Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 239 The Sword Arrives: The First Breakthrough. (Please Subscribe)
"Brothers, we need to think of a way."

What method?

"Make this book even more popular!"

"Wow, this is the author's business, isn't it?"

"No, the author is just too laid-back, so naturally we die-hard fans have to worry about him."

Sword Comes fan group.

A group of fans of Sword Comes said in the group chat.

Ok.

Chen Yang is not in this group.

It's not that I don't want to bring Chen Yang along.

The problem is that Chen Yang doesn't organize a book club, so the book lovers have to create their own.

This resulted in a fan base without the author.

of course.

They also didn't know who the author was.

But who it is doesn't matter.

The important thing is.

They like this book, "Sword Comes".

"That's what they say, but it's not easy to promote. The main problem is that the book 'Sword Comes' requires readers to calm down and read it carefully. Even if they calm down, it doesn't necessarily mean they can finish reading it. They have to read the comments while reading the book carefully. Otherwise, they might not understand it at all."

"Yes, I've seen other top authors say that. This book is great, but it doesn't attract readers, which is a fatal problem. No matter how well a novel is written, if it doesn't attract readers, it can't be top-notch."

"I was thinking, there are so many awesome phrases in Sword Comes, maybe we can promote it a bit."

"It's no use."

"how?"

"Are you referring to what Mr. Qi said, that I, Qi Jingchun, will shoulder the burden of the town's three-thousand-year-old backlash from the heavens?"

"Isn't this line explosive?"

"It's certainly a hit, but that's only for those of us who have read the book. Tell me, would someone who hasn't read the book feel anything about this?"

"Then, what about what Mr. Qi said to Chen Ping'an: 'No matter what happens in the future, don't lose hope in this world'?"

"This sentence is easier to promote than the previous one, but it's still the same. People who haven't read the book won't fully understand it. At most, they might see the sentence and think it's well-written and has some positive energy."

"Damn, weren't you guys just spamming the chat saying it would be an injustice if this book didn't become popular?"

"Well, well... I was excited, but excitement is one thing, reality is another. Putting that aside, take that line from Bu Yangshen: 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential.' In the book *Sword Comes*, which line compares to that?"

"Ok."

of course.

Actually, it's not that it's inferior.

Speaking of paper selection.

Any random line from the novel "Sword Comes" is more elegant than this one.

But when it comes to momentum and style, this sentence completely surpasses Sword Arrives.

Also.

Sword Comes still has a fatal flaw: it doesn't absorb any amount of data.

It's too literary, and requires too much reading to appreciate, which makes it unacceptable to the general public.

This is like the saying, "Thirty years east of the river, the river flows east..."

Even disregarding the novel itself, this sentence would still be a hit.

But the sentences from "Sword Comes" lose their weight when they're not part of "Sword Comes".

"The book is good, but I doubt it will become a top-tier book."

"Yes, it's too difficult to create a phenomenal work. It requires the right timing, location, and people. All three are indispensable."

"Otherwise, if Yang Shendu hadn't been seen for so long, why would his books still be number one in the industry?"

Many readers sighed.

Tudou.com

Ever since Tudou.com launched its citizen journalism service.

The number of customers bidding on Tudou.com surged to over 10 in an instant.

Many videographers across the country upload their own interesting and fun videos every day.

Although these videos can't compare to those in movies and TV shows.

But its appeal lies in its down-to-earth nature, authenticity, and creativity... which quickly garnered attention from many netizens.

In these citizen-submitted videos.

Some photographers' content is not limited to outdoor scenes or other interactive activities.

Many knowledge-based video bloggers have emerged from this.

For example, popularizing Tang and Song poetry, history, etc.

These bloggers also make their explanations more engaging and direct than the content in books because of their humor.

It has also attracted the attention of some people.

Simultaneously.

In here.

Another group consists of book recommendation bloggers.

These types of bloggers are mainly responsible for recommending a variety of good books to everyone.

There is a blogger named [Xiaoxing Recommends Books] who specializes in making this type of video.

However, Xiaoxing is planning to try a different approach to recommending books.

Because before.

The books he recommends are mostly traditional literature, such as Yu Hua's "To Live," "Ordinary World," and "Red Sorghum," etc.

These books are undoubtedly good books.

Many people have read it.

But Xiaoxing discovered.

After he recommended these works, the video views weren't very high.

immediately.

He plans to shift his focus to online literature.

Actually, he had considered promoting online novels before.

He also enjoys reading online novels.

However, online literature is a relatively new phenomenon and has not yet been fully validated by the market.

I'm also afraid that if I reject the online novel, I'll be criticized by a bunch of netizens.

But he didn't expect that.

The development of online literature is so rapid.

It only took one or two years.

Online articles are becoming increasingly popular.

Especially the book by Anglican, which was incredibly popular.

However, he doesn't plan to promote the book of Anglican today, even though it is indeed very well written.

But he felt...

Everyone has read books that don't glorify God, so it's hard for anyone to offer anything new.

Moreover, this has already been mentioned on Tudou.com.

immediately.

He took a liking to a work called "Sword Comes".

