Explicit Promotion!

To be honest, publicity is not embarrassing; it is also a form of self-promotion.

Publicity is not embarrassing at all; in fact, it's a legitimate form of self-promotion. Many successful authors and artists actively engage in promoting their work to ensure it reaches the right audience and gains the recognition it deserves. Embracing publicity allows talented individuals like Alexis to showcase their creativity and connect with readers who would genuinely appreciate their efforts.

Internet publicity has proven to be a low-cost and highly efficient method of promotion in the modern era.

In my previous life on Earth, I observed how celebrities, writers, and individuals with some level of fame actively used online platforms to engage with their audience and boost their popularity.

With the widespread accessibility of the internet, social media, and various online communities, talented individuals can now reach a global audience and gain recognition without the need for traditional, expensive marketing campaigns. It's an empowering tool that allows creators like Alexis to showcase their work, interact with fans, and expand their reach far beyond geographical boundaries.

When a new film or TV series is released, the people involved in its production, including actors, directors, and producers, actively engage in relentless promotions on various online platforms. They work day and night to create a buzz and frenzy of publicity to ensure that the project gains maximum exposure. Social media platforms like Instagram, forums, Facebook, and others play a crucial role in reaching a wide audience and generating excitement about the release. By doing so, they make sure that everyone is well-informed about the film or TV series, leading to increased interest and potential success for the project. This proactive approach to online promotion has become a standard practice in the entertainment industry to maximize the impact of their creations on the audience.

In today's highly competitive era, having a great product or talent alone is not enough to guarantee success. Effective promotion and publicity play a vital role in reaching a broader audience and gaining recognition. A strong marketing strategy, combined with continuous efforts to generate buzz, can make a significant difference in the success of a novel or any other creative work.

For authors like, promoting their novel in the right way can lead to increased popularity, greater readership, and potentially more financial gains. Word-of-mouth is a powerful tool in the digital age, and if readers genuinely enjoy a novel, they are likely to share their positive experiences, further enhancing its visibility and reputation.

In this interconnected world, leveraging online platforms, social media, and other digital channels allows talented individuals to engage with their audience directly and cultivate a loyal following. It's essential to harness the potential of internet publicity to propel one's work towards success in the fiercely competitive landscape of today's creative industries.

Alexis is no stranger to the realities of the world. Through his previous experiences, he has witnessed numerous instances of the darker aspects of the industry. He understands that for a work to truly succeed, its quality alone isn't enough. Success relies on a balanced combination of talent and effective promotion. In his view, fifty percent of the equation is the talent and effort put into creating a high-quality piece of work, while the other fifty percent lies in the strategic promotion and marketing efforts to ensure it reaches its intended audience. By acknowledging the significance of both factors, he sets himself on a path to maximize his novel's potential for success.

On Ember Celestine, the online community of netizens seems to possess a different and refreshing approach compared to the often hectic and frenzied online promotion and marketing seen on Earth's internet. Here, users are relatively innocent and straightforward in their interactions. Instead of engaging in aggressive marketing tactics, they simply share their content on the web and participate in discussions without much fuss or drama. This laid-back and genuine atmosphere fosters a more authentic and enjoyable online experience, allowing creators like Alexis to connect with readers in a more meaningful way.

Considering his background and knowledge of marketing techniques from his previous life on Earth, Alexis believes that applying some of those strategies to promote his novel on Ember Celestine should yield positive results. He anticipates that his novel could quickly gain popularity and build a stronger reputation among the netizens of this world. Armed with a combination of his creative talent and his understanding of effective marketing, Alexis is hopeful that he can make a significant impact and reach a wider audience with his work.

With his plan in motion, Alexis wasted no time and took immediate action. He decided to promote his novel on the most renowned Seer Forum of Ember Celestine. To do this effectively, he created a new account specifically for this purpose.

He used this new account to write an article titled "Teacher Dani Daniel: The Most Outstanding Erotic Novel I've Read in Recent Years, Previous Novels Were All Garbage."

The article was full of flattery, praising the novel from various angles such as plot, creativity, depth, and description, making it sound like a heavenly masterpiece that is a must-read, even causing some embarrassment to Alexis with its overly sweet and exaggerated words.

Nonetheless, this was merely the initial step. Alexis took it a step further by creating five or six anonymous accounts and using them to respond to his own article. This tactic aimed to create the illusion of widespread admiration and buzz around his novel, potentially attracting more attention and readers to his work.

A/N*: Sockpuppeting is the act of creating multiple fake or anonymous accounts to manipulate or deceive others, often by praising or supporting oneself or one's own content online. The term "sockpuppet" originates from the idea of using a puppet (fake identity) to create the illusion of multiple individuals endorsing or engaging with a particular person, product, or idea. It is generally considered unethical and can harm one's reputation if discovered. Many online platforms and communities have policies against sockpuppeting to maintain transparency and fairness in discussions and content promotion.

-"Absolutely agree! The original poster is right. This novel might not be the best in the world, but currently, there is no other work that can compare to it. It has become the standard-bearer of the genre and stands out amidst countless mediocre novels. I can already predict that it will be the hottest sensual novel of this year, marking the rise of a new generation of sensual novel masters."

