The poster asked the experts for advice, but I am afraid that the experts cannot answer you accurately. That is because the experts cannot accurately grasp the readers' tastes.
Then I will tell you, I mainly write about the road to immortality! I am an old bookworm who has been visiting major book sites on the Internet for six years. If a reader wants to tell you, what readers like, the 80% correct answer is correct!
Personally, I don’t like Zhu Xian, and I don’t need to tell you if you’ve read it. What I write in the end is more romantic than romance... Although it can impress readers, I’m afraid it won’t work after being moved. It will create a sense of alienation...
As for the stories about mortals cultivating immortals and Immortal Ni, which focus on cultivating immortals, they are more suitable for social survival. The protagonists will not influence themselves because of their feelings. They are like a They are cunning people or businessmen who know how to bend and stretch. They will not help others for no reason, such as you and me. Unless you are a very familiar person, it is impossible to ask them to help without extra effort.
(Just like when you pass by a dark street or a small road with fewer people, a group of people are beating up a student. In ordinary novels, most of the protagonists will beat their chests. Go to help that student. So if this person is not a powerful person, he is a superman, or a hero; but what if this is a reality? Does a hero exist? You pass by and find five or six people beating a student. Would you rush forward without hesitation? You wouldn't. Most of the time, you would just watch from the sidelines. If it were me, I would do the same. If the person being beaten was someone you were particularly close to, you wouldn't rush forward. You would. Go call a group of people who are more powerful than this group of bad guys, or who can drive away these bad guys, instead of being stupid enough to rush in and get beaten. This is the reality;)
Therefore, instead of writing a way to let go. People have a sense of alienation, so it is better to write some novels that are close to the ordinary life in the world to arouse the excitement of readers.
Of course, whether you write about feelings or about cultivating immortality depends on you. Others can only express their own opinions, and whether you agree with a certain respondent's opinion... In addition to yourself, there are also Only ghosts know.
But no matter what you write, as long as it is good-looking, there will be readers. Even if there are criticisms, it doesn’t matter. After all, some people don’t like Jin Yong and Gu Long’s works.

Regarding the book title:
First of all, the importance of book titles is conciseness. If you can use one word, don’t use two. If you can use two words, don’t use three. If you can use three, don’t use four. For words, you can use four characters but not five. Because only conciseness can be powerful and promote word-of-mouth communication. Maybe you have many reasons to choose a longer name, such as it can describe it more accurately, convey more information, etc. That would be more accurate, but no one would remember it and it would obscure the title. Let me give you an example. There is a super best-selling book called "The Greatest Salesman in the World" (if I were the planning editor of this book, I would also remove the three words "in the world". These three words are completely redundant. ), how would you feel if the title of this book was changed to "Some Great Aphorisms and Very Philosophical Stories About Success in Life and Marketing Yourself". So, remember, the book title doesn’t have to be precise, but it should be powerful enough to be remembered as soon as you hear it.
Secondly, if the title of the book can convey some human touch, try to convey some human touch, because the computer book itself is cold enough. If a book title sounds like it is talking to a wall, then no. How many people will be interested in reading it, but if the title sounds like it is talking to you, most readers will stop and turn it curiously to see what this little book wants to say to me. . There's just a simple psychological factor involved.
Finally, I would like to emphasize again that book titles are never about accuracy, scope, meaning, or what most editors like to emphasize: "readership positioning." Almost all planning editors like to use the word "reader group positioning" anytime and anywhere. It seems that only by dragging out this word can it be shown that they are indeed in the planning editing profession. And whether the word "reader group positioning" is used frequently is one of the rules for judging whether an editor is out of tune. If you are engaged in planning, then there is a way to quickly take a small step forward on the road of planning, that is - forget this word as soon as possible.
Finally, I use four words to summarize the criteria for the book title: reliable, powerful, concise, and unforgettable.
