The literature websites in this world were different from the ones in Yang Yi's previous world. Before authors uploaded their works to a certain website, they had to click on the confirmation button and sign an agency agreement with the website. This virtually eliminated the need to sign a contract and send it out.
Then, after the author uploaded the chapters, the website had a tailor-made review program by the copyright association to identify them. It was said that it was supported by the calculation of a supercomputer (the copyright association was rich and powerful), so in a few seconds, it could analyze whether the chapters were plagiarized or not!
Not only would there be such a review during the upload of a new book, but the anti-piracy, anti-plagiarism, and anti-infringement work actually ran through the entire release period of the novel! This really made the original author feel at ease.
As for the editors of the website, they didn't need to repeatedly identify them. They just needed to pick out the excellent original works from the vast sea of books and then place them on the website.
Although their work seemed simple, just reading non-stop, in fact, it was far more important than people imagined!
After all, in a world where reading books required money (although the price was very, very low), there were no free chapters. Furthermore, there were a large number of works being added to the website at every moment. Without the editors' recommendations and the support of previous experience, it was likely that many excellent works of newcomers would be buried in the huge library of works.
Qiang Zi was a member of the huge editorial team of the Reading Literature Website. He liked reading since he was a child, and he read a wide range of books. He liked all kinds of books. Plus, he was a homebody and wasn't used to communicating with strangers. This job where he could read books for free became his happiest choice.
He was on the night shift this week. After handing over to his colleagues, Qiang Zi went to the pantry and made himself a cup of strong black tea. Then, he sat comfortably on his chair, opened the computer screen, and began to browse the new books that the system assigned to him.
"The writing of this book is terrible! The sentences can't be written smoothly, how can he have the nerve to upload his work? " Sometimes, Qiang Zi was also sharp-tongued, but that was only his private whispers. According to the requirements of his job, he opened a private document and copied a comment that he had written earlier for the author, advising him to think about his words and sentences.
"This book doesn't have any mistakes or misuse of words, but the plot is very messy, and I don't know where the logic went …"
"This book is not bad. It's just that the plot is a little dry. It needs to be more developed. It might not be impossible for it to become a passable work in the future …"
After looking at more than ten newcomer works, Qiangzi was a little disappointed. There was no work that made his eyes light up. However, this was also very normal. In this era of national creation, there were a lot of low-quality works mixed in. If one wanted to find gold in the sand, they had to be more patient.
The tea in the teacup was finished. Qiang Zi was about to get up and make another cup, but the next novel he clicked on attracted his attention.
"A wedge … An ant is walking on an ant path marked by secretions from its abdominal glands. This thing is as important to it as an iron cabinet is to a locomotive."
What an interesting analogy!
The first sentence of the novel made Qiangzi unable to help but sit back down. He scrolled the mouse wheel and continued reading.
"… But our ant is a soldier ant, a brown species. Regardless of color, soldier ants are like soldiers in the First World War in my imagination. They spend their lives in a stuffy tank car that doesn't see the light of day, moving on a track that is said to be safe but is actually full of danger. Once the door opens to see the light of day … "
The first few paragraphs of text were plain but shocking. Qiangzi couldn't help but click on the home page with the mouse to look at the title and introduction of the book.
"Soldiers' Assault", this is a military novel? Qiangzi couldn't help but feel a little excited. He liked this kind of military novel that made people's blood boil!
Introduction: "Shining spears and armored horses, men with fighting spirit, the spiritual world of soldiers is rich and cold; an ordinary rural child with character flaws, he is simple and persistent, tumbling and rolling in the world of soldiers. Because of his stupidity, the whole company is implicated; because of his seriousness, the whole company is moved; because of his persistence, the whole battalion is proud of him.
Although his ancestral home in his hometown was turned into a pile of rubble in the explosion, it couldn't stop his firm steps as a soldier; kindness and compassion didn't make him forget his duty as a soldier. Shooting drug offenders … He was tempered into steel in all kinds of difficulties and hardships.
His name is Xu Sanduo! "
Wait, looking at this introduction, Qiangzi had a strong sense of reality impact. Could it be that this was a documentary novel?
Qiangzi couldn't help but hesitate. One had to know that even though this novel was published in the military column, this military column was compiled under the web literature!
Whether it was Yang Yi's previous life or the online literature of this life, they were very different from traditional literature!
Traditional literature was based on reality and deeply exposed the problems in reality, while online literature was either based on reality and higher than reality, or purely inserted the wings of fantasy and unconstrained.
Let's take a look at the military section below the web novel!
It was either time travel or rebirth, with memories to change the history of the original failed war!
Or the protagonist had a special ability, step by step going against the heavens and becoming a soldier king.
Would such a novel with a somewhat realistic content be welcomed by readers?
If it was another novel, Qiangzi might have wanted to suggest the author to publish it in another column. But for this book, after reading a few chapters, Qiangzi actually felt a little reluctant!
The author's writing was very delicate! Just like how the chapter "Wedge" wrote about soldier ants, but Qiangzi didn't superficially think that this book was about ants. Between the lines, there was a solemn and stirring aura of a soldier.
"The smell of steel, the smell of smoke, the smell of gasoline, the smell of unnatural fabric.
The smell of the devil and the end of the world.
The soldier ants are crying … No, soldier ants don't cry. "
Using soldier ants to describe the iron blood of soldiers, could a military novel be written with such a literary style? Qiangzi felt that the softness in his heart had been touched!
The author of the new book was very impressive, updating nearly 50,000 words in one breath, but the broken chapter was a bit of a pain in the ass. Wedge was less than 2,000 words, the first chapter was more than 5,000 words, the second chapter soared to more than 20,000 words, and the third chapter shrank to less than 20,000 words …
Did he break a chapter? Or did he just casually write a chapter number in a paragraph for fun?
But even so, Qiangzi was mesmerized by Xu Sanduo. He was deeply attracted by this simple and honest coward. He really wanted to know how this Xu Sanduo had become the pride of the entire company as described in the introduction.
However, the story came to an abrupt end, and the author updated to the third chapter.
It didn't matter. Qiangzi had already decided that he would add this "special" novel to the list of recommendations that would be pushed by the editor tomorrow!
One had to know that this was the best recommendation spot that a newcomer's work could get! An editor could only push one novel a day, and even if it was just a text recommendation, the novel would still appear on the website's homepage!
It could be seen how much Qiangzi liked this novel.
"The meaning is profound, depressing, but full of hope. I have a hunch that this will be a masterpiece!" Qiangzi excitedly added a link to the book on his blog and commented below.
