You have a creative itch, but after scratching it, noone wants to read your brainchild? 
You have an awesome idea and people would love it, except they "forget" to read it? 
 
Look no further, for I will now compose a simple list of advices I have for you as a reader and as a writer. 
 
In this booklet here, I will try to build for you quick and conscious points. 
Word count? Never heard of it.
 
There will be increased passion on points I find extremely important. Do realize: I may try, but writing this kind of thing will need my personal thoughts. I will try mentioning it before I start monologuing.
 
The advices will include examples a few times. Your novel is in "Rule X: How to not be a b!tch"? Honestly, too bad. You made a mistake, I will tell the world I found it and how to avoid making that mistake in my oppinion.
 
 
 
To preemptively answer some questions:
 
Q: "Yo, 11. You got no novels, b!chboy!?" 
A: "You are right, I currently only have an old draft of a novel replaced with blank spaces. Thanks for pointing it out!" 
 
Q: "Eleven, I thought you said that this will be useful..?"
A: "Yes, and it will be. I'm not planning on a 1000 chapter tutorial on how to form coherent sentences, I want people to realize that I can't read thoughts through a screen on the other side of the globe, no matter how many times they try."

Q (unlikely): "I like your work and want to contribute my own thoughts as a reader or writer. How do dis?"
A: "My gods.. Quick, capture it! It's a rare intelligent specimen. I. Must. Record. (Read: Comment. As I previously mentioned, I'm no Omega level psychic.)"
 
 
If you still feel adventurous, go ahead. I'll post a Rule every once in a while. 
 
May we meet again,

Eleven

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol


----------------------------------

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

P.S The Cover Drawing is not mine. I just find it nice so I used it. Full credits go to the owner.

Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's words, Ko Gohon's eyes instantly lit up and he anxiously said, "Uncle Kazuma, I've realized my mistakes. Quickly teach me, what do I have to do?!"
"Currently, the previous bet is already over. We'll just ignore it and not consider it any further." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "So, now, we mainly have to focus on the online novel website.
"According to your bet with Hong Dali, the person with the most number of daily updated books two weeks later wins. If it's according to your idea to increase the flat fees of the authors at the novel website and find ghostwriters to increase the number of novels, all these can more or less be done, but it's still far from enough!
"In this day and age, channels are the king.
"Number one, get through all the possible channels of the novel website and liaise with our joint venture companies in Heavenly State. As long as they are enterprises related to the internet, they must all advertise on the novel website.
"Number two, liaise with the telecommunication companies in Heavenly State and get them to send messages to prompt people to read our novels!
"Number three, liaise with all the web portals in Heavenly State, including Weibo, and open all channels to read our novels.
"Number four, hold a free of charge reading day to attract those readers that are used to reading free of charge books.
"Number five, hype things up and expose our Feng Yun website's remunerations for our authors on all the websites related to novels!
"Number six, liaise with the TV stations to interview our authors and create more exposure for the website!" 
Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's suggestions, Ko Gohon's face glowed as he firmly smacked his thigh. "Understood. I'll get these done right away!"
…
In the next few days, advertisements about Feng Yun website suddenly emerged everywhere. Advertisements for Feng Yun website were all over all the various websites in Heavenly State.
"Feng Yun website is the largest local reading base, free of charge reading and downloading of the novels. No pop-up ads, simple and clean webpage. Come to Feng Yun website to find good novels!"—Haoche Website. 
"Feng Yun website is an online novel website with no pop-up ads, providing the latest and best novels for all novel lovers. Come to Feng Yun website to read novels!"—Dream Paris.
"Feng Yun website provides you with various literature works with no advertisements to spoil your reading experience. It's a website which creates an elegant environment to read novels for all friends who are literature lovers, and the content includes various popular novels."—Guodian Online. 
…
On smartphones.
Countless people throughout Heavenly State had received messages about Feng Yun website's novels.
"We welcome you to the free of charge reading column, Feng Yun website provides all kinds of awesome and exciting novels." 
"[Urban] Personal Show: My Best Grade Missy."
"[Military Affairs] Special Operation of the Falcons: Special Force Number One." 
"[History] Great Waves Again in the Court: Big Fatuous Ruler."
"[Urban] Exceedingly Beautiful Superior: Pretty Tenant."
"[Fantasy] Wuzun Sword Slashes The Vault Of Heaven: Wudao Vault of Heaven."
Countless curious readers clicked on the advertisements, and after taking a few glances, they were satisfied with what they saw. "Mm, these book recommendations are not bad. It's quite good to kill time. This Feng Yun website is quite brilliant!"
Of course, there were those unimpressed as well. "Tsk, such a tacky way of promoting books. Now that there is the smartphone reading app produced by Young Master Hong Dali, who would still want to read these. Zhong Dian website is the king!"
…
On Xinhai Weibo—
Drunk and leaning on the fence of the pavilion, Meng Ziying Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novel 'Yifan's trouble' is very well written. I like how Yifan bullies Shaowan, serves him right for bullying Xiaochao… Mm, amusing as usual, this work is quite good." 
Douban Doujiao Doubao Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novels are quite good. I read novels there the whole day today. The books are not bad! Worth taking a look at them, I strongly recommend!
@Tangdou-like unlucky person: Feng Yun website is not bad, quickly gather and take a look @Dark Building Lonely Spirit 
@Dark Night Vigilante 
@Zuiyu Changwan_Shifu Calls Me Xiaowan @Muying Huange_Little Angel Of The Wolf Master 
@Fleeting Time At Finger Tips."
"Feng Yun website rises strongly, regarding the rise of online literature."—Soulang.
"Earth-shaking big scheme, about the counterattack of Feng Yun website."—Easy Net.
"Small online novel, big wealth! Feng Yun website's powerful rise!"—Dongfang Wealth.
"Read novels, go to Feng Yun website. Write novels, still go to Feng Yun website."—Tianjing's Plaza.
…
In the various readers' group chats.
"These two days, there are so many free books to read on Feng Yun website. I've discovered a few good ones."
"Really, then I'll go and take a look too."
"Of course it's true, it writes that the books are free of charge for a limited period of time!"
"Not bad, not bad. This website is doing pretty well!"
…
On the largest local online novel forum.
"Overwhelming amount of subscriptions! Feng Yun website with all kinds of awesomeness!"
"Zhong Dian or Feng Yun? A newbie feels that Feng Yun is still better!"
"Please help, a newcomer wanting to know whether it's better to go to Feng Yun or Zhong Dian? I personally feel that Feng Yun is better, I can earn quick money."
"Zhong Dian wants to defeat Feng Yun just by relying on a smartphone app, does Feng Yun know about this?"
…
At the TV station.
"Hello, hello, as a Great God-level author on Feng Yun website, may I know how much can your monthly earnings reach?"
"Earnings, this… Around 20 to 30 thousand per month is still fine."
"So much? Then you must be one of those people with the highest earnings on Feng Yun website, right?"
"No! How is it possible that my earnings are so high. My fingers are not nimble, so I type considerably slower. We have people who can type fast and are able to write 10 to 20 thousand words per day, and their remuneration is at least 50 thousand and above per month. There are even people earning 100 thousand!"
"So much?!"
"Yes, Feng Yun website's perks are very good."
…
In Tianjing City, the tallest television tower, in the top floor revolving restaurant.
"Young Master, Chief, the latest totaled reports of Feng Yun website are out!" The bodyguard was shivering with fear as he looked at Shiroishi Kazuma whose back was facing him and was standing in front of the window with his hands placed at his back. This time, he really saluted him. "According to the latest reports, currently, the site traffic of the website has already increased to 2.4 million and above for daily independent IPs. These two days, large batches of newcomers have started writing new books, and the number of updated books in three days have already reached 3,600 books!" 
"So fast!" Ko Gohon exclaimed, "Uncle Kazuma, your idea is really useful!"
"So-so." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm. "How many daily updated books does Zhong Dian website have now?"
"Chief," The bodyguard's expression and voice were filled with respect. "At the moment, there are approximately 4,500 newly updated books daily."
"Mm, we still lack 900 books." Shiroishi Kazuma said with satisfaction, "It's still within our control. If things continue progressing this way, probably in no time, we will be able to overtake Zhong Dian website. After all, the authors are after all the benefits and perks. As long as there is enough advertising, and the money is sufficient, it's not difficult to attract authors over."
Ko Gohon fully looked up to Shiroishi Kazuma now, as he anxiously asked, "Uncle Kazuma, then, do we continue like this? Why don't I get more ghostwriters to write more books? It's fine as long as it can surpass Hong Dali. I don't plan to earn much money from it."
Upon hearing Ko Gohon's words, Shiroishi Kazuma shook his head and slowly said, "No, if Hong Dali can earn money, why can't we?"
"Ah?" Ko Gohon said in surprise, "Uncle Kazuma, you're planning to… seriously run this Feng Yun website?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma nodded, yet he didn't continue talking about the novel website but instead looked out of the window, saying, "Young Master Gohon, look at the night view of Tianjing City. How beautiful is it? It's not lacking compared to Tokyo in our Jaban Empire, isn't it?" 
It was night right now. The night view of Tianjing City was extremely beautiful. Neon lights were flashing, and it was especially comfortable to stand from high up and look down, coupled with the gentle night breeze.
"It's very pretty." Ko Gohon agreed. "I haven't really noticed it previously."
"Yes, we haven't noticed it previously." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm, as he slowly stated, "It's the same for our Toyoda Conglomerate. As the top 16 in the world, the funds of our Toyoda Conglomerate are ample. You normally don't care about this, so you won't care about how much money you spend. You just feel that all the money is there for you to take it."
"I understand, Uncle Kazuma." Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon instantly understood what Shiroishi Kazuma meant.
Actually, he wasn't a stupid person. It was just that in the midst of fighting with Hong Dali, he had always been at the losing end, thus his conflicted mind.
Toyoda Conglomerate was indeed very rich. Just like the night view of Tianjing City, though it was pretty, one wouldn't notice it after looking at it for many times. But no matter how rich it was, after all, it had been built up bit by bit, and it didn't just drop down from the sky.
In that case, as long as they properly operated this Feng Yun website, then they could earn money. So why don't they do it properly and well?
"Uncle Kazuma, what should we do next?" Ko Gohon asked.
"Now since the popularity has already been increased, then next, we'll take in all the good ones and eliminate the bad ones." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "Eliminate all those poor-quality books and get them to finish writing them as soon as possible. Secure those good-quality books and do your best in nurturing their authors. At the same time, slightly change the welfare benefits policy and slowly convert the severance method to giving out dividends. After the novel website has entered a stable phase of operation, it would then be a virtuous cycle." 
"Uncle Kazuma, you are brilliant!" Ko Gohon was elated. "Then, after the website has entered a virtuous cycle, we can earn quite a lot of money, right?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma smiled. "Don't belittle online novel websites. All the profits from the adaptations of films, online games, merchandises and so on are actually huge. I truly admire Hong Dali. The things started up by this lad truly have very big prospects!" 
"After hearing what Uncle Kazuma just said, I realized that this Hong Dali is very brilliant!" Now, Ko Gohon finally had to admit that Hong Dali was indeed brilliant. "I haven't thought about all this!"
Speaking up to this point, Ko Gohon recalled his bet with Hong Dali. "But Uncle Kazuma, my bet with Hong Dali…"
"Hehe, there's no hurry on that." Shiroishi Kazuma wasn't worried at all about the bet and insipidly said, "Since I've come, of course I have a way to help you win. Wait for a few more days, let's see first whether Hong Dali's side makes any moves."
Shiroishi Kazuma assured Ko Gohon, then instructed him, "Remember, leave your trump card for the last. Don't take them all out at once. Or else, what will you have left to fight him by then?"
"I understand!" This time, Ko Gohon was really convinced. "Thank you for your advice, Uncle Kazuma."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


* WHAT ARE OLD CONVENTIONS ?

