Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 28 Watch how I lead you into the ditch.

"A grandmaster? Just because you write a novel doesn't make you a grandmaster?"

The other end of SkyNet.

The captain, who only ranked second on the new book list last month and lost 2 yuan, was furious.

He originally thought...

His new book was released and it was able to get the number one spot on the monthly new book chart.

With an initial order of 2000, if he pushes it a bit further, he can get a top-tier contract this year.

But then this incident happened.

Whether the top player can secure the contract is still unknown.

"If I'm not having a good time, you shouldn't be either."

My brain feels hot.

The captain, however, created multiple aliases and went to the book review section of "I Come From Billions of Light Years".

Without thinking twice, he started criticizing the book "I Come From Billions of Light Years Ago".

"The Chen family produced a dragon; it made me so embarrassed I almost had cancer."

“Give me back Chen Beixuan’s actions. Why do I need to explain to others? Oh my, you’re so amazing. Why aren’t you the main character?”

"Aren't you tired of showing off and getting slapped in the face every day?"

"It's just a piece of fluff, and you call it a grandmaster? Get lost."

in one breath.

The captain posted dozens of negative reviews.

By the time Chen Yang discovered it, these negative reviews had already been sitting in the comments section for over ten hours.

"These guys."

Chen Yang was speechless.

In fact, Chen Yang is completely immune to negative reviews.

Every reader has their own perspective.

It's normal that you like it but he doesn't.

So for almost any book of his, there are people who criticize it and give it bad reviews.

instead.

The more people criticize your book, the more popular it proves.

But fire is one thing.

These negative reviews will inevitably affect the results to some extent.

For example, some new readers.

Many of them will read the reviews first, and then read the book.

If they see too many negative reviews, they usually won't read them.

to this end.

Chen Yang simply deleted these posts that were maliciously flooding the forum with negative reviews.

Deleting is one thing.

Chen Yang doesn't spend all his time in front of the computer.

He sometimes only spends about ten minutes online each day.

When I went online again the next day, I found that the book review section was full of insults.

"Bu Yangda, there have been far too many malicious and abusive reviews in your book review section lately. Why don't you go online and deal with them?"

The group owner of the fan group, "Master Xiao," sent a message to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded: "The main problem is that I don't have the time."

Chen Yang then looked at the book review section.

If there were a sub-moderator setting, things would be a bit easier for me.

However, Qidian does not yet have a sub-moderator setting.

but.

This is not the point.

The key point is that he feels he was framed.

Yes.

Judging from these negative reviews, they all appeared within a concentrated period of time.

Also.

These negative reviews are all baseless rants that don't mention anything of substance.

Are there any readers like this?

Yes, there are some, but very few.

Even if there is such a person, I'll just scold him and he'll leave.

He can't possibly come over and yell at me every day.

But so many have appeared in just a few days; someone must be tampering with them.

At this moment, Dangdang also sent a message to Chen Yang, saying, "Brother Chen Yang, did you offend someone? Your book review section has been flooded with a lot of abusive posts lately."

"I saw it."

Chen Yang said.

To be honest, I've offended you.

first timing.

Chen Yang immediately thought of the captain.

He wrote books on Qidian.com, which led to a feud with the captain.

However, there is no evidence to support this claim.

Chen Yang couldn't directly say that he was the captain.

Say.

It's not good to wrong someone.

Without evidence, Chen Yang naturally wouldn't reveal who it was.

I thought about it.

Chen Yang contacted Xiao Chao, the data whiz. "Brother Xiao Chao, I need your help with something."

"Brother Bu Yang, this is too serious. Please tell me."

"Exactly, could you help me check the IP addresses of some of these posts?"

"Hehe, you suspect someone's been targeting you in the book review section lately, right?"

"Did you notice it too?"

"I work with data. Besides, I read your book every day. I want to absorb your experience so I can write such amazing works in the future. Okay, give me ten minutes."

Ten minutes later.

Xiao Chao sent over all the IP addresses that wrote negative reviews.

More than 100 of them came from the same IP address.

and.

Xiao Chao also sent over the most important information: the captain's IP address.

That's right.

The IP address is exactly the same as those in these negative reviews.

"It's really him."

Looking at the captain's IP address, Chen Yang was deep in thought.

Xiao Chao said, "Should we expose this guy?"

"Need not."

Chen Yang said, "We're all in the same industry. If we expose him like this, he probably won't want to write any more books."

"What a magnanimous heart! I admire you once again."

"Thanks, Brother Xiao Chao."

The conversation with Xiao Chao ended.

Chen Yang then searched for the captain's works.

Ok.

Chen Yang wasn't that magnanimous.

Although Chen Yang did not intend to expose this guy, he also did not intend to let him go.

to this end.

Chen Yang started seriously from the first chapter and then began reading the captain's work.

have to say.

The captain's work is quite good.

Some of the plot points are well-written, and there are various plot twists.

However, it also has its drawbacks.

For example, in his works, he would write some side stories that are not very related to the main text.

Chen Yang knew that these side plots were meant to flesh out the overall storyline of the book, so that the main plot wouldn't become monotonous.

However, the inclusion of numerous subplots actually makes the entire book more complex.

Think of this.

Chen Yang created an alternate account and subscribed to all of the Captain's works.

and.

Chen Yang also wrote a very well-written long review.

It's in the long review.

Chen Yang highly praised the captain for writing a series of side stories.

Furthermore, they believe that the better the side stories are written, the more diverse the whole story will be, and the less likely it will sound simplistic.

Anyway.

Chen Yang praised the book extensively, pointing out some of its shortcomings.

Not only praise.

Chen Yang also offered many of his own suggestions.

such as.

As for the female characters, Chen Yang suggested, "Don't create a harem, just go straight for a harem, just take them all down directly, that way everyone will enjoy it more."

For example, ask him to dig more holes and create more suspense.

This was certainly not out of Chen Yang's good intentions.

The so-called "making the other party a stallion instead of a harem" is a metaphor for this.

This is based on decades of experience in writing online novels.

Harem novels are definitely more popular than stallion novels.

Because harem novels don't involve seducing or conquering women, the protagonist can have dozens of girls.

If he doesn't seduce dozens of girls, he can keep readers looking forward to more.

But if it's a harem novel, then it's a different story.

No matter how many girls you have.

Once the girl is taken down, there's basically nothing more to write about, and readers won't have much expectation for her anymore.

In addition, there's the suspense aspect.

It's not that you can't create suspense.

The problem was that Chen Yang discovered the captain wasn't particularly good at creating suspense.

But he didn't realize that.

Not only did he fail to realize this, he also created more such storylines.

Chen Yang even discovered that the captain had personally argued with the readers over these plot points.

Chen Yang then granted his wish.

Watch how I lead you into a ditch.

in one breath.

Chen Yang wrote three long reviews for the captain.

Afterwards, Chen Yang sent a suggestion to editor Gu Yue to add a deputy moderator to the book review section, and then he prepared to go to sleep.
