The New Book Monthly Ticket Chart, A Critical Situation As heroes contend for supremacy, even Baili must post a separate chapter to beg for monthly tickets.
National Day is already on its third day, and the double-ticket period has passed its halfway mark, yet Purple Mansion's ranking on the New Book Chart is lagging, hovering between eighth and tenth place.
For Baili, this result is deeply humiliating.
[Mansion, Urgent Military Dispatch!!!] The New Book Monthly Ticket Chart, the Monthly Ticket War, a fierce, bloody battle rages! Dozens of Qi Refining stage cultivators are charging toward the top spot simultaneously.
The collection count of thirty-six thousand and the rapidly increasing subscriptions invigorated Ye Qin.
However, Ye Qin realized he simply couldn't outpace the other protagonists on the New Book Monthly Ticket Chart.
Even giving it his absolute all, he couldn't catch up, forced to watch others surge far ahead while he ate their dust.
That feeling was truly awful—a blow to his reputation.
Ye Qin stood stunned: Is my cultivation insufficient?! Am I still just a pitiful Qi Refining stage cultivator while everyone else has secretly achieved Foundation Establishment? Is that why I'm forced to eat their dust? We all started cultivating at the same time—why am I so far behind them? Could it be my Spiritual Roots are too poor? Mine are at the full potential value of 100! PS: Military dispatch concluded.
Now, let's talk about why Baili is writing this book, Purple Mansion, to address some doubts lingering in the minds of a few readers! Many readers might know that Baili previously specialized in online gaming novels.
The three consecutive VIP novels—Celestial Dynasty, Metropolis, and Empire—were all online gaming works.
Online gaming had become one of Baili's defining hallmarks.
These three gaming novels were not identical; rather, they represented continuous transformation and adventurous attempts at breakthrough.
The first, Celestial Dynasty, was a pure "Three Kingdoms-themed online game." The second, Metropolis, was "Three Kingdoms-themed online game + Farming/Development." The third, Empire, was "Farming/Development + Empire-themed online game." One could say that Baili's previous three books were actually a connected lineage, walking step-by-step.
Each book made adjustments and innovations based on the previous one, trying out various approaches.
After finishing Metropolis and Empire, Baili acquired a second hallmark: "Farming/Development." When many readers think of Baili, they think of online gaming, city construction, and the "Online Game Farming Faction." Now, the fourth book, Purple Mansion, is a high-risk adventure Baili is undertaking— A life-or-death major transition.
Jumping directly from the grand theme of online gaming to the grand theme of Xianxia.
Familiar readers of ** might be aware that many famous writers "perish" during thematic transitions, failing in their attempts and becoming cultivators who died before fulfilling their ambitions.
Those who succeed in transitioning are the minority.
After all, novels in every genre attract distinctly different readership pools with unique preferences and require entirely different writing styles.
Leaping into an unfamiliar environment naturally carries a very high risk of perishing.
To ensure this transition succeeds, Baili has learned from the experiences of "countless perished, and those ancient cultivators who have already ascended." Furthermore, building upon the foundation of his previous books, he has retained the "Farming/Development" characteristic while replacing the online gaming theme with the cultivation theme.
Baili’s fourth book is "Farming/Development (Purple Mansion Mode) + Cultivation (Xianxia Mode)." Farming/Development is being integrated with Immortal Cultivation.
Many readers mention that this book carries some traces of online gaming.
The reason is quite simple: after writing online games for several years, completely eliminating those traces in one go is not an easy task.
Baili has worked very hard to erase those remnants to make the book look less like a gaming novel.
Please trust that Purple Mansion will only get better as it is written, maturing rapidly.
Furthermore, one point must be emphasized: Baili is not innovating within the already highly mature "Xianxia Mode." Instead, he is focusing his efforts on the developing and strengthening "Farming/Development Mode" to bring out the greatest highlight of Purple Mansion.
After all, over these seven or eight years, the cultivation system, through a batch of exceptionally outstanding works like Piaomiao and Fan Ren, has established a relatively perfect, stable worldview and background setting in the entire cultivation world.
Tampering with it arbitrarily would only cause readers to feel unreceptive and uneasy.
Moreover, Baili is still not very familiar with the grand theme of cultivation.
Blindly altering the "Xianxia Mode" would just be showing off one's meager skills before the true masters.
It is much better to carve out a path in the field he excels at—"Farming/Development." Therefore, Baili has adopted the current ** most standard cultivation world view and background system.
Simultaneously, within this standard cultivation system, he is engaging in Farming/Development to create the most distinctive creativity, cultivating a sky for the "Xianxia Farming Faction." As the title suggests, the core focus of the entire book is: how to farm within the "Purple Mansion," the prerequisites for farming, the process of farming, what items are grown, and how the protagonist uses these items to navigate the cultivation world.
This is one of the greatest features of Purple Mansion.
But can the "Xianxia Farming Faction" succeed? Can Purple Mansion carve out this path? Will it, like countless tragic ancient cultivators, perish before fulfilling its ambition—is this initial foray into the mode doomed to fail? Or can it genuinely forge a long-lasting path? All of this depends on the intensity of the readers' approval and support! Please believe in Baili's skill; even if countless wood brambles block the way ahead, he will cleave a bloody path through them! October is the turning point, the most crucial month for the success of Purple Mansion.
National Day has already passed its first three days, and the double monthly ticket period is more than half over.
Can you bear to watch Purple Mansion perish?! Let Purple Mansion charge forward and fight its way into the top three of the New Book Monthly Ticket Chart! All glory belongs to the top three! Only the top three can prove that Purple Mansion is treading an innovative path; falling short of the top three is not proof of success.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion.
I will say nothing more.
After eating, Baili will immediately go to his desk to code words, coding until 1 AM, striving to finish the next chapter as early as possible! Monthly tickets, monthly tickets, monthly tickets!!!! Only monthly tickets can prove everything.
Will Purple Mansion perish, becoming just another tragic sacrifice among the many failed transitions with a desolate end? Or will it ascend to become one of the respectable mainstream paths in the cultivation world? It is all up to the monthly tickets to speak!
