Also a writer who listens to everything the readers say and implements them isn't a good writer. Sure some comments and reviews are good, but in my experience on RRL the mass majority of them are not good, or at least not good for your story. I can't remember all the times people suggested ideas that couldn't fit into my story. They wanted my characters to be OP from the start, godly intelligent, a sociopath who kills and torture people with a smile and mocks people ideals of right and wrong, more of a man whore then my protagonist with a harem already was, to show the implied sex scenes, to have the story filled with side stories and introduce dozens of side characters, to not date so many girls, surpass the system of power in the story, and wanted me to introduce dozens of OP powers that would ruin the balance of strength I wanted so it would stay interesting. Ultimately the readers have very strong opinions that they unknowingly confuse for what's factually good and what's not good for a story. Thankfully my readers who were like that were never so bad and were few in number, but I could see a situation where an author just doesn't respond to their readers to convince them why they don't do this and why they choose to do this instead. While an author might get money from their readers they are certainly not your slaves who have to do as the reader commands. And on Qi authors aren't uploading the chapters, but the translators. So it's highly unlikely they are going to change the story they wrote years ago just for a foreign audience.
Exactly. Readers can actually drive stories into the ground. Most people just have crappy ideas that won't work and aren't as brilliant as they think. That's a great Dao to get you banned.
I remember during good old days there was this one CN author who did seem to care about readers, he posted a vid and everything how he appreciated the readers. Nowdays though, i doubt the CN authors care much for people outside china
Well, they're basically like youtubers and shounen manga artists...they start off with a good premise but end up dragging it out just after they start to make good money off of it.
*ninja snek lands* For better or for worse there is such a thing as word count. But even with this there can be good CN novels. I all deoends on how much the author is inspired as well as picnh of talent. It's not only the CN novels which suffer through this. There are Japanise, Korean, English etc noveles which are bad. It's just that CN novels are plentiful and more accessable to us. The books which we find in librariea are all aproved gems. Back when the writter of the books was actually writing it there have been other writters. It's just that only he/she was remembered. *ninjas out*
Dunno. Maybe it's a cultural difference and what feels like low level content to us is considered bearable in the CN audience. Maybe the novels target younger audiences than us here on NU. Maybe the authors do not bother with public acceptance but simply stumbled on something that gives them money. Or maybe they have targeted specific readership with their novels, finding their niche and sticking to it. Maybe the release speeds in China force them to dilute their content to compensate. Maybe some have already found their bottleneck in writing and are giving their best, however much is that. Dunno. If people are reading them, they must be doing something right amongst all those wrongs you credit them.
Sure sure~ in other words you mean yes you’re doing it for the trophies but you’re too scared to admit it?
They write what sells. They write what people want to read. Isn't to your taste? Sorry, turns out you're the minority. They *are* listening to readers, and this is what they ask for.
Hehehe. Go tell that to the translators so that they choose better CN novels to translate. While you're at it, I'll be here still waiting for FlareWK to get resummoned to continue his legacy of being the CN yandere god.
That's for a single given author. The number of series each author needs to go through in order to produce a good one depend on natural talent, care they give to quality and dumb luck, so some may produce masterpieces from chapter 1 while others may have long careers of +1,000,000 chapters and to the last of them being overly subpar.