Old Conventions are the beliefs which have already been set over the period of years in the minds of the 'Readers' and the 'Authors'.

Examples include, 

01.  The Hero and the Demon Lord – The Hero, either one or multiple, always arrive from a real, non-fictional world with no magic or any supernatural power, while the world that they arrive in contains some supernatural or fantasy elements. The plot may be different for different novels, but the convention remains that the Hero and/or Demon Lord are at the center of the world, i.e. the plot of the entire world revolves around these two existences. 

The convention here is that the Hero or the Demon Lord are pure fighters in a traditional sense. (Even the Hero in the light novel "Realist kingdom Hero Reform Chronicles" < I forgot its name> is an 'administrative' fighter in a sense).

02. Xianxia and Xuanhuan Cultivation novels, where the primary focus of the entire series is on the fights, and how the Protagonist acquires various skills, etc. These Protagonists have fixed jobs, like a cultivator/ fighter, alchemist, and blacksmith. Basically, these guys do highly technical jobs with ease.


* WHAT IS BREAKING OLD CONVENTION ?

Breaking old convention means to make your Protagonist walk through unconventional paths.

Examples include,

01. Various Japanese light novels and web novels with the Hero template. Japanese light novel authors have broken many conventions over the traditional Hero and Demon Lord convention, and now we have novels like 'Rise of the Shield Hero' with and Anti- Hero Protagonist, 'Realist Hero's Reform Chronicles', where the summoned Hero only has administrative cheats.

02. The masterpiece 'World of Cultivation' by Fang Xiang where we see a very non-conventional Protagonist and even more non-conventional fights- while almost every Xianxia novel describes only the growth of the Protagonist, World of Cultivation breaks convention by introducing fights among armies made of cultivators.


* HOW TO BREAK CONVENTION ?

It is very easy to create a plot which breaks conventions, which is to make your Protagonist do jobs one usually wouldn't expect.

For example, 
In a Hero setting, the Protagonist can create an Adventurer's guild so that he wouldn't have to fight against the Demon Lord. Or maybe he could become an arms dealer, and enjoy his life rolling in loads of money while watching the two factions fighting against each other.

In a Xianxia setting, the Protagonist can be a journalist controlling all media in the world, using all kinds of cultivation technology to create and spread news. Or maybe he can be a person whose business is to create AV (Adult Video a.k.a Porn).

Note that in majority of these novels, there are hardly any characters around whom the entire plot revolves.


* PROPOSED IDEA

Following is the Idea being proposed :

01. The world follows a Xianxia setting, with the usual gimmicks.

02. The cultivators are majorly of two types : 

     (01) Swordsmen (or those who use a weapon, to develop 'essence' of their weapon).
     (02) Body Cultivators (who cultivate their bodies to become strong and indestructible).
     (03) Spell and Formation Cultivators (traditional cultivators who use magical spells and use formations).
     (04) Alchemists and Medicine Masters
     (05) Blacksmiths and the like.

03. The social hierarchy is mentioned in their decreasing order i.e. the Swordsmen have the highest status in society because of their attack power while the Blacksmiths have the lowest status because they are easily replaceable.

04. The four have the following innate advantages :
 (01) Swordsmen – they have the strongest attack power.
 (02) Body Cultivators – they have the highest defense.
 (03) Spell Cultivators – they have variation in their moves, and can coordinate attacks and defenses of a group. They also have high movement abilities.
 (04) Alchemists study how to prepare various medicines, while Medicine Masters study the various diseases and healing techniques. The difference between them is that Alchemists concentrate on optimizing the process of medicine creation, while Medicine Masters are like the doctors of the world.
 (05) Blacksmiths, etc – These people create weapons, armors and low level gadgets. The gadgets can be mechanical parts of carriage, or radio device, cannon, ship, etc.

05. The Protagonist belongs to a clan of puppet makers, and have a business of creating puppets for various purposes. However, puppets are considered an unorthodox path and looked down upon.

06. The Protagonist enrolls in a school where students follow orthodox paths of swordsmen, body cultivation and spell cultivation.

07. The rest of the plot is to be extended by the respective Author.

08. The selling point of this idea is in one major point – "The Creation of Life !" The puppets in the earlier chapters can be displayed as mere weapons, and as tools to create humorous situations. Eventually they would slowly develop instinct and intelligence, and eventually become sentient.

09. The previous point is important because any good web novel always has three points : creation of something (techniques, skills, weapons, spells), management and strategy (founding and managing a clan, sect, business, kingdom, empire), and warfare (fights between the Protagonist and/or his faction and others).

10. The Protagonist will eventually rise to become the father/mother/progenitor/creator of the Puppet race, and the puppet path will become an orthodox path.

11. The plot has a lot of scope, because as this is a Xianxia novel and not a Sci-fi one, the Author get easily get away by spouting b*llshit to explain how the Protagonist was able to create robotic arms, drones, armed airships, and an army of Terminators. It is relatively easy to explain technical things in Xianxia world.

( Yes, I know it sounds cheesy.)

Just a quick note, I am not going to be nice. I repeat, I AM NOT GOING TO BE NICE. (If you like this story don't read this rant as it is not aimed at you but the bad apples)

Thank you! Thank you! You have finally broken me to the point of anger...I was always trying to be nice and just simply present a story, an adventure, that was to please people and most of all please myself. I liked reading people's comments saying nice things, I even liked people saying ''Thanks for the chapter''. Then these lame party-poopers come in and say things like ''This is when story goes wrong..''. Fine fine some of my ideas seem ridiculous and aren't properly explained (because if I try to explain them you will get spoiled and then chapters do not have the same impact they had before). One thing is you don't see the picture I see, I'm only showing you a small piece the size of a puzzle whilst I have the entire image, you obviously won't like it until it's all assembled into one picture but this story is meant to be a journey for the both of us. Don't say I can't take criticism as the shit they give me isn't even criticism but plainly shit coming out of their mouths. 

