"The author and I agree that it's time for us to create three groups. At the same time, in order to better serve new readers, we also hope that 100 old group friends can follow the new group owner to join the three groups, so as to Let the three groups grow up quickly."
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" ushered in an unprecedented wave of expansion. Who could believe that in just two days, the second group was full of people, so the establishment of the third group had to start again.
After having the experience of the second group, Zhao Yun, who was the best in the world, started the construction of the third group. It was finally decided that Guan Zhizhai would lead the team to create the third group.
Originally, with his qualifications for watching the mentally retarded, he was absolutely not qualified to be the leader of the three groups. But the problem is that the song itself was composed by watching the mentally retarded. Now that someone has offered to lead the three groups, it is difficult for everyone to refuse. , otherwise wouldn’t this be someone who forgets to dig a well just because he wants to drink water?
So Guan Zhidao happily became the leader of three groups, and took a group of 100 old readers to open three groups.
At the same time, the number of collections of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has also reached a peak, with the total number of collectors successfully exceeding 50,000.
For a new book that has just been published for five months, this is definitely a pretty good achievement. However, like "Seven In, Seven Out", it has already exceeded 150 million clicks and more than 6 million people on the entire Internet. Judging from the attention, this data seems a bit too miserable.
At the same time, criticisms about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms have gradually increased on the Internet.
"can't read!"
"Three Chapters to Persuade Resignation"
"The author doesn't write notes, he has to refer to translation dictionaries, etc."
"The rubbish author is obsessed with his own world, suddenly disregarding the readers' experience, and the opening chapter is extremely poisonous." These comments have unexpectedly caused a lot of dissatisfaction with the reviews of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The friends in the three groups were very dissatisfied with these comments, and the combat effectiveness of the readers of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was naturally beyond compare. Therefore, there was no scolding war over "Seven In and Seven Out", but there was one over the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. got up.
Many readers of Romance of the Three Kingdoms spontaneously jumped out to confront those who criticized them, accusing them of not being qualified to criticize because they had not read the entire book. The reason why the author did not write notes was to ensure the completeness and experience of reading, otherwise everyone The chapter is 3,000 words long, and I have to add 2,000 words of notes. Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?

Is it also possible to filter readers?
For example, in the book "xxxx is very healthy", the author refused to let the protagonist write notes. As a result, a large number of readers were eliminated in the first thirty chapters, and now subscriptions are very poor.
Looking at these comments on the Internet, Liu Xu found that he didn't need to say anything at all, as caring readers would help him spray them all back.
Although Liu Xu was a little embarrassed to see these scoldings, because he simply didn't write comments because he was lazy, he never expected that it would end up like this.
"How about I change another annotated book and publish it?" Liu Xu asked tentatively in the group. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, he was immediately met with a sea of opposition. Almost everyone in the group Many readers felt that Liu Xu would never be able to publish an annotated version. The reasons were various and very rich, which made Liu Xu a little dumbfounded.
It was rare for him to work hard and produce an additional annotated edition, but he ended up attracting such huge opposition.
"Master, it is very natural for these readers to object!" Cai Wenji on the side said with an expression that I had already guessed would be the result. "Master, the current readers are reading through the non-annotated version while looking at the dictionary. Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you now publish an annotated version, it will make the existing readers feel that all their hard work was not worth it. This will give them a very huge sense of loss, and they will naturally Raise objections!”
"Then do you think I shouldn't launch an annotated version?" Liu Xu asked.
"It should be, but not now!" Cai Wenji said, "The master's achievement is entirely dependent on the readers' spontaneous pursuit and second creation. It is unwise to offend all the old readers at this time."
"Besides, this is not completely without benefits. If a work has a threshold for entry, it will separate the master's work from other works, forming a natural level difference."
"Just like in today's world, there are artificial starch and natural potatoes on the market. In fact, the two taste the same, but the price of natural potatoes is more than a hundred times that of artificial starch. Why? It is because the difficulty of obtaining the two is different. Natural potatoes The price will naturally be more expensive.”
"Master, the same is true. Because your reading threshold is higher, the value will naturally be higher. If the master publishes an annotated version, the difficulty of reading will be reduced, but the value will be reduced!" Cai Wenji said, "So the master should not Publishing an annotated version will probably completely offend these old readers."
"But if this happens, won't it be difficult for me to expand the number of readers?" Liu Xu said.
"I dare to ask the master, is there anyone in this world who has never eaten natural potatoes?" Cai Wenji asked with a smile.
"This doesn't seem to be much, because it seems that during the holidays, even ordinary families will find ways to buy natural potatoes for a feast!" Liu Xu said thoughtfully.
"Yes, this is the truth. No matter how expensive natural potatoes are, as long as you are willing to spend a year's effort to save money, everyone will have the opportunity to eat them. No matter how high the reading threshold of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is, as long as you are willing to cooperate and compare Dictionaries can still be read easily, the only difference is whether readers are willing to read with a dictionary."
"But if one day in the future, the name of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms hangs high in the sky, becoming the most famous and famous among all, everyone will be proud to talk about the story content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and everyone will be ashamed of not understanding the Three Kingdoms. If you want to chat with people from Romance."
"I believe that all readers will endure the discomfort in their hearts and force themselves to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms according to the dictionary. So what difference does it make if there is a threshold at that time?" Cai Wenji said with a smile.
"Tsk, tsk, you said it nicely, can the Romance of the Three Kingdoms really reach this level?" Liu Xu couldn't help but laugh.
"The slave doesn't know, but the master must have the answer in his mind!" Cai Wenji said.
"That's..." Liu Xu couldn't help but nodded as he thought of the status of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in China in his previous life.
"But my lord, Wenji would also like to remind you that the current prosperity is temporary, and in the near future, all of this may completely collapse!" Cai Wenji said suddenly.
"I understand!" Liu Xu's expression froze, and then he nodded and said, "I have been mentally prepared for this for a long time. I don't know if these three groups can survive for three months!"
Three months later, Guan Yu should have been defeated in Fancheng, Zhang Fei should have been brutally beheaded by Xiaoxiao, and Liu Bei should have died of illness in Baidi City.
At that time, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was about to be half-completed, and when Prime Minister Zhuge died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, the entire book would have entered garbage time.
So there is no need for me to think about the issue of annotation or not. In this world, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms will eventually be completely destroyed, just because this is real history!
All this is the fault of history!
