114 It Only Got Weirder (1/2)
Su Yan took out his phone and looked at the publication stats the Lovely Writing System had just told him about. If the website was really broken, then at least the system should tell him that he hadn't achieved the first batch of passive tasks.
Strangely enough, the system didn't show what he thought it would. Instead, all three of them were checked.
He clicked on them to make sure it wasn't displaying wrong just on the front page but instead of opening anything the numbers he was supposed to achieve just became higher and two other passive tasks were added:
[Get ten comments
Get ten reviews
Get one 5-star review
Get one 1-star review
Have ten followers]
Su Yan frowned. What was this thing doing? Why was he supposed to get a 1-star review?! Wouldn't it be good if his ratings were as high as possible? That wasn't a goal he wanted to achieve at all!
Fuming he wanted to close the system when he noticed that this wasn't the only odd thing about these publication stats. No, the strangest thing was that not counting the shitty task of getting a 1-star review all of them had already been fulfilled, too! What was going on here?!
Su Yan clicked again and the numbers refreshed once more.
[Get 100 comments
Get 100 reviews
Get ten 5-star reviews
Get one 1-star review
Have 100 followers]
Su Yan mechanically turned to Nie Chang. He didn't even dare to take a closer look to find out whether or not one of this third batch of tasks was already checked again.
”I don't understand what is happening here.”
Nie Chang gave a smile and looped an arm around Su Yan's shoulders. ”Maybe you were lucky. Or maybe you just struck the right note with that story. Sometimes life is like this. Come on, don't look at these stats any longer. Better go and read your comments and reviews. You'll know what your readers think then.”
”You're right!” Su Yan hurriedly closed the Lovely Writing System and entered the website again. He still had the first chapter opened.
On this website, the readers couldn't just comment on chapters as a whole. They could even comment on paragraphs. Back when he had written xianxia the readers had already used this option so he didn't think of it as strange. He opened the comments column and slowly started to scroll down. To summarize it in one sentence: It started off weird and it became even weirder when he got further down.
The first was a comment on the very first paragraph where Yun Bei Fen's Master had brought him to the sect.