I am fucking mad! And mad! AND MAD! Because few of these bastards insult my work and my ideas and I will not forget; the bastards who mostly insult me haven't even released one fucking novel coz they have No Balls to release their own novels they think they're better and yet they don't show it. MAKE YOUR OWN FUCKING STORY YOU DICKHEAD AND THEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN AUTHOR! Authors put some work in the novels even if it's shit they have to write words on to the page and also plan the story, even if it is a fanfic there is a lot of things you can do with a fanfic but also harder to work with as you need to understand the series and the characters; if you're using the main character or cast from another popular series you need to imagine what they do in different situations and you need to make it seem as that's what the character is gonna do otherwise it won't be the same character that people know but just a look-alike with the same name and that's not what the readers signed up for. E.g. You make a novel where anime characters fight in a Colosseum and the main protagonist is - let's say Gohan and he acts very aggresive and wants to fight; people that know of him will know that's not the way Gohan behaves and would immediately feel disgusted. It's kinda tricky to be a fanfic author but it's generally hard to make a good story.

I have been noticing that his site sometimes has arrogant scumbag douches smartasses who have No Respect! No Respect for nothing! They come to your novel and they just drop a shit comment because they simply don't like something. Okay Okay! It's not like I didn't do something like that before...I read this dragon ball human something novel, the author introduced an OC character (and she isn't a saiyan) and it was out of random and she was so much better than everyone and came to the same level as the MC who trained for years and she only trained with him a few years in a gravity chamber for 1 year and reached a power level close or slightly over the MC which pissed me off as this random nobody was introduced. SO I went to the comment section and vented my frustration saying ''Fucking [character name] bitch!''. Then I and the author of that fic talked and before that he was also pissed about people complaining. Okay maybe I'm no worse than those scumbags but I show people respect and gratitude (e..g I thank you but your book annoys me) I will never let these fuckers who have not even tried making novels insult my work. Those so called 'Critics'.

Anyway...I'm so angry, broke and filled with madness that I'll - I'LL OVERFLOW YOU WITH CHAPTERS until I'll change your mind you piece of shit (''Trashy attempt at a au fanfic'' - Skepparn = shit). I'll release lots of chapters so that I am going to prove that I'M NOT LIKE  MOST AUTHORS! Some would probably give up after all this negative crap but not me.You have awaken not a beast but a psycho and I won't give up until I'll prove that I'm not your average author that you can mess with. I'm not taking bullshit from anyone and I'm doing what I want and I'm not gonna pay attention to your comments. I wish I can disable comment section as I really don't wanna see shit.

If you don't like my book, my decisions, my story, my character THEN YOU CAN FUCK OFF.

 You may say just like this one bastard, "You are insulting and threatening me''...YES! Say what you want, think what you want but simply I won't be nice to you if you won't be nice to me and other people in this community. I believe EVERYONE deserves respect and respect means treating a person as if they were a person (being nice - even if it is shit because humans should have common decency to treat people how you want to be treated). Respect doesn't mean the Quality of your work, You get praises, respect and praise are not the same so don't mingle them ([Webzayne] you bastard "you speak of respect like it is to be given out to just anyone, but I've been taught that respect is something to be earned."). Try to be less mean about the way you comment simply tell them it's bad and tell them the simplest reason because yeah people make mistakes but that doesn't mean that they deserve such treatment where they are insulted.

Saying something bad about a novel in the comments section and reviews is insulting, I say from my experience. Whenever I see something negative it makes me sad, annoyed and makes me question myself, makes me doubt my decisions about the future of the novel and it feels like whatever I do won't satisfy somebody but I want to make everyone happy love my story.

I realised that that is impossible that there will always be a dickhead that will stab you with his venomous words.

Some Of You Don't Have Respect and Will Never Learn Of It as you're stuck in your own shell of assholeness!

Dumbass: Great! I'm reading some shit about some shit author insulting us, randomly lecturing us and telling us what to do! Why do I have to listen to him when he's insulting me!? Fuck this and this guy!

Me(author): You simply don't understand...You pissed me off and I'm simply telling you how to not piss me off and other people in the community. You are simply trash that thinks he can do whatever the fuck you want insulting others work and I don't want trash like you here coming here anymore.

Dumbass: Hmph! I will and I'll fuck the shit out of your comment section! I'll destroy you!

Me: I'm already broken sorry and I will not take further damage. This is a warning that I'll simply find whatever way to kick you out of my story if it's to continually insult you everytime you come and say something bad!

Dumbass: You asshole! You can't even take fucking criticism! You take offence to everything!

Me: NO! There's a line between criticism and plain shit. I want to simply...rid of the trash.

(To The People holding Negative views on my novel, simply siliking it I would like you to fuck off and never come back please! :)


And to those that have not said a thing, thanked for a chapter, liked my comments, said some good stuff and criticisms. I thank you from the very bottom of my heart. Thank You! You are the guys and gals that make me want to spend time writing and finishing this fanfic as I love seeing your reactions and praising my work. I'm not even slightly angry at people who criticise my novel (that is if you say a proper reason otherwise you look like a fool). And also I am sorry you had to see me like this.

(Some explanations and spoilers)

I am adding more than one reincarnated person in this fanfic. Why? You say the MC then isn't that special...true! But why be special? Fuck special! Also the main point is that the main character has competition and peers, people who are equal to him this will make him more dedictated to reaching more powerful heights and without. You say it is a stupid idea Skepparn you shit but is it? Has anyone of you thought outside the box?

Also  why add Chi Long? This hidden criminal organisation that can so-called destroy the four nations which in actuality was not to the Mayor was simply exaggerating and some of you didn't see it which makes you dumb. I added Chi Long to simply be the antagonist of this arc and maybe future, but simply this organisation is named after the master of it Lord Chi Long who will be a very powerful opponent. I took inspiration from eastern fantasy stories and mixing plain fantasy to add more realism to his combat and fun like mixing  talismans and anime card game type style together except this isn't turned based.
Kuro is simply too strong as a firebender and has long surpassed Ozai and is simply getting stronger and stronger. I need to add an opponent that is very hard and Kuro needs to lose very badly so that he loses his arrogance. I hate arrogant people and don't want my main character to be one.

