Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 75 The Lonely Nine Blades and Ruffian Cai
In three days, Ke Jingteng finished watching all ten episodes of "I Want to Become a Fairy" that are currently available for purchase.

In fact, these ten episodes together only have more than 600,000 words. With his previous reading speed, he could finish reading them in less than three days.

But it took him three days to finish watching all ten episodes, and he even stayed up late every day to watch them.

Watch very slowly.

Because the content of this book was so novel to him, he read many of the settings very carefully.

If a reader who often reads fantasy and cultivation-themed books reads this book, he will probably just glance over the ten lines and roughly scan the plot of the book.

But for Ke Jingteng, what he cares most about in this book are the various settings, such as the cultivation levels, various spells, and various natural treasures...

Even the universal currency of the cultivation world set out in the book - spirit stones - made him dazed for a while. He imagined a cultivation world where spirit stones were used as currency.

"I Want to Become an Immortal" gave him a lot of room for imagination.

The world of cultivation depicted in the book often caused him to lose focus while reading it.

In the evening three days later.

When he finished reading the last page and closed the book, he sat at the desk in a daze, his mind unable to withdraw from the world of the book.

Thinking about the flying swords, the soul being able to leave the body, and the lifespan of masters of cultivation being thousands of years old, he suddenly felt that the real world was dull and boring.

I really want to live in the world of cultivation in books, rather than this boring real world.

Compared to the world of cultivation, what is good about the real world?
After studying hard for more than ten years, and working hard for twenty or thirty years, you finally have money and don’t have to work anymore. But you are old, and those with a short life will not live to see the day of retirement.

Is there an afterlife after death?
Many religions say that people have an afterlife, but none of them can prove that there is an afterlife.

So, if people really only have this one life to live, then what is the point of studying for a dozen years and working for twenty or thirty years?

"All living things suffer, and mortals cannot escape."

This sentence from "I Want to Become an Immortal" flashed through his mind.

Then I thought of another sentence in the book: "After swallowing a golden pill, I realized that my fate is in my own hands."

Longevity...

This has been the dream of mankind since ancient times.

The book "I Want to Become an Immortal" activated his desire for immortality.

But it can only be a desire.

There is no way for him to become an immortal through cultivation in the real world.

So, he felt lost.

It seemed that I saw a world of cultivation ahead, but I could not enter that world.

How could this not make him feel lost?
Putting down "I Want to Become an Immortal" in his hand, he turned on the computer on the desk, opened a document in the computer, and looking at the work in the document, he suddenly realized that he didn't want to write anymore.

The work in this computer document is called "Strange Dreams" and is a novel he is currently writing.

Preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination again and writing this novel to relieve his depression are the two things he has been doing during this period.

Before reading "I Want to Become an Immortal", he was very passionate about his own book "Strange Dreams".

but now?
After reading the first ten episodes of "I Want to Become an Immortal", he suddenly lost interest in continuing to write "Strange Dreams". Instead, he wanted to write a book about immortality and cultivation.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something and picked up another copy of "I Want to Become an Immortal", and deliberately looked for the name of the publisher on the book.

Soon, he found it - Xinchang Publishing House.

His eyes lit up.

I thought: Since I Want to Become an Immortal is so popular, this publishing house must want to publish a similar work, right? This is a good opportunity! If I can write a book of the same type, even if the quality is slightly worse, this publishing house should also be interested in publishing it, right?

Even if this publishing house looked down on it, what about other publishing houses? Seeing how popular "I Want to Become an Immortal" was, wouldn't other publishing houses want to follow suit and publish a few similar works?
Thinking of this, he immediately created a new document on his computer, preparing to write a book about immortal heroes and cultivation. After a moment, he typed the title he had just thought of on the document: "Flying Sword Immortal".

Then, he wrote down the type of work: Xianxia Xiuzhen

Author: Nine Knives
……

He was actually diverted from his original life trajectory by Cao Sheng's "I Want to Become an Immortal" and began to write fairy tales and cultivation stories.

……

When Ke Jingteng started to try to create "Flying Sword Fairy", Pi Zi Cai from Tainan had already started.

As for his "First Close Contact" which began serialization in March this year?
Every time he thought of this book recently, he felt depressed.

Ever since the heroine Qingwu Feiyang created by him and the heroine Ran Jing created by Zhongyuan Yidianhui died one after another, he seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest. All those book fans who had supported and praised him in the book review section before seemed to have turned against him overnight.

Some people accused him of plagiarizing others, others accused him of being crazy about fame. All kinds of insults killed his creative passion.

He originally thought that these people would stop scolding after a few days, just like when Jin Yong wrote that Xiaolongnu was raped by Yin Zhiping, the book fans would be excited for a while but would still continue to watch the rest of the story.

Therefore, he never resurrected Qingwu Feiyang.

He decided to stick to his established plot setting.

but……

He underestimated the resentment of book fans and overestimated his own mentality.

Book fans continue to rant in his book review section.

And his mentality collapsed bit by bit.

Finally, a few days ago, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and hastily finished "First Close Contact".

While writing this book till now, he has been powered by love. It is the appreciation and praise from his fans that keeps him motivated to write.

When his book fans no longer appreciate or praise him, what motivation does he have to continue writing?

So, he left the book unfinished.

His mood gradually improved because he no longer had to check the book review section of this book every day.

Later, he heard that Zhongyuan Yidianhui had another book that sold very well in Taiwan. In the book review section of "The Days of Living with the Air Hostess", he also saw some book friends from Taiwan commenting in traditional Chinese characters, saying that "I Want to Become an Immortal" was much better than "The Days of Living with the Air Hostess".

His curiosity was piqued.

I went to the bookstore specifically to find "I Want to Become an Immortal" and bought a copy to try reading.

Then it got out of hand.

The next day I bought the second episode, and on the third day I bought two more episodes. On the fifth day, I simply bought all the remaining episodes.

After watching ten episodes of "I Want to Become an Immortal", he felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

Can novels be written like this?
It turns out that a beauty like Qing Wu Fei Yang, in the world of immortals, might just be a maidservant beside a formal disciple of the Yu Jian Sect? If she wants to sleep with him, the Yu Jian Sect disciple who is devoted to the Dao might just give her a sword strike? And then curse her: "How dare you mess with my sword? You should be killed!"

When Ke Jingteng in Taipei started writing "Flying Sword Immortal", Pi Zi Cai in Tainan had already finished the third chapter of "The Long Road to Immortality".

Yes!

He started writing earlier than Ke Jingteng.

Like many young people who love writing in the original time and space, they have lost interest in creating traditional types of romance works after reading the imaginative, creative and wonderful online articles.

Why can online literature in the original time and space develop so fast?
This is because it can quickly absorb and assimilate young people with some writing talent and turn them into online writers.
