Cang's Ramblings

Chapter 1282 1280. Comments on "The Sword is a Demon"

Hello everyone, I am Cang Yiwei.

Today I would like to recommend a new book to you.

"The Sword is the Devil", Daiduo, level 5 author.

Category: Xianxia-classical Xianxia.

Summary:
Hou Qin, who was devoted to seeking the Dao, was sent undercover to the Demon Sword Sect by mistake. He looked forward to making meritorious deeds and being rewarded so that he could return to the Dao Sect...

It was not until he became a giant in swordsmanship that he sadly discovered that no one was capable of closing the net anymore!

【Brief Comment】

He also has three books under his name: "The Path of the Sword Apprentice", "Swordsman Crossing the River" and "Airport Cat Shadow". The sales of these books continue to decline, from 10,000 subscriptions to high-quality books, and from non-high-quality books to 10,000 collections.

The Golden Alliance, the Silver Alliance, and various other alliances have failed to produce a masterpiece. Especially when the previous book shifted to writing about the airport, it was limited by various practical conditions and ended in a mess, which severely damaged the author's reputation.

My guess is that the author is a famous writer in real life, or a big shot on an external site, or a wealthy person.

Anyway, everything that needs to be operated has been operated, and the results are just so-so.

I stopped at Chapter 8 of the new book.

It’s not that I have a low resistance to poison, nor that I can’t understand the semi-classical and semi-vernacular classical fantasy novels. The biggest problem for me is the poem after the "正" at the end of each chapter.

I believe that anyone who has read a little of the Four Great Classics knows that in Ming and Qing novels, whether it is characters, environments, or fights, they all like to be presented in the form of poetry. The writing style of that period was like that, saving paper and full of imagination.

Nowadays, according to some readers, it is just showing off one's knowledge, showing off one's literary talent, and showing off one's literary youth.

Occasionally, it's okay. For example, when Midaozhe wrote "The Great Dao Struggle," he liked to do this, but not often. Later, when he wrote "The Mysterious Dao Chapter," he was noticeably more restrained.

Regarding literary youth, when Mao Ni wrote "The Great Way to Heaven", he also deliberately pursued concise words and descriptions to achieve the desired imagination space, but the final ending was still shelved.

Daiduo's new book has only over 10,000 copies, indicating that it's naturally recommended and won't attract much reader attention. The Silver Alliance hasn't made a move yet, and even if they did, it would be hard to match the success of the second book, "Swordsmen Crossing the River," let alone the first. Therefore, a pessimistic prediction is that his trilogy will end in failure.

I am not deliberately speaking ill of him. As an author with very mature writing experience, he does not seem to be very interested in the market, nor does he care what themes and styles young readers like to read now. He still sticks to his own style and moves forward on the same path.

Of course, some readers have high hopes for him, believing that his style is slow and steady, with a poetic edge at the end. In fact, there are not many people who think so.

Also, the title of the book really looks like Meng Rushenji's "The Buddha is the Tao", there is nothing to defend.

Also, I didn't read any emotion or soul from the book. To put it simply, it was like half-literary and half-vernacular boiled water, without any taste.

Friends who are short of books should enter with caution.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment.

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”.

Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

This book is updated very slowly. It feels like the time it takes to write a chapter of the plot is less than the time it takes to write the poem inserted at the end of the article.

In addition, it is actually quite embarrassing that someone gave the source of the original poem as soon as it was published.

You said that the author had finally found a poem that fits the plot, but before he could recite it a few times, a caring reader found it and posted it.

Putting aside the slap in the face, is he a true fan or the author's pseudonym?
I sincerely hope that the author will stop writing poetry, as I am tired of it.
