Renaming Announcement

Name Change Announcement: "Bone Dragon Heavy Industry"

1. The book's previous title, "Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide," actually comes from a book I really like, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a British science fiction novel from the 1980s, which may be a bit old.

Actually, this is quite a famous book----

I really like the title "Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide," as it has a touch of humor. However, it has always had the flaw of not being able to properly cover the content of the book. Some readers may find the content completely different from what they expected when they saw the title.

Given the continuously declining traffic, after discussing with the editor, it was decided to change the book title. The new title is "Bone Dragon Heavy Industry".

It encompasses both magical fantasy and mechanical elements, at least in terms of content.

In short, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please forgive any discomfort the new book title may cause.

2. Why change the name? From my personal aesthetic point of view, I really like the current book title.

Then why change it?

This book had a low retention rate from the very beginning.

The vast majority of readers who click through will abandon the book—this figure is far higher than the average.

Meanwhile, the recommended traffic generation effect is far below the average level.

On the one hand, I do have shortcomings in various aspects of my writing, but it is indeed unacceptable to say that I am inferior to the average level of books on Qidian.

Unfortunately, data is cold and impersonal.

Therefore, the analysis suggests that there is a mismatch between the book title and the content, which may be part of the reason.

3. The starting point for choosing a new book title is a highly competitive market where people choose books every day, and the title is a key factor.

Through communication with editors, it was found that when a book reaches a size of 2 million words or more, readers pay more attention to the book's theme and whether it matches what they want to read.

Therefore, from a "communication" perspective, it is more appropriate to use shorter book titles and directly provide the elements compared to longer titles.

The hype is meaningless; "Bone Dragon" has a certain reading threshold and is not a mainstream style.

Books designed solely to attract readers, such as "Miss Bone Dragon's Repair Log" and "Transmigrating to Another World: Transforming Miss Bone Dragon into a War Fortress," are not suitable for this purpose.

Although it may seem cheerful, how many readers who click in don't get confused and eventually abandon the book?

Uh, this part is my problem.

My explanations of many plot points are not straightforward, and my handling of information is immature. In many places, I assume the reader will "pay attention" and "understand," which in fact creates many obstacles to understanding and getting the plot, indirectly increasing the demands on the reader's patience and analytical abilities.

In addition, there are some poison points and "special characteristics".

This results in the book being targeted at a niche audience.

So, I am very grateful to the readers who have made it this far for your understanding and tolerance!

This leads to the following trends in choosing new book titles: first, shorter titles; second, clearer elements; and third, increased adaptability.

That's how these candidates came about.

Bone Dragon Heavy Industry

The White Bone Machine

Bone Dragon Mechanic

In short, the name will be changed in about two weeks.

I apologize for disturbing your reading, and I hope the name change will not cause you any discomfort.

Please leave any suggestions regarding the book title in the comments.

Thank you everyone for your concern!
