Gradually, some clues began to emerge.
The development of the online literature world in this world is completely different from that in the previous life.
It's not that it can't be done.
Rather, the subject matter has deviated from its intended direction.
For example, fantasy only has Western fantasy, there is no Eastern fantasy.
Horror novels are even rarer.
There wasn't even a tomb raiding system.
There are all sorts of novels about the prehistoric era, each written in its own style, with no single genre having a common foundation.
Qiao Yu wasn't interested in Western fantasy.
Especially the names; the Western-style names immediately killed Qiao Yu's desire to read.
If it looks like this, then writing about it is even more difficult.
If I really wanted to write something, I could write about Eastern fantasy.
However, transitioning from Western fantasy to Eastern fantasy requires a market cultivation process.
There are also schools of thought like tomb raiding and prehistoric exploration.
but……
Sometimes, a novel won't necessarily become popular just because you publish it; you have to cater to market demands.
These non-existent schools of thought have now been created by Qiao Yu.
Either you'll achieve instant fame, or you might fail to be accepted by the market and become a flop...
After thinking it over, Qiao Yu finally focused his attention on the fantasy/martial arts genre.
Currently, the most popular genre online is fantasy novels.
Perhaps we can start from this point, which will likely prevent us from failing and at the same time help us build a reputation.
Once we have a certain number of readers...
Introduce other novel genres!
When talking about fantasy novels, one classic work cannot be ignored.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yu wrote a book title in Word: *Zhu Xian*.
"System, help me redeem 'Zhu Xian'."
[Ding! Insufficient points!]
"what?"
Qiao Yu was a little confused, "How many points does this book have?"
[500 points for the complete novel "Zhu Xian"!]
"Uh……"
So expensive!
He currently has only 300 points.
But consider the commercial value of this book.
Qiao Yu felt it was perfectly reasonable.
Even after the company is established in the future, we can try adapting it into animation or film...
Damn it, if I personally handle the adaptation of "Zhu Xian" and it turns out to be a piece of crap, I might as well just kill myself.
After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked, "How many points would I need if I only redeemed the first 50 chapters?"
【50 points! 】
"That's it, 50 chapters, redeem!"
With his hands flying across the keyboard, Qiao Yu wrote the first five chapters in one go, without adding a single stroke.
Immediately afterwards, I logged into a novel's website.
Click on the Author Center.
To become an online author, you first need to create an author account and choose a pen name.
Stir-fried cucumber
"Uh……"
This is the author name created by Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu felt that he was destined to walk a unique and leading path in the online literature world.
Then, copy the first three chapters that you have written to the author backend.
Let's try uploading all the results.
The rest of the time is up to the editor's review.
……
My new book is launching! I'm asking for your support, likes, and reviews!
Is signing a contract difficult? A chance encounter with Sang Zhi.
But I didn’t expect it.
The screenwriter review process was quite efficient; Qiao Yu only waited about ten minutes before his work was approved.
Not only did the review pass, but Qiao Yu also discovered that there was an additional comment in the book review section.
Holy crap! Is this data usage really that high?
Comments are already being made right after the book's release?
But Qiao Yu took a closer look.
But it turned out to be an advertisement review.
Wow, congratulations on launching your new book! Join our new author support group; we're all newbies here, xxxxxxxx
Are you sure this isn't a small, low-level spam group?
Ok.
It's rare to see someone so enthusiastic about advertising.
Qiao Yu then joined this new author support group.
Welcome to the newcomer...
As soon as you enter the group.
The authors in the group all typed messages of welcome.
This made Qiao Yu feel somewhat flattered.
So enthusiastic?
Qiao Yu is indeed a newcomer.
Thank you everyone, this newbie is here to pay my respects.
Qiao Yu sent a trembling emoji.
No need to thank me, we're all newbies. By the way, what book are you writing?
An author with the online name "Big Muscle King" asked in the group.
Qiao Yu scrolled through the chat history and saw that everyone in the group seemed to be sharing book titles.
This seems to be the norm?
So he sent the novel's title and link to the group.
【Zhu Xian】
[Oh, Platinum Beauty, wishing it great success, I'll add it to my favorites for you.]
I'll save this for later.
Qiao Yu opened the author's backend to take a look.
It really is.
My fellow authors were quite supportive; the number of favorites in the backend went from 0 to 10.
This is what mutual help among newcomers is all about.
Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Unlike my previous life in the online novel world, where nobody dared to reveal their book title?
Colleagues are enemies! And the online literature world is full of enemies!
Qiao Yu then remained silent, simply watching the group chat.
basically.
The people in the group were talking about popular books, writing, and so on.
Many people also complained that signing a contract was too difficult.
Some writers have written over 100,000 words but haven't signed contracts yet.
If you don't have a contract, your novel won't be recommended.
If it's not recommended, readers will generally have a hard time seeing it.
That way you won't make any money.
So the first step to earning money by writing online novels is to sign a contract.
However, signing a contract is not so easy.
