The genre of Xianxia had yet to emerge, and the various novel websites did not have the category of Xianxia.
Although there were cultivators in some Wuxia novels, they were nothing more than bystanders. They were not true Xianxia novels.
If he were to write one himself, it would definitely create a new era!
As Fang Tian thought about it, he made up his mind to write a web novel. It would be a Xianxia novel.
In the past, there was a very important reason why he did not start writing. Writing web novels was too time-consuming and tiring. He would have to write millions of words every now and then. He was usually so busy, watching movies, listening to music, eating and chatting with beautiful women. How could he have the time to write a novel when he was so busy?
However, the book "Celestial Bane" made Fang Tian suddenly remember that the word count of novels in this era was generally shorter.
Celestial Bane, a popular novel, only had a few hundred thousand words.
In the era when web novels first appeared, novels with millions of words were not everywhere. They only had a few hundred thousand words. Later on, authors wrote longer and longer novels with three million words were common.
There were also plenty of novels with millions of words.
When he was free in his previous life, he would read web novels. The novels Fang Tian read were all millions of words. Now that he was back in this era, he did not remember that writing web novels in this era did not need to be that long.
A few hundred thousand words was a piece of cake for a speedy typist who could type 600 words per minute. It was an extremely easy task.
After some calculations, if he could type 600 words per minute, he could type 36,000 words in an hour. If he typed for ten hours, he could complete a novel with 360,000 words in a day!
Even if it was just a 10 RMB buyout per thousand words, he would make a killing!
Of course, that was the case in theory. In reality, the most time-consuming part of writing a novel was not the typing, but the conception.
Writing 300,000 words a day might be a bit of an exaggeration, but with Fang Tian's speed, he could easily write 30,000 words a day to ensure that the novel was of a high standard.
After reading so many novels in his previous life, he just had to transplant the plot of those novels. The so-called plot was the one that was accepted by the readers, suited the tastes of the masses, and could withstand the test of the market.
In fact, every industry had their own set of patterns. Once a pattern was successful, a large group of people would follow suit.
It was like a boss who sold milk tea. He made a new milk tea that was very popular and sold well. Then, a large number of his peers would follow the trend and imitate his ingredients to make the same milk tea. This was the trick.
What Fang Tian needed to do was to bring in the very mature writing style from the future. Of course, the so-called style would depend on the era. In this era, it would be considered an innovation, an innovation that no one had ever written before. An innovation that would make countless readers' eyes light up!
Without further ado, Fang Tian immediately opened the Word office software.
There was no need for any outline or worldview settings. These were all in his mind.
With Celestial Bane as the model, of course, the plot could not be copied. Although Celestial Bane was very popular, from the perspective of an old bookworm, it had many flaws.
The beginning of Fang Tian's novel was a very mature "golden opening" in the future. It could immediately catch the readers' attention and make them immerse themselves in the story.
The plot that followed was just like the introduction of the novel —
Since ancient times, everyone died. Receive the elixir and become an immortal.
This was a world where immortal cultivators flew everywhere. Stepping on a flying sword, heaven and earth were at my command.
With a word from my mouth, earth-shattering!
With a word from my mouth, a thunderous sword!
With a word from my mouth, blood splattered!
With a word from my mouth, the sea turned into mulberry fields!
…
For the next few days, Fang Tian stayed at home and did not go out. He sat in front of the computer and wrote his novel.
Why would a programmer who wrote code suddenly go to write novels?
Although, the two jobs were very similar.
Fang Tian obviously did not write novels for the sake of being an author. He opened a web novel platform with thousands of authors earning money for him. Why would he need to write his own novel?
The reason for doing so was all for the platform. The current Golden Jade Novel Network really needed a groundbreaking work, a popular divine book.
It could quickly boost the website's popularity.
That was Fang Tian's goal.
In fact, it wasn't difficult for Fang Tian, who had read a lot of online novels, to find a groundbreaking novel.
In addition to writing a Xianxia novel similar to Celestial Bane, he could also write a tomb raiding novel like Ghost Blows Out the Light. It would definitely be a groundbreaking work in this era.
Back then, Ghost Blows Out the Light set the precedent for tomb raiding novels in the world of web novels. Countless authors followed suit and imitated it. Such themes were extremely popular.
If Ghost Blows Out the Light was brought to the website, it would definitely be popular.
However, Fang Tian did not like ghost novels. This kind of gloomy and scary novel was even more unsuitable for him to write.
Therefore, if he did not write about ghosts, he would write about immortals.
In the past, he was just a person who read novels. It was very relaxing to read novels written by others. Occasionally, he could even point out the shortcomings of other people's novels.
However, after writing novels, Fang Tian deeply realized that it was not easy to be an author.
Especially when he had a writing block. When he could not write a single word, he could not wait to bang his head against the screen!
Fortunately, there were many popular novels that he could use as a reference. In three days, while ensuring the quality, he wrote a hundred thousand words. In other words, it was an average of thirty thousand words per day.
Fang Tian was still not satisfied with this speed. In fact, it could be faster.
If it was not because he was paranoid about certain plots, fifty to sixty thousand a day could be done.
The reason for such a crazy writing speed was related to the input method Fang Tian used.
The input method used by the great engineer Fang was tailor-made for himself. It was completely different from the coding rules of other input methods. This input method was like Wubi, Xingsi, and Xingsi. In other people's eyes, the coding rules of the input method were very chaotic. He was the only one in the world who knew how to use it.
While ensuring that the maximum number of words was typed in the shortest number of keystrokes, it could also avoid the occurrence of repetitive codes, eliminating the trouble of choosing candidate phrases.
Six hundred words per minute. That was how it came to be.
The time used to write every day was about four to five hours. Fang Tian could still spare a lot of time to play with Zhen Zhu.
Today, the little girl came over again.
"Brother, brother, you said you would take me to eat fast food today. If you don't keep your word, you'll lose your teeth." Ye Mingzhu, who had two braids, ran into the room and hugged Fang Tian's calf.
She had been at home for the past few days. She had long been bored to death.
"Okay." Fang Tian nodded and clicked to save the document.
With a hundred thousand words, he could upload it to the website. He would find a suitable time to upload it.
However, should he tell Editor Xiaomei and ask her to recommend him more? Anyway, the website was his. He could get as many recommendations as he wanted.
