Of course, Zhou Zhipeng would not allow his reputation to be tarnished in this forum, even though his reputation was not very good.
Therefore, what he did was to immediately add a portal to the book he recommended. Other forum members could click on the title of the book and be teleported to the website. Naturally, he also made a wave of advertising for the newly opened "Source World Novel Website".
However, many people who were reading the thread did not immediately read the work he recommended. Instead, they were waiting for the feedback of others and letting them try it first. If most of the others said it was good, then it would not be too late to read it. If most of the people were complaining, then it was better not to risk being poisoned to try it.
In fact, when many people saw that this work came from an unknown website, their desire to read it was not high. These days, the books that could be popular on small websites were definitely the kind of novels that had a more casual style. The most suitable website to publish it was, of course, the Qidian Novel Website, which was famous for its variety of novels.
However, there would always be a very small number of readers who could not stand the lack of books, or simply had nothing to do and had no expectations to try it …
As a result, after this attempt, as long as it was not a reader who was completely indifferent to historical themes, or the kind of readers who read historical novels that always hoped that the protagonist would be an emperor or engage in a revolution, and other readers whose tastes were not that niche were attracted to the work "The Great Prime Minister"!
From falling into the trap to becoming an ordinary reader of the book, then to becoming a loyal fan of the creator, and even couldn't help but top up money on the small website, it seemed to be a matter of a few short hours. It could not be helped. Only readers who had really experienced the pain of a book shortage could understand how excited real readers and old bookworms were when they encountered a good work.
Those excited senior readers, of course, immediately returned to top Zhou Zhipeng's post and replied in such a way —
"Thank you for recommending this book. It has been completely fell into the trap. If the author can maintain this quality, this book will definitely become a classic among historical novels!"
"It's really a pity that such a good book was posted on this unknown small website. If it was posted on the Qidian Novel Website, then this book would definitely become a god!"
"I don't know how the book is doing on this site. If it's not doing well, will it be canceled? I feel like this author has been tricked into joining the site. He's a traditional author who doesn't understand online literature. Otherwise, why didn't he choose Qidian?"
"At first, I thought that the original poster had accepted the money, but now I realize that he was recommending the book with a conscience. It must have been hard on him to dig out such a historical masterpiece from such a small, unknown website …"
…
Influenced by the forum users who came back to praise the book, many readers who were waiting for others to try it out finally couldn't help but try it out. Then, naturally, more people fell into the trap!
Of course, even if 80% of the readers who had read the book unanimously praised the book, there were still some poisonous snakes who liked to sing a different tune. They said that it was another work that upheld feudalism, and that it only knew how to be a slave to the emperor and didn't know how to climb up the technological tree to start a revolution …
When Zhou Zhipeng saw the replies thanking the original poster, he couldn't help but feel a sense of success. When he saw those who objected for the sake of objecting, he was naturally very unhappy. He had never been the kind of person who wouldn't fight back when he was criticized. Besides, as long as he refuted back, he could maintain the popularity of his post. So, he enthusiastically retorted back. Moreover, there were other readers who fell into the trap to support him. This greatly increased his momentum. He felt that being a fan of this book was too enjoyable. He didn't have to worry about others attacking the writing style, logic, and so on.
With Zhou Zhipeng jumping up and down, the number of readers who went to read "The Grand Prime Minister" increased. For a time, it became the most popular book in this forum. This showed how attractive it was to senior readers!
The most important thing was that many readers also knew about the "Source World Novel Network" through this work. When some people finished reading the latest update of "The Grand Prime Minister" and subconsciously read other works, they were shocked!
Because they had originally thought that "The Grand Prime Minister" was the only fish that had escaped the net of this novel website. It was the creator's brain that had been damaged. He had posted such a high-quality work on this small website that no one had ever heard of. However, it turned out that they were wrong!
In addition to "The Grand Prime Minister", there were at least dozens or even hundreds of excellent works that could enter the top 100 best-selling novels on the Qidian Novel Network. They were actually serialized on the "Source World Novel Network"!
Could it be that many powerful, low-profile creators had come to the Source World Novel Network to create their own sockpuppets? Otherwise, how could this small website have so many excellent works?
As time passed, Zhao Youyue used the "Source World Novel Network" to transport the works of plagiarists. She had become famous in the online literature circle in a way that "good wine fears no dark alley." This method of rise was incredible to other online literature websites. Why would so many powerful authors be willing to go to such a small website that had no reputation and no readers?
Of course, as it was becoming more and more popular in the online literature circle, its readers were also growing rapidly. As the anti-piracy measures were also very good, the rate of its original readers was almost 100%. Many former pirated readers were also very willing to spend money on these excellent works, because they were truly worth reading.
The rise of the "Source World Novel Network" was not something that concerned the industry leaders like Qidian Novel Network, but other novel websites felt threatened. Of course, they wanted to poach a large number of capable authors from the "Source World Novel Network". Anyway, in the eyes of those insightful editors, these authors were all very capable authors who could easily attract fans, so it was completely worth poaching them.
However, the strangest thing happened. They could not contact the authors at all. This group of authors did not leave any contact information, nor did they set up any reader groups. It was as if they had all appeared out of thin air!
It would be strange if they could even find the authors. These works all came from the plagiarists in the Source World. The real original authors might have to ask the plagiarists who had copied their works. This was more awkward …
