FWS Chapter 005 Attracting Attention

"Both the clicks and recommendations are pretty good."

"The monthly votes are okay too. There are 121 today... Huh, over a hundred in a day, not bad!"

"...78 people donated today! That's a lot. No wonder they said donations surpassed 100,000 today. I thought someone had formed an alliance!"

As a veteran reader who had been reading for nearly ten years, Fei Ning directly clicked on the "Hall of Honor" beneath the novel synopsis. In the Hall of Honor, you could see data such as this month's votes and this week's donations. When Fei Ning clicked in, he was dumbfounded.

This week's donations: 322,800!

What the hell, this isn't just surpassing 100,000, it's over 300,000!

Three hundred and twenty-two thousand starting coins, equivalent to three thousand two hundred in Huaxia currency, with the author receiving sixteen hundred!

Today is Monday!

In other words, just from donations today, Yunhou, or Hou Muyun, earned sixteen hundred!

Upon further inspection, two people donated 100,000, two donated 20,000, and there were several others who donated ten thousand or less.

"So many donations!"

Fei Ning was somewhat surprised, not because he hadn't seen so much money before, but because he had always known about Hou Muyun's previous writing situation. The current novel, "Sovereign of the Sword of Xuanyuan," was performing quite poorly. Although he didn't usually read Hou Muyun's novels, he occasionally checked their performance. In the past, it was nowhere near this level.

Scrolling down the page, Fei Ning saw the "11th update" behind the latest chapter title and exclaimed, "This kid is truly insane. Last month, he updated over ten thousand words a day, and this month, he's bursting with eleven chapters... Damn, these are updates from today! Let me check yesterday... Twelve updates! Absolutely crazy, twelve updates yesterday, and eleven more today. What is he trying to do? This volume of updates! If only the books I read had this kind of update frequency!"

Then, Fei Ning looked at the comment section.

"Wow, an update! Eleven updates, the author is so awesome! No words, I hereby pledge my allegiance!" ——Kowtow.

"I had a brief nap this morning, and now another one for Monkey. Another allegiance!" 

"So many updates so early today, and the plot is just too exciting! I thought yesterday's plot was a stroke of genius from the author, but now I realize yesterday's plot was just a small climax!"

"Wow, this chapter is so exciting, it's exhilarating!"

"The recent fight scenes are amazing! As a student, I must support the original subscription!"

"I really love the description of the Lone Sword Supreme, it feels like he's right in front of me, so vivid!"

"Support the author, such top-notch antagonists must have the strength and intelligence to be unbeatable!"

"Damn, this comment section is too exciting, isn't it all just water armies? I've read this book before, although it's not too trashy, it's still quite trashy, how can it be as good as you guys say?"

"I just laugh at this lively comment section. Oh, there are quite a few donations too, looks like a lot of money was spent!"

"I have only one thing to say to those haters: go and read the latest twenty chapters. If you still want to criticize after reading, I'll kneel down and call you daddy!"

"No need to look, with this volume of updates, the quality must be bad. Case closed!"

"Rational comments, stay away from haters. Let me analyze the appearance of the sword bead in the latest chapter!"

"After reading the latest chapters, go back and read Chapter 128. It's chilling! Genius foreshadowing!"

Fei Ning brushed through the comments, rubbed his chin, knowing that Hou Muyun definitely didn't hire any water armies or artificially inflate the numbers. But what he saw before him was somewhat puzzling.

He took out his phone and clicked on Hou Muyun's book. He was ready to pick it up and read it, no, go straight to read the latest twenty chapters to see what kind of plot caused so much discussion!

At this time, back in his rental room, Hou Muyun naturally checked his data and was very excited. After the excitement, he disconnected from the internet and continued typing.

But after two hours, rumble rumble, Hou Muyun's stomach growled again.

"What the heck! Is this the damn side effect of the fitness effect card? I just ate two hours ago, and I'm hungry again!"

From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., Hou Muyun typed nine chapters, completing a total of twenty chapters before forcing himself to go to bed instead of continuing. He wanted to adjust his schedule.

The next day at five o'clock, Hou Muyun woke up, gave up on staying in bed, finished his morning routine, went to the nearby square for morning exercises, had breakfast, rested for a while, and started typing at seven. He forced himself to stop and rest at eleven, ate lunch, forced himself to take a nap, resumed typing at one in the afternoon, and went to the gym with Fei Ning at four-thirty. During the workout, Fei Ning couldn't help but nag...

For five consecutive days, Hou Muyun, with a relaxed mind, forced himself to completely change his schedule.

During these five days, although the time spent typing exceeded ten hours each day, Hou Muyun didn't always use the writing effect card. However, even so, he still depleted the time on the first writing effect card.

The daily update was fifteen chapters, giving him more time to think. After all, inspiration, although enhanced by the effect card, isn't something that can be summoned at will; it requires more brainstorming time to stimulate.

Of course, even fifteen chapters a day is terrifying for readers. The increase in recommendations and monthly tickets is visible. However, the tips didn't skyrocket; it was just a bit crazy in the first few days, and although the number of daily tippers exceeded 30, there was no explosive trend. As for subscriptions, the daily new subscriptions exceeded 20,000 due to the high number of chapters, which sounds like a lot, but considering the update frequency, it's not that much. Although the average subscription count also increased, it was still only 1200.

The reason is simple: not many people were originally reading. The excitement in the comments section and the increase in tips came from existing readers, and even if it was lively, it was only within the readership of this book, prompting some old readers to pick up the book again or "splurge" a bit earlier than before. It didn't attract too many new readers.

In short, even if the wine is good, if the alley is too deep, not many people will smell it.

Of course, if the wine is truly fragrant, no matter how deep the alley, someone will eventually smell it, like an editor.

On Saturday afternoon, Hou Muyun's responsible editor contacted him via QQ.

"The recent updates are terrifying!"

(Smiling expression)

"I've read your recent chapters; they're well-written. I was planning to schedule a recommendation for you, but unfortunately, this week's recommendations were already sent out on Friday."

(Sad expression)

"However, given the recent performance of your book, I've decided to add an additional recommendation."

(Bright-eyed expression)

"Next Monday, a big recommendation."

"Wow! Really?"

"I thought you'd forgotten how to type anything besides emoticons... It was always the plan to schedule a big recommendation for you. Although your book's performance hasn't been great before, you're an established author, and your updates last month were outstanding. It's also a coincidence that the book scheduled for the big recommendation next Monday violated the regulations and was ordered to be revised, so we replaced it with yours."

(Excited expression)

"... Keep up this quality, and your book will definitely take off later! As for the update frequency... just take care of your health!"

"Thank you!"

Hou Muyun and the editor had little communication before, only contacting more during the release of a new book. Usually, unless there was a problem, he wouldn't bother the editor. He also knew that each editor had many authors to manage and their own review work, so he didn't want to disturb them. As for those who say that having a good relationship with the editor means more recommendations, Hou Muyun never thought too much about it. Anyway, from writing to now, he knew one ironclad rule: good performance naturally leads to more recommendations.

Learning about the big recommendation next Monday, Hou Muyun was still very excited. One, the timing of this recommendation couldn't be better, and two, this recommendation is very powerful.

"Keep typing, keep typing!"

The updates on Saturday and Sunday were still fifteen chapters each. In addition, Hou Muyun saved ten chapters. For a big recommendation, there definitely needs to be even more!

At two-thirty on Monday afternoon, "Sword Master Xuan Yuan" made it to the big recommendation. On that day, Hou Muyun went all out, uploading twenty-five chapters! And after using the writing effect card throughout that day, only one hour remained on the second writing effect card!
