddha is the Tao", is full of boring killing and treasure-grabbing, and it doesn't have the passionate and hot-blooded feeling of "Panlong"."
"That's right, the beginning of this book didn't make me want to keep following it..."
"It may be that Bai Da is writing a work of the Xiuxian type for the first time, so he is a little uncomfortable. Let's give Bai Da more time. When Bai Da finds the feeling, the plot will surely become exciting."
"It may also be that Bai Da is really not good enough. The update and replacement of online literature this year is too fast!"
"Many new authors have emerged, although they are following Bai Da's trend, but some The author has developed his own style more and more. If Bai Da doesn't make progress, he will probably be eliminated..."
"The above person is exaggerating. Bai Da can't be eliminated. The Supreme God with the highest status in the online literature world is not joking!"
"Or maybe Bai Da has too many real works and can't handle them all. After all, the styles of online and real works are different. It's inevitable that he will be confused when switching back and forth."
"Anyway, I believe in Bai Da, because looking at all of Bai Da's works, which one is not a masterpiece? Besides, you say that "Buddha is Tao" is not good, but you are just comparing it with "Panlong". If compared with ordinary authors, Bai Da is still very skilled."
...
It is not difficult to see from these comments that readers are now divided into two factions.
One faction is the supporters. They don't think Luoyang will go downhill. The reason why the story was not exciting in the early stage was just because Luoyang was not used to the rhythm of the new type for a while. After all, Luoyang has never had the experience of writing fairy tales.
The other faction is the skeptics. They think Luoyang's new book is not ideal. The previous plot is very repetitive, and the protagonist progresses by killing people and robbing treasures, which does not have the kind of exciting feeling in previous works.
Luoyang frowned slightly at the comments.
Indeed, the early stage of "Buddha is Tao" is not that bad, but many readers have too high expectations for themselves...
And the early plot of "Buddha is Tao" is not enough to support this expectation, so readers have polarized attitudes.
Luoyang knows it in his heart.
"Buddha is Tao" is a novel with mixed reviews.
The protagonist of this book cultivates immortals in the modern world in the first half, killing people and robbing treasures, until the protagonist enters the earthly immortal world, and then turns to the plot of mythological cultivation. Even the writing style has made great progress and turned into semi-classical Chinese.
This is a typical work that is stable in the early stage and superb in the later stage.
But the problem now is that the stable plot of "Buddha is Tao" in the early stage has caused dissatisfaction among some readers.
The plot has not yet started to be superb, and readers are already anxious.
If Luoyang was still a newcomer, it would be fine. He could update slowly. Sooner or later, everyone would find the wonderfulness of this book, and he could even get the title of a god with one book. But he is the first supreme god in the online literature world.
Readers have high expectations for his new book.
"What can I do to change this situation..."
Luoyang fell into thinking.
He had considered that the early plot of "Buddha is the Tao" was only average, which might cause dissatisfaction among readers, but he didn't expect that readers would complain after only writing a dozen chapters.
After thinking about it again, Luoyang finally decided -
He wanted to adjust the early plot of "Buddha is the Tao".
He had this idea once before, but "Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East" also needed major revisions, and his energy was limited, so Luoyang wanted "Buddha is the Tao" to develop at the pace of his previous life.
But now that readers' complaints have appeared, he can't sit idly by.
After all, "Buddha is the Tao" still has a long way to go to be truly wonderful.
As for the content that has been published, Luoyang is not going to modify it. Anyway, there are only more than 20 chapters, which will not affect the overall situation. What he wants to modify is the following plot, and shorten some unnecessary plots as much as possible.
It seems that "Life is Long and Hateful, and the River Flows East" needs to be put on hold for a while.
Luoyang opened the document and began to create the following plot of "The Buddha is the Tao".
[Xiang Hui knew that this senior brother was very advanced in cultivation, but he was stubborn. Of course, he did not dare to tell him the purpose of the four of them coming, so he lied to him: "Senior Brother! Haven't we joined the Dragon Group now? We just got the news that the Monster Alliance had an internal explosion and Tianxuan Blood Demon was seriously injured. Ling Fei of Kunlun Sect asked us to check it out. We just arrived here and encountered these monsters."]
...
The following plot is somewhat different from the previous life.
However, it cannot be said to be modified, after all, the appearance of some characters in the early stage is still necessary.
Luoyang mainly adjusted the rhythm of the book. For an online novel, only a good rhythm can make readers feel refreshed.
Originally, "Buddha is the Tao" did well in the early stage, but it was still weaker than the rhythm of "Panlong", so Luoyang was adjusting it carefully.
Some people may not know what the rhythm of online novels means. In fact, it is simple to say. It is the sense of hierarchy and order of the protagonist's development all the way, so that readers have a clear understanding of the development of the plot. If the protagonist develops in a haphazard way, it will confuse the readers.
And those who have read "Buddha is the Tao" know that the plot of this book is not completely unfolded until the protagonist enters the earthly immortal world, and the plot before the earthly immortal world is no different from ordinary immortal cultivation novels.
So Luoyang has to adjust the rhythm, speed up the progress, and let the protagonist enter the earthly immortal world as soon as possible.
You know, the story of "Buddha is the Tao" did not enter the earthly immortal world until the 193rd chapter.
If the protagonist Zhou Qing continued to enter the earthly immortal world in the 193rd chapter in this life, I am afraid that readers would be very resentful. After all, the story before the earthly immortal world was not really exciting.
Luoyang began to type faster.
Countless plots jumped in Luoyang's mind.
The rhythm was distinct, the layers were clear, and the threads were re-planned and reassembled.
The continuous typing sound paused, and Luoyang had already written the latest chapter.
At the same time, after a lot of analysis, he basically calculated the order of the new rhythm in his mind.
According to his new idea, by cutting out some unnecessary plots in the early stage of "Buddha is the Tao", the Earthly Immortal Realm can appear about fifty chapters earlier. In this way, the plot will become really exciting only when the 140th chapter is written...
"This is the limit of my simplification!"
"One hundred and forty chapters, as long as we can get through the first 140 chapters, a new school will be born and all the dissatisfied voices will disappear."
