Even though I have the whole storyline prepared and I want to deliver it to you as soon as possible, my writing skills are limiting my readers from getting immersed into the story. So rather than completing the story in a rushed manner, I have decided to rewrite it. With that in mind the story will be put on hiatus for a month or two while I gain a bit more writing experience.
Thank you for your understanding.

@roningaka sorry for the mistakes i'm not a native speaker
sorry for the mistakes i'm not a native speaker
I want to write about things that I think could be done better...
I think the MC should have been smarter and figured out who might have framed him and most importantly why...the reason why Ye Furong was framed is because Ye Bai saw something important in Jiu Weici, and apparently she is unlikely to end well ...
too much time has passed since Ye Furong's death and resurrection, if not so much time had passed (600 years)
Jiu Weici could have been his motivation to get back and rescue her faster (maybe 600 years isn't that long for cultivators?), rather than go with the flow until he had that nightmare in the graveyard. Of course MC's character has been changing for too long, I think it's enough what happened to him and his mother in his first life and the training of his teachers, so that his character would change (in general I like Zhu Furong in the last chapters) - this will save you from negative reviews like "stereotypical Japanese MC" , "acts like a child"
Okay, I'm not sure if Behemoth Egg was a girl it would make the story better, but I would be more interested.
Why is your book not popular? from what i can say:
1. books about cultivation are not that popular in general, I recommend publishing your book on other sites too
(I see you are on RR, it is worth thinking about Webnovel too)
2. release chapters more often, you can split one chapter into two, and release every 2 days or so (more chances of your book being noticed due to more frequent updates) therefore, in no case should you publish many chapters one time. Perhaps the time at which the chapter comes out is also important?
3. Synopsis, genres, tags your set doesn't seem very interesting to readers, put more tags (if possible) for example: younger/older love interests, dragons, phoenixses, mythical beasts... I would say that the most important Synopsis and you need to write it so as to keep the reader interested.
4. I don’t know what the selection criteria are, but if you get to the main page of the site, this is a big boost
Sigh, I like how Jiu Weici looks and I'm tired of jade beauties (maybe I felt a kindred spirit in the author?), so I tried to help you, I'm ready for a dialogue, if you have any questions I'll try to answer.
Thanks for the suggestions.
The mc's personality will be quite different in the rewrite. I think it will be more likable. His character change will take place much smoother this time and it will possibly feel natural.
I know people prefer things like System and Pets to be female characters as it sounds more cute and all but Zhu Xingzuo is a male from birth, I cannot do anything about it.
1. Thanks for the suggestion, I will publish it on other sites as well.
2. With my current livelihood condition, I can only manage to write 4 chapters a week which are 2k-4.5k words long in average. I will try opening a pateron later and if I can get enough support I may be able to shift to being a full time author and write more.
3. There are limits to how many tags I can use but I will try to keep the intersting ones.
4. I think the criteria is number of views and follows which will increase if I can do something about my writing skills I guess. I know it quite well that my writing skills are quite lacking.
I also think too much jade beauties are no good so I introduced Tian Lei who has darker skin tone and not a jade one. As for the main female characters, I prefer them fair and I cannot help it.
Again thanks for the comment, it motivated me.
@roningaka sigh, i've read a few works that are worse written than yours but still have a large readership because the authors started early and got their regular readers, they advertise their new novel at the end of the previous one, these regular readers boost ratings and reviews and views - this contributes to the influx of new readers, and allows you to stay afloat even with low writing skills, I also saw people who, simply by getting to the main page, received an influx of new readers, which contributed to their popularity to one degree or another. As a beginner, if you want more people to read your book, you need to fight for every reader in every possible way. It would be nice to come up with something unusual, like a unique cultivation technique.
regarding point 2 above, I have seen you publish 2 chapters at the same time, which is not correct... and I am in no way asking you to release chapters faster than you can afford. Although I can't say for sure, it seems to me that your chapters have more words than the average in one chapter of other authors (from here you can make chapters smaller, but release more often)
about jade beauties, I didn’t mean skin color in general, but the fact that Chinese authors like to fill their books with girls like Chu Dongmei with an ideal figure and facial features capable of overthrowing the country with their beauty, at some point you understand that these "jade beauties" too much and they differ only in their background and character, and so from book to book ...
@himm Thanks again for the suggestions. Next time, I am planning to release 4 chapters on daily basis per week, though the chapters will be a bit shorter, I think it will keep readers more engaged as you have mentioned.