What is he gonna do at the start of avatar? He's gonna make it play out like before but he's gonna go undercover to help out his family and keep them from harm. Kuro will also need to make Zuko set out and fight the avatar. Why?,,,To make it their relationship like in the series where through battle they had mutual understanding of one another and then fighting together alongside brought them closer.

What is Kuro's goal? Well right now he has no goal but his goal in the end is to simply break out from his new world. Don't ask why as this is one of the things I don't feel like going into detail. I don't like spoiling too much.

If I say the Kuro's reason to break free, his mentality, you see... people in stories (weather i'd be in anime, manga, novel) they not only like to see how the plot progresses, the fights, the designs they also like the mentality of characters how they progress, how they view the world, how people around them react and how the character thinks and feels. That mental aspect is one of the things that intrigues people if some.

Sorry poor nice readers that were reading this. 

To Scum I tell to fuck off.

Tomorrow chapter.

There is a tale of a spirit, a very powerful spirit one that dwells in the mortal plane. The Red Spirit, the demon of destruction as wherever it  went it created a path of destruction. It was so powerful that even the might of the avatar could not stop it. Everyone who heard Its name would tremble; every dragon and lion turtle that saw it would want to run from fear. Little did they know of the red spirit's true identity.

Kuro wakes up to find himself in the world of Avatar, where four elemental nations lived in disharmony.

Welcome back, young daoists! Today we will be touching upon a topic near and dear to every starving daoist's heart. Advertising.

Of course, "shamelessly advertising"? No! You are just providing a source of entertainment for anyone who is interested...

Maybe a young daoist like you has never heard of the term "advertising"? It's a quite simple and easy task, but getting people to actually read your story is something else. Here's a few tips on how to provide a source of entertainment for anyone interested.

1. Comments

Let's say you're on a story like "Transcending The Nine Heavens" and see a few comments enjoying the story. You should comment something like this:

"I like Transcending The Nine Heavens too! The update per week is soo slow though. I'm working on a similar story called "Insert Cool Xianxia Name" with a chapter per (you choose) and it currently has (please don't advertise with 5 chapters). See you later, fellow daoist. 

With this comment, you have indirectly said 'Come to my story, add to your library and give me power stones.' without actually saying that! Foolproof technique.

2. Social Media/Discord

If you haven't joined Discord, I recommend you do! You should then join the official Webnovel server and Inkstone Writing server. Using a legendary technique crafted by me, you will be able to get more viewers.

Open Discord > Webnovel > Start Interacting

This one requires a lot of skill, as not every starving daoist can actually communicate well. Fear not! This will hone your skills, give you an idea of what authors and readers are like and open new gateways to creating your own server for your novel. 

So basically, don't shamelessly advertise to advertise on Discord! Only do it when the moment is right and casually mention your novel. 
TLDR: Don't be so pushy! A man just wants to read..
3. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

This is only for the most desperate and starving daoists. It is seriously not recommended to torture yourself like this unless absolutely necessary. After all, who would want to let the world know they write on Webnovel? Just one look at it gives a 'weaboo' vibe and will scare most narrow-minded people off. But, if you have willingly chose this path, it is expected you know what judgement stems from it. 

You should casually mention you write something and have a friend check it out. Make sure you're not writing a scene where the MC gets his head chopped off on the first chapter or that will scare some people away. Here's a good way of saying this to your real life friends:

"I've been thinking of getting into writing, and I'm writing on a website called Webnovel. My story is called 'The Dao of Filler' you should check it out! I think you'll like it."

If you were not profusely sweating while saying that sentence, good on you. Let's just hope your friend won't be absolutely shocked when they read the absurd titles of popular novels and quickly close the tab...

That's all for today's advice! If you need any advice on your cultivation, let me know in the comments below! Of course, remember to give me your power stones. 

Remember kids, every word counts...

Young daoist, you must face all in your way to becoming a shameless author and filler expert. Luckily, I am giving advice for freeeeeee! Vote now with your power stones..