This is a new book.

It only appeared in the last month or two.

Although it's a new book.

However, Xiaoxing believes that this book is on par with many great authors.

Even some platinum books may not be as good as this one.

However, this book has one drawback.

That's because the author is too artsy.

He loves to create elaborate plans and foreshadow events, so he doesn't explain things to you all at once.

This also makes it difficult for many readers to understand.

But this is a disadvantage for others.

For Xiaoxing, this is an advantage.

You don't understand, right? Then let me explain it to you.

You guys are impatient, aren't you? Well then, let me analyze this for you.

You probably don't know what the foreshadowing is here, so let me explain it to you one by one.

"Okay, let's begin."

Facing the camera, Xiao Xing began his book recommendation for the day.

"Today I want to recommend a web novel called 'Sword Comes.' Although it's a web novel, I can say that its writing style is unmatched, even by some traditional literary masters. Of course, the reason I'm recommending it today isn't because of its writing style, but because of its story, its plot, its ideas, and of course, its incredibly vivid characters."

"The story begins with a boy named Chen Ping'an in a small town. He lost both his parents at a young age and grew up relying on the kindness of others. Even so, because he was so very young, he worried about whether he could survive. Fortunately, though young, he was already mature enough to take on responsibilities early. Having lost both his parents at a young age..."

Xiao Xing starts her story from the first chapter of "Sword Comes".

of course.

He didn't say it that way as it was in the original text.

He was explaining.

He picked out a series of foreshadowing elements one by one.

Like that maid named Zhigui, she was actually the last true dragon in the world transformed.

Qi Jingchun is a saint who was appointed by the three religions to come and oversee the area every 60 years, according to an agreement.

His successor was the blacksmith, Ruan Qiong, who was also the last sage to reside in the town.

There is an old locust tree in the town, which symbolizes the town's prosperity.

Its leaves can provide shelter and various opportunities for the residents of the town.

That's why Qi Jingchun repeatedly begged the old locust tree to show leniency towards Chen Ping'an and not be so heartless.

There is a stone slab bridge in the town, and under the bridge hangs an old, even somewhat rusty, sword.

This sword is older than the town itself.

It has been hanging here for over 8000 years.

Perhaps it was a sudden flash of inspiration from Xiaoxing.

Perhaps Xiaoxing's book recommendation this time inadvertently hit the right traffic entry point.

Xiao Xing's first video recording of "Sword Comes" instantly garnered praise and positive feedback from netizens.

"I saw the blogger recommend this sword, it looks really nice."

"I admire Qi Jingchun's magnanimity."

"Although I haven't read the book, I feel it must be a good one. Thanks. I'll read it later."

Little Xing never expected this.

He only posted his first video promoting the novel "Sword Comes," and he already garnered so much attention.

to this end.

He began preparing his second video.

but.

Actually, it's not just Xiaoxing.

When other viewers on Tudou.com discovered that Xiaoxing was promoting "Sword Comes" and had gained such high traffic.

They also started following the trend.

No.

They not only followed the trend, but they also innovated.

Xiao Xing's book recommendation was simply talking to herself while looking at the book.

However, they came up with something even more innovative.

They not only promoted books, but they also edited together a series of similar videos to promote the books.

Let everyone experience the book while watching the video.

"It seems that the book 'Sword Comes' is very popular. I'd also like to recommend it. I'll also answer some questions from many people. For example, many people ask why the Mountain-Moving Ape, with its high strength, struggled so much against Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao. Actually, it's not a matter of whether it struggled or not, because the town has a powerful array suppressing it. If people outside the town were to use their cultivation, they would suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao."

"There's another reason why Qi Jingchun didn't accept Chen Ping'an as his disciple. There must be more to Qi Jingchun's plans, or perhaps Chen Ping'an isn't really suitable to inherit Qi Jingchun's mantle. Or perhaps Chen Ping'an has his own path to walk. On the other hand, Li Baoping has the air of a female teacher and should be able to inherit Qi Jingchun's mantle."

"The old sword is probably the biggest opportunity in the town. It all depends on whether Chen Ping'an can seize it."

have to say.

The addition of these book recommendation videos has given Jianlai, who was originally only performing well within the industry, a new lease on life.

It immediately became the focus of attention for many netizens.

in particular.

In some of these videos, bloggers also engaged in role-playing scenarios.

Yes.

They directly provided voice acting for all the characters in Sword Comes.

even.

Some people have started cosplaying.

"Everyone, look at me, does my portrayal of Ning Yao look like her?"

"Hahaha, I am Qi Jingchun. I embezzled the entire 3,000-year demolition compensation of this small town. You can't catch me, I'm riding away on my motorcycle."

"Chen Ping'an, remember, no matter what you encounter in the future, never lose hope in this world."

"My father's surname is Ning, and my mother's surname is Yao, so my name is Ning Yao."

"My father's surname is Chen, and my mother's surname is also Chen, so my name is Chen Ping'an."

"Pfft..."

this moment.

This book, "Sword Comes," which is so literary and artistic, has broken out of its niche for the first time.
