When Zhao Youyue saw the title of the book, "Beautiful April," she was dumbfounded. It did not look like the title of a web novel at all. If a web novel had such a title, it would already be a flop.
Obviously, this was not a web novel. This was bad news for Zhao Youyue, the "Main Book List Host" of Qidian novel and manga website. If she could not find the author, she would not be able to "customize" a female cameo for her convenience.
She skimmed through the brief introduction of this work on the "Two Dimensional Gate," which was similar to Baidu Encyclopedia. She realized that this was actually a youth literature novel. She could not help but feel a chill in her heart.
It couldn't be helped. Nowadays, literary works related to youth, whether it was novels or movies, had almost completely ruined the word "youth." It seemed that works related to youth that did not contain elements such as "cheating," "abortion," "love triangle," and so on. It seemed that it was embarrassing to say that it was vigorous youth.
Especially the element of "abortion." Zhao Youyue had watched a few juvenile movies before. She could not help but complain. Couldn't these juvenile movies be more innocent? Why did the heroine have to use abortion as a way to express something … Zhao Youyue thought, "Why?"
As for youth literature novels, Zhao Youyue had not read many of them. However, she knew that this type of novel was very popular in the physical book market. In the face of the general trend of web novels, it should be the strongest among the physical novels. Many student readers would buy some youth romance magazines every week, such as "Mengya," "Zui Novel," "Novel Drawing," "Fireworks" and so on.
Many students in her class loved to read these magazines. Even her deskmate Jiang Qing, the little angel, would buy "Mengya Weekly" every week. That's right. "Mengya" in this world was a weekly magazine. Therefore, its sales had always been good. It was not suppressed by other youth literature magazines that had caught up with it. The new concept essay contest that it organized was also the most influential.
Therefore, in this world, "Mengya" should be the most popular youth literature magazine. Zhao Youyue still did not know if "Beautiful April" was serialized in "Mengya". If it was, she would be more at ease, as this meant that it would be more likely to become popular. Naturally, the character that she possessed would be more likely to become an icon.
If it was published in a small, unknown magazine, then she could only continue to curse the "Two Dimensional Gate" for tricking her. If she realized that it couldn't be popular no matter what she did, then she would use a method that would leave all the readers dumbfounded, destroying the work and exiting the market prematurely.
For example, the female character she possessed was actually an alien spy, which meant that she had the ability to produce alien eggs. She first planted the eggs on the male lead, turning him into an alien. In the end, the entire Earth became the home of aliens …
Wouldn't it be interesting for a youth novel to suddenly change its style like this?
Of course, the author would never write such a wild imagination. After all, not every author was like Lin Jianzhong. He would suspect that there was something wrong with his brain. Otherwise, why would he suddenly have such a burst of inspiration?
Youth literature novels were very popular in the physical book market, but not on the internet. This was because youth literature novels were generally not cool.
On the contrary, they always contained some depressing elements. Even if the male and female protagonists fell in love with each other, the ending would still end in tragedy. After all, youth was a beautiful sadness. Most student readers' youth was filled with regret. When they saw such a heart-wrenching ending, even if they were tortured to the point of being torn apart, they would still feel an indescribable pleasure.
This kind of pleasure was probably only understood by students in their adolescence. Therefore, when they walked out of their adolescence, they would feel inexplicably ashamed when they looked back at those youth literature novels — Motherf * cker, were these pretentious words the ones that made me cry silently?
What a shame!
That's right, the writing quality of youth literature novels was very high. You could often see quite amazing sentences. Therefore, many high school students who were good at writing would take out their notebooks when reading youth literature novels and record some so-called classic sentences. Then, they would use them in their essays to make the teacher's eyes light up.
This also explained why Han Leng's high school essays were so good. He began to consciously hone his writing skills in junior high school. In addition, he was originally talented in writing, so he was able to win the first prize in the New Concept Essay Competition.
An author with a good writing style, even if it's just a plain article, will have more readers buy it. For example, Han Leng's "Conquering the World in Online Games". If this kind of theme was written by an author with a bad writing style, he would definitely fail miserably.
However, Han Leng could write this work into an exquisite work. How many exquisite novels did the Qidian novel website have? Probably only a few hundred.
And how many web novel writers were there these days? Not to mention millions, there should be hundreds of thousands of them.
Based on this calculation, it could be seen how important talent was to writing. Those who said that they could become gods by studying hard, was this hard work not a talent?
Han Leng finished his web novel three days after he wrote the title of "Beautiful April". At that time, many hardcore fans asked him when he would publish his next novel. He did not respond, because he did not know when he would write another web novel.
As for this "Beautiful April", he was required to submit about 8,000 words per week. On average, he only needed to write more than 1,000 words per day. When he was writing web novels, he had to write at least 4,000 words per day. Therefore, magazine articles could be refined, but web novels could not. Even for a web novel writer, 8,000 words was probably only a day's worth of updates.
He would probably write less than 200,000 words before he finished his book. Such a number of words might not even be on the shelves for VIP chapters for web novels. However, for a physical book, it was just enough to be published.
For a high school student like Han Leng, writing magazine articles was actually a good choice, because the requirements for web novels were too high. Unfortunately, not everyone had the talent of The Great Scholar Han.
Zhao Youyue did not know that this "Beautiful April" was the masterpiece of her classmate, Han Leng. After reading the introduction of this work, she looked at the characters. She realized that there were quite a lot of female characters. Some of them were purely side characters with only names. She could not help but feel relieved. This meant that she could be more manipulative.
However, she still did not rush into possession. Instead, she exited the "Two Dimensional Gate" and prepared to read through the serialized parts of "Beautiful April". At the same time, she would carefully consider what abilities she could gain from this work.