Zhang Zian was busy the whole day and now it was almost time for him to go to bed. 
Zhang Zian had been exhausted throughout the day, but now that he knew the elves' lives could be extended, his tiredness vanished completely. However, he hadn't told the news to Old Time Tea or the other elves yet. As Pi had said, it wasn't the right time. If he hastily told the news to everyone, they would be too expectful. The reality might be too disappointing. For that reason, they might as well not know about it in the first place. 
Even if the lifetime of the elves really could be extended infinitely, the elves had to go through an extremely difficult process to do so. Judging from Pi's stern expression as it read the untitled book, Zhang Zian figured that this may be his biggest challenge and trial since he downloaded the Pet Hunter game.
Although he couldn't understand the untitled book, whether it was the Hyperwebster Dictionary, The Book of Sand, or a fantasy book from another civilization in the universe, he was still very grateful for it. Without it, he wouldn't have found out about such reassuring and hopeful news.
The elves had fallen asleep, one after the other. Before going to sleep, Richard had been very active that night, as if everything put him in a good mood. Zhang Zian had to hang it upside down to calm it down. 
When everyone was in bed, Pi was still sitting in front of the computer, typing away.
"Pi, did the noise bother you?" Zhang Zian came over and asked. He knew how annoying Richard and Snowy Lionet were.
Pi shook its head no.
"Well, we're all going to bed now. Please go to sleep as soon as you finish writing." Zhang Zian brought over a small desk lamp. The lamp light was turned away from the bedroom, so it wouldn't affect anyone's sleeping.
He didn't plan on telling Pi what he was doing later, because he wasn't sure whether he would be successful or not. He didn't want Pi to be disappointed after giving it so much hope. 
Pi grinned and nodded.
Zhang Zian glanced at the elves again. After confirming that each elfin was in its correct place, he turned off the ceiling light. 
With the light from the desk lamp and his own nightlight, he laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling, listening to Pi type. He thought about the elves' lives for a while, and then thought about the situation of Uncle Li's diner. He tried to allow all of his thoughts to occupy his mind and keep himself from falling asleep.
About an hour later he heard a click, and the fan noise from the laptop disappeared. Pi turned off the desk lamp and the room grew darker. It climbed into the basket hammock chair to go to sleep.
Zhang Zian kept his eyes open for a while, and almost fell asleep. He pinched his thighs to keep himself awake. 
He looked up and guessed that Pi had already fallen asleep. Then, he grabbed his cell phone by his pillow and opened the Qidian app.
That day, as he watched Pi write, he had secretly browsed the Internet on his cell phone, trying to find out what the amazing reading lists were.
After he finished researching, he knew that reading lists were an important supplement to the Official Recommendation Spots from the Qidian website. A reading list was created by an individual, who would list his or her favorite books and the reasons why they would recommended those books on their list. If other readers agreed with the owner's suggestions, they would start following the creator of the list. The reading list owners were similar to bloggers who reviewed digital products on video websites, and the digital products recommended by bloggers tended to receive more attention. Some reading list owners even had tens of thousands of followers. 
After careful searching, Zhang Zian discovered that the reading list owners were roughly divided into two categories. One type introduced and reviewed each book in great length, while the other kind of reading list owners introduced each book with only one sentence. The former type attracted much more followers than the latter. After all, through the detailed evaluations and introductions, the readers could tell that the reading list owners had put in a lot of work into every book. 
That day, he had mentally noted the reading list owners' IDs who wrote long book reviews and then went to the comment sections of their lists. He first ruled out the most popular reading list owners, because in their comment sections, numerous authors or authors who pretended to be readers were promoting their own books. Those reading list owners wouldn't be able to read all the books being recommended to them, even if they tried to read 24 hours a day.
As for the reading list owners that attracted fewer followers, their comment sections were basically empty. It wouldn't be helpful for Zhang Zian to advertise Pi's novel in those lists. 
After more research, he targeted a reading list owner who had the tenth most followers. The ID name of the reading list owner was Morning Gorilla Star, who was mentioned by the author of Diplomats of the Underworld. 
Morning Gorilla Star had written down his requirements about posting advertisements in his comment: Do not copy and paste your ads. I will promote urban novels that have no or only one female protagonist.
Zhang Zian felt relieved when he read these requirements. He was extremely popular with women, and many cute girls were desperately hoping to be his girlfriend. Pi had just hidden this fact while writing the novel based on the life in Zhang Zian's pet shop. Therefore, Pi's novel had managed to meet Morning Gorilla Star's requirements.
Advertising was like sending resumes to hiring managers. The key points of the novel must be written as concisely as possible. What was the highlight of Pi's novel? It certainly wasn't that the protagonist didn't have a girlfriend! 
He typed on his phone: Can I promote my own book? The title of the book is Pet King. The protagonist, who is the owner of a pet shop, downloads a game that can capture elves. Together with the elves, he witnesses the growth of the pet shop. There is no female protagonist in this book. 
He thought it over and added "Currently" in front of the sentence, "There is no female protagonist in this book." Then, he satisfyingly clicked the "Send" button.
After sending the message, Zhang Zian repeatedly refreshed the comment section and anxiously waited for a reply from the reading list owner, just like a job seeker who was constantly refreshing emails and nervously waiting for replies after sending out his resume. Zhang Zian had read the books recommended by Morning Gorilla Star, and all the books were well-written. Perhaps Morning Gorilla Star wouldn't think Pi's novel was good enough. However, Zhang Zian hoped that Morning Gorilla Star, who had read countless books, could at least tell him why Pi's novel failed to be recommended by him. In that case, Zhang Zian could help Pi revise the novel. Zhang Zian was acting like a job seeker who was close to starving to death and desperately needed a job, whatever the job was, to feed himself.
Since it was nearly one o'clock in the morning, the owner had probably gone to bed already. Watching his comment drowning in other comments from authors promoting their own books, Zhang Zian couldn't help but sigh in dismay.
Perhaps he sighed too loud, because Zhang Zian heard a squeaking sound come from the hammock chair. It sounded like Pi had turned over.
He locked his phone screen and waited a little longer. He didn't unlock his phone until there wasn't any more sounds coming from the chair.
What should he do?
He was very sleepy. Should he wait till the reading list owner woke up and try advertising again? 
No, he shouldn't wait. Tomorrow, Pi would receive its first Minor Recommendation Spot. If its novel failed to be ranked in the top three or top four spots, it might never have a chance to receive a recommendation again.
With that thought, he decided to advertise on another reading list. Advertising was just like begging, and as long as he could swallow his pride now, he would gradually become thick-skinned. 
This time, he lowered his expectations by moving his attention from the reading list owners with tens of thousands of followers to ones with hundreds of followers, hoping that some of them hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Zhang Zian noticed that there was one whose ID was Yang Chenkong. In his reading list, Yang Chenkong wrote reviews with thousands of words for each book and offered many thoughtful insights. However, Yang Chenkong only had a mere 3,000 followers. Would it really be useful to advertise in this list?
Zhang Zian desperately went to the comment section. To his surprise, he saw that this reading list owner was still online, discussing his opinions with his friends about a certain book. 
Zhang Zian hadn't read the book that they were talking about. However, from reading their conversation, Zhang Zian felt as if he had read it and learned about its successes and failures. From observing, Zhang Zian could tell that Yang Chenkong was very professional. 
For some reason, the comment section of his reading list was blank and had no advertisements. Zhang Zian chuckled to himself. He could take advantage of this rare opportunity to advertise. 
There were some basic rules of advertising for all reading lists. Unlike like people who put advertisements in bathrooms,  book-promoting advertisements couldn't be randomly posted. Each reading list owner had different requirements for advertisements. For example, Morning Gorilla Star had explicitly stated that he would only recommend novels with no or one female protagonist. Yang Chenkong, however, had a wide range of book choices. Except for supernatural novels, Yang Chenkong basically read every genre. 
However, the most difficult thing was that the list owner didn't specify which book genres he would recommend, and Zhang Zian didn't know how to cater to his preferences. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zian rewrote the message that he had sent to Morning Gorilla Star. He deleted the sentence "Currently, there is no female protagonist in this book." He added, "Feel free to read the sample chapters, but don't blame me if you're poisoned (Translator's Note: Read and Poison sound the same in Chinese)," hoping that his self-deprecating tone would draw Yang Chenkong's attention. 
After clicking "Send", he was too tired to repeatedly refresh the comment section as he did before. It was almost half past one in the morning, and he would need to get up early that day.
Putting down his cell phone, Zhang Zian lay down flat on the bed. Soon, he was half-awake and half-asleep, and he would completely fall asleep at any moment. 
In the darkness, Pi had been watching him the whole time. It had barely moved, except to slightly change its posture after its legs started to get numb.
Pi had always known about Zhang Zian's actions. It could tell from Zhang Zian's exhaustion. 
Since Zhang Zian was so tired, it wouldn't matter if he did these things later, right?
Pi opened its mouth and silently imitated the shape of someone saying "thank you."
What?
Zhang Zian thought he heard something. It seemed like someone was talking to him. He barely could open his eyes. His drowsiness was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on his eyelids.
He looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. He unlocked his phone screen and saw that it was past two in the morning. 
Since he hadn't logged out from the Qidian app yet, he clicked open Yang Chenkong's comment section, the second reading list owner he advertised on that night, hoping to find Yang Chenkong's review on Pi's novel. However, he found no review, and saw that the advertisement he had posted was gone.
No wonder the comment section was so empty. As it turned out, Yang Chenkong deleted all of the advertisements in his comment section. Zhang Zian's efforts were again all in vain. 
He couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. He shoved his cell phone under his pillow and fell asleep.


