Zhao Youyue was not in a hurry to find the author, "Stop Gambling." Instead, she was considering whether there was a need for her to properly shape the characters in this world.
After some consideration, the conclusion she came to was — — yes!
"Dog Days" was a "cute pet transformation type of work." Although it was a niche work, as long as it was written well, it would not be a problem for it to gain a small amount of popularity. There would be many die-hard fans.
In another world, "Cat Days" was a similar work. It was not a big hit, but it was definitely popular.
There was no doubt that the creator, Stop Gambling, had a good character. His writing style was also above the standard. That leisurely mood was exuded from his bones. It could make readers who liked it feel that it was especially good and could not help but reward the work …
Of course, readers who did not like it would naturally not be able to continue reading. They would think that the protagonist was too leisurely, without any motivation to improve himself. "Dog Days" was really a dog, acting cute. What was there to see?
However, all of this showed that this work had the potential to become a highly popular work. Its only flaw was the updates. As long as the updates could be sped up, or even maintained at a stable rate of one update per day, even if it was only two thousand words, it would be much better than this random update. As long as the number of people who chased after the latest updates increased, it would definitely become more and more popular!
As a veteran web novel reader, of course, Zhao Youyue knew that Qidian also had a way to increase the ranking of a work by giving red packets of recommendation votes and monthly votes. She also knew that she could go through Taobao and contact the "God of Brushing" to further increase the exposure. As long as she did not brush too much, she could brush the God of Brushing off the rankings. Of course, the officials clearly forbade the manipulation of votes, but reporting it would only work if it was done by the God of Brushing off. That's just pure jealousy!
Book writing was actually a game for tycoons. With money, you could increase the exposure crazily and do whatever you want. Without money, you could only wait for the officials to recommend it. The effect was quite mediocre. When readers saw that the book was not doing well, what was the point of reading it?
Therefore, Zhao Youyue decided that as long as "Dog Days" kept updating, as a Godly Tycoon reader, she would directly promote this work and make it popular. This way, the character that she wanted to possess would have a higher chance of becoming a highly popular character, and in turn, obtain character cards.
That's right. Zhao Youyue was not here to obtain an iconic character card. The requirements for both the creator and the work were too high. "Dog Days" had obviously not reached the level of an iconic character, and the creator, "Stop Gambling", was so unreliable
Since Zhao Youyue felt that "Dog Days" had the potential to create a good character, she would naturally consider which character to possess, and what kind of personality and abilities to set for the character.
There were quite a lot of female side characters in this novel, and they all had names. However, they were really side characters that appeared in the novel and disappeared after a while. Perhaps the author had forgotten about them as he wrote.
Many new writers often made the same mistake when they were writing. Because they did not pay attention to the portrayal of the characters, many of the characters were too generic and hard to remember. So, the characters often appeared and disappeared quickly. There was no character that was irreplaceable.
This was actually a good thing for Zhao Youyue. At least, she would not be in an awkward situation like Rosemary's "The Strongest King," where there was not even a single female character with a name. She would have to personally ask Rosemary for a cameo
Now, Zhao Youyue did not even have to ask "Stop Gambling" for a cameo. There were indeed many female cameos in the novel. Choosing anyone would be much easier for her.
On the other hand, "Xia Qingqing," who was almost the designated female protagonist, did not have much room for maneuvering. This character did not have much value in possessing her. As a female CEO, she did not seem to have any ambition in her career. All she saw was her interacting warmly with her pet
Xia Qingqing did not have the demeanor of an overbearing CEO at all. Instead, she was like a gentle big sister, giving off the feeling of motherly love. Perhaps this was the perfect woman in the eyes of the creator, "Stop Gambling"?
Generally speaking, the male and female protagonists written by the author should be the ideal characters of the author's fantasy if there were no accidents.
Zhao Youyue felt that "Xia Qingqing" would not be able to "win without doing anything." Even if she possessed this character, she would not be able to be so intimate with her pet, knowing that there was a man's soul in it. She did not have any experience in raising a dog, she only knew how to raise humans
A fake heroine like Xia Qingqing and a real heroine like Altair were two completely different concepts. If Zhao Youyue possessed the latter, she would not be able to do anything. Even if she did not obtain the character card in the end, it would still be a very novel experience. On the other hand, there was nothing worthwhile about possessing the former. Even if she was a female CEO in reality, she could still buy a Pomeranian at any time.
However, in reality, she could not transform into the supreme and mysterious Altair and travel around the world.
Therefore, Zhao Youyue reread the entire text, which was not that long. She wanted to see if there were any female characters that she could dig deeper into.
For capricious creators without an outline, they might like to dig holes and lay in ambush. However, after digging a hole, they would forget to fill it in as they wrote. The readers would not take it to heart. After all, this was an era of fragmented reading, so it was not advisable to bury a very long foreshadowing in a web novel. When you proudly showed off your foreshadowing, the readers might be dumbfounded — was there really such a foreshadowing?
Alright, actually, the author himself had forgotten about this. It was just that he was stuck in the writing. He flipped through the previous chapters and suddenly saw this foreshadowing. Naturally, he could use it …
Zhao Youyue always preferred to do things in the "Two Dimensional Gate" that she could not do in reality. It was more meaningful this way.
When she saw that there was a "Cat Girl" in "Dog Days", her eyes lit up. She suddenly felt that she could do something big.
The "Cat Girl" was called Hua Xiaomao. Her nickname was "Mao Mao." She was a shop assistant in the pet shop of the protagonist's friend. Her daily behavior was very much like a cat. Therefore, she could understand cats very well. She took good care of the cats in the pet shop …
That was all the description of her in the novel. It did not even mention what she looked like. However, Zhao Youyue felt that this could totally be considered a foreshadowing!
Hua Xiaomao was not a "Cat Girl." She only had the ability to transform into a cat. Therefore, when her soul was in a cat's body, it was the soul of a cat in her own body. Therefore, she behaved like a cat!
Moreover, Hua Xiaomao's homonym was also "Cat Girl"!
This logic was perfect!
Impeccable!