One of the sock puppets boasts.

- "Hottest my ass, what's the point of not boasting? 'Master,' my foot! Why don't you call it 'Masterpiece of Garbage'? I've read this novel, and it's totally trash, unbearable to read. Even if it was written by an elementary school student, it would be better than this."

Another sock puppet used all his/her strength to criticize. After all, promotion couldn't be all praise; otherwise, it would be easily seen through by others. It needed a mix of praise and criticism to appear genuine.

-"Exactly! I took a quick look, and it turns out it's written by someone from the Veridora District. Everyone knows that the cultural level in that district is like a desert on Ember Celestine. They've never produced any literary masters, and their novels are all garbage. Honestly, don't get mad at me, but people from Veridora District lack culture, at least a hundred years behind my Embercrest District."

One of the sock puppet deliberately fueled regional disputes with malicious intent.

As the entire Ember Celestine is unified, the planet is divided into nine major regions, namely :

Embercrest District,

Evergreen District,

Aquilon District,

Verdantia District,

Veridora District,

Nocurna District,

Caelia District,

Coralia District, and

Nautica District.

Each region's development varies, which naturally leads to tensions and conflicts between them. People from different regions often have a negative view of each other, and online discussions frequently devolve into regional arguments and heated debates.

-"All right, you, a dog from the Embercrest District, don't think you're so great just because you have a few celebrities. It's all thanks to some old folks supporting you. The younger generation hasn't produced any outstanding figures, and you've long been in decline, relying on your elders. Let's not even talk about other things, just this novel alone can easily outperform anything from your Embercrest District for the next hundred years."

One of the sock puppet screamed hoarsely, as if representing the oppressed people of the Veridora District.

-"That's right, I've long been disgusted by those trash people from the Embercrest District. They're just a declining place, what's so impressive about them? They're not even worth being arrogant," a bystander who didn't know the truth chimed in, "Of course, as someone from the Aquilon District, I'm speaking from a very fair perspective."

-"Enough of your nonsense! Stop pretending to be fair! The starved camel is still bigger than the horse. No matter what, the Embercrest District is not something you trash from other places can compare to. And you people from the Aquilon District are no better, pretending to be righteous here. Everyone knows that your place has the most scammers, and you haven't caught even a few of the telecom fraudsters."

An angered individual from the Embercrest District immediately responded with a counterattack in a new post.

As it was nighttime, the post full of controversy immediately sparked a heated discussion on the Seer Forum, attracting numerous onlookers.

In just one hour, the post had already reached a staggering 3.6 million clicks and had garnered 89,000 comments and replies. It was becoming difficult to keep up with the rapid flow of interactions.

The people from the nine districts started verbally attacking each other, reaching the point of personal insults. Some even threatened to hire people from other districts to physically harm each other if they made money from their endeavors. The atmosphere became extremely heated and aggressive.

The forum's administrator, the "Seer Forum" moderator, had to step in to restore order and maintain fairness.

Alexis, the instigator of this situation, was also very speechless. He didn't expect these people to be so easily provoked and the atmosphere to become so intense. It was far beyond his imagination.

But if you think about it, it's understandable. These people on Ember Celestine haven't experienced the advanced publicity methods from Earth, which have been developed for many years. Confronted with such sophisticated techniques, these novices are left bewildered, so it's not surprising to see such an effect.

But stopping now is impossible. To create a viral topic, countless people must participate. This is just the beginning; it's far from being over.

So he went to some infertility-related forums and registered several fake accounts. Then, using one of these accounts, he quickly started a thread with the title:

"A Blessing for Infertile Couples: Sensual Novel, Teacher Dani Daniel."

-"This novel is amazing! Before, even if I took Viagra, I couldn't perform, but ever since I read this novel, my back and legs don't hurt anymore, and I feel refreshed and energetic. I can go up nine rounds without even catching my breath, and my wife doesn't scold me anymore. She looks at me with admiration. I feel like this novel has changed my life and given me a second youth. It's not just a novel; it's a miracle worker, even better than Viagra!"

One of the anonymous users appeared to share their experience.

-"Everyone, please don't doubt it. I had similar experiences too. At first, I didn't believe it, but my dad recommended it to me. I watched it with some doubt, but it really works much better than taking medicine."

-"Absolutely! I couldn't agree more. This novel is like a miracle, it brings back the passion and vitality that I thought I had lost. It's a game-changer, a true blessing for those facing such challenges."

-"That's right! It's worth a try. Who knows, it might just work like magic without costing much. Why not give it a shot? You've got nothing to lose."

-"Really? Is it really that effective? I'm going to give it a try."

-"Big brother, thank you so much! If it's really that amazing, then you've saved our youth."

-"Yeah, ever since I got this condition, I've been looked down upon by my boss at work, and my wife at home. Even the prostitutes don't want anything to do with me. It's so miserable; life has lost all its meaning."

A/N*: Max, is that you?

A group of netizens who were unaware of the truth were very grateful.

-"Don't be too polite, helping others is just how I am as a person. Don't feel too grateful to me."

Alexis's alias immediately replied.