1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

"Resigned?"
Ye Lingchen did not expect to get such an answer.
"Yeah," Song Qian continued, "Y-God, I'm sorry for how this turned out. I didn't expect the higher-ups in Huyu to be so vicious. You have saved Huyu from certain doom, yet in exchange, they treat you like this."
"They dare to act with such impunity is mostly because half of my Grave Robber's Chronicles copyright is with them right?" Ye Lingchen snickered.
"Indeed," Song Qian nodded. "They always thought that Grave Robber's Chronicles was your magnum opus. Although you share the copyright with the platform, the platform had the distribution to your work. That's why they did not care about you."
"Do you know what they are planning to do with Grave Robber's Chronicles?"
"They have already planned to file for IP[1], then using Grave Robber's Chronicle's IP to branch out from stream to games and movies." Song Qian naturally knew of some inner workings.
Although Grave Robber's Chronicles was authored by Y-God, he was banned by the platform. With that the platform could treat it as an asset, effectively getting rid of him while benefiting off him in a cruel and ruthless manner.
After a moment of silence, Ye Lingchen suddenly asked, "Apart from Huyu, what other platforms are there?"
"Some time ago, the streaming platforms went through some dark times. Many of the platforms have already folded. Those that survived until now are just a couple of bigger platforms. However, they are also close to folding." Song Qian could already guess where Ye Lingchen was headed. He then continued, "If you want to stand up to Huyu with these platforms, it's going to be very difficult."
Huyu pretty much had the monopoly of this sector. That was why it could act with such impunity.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Qian added, "After I left Huyu, I'm now working at Panda Streaming. However, their current situation is not looking good…"
Panda Streaming was a livestream platform that was founded one or two years ago. It was rather unfortunate as it was hit by the long winter of the world of streaming before it got its name out there. Failure in investments and lack of funding caused it to remain in a rut, at this point they are unable to even pay the salary of its hosts.
Song Qian had just only joined Panda Streaming recently. He knew full well what the situation was like within. "The entire platform has few hosts left. At this point, the platform is in huge debt and had difficulty operating on its own."
That was only a small streaming platform, unable to compare with Huyu.
"It's fine as long as it's a streaming platform." Ye Lingchen went silent for a while, then spoke, "How much would it cost if I were to purchase this platform?"
"P-p-purchase?"
Song Qian was shocked. Taking a deep breath he asked, "Y-God, you're not joking with me right?"
Although Panda Streaming was about to go under, it was still a platform after all. The wealth required to purchase it was no small sum.
"That's right," Ye Lingchen answered calmly. "Just let me know how much."
Ye Lingchen had finally understood the tyranny and cruelty of a streaming platform. Since Huyu Streaming struck the first blow, he had no intention of taking this quietly.
Grave Robber's Chronicles was his first creation. The dignity of a prodigy was on the line. This vengeance must be fulfilled! It had to be done viciously!
Instead of working for other streaming platforms, he might as well run his own. Getting rid of Huyu using his own streaming platform should feel great!
It was too much hassle to start a platform from scratch. He might as well save time and purchase one directly!
"At the moment Panda Streaming owes a debt of over RMB30,000,000. If you plan to purchase it, you must first clear its debts. I estimate that they will offer roughly about RMB40,000,000," Song Qian explained.
"RMB35,000,000!" Ye Lingchen made a direct offer. "You help me communicate with them. I'm only offering RMB35,000,000. This way their debts are cleared and would have RMB5,000,000 profit. There's no reason for them to reject the offer! If this deal goes through, you'll be the president of Panda[2]!"
Song Qian was suddenly hyperventilating. He was both shocked and excited at the same time!
'Y-God's a hidden rich kid! This is amazing!'
"Alright, I'll go talk to the higher-ups immediately!" Song Qian took a deep breath and rushed off excitedly to settle the issue.
Y-God had promised to let him be Panda's president! Add to it Y-God's fame and creations, he might bring Panda back from the brink of death! That would also bring him to the peak of his life!
He felt that he had successfully ridden on Y-God's coattail.

On the next day, Yuewen's headquarters was hectic after a meeting had just concluded.
Yogurt[3] was the top editor in Genesis that was responsible for the xianxia genre. 
"Sigh, this time the Twelve Heavenly Kings and Rookie Champion had nothing to do with me again." Yogurt shook his head with a bitter smile.
The xianxia genre was too unpopular with very few authors and readers when compared to urban and fantasy genres. They were too far apart.
Every year, Yuewen would pick the most popular author based on the popularity of their works. However, none of them in the past few years fell under Yogurt's supervision.
"You're still better off than me okay? I'm in the f*cking history genre. This is just too unfair!" Another person interjected. That person was Sunny Day[4], in charge of the history genre.
The history genre was even worse than xianxia. They might not even receive any books on any given day.
Both of them sighed, blaming their lives while connecting over their similar situation.
While chatting, Yogurt opened his inbox. As expected, there were only a few xianxia titles that submitted a draft.
"What the f*ck is this writing? Nothing makes sense!"
"OMG, another long-winded story."
"Hm, this is a little better."
Yogurt was flipping through each title quickly. Sunny Day joined Yogurt in dissing the submissions as he was too free.
Eh?
Celestial Bane?
Yogurt was caught by surprise. 'This name is something!'
Following that was the synopsis: The world began without celestial beings. However, since ancient times, humans witnessed the world around them being filled with unexplained incidents. Flashing thunders, raging storms…
'This synopsis...it's not bad too!'
Then came the content: Prologue, chapter one, chapter two, chapter three.
Yogurt and Sunny Day stared at the computer unblinkingly with neither of them talking.
As they went through page by page, they were pulled into the book, as though they were immersed in the world of Celestial Bane. At that time, they felt as though they had turned into Zhang Xiaofan[5], experiencing this unique world of xianxia.
"WTF! That's it? So short?!" Yogurt scrolled to the last page, feeling unsatisfied, yearning to read contents to come.
"That's right, why did he just submit such a short piece?" Sunny Day too was feeling unfulfilled.
However, when they checked the word count, both of them were dumbfounded. It had over 15,000 words! They then checked the time and realized they spent almost 15 minutes reading this!
Both of them exchanged glances, the time passed felt like nothing!
Celestial Bane was truly exciting. It did not contain any unnecessary words at all. Everything joined smoothly and was highly immersive.
"F*ck! Yogurt, you've hit the jackpot!" Sunny Day's eyes went red, filled with jealousy!
They, of course, could appraise the potential of a novel with a simple glance. Although Celestial Bane had barely started, it gave them a feeling of freshness. It had the potential to be a hit!
The xianxia genre was going to reach new heights!
'Why did such a talented author not come to the historical genre? Sob sob sob, I'm so jealous!'
"Cough cough, keep it down." Yogurt grinned so wide that his lips almost reached the base of his ears. He was afraid that other editors might steal this from him. He quickly hogged the novel to himself and sent a message to Ye Lingchen.
After an entire day of class, Ye Lingchen went home and logged onto the author's corner.
On the top right corner, a message notification lit up. It was from the xianxia genre's editor, notifying him that Celestial Bane had met the requirements.
The editor's name was Yogurt.
Beep beep beep!
Just as he added Yogurt to QQ[6] messenger, he immediately received a message from Yogurt.
"Erm...I am Y, your name…" Yogurt was having a difficult time dealing with the name.
After all, the great name of Y was very well known.
Ye Lingchen sent a 'tears of joy' emoji over to Yogurt.
"I've read through all your chapters. Very well done! Styling is amazing. If you keep this up, you're sure to be a hit! All the best!" Yogurt said passionately.
"Thank you editor Yogurt," Ye Lingchen replied.
"I'll start by adding you to Genesis' contracted authors' group first. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask anyone in the group or ask me directly." Yogurt immediately sent the group invitation link after the message.
Beep beep beep!
Very quickly, the group chat turned active.
[Traceless Stream: Welcome new friend. Your name is quite something!]
[God of Twilight: Newcomer to the group! You either share your picture or you give out red packets! Otherwise, you'll be kicked! Thank you.]
[Monocolored Wind: Hot damn, that name! I almost thought Y joined our group. That got me excited!]

[Rugao Under The Bridge[7]: Someone personally invited by the editor. It seems we have a bigshot here.]
…
The name 'I am Y' was on the brunt of everyone's jokes, mostly due to it being too eye-catching!
With so many big shots chatting, Ye Lingchen, as a newcomer could not just remain hidden. [Newcomer reporting in. My new novel is Celestial Bane. Please take care of me.]
Rugao Under The Bridge, [Celestial Bane, not a bad name. Xianxia genre? Let me have a look.]
Ten minutes later…
Rugao Under The Bridge, [F*ck! Celestial Bane is awesome! This novel will definitely be a hit! More chapters please!]
Traceless Stream, [Is that true? Let me have a look too.]
Monocolored Wind, [If Under The Bridge-kun says so, then it will surely be a hit!]
The huge wave of authors immediately got excited and started observing out of curiosity.
The next moment, the entire group chap went berserk!
[The writing style...amazing!]
[OMG! Is this the rise of the xianxia genre? This is the work of gods!]
[Is I am Y here? I'm begging for chapters. What happened to Zhang Xiaofan?]
[Is this written by a new author? Spill the beans. Which big shot is this hiding behind that secondary account?]
…
Rugao Under The Bridge's reaction was even more unbelievable. He immediately sent a picture of someone hugging onto a thigh, crying pitifully. [Big bro, I'm so poor that I have to eat dirt. Can we exchange shoutouts? My novel is Claim A Mountain, Be A King. Please give me a boost...]

We believe the author left out the explanation as the novel is rather famous in China and most Chinese readers would get the reference. Although this title is fictional, such a book does exist in Chinese literature. It was also adopted into games and TV shows under the names of (Jade Dynasty, Noble Aspirations, The Attack of Heaven, etc).
