Chapter 1983 Alternative Historical Fiction
Remember in a second【】
Sansheng Village.
A large number of time-travel novels appeared, which naturally attracted Li Fan's attention.
After roughly browsing some works on the website, Li Fan nodded secretly. Some of the works are of good quality.
Moreover, generally speaking, the overall quality of historical works this time is much higher than the last time Xianxia works appeared in large numbers for the first time.
The reason is that Xianxia works are indeed more difficult to create than historical works.
Or to be more precise, it is slightly more difficult to create good fairy-tale works than to create good historical works.
But that's not the main reason.
The main reason is that after such a long period of research, web novel authors have a much deeper understanding and understanding of web novels than before.
In other words, the authors of online novels at this time will be more comfortable in creating works than at that time, and the quality of the works they create will be higher.
Then, the overall quality of historical works this time will naturally be higher than the overall quality of previous Xianxia works.
In Li Fan's view, the authors of online novels at this time, whether they are fairy tales or historical ones, have really stepped into the threshold of online novel creation.
This is something worth celebrating for Li Fan and the entire online novel market.
...
The emergence of the upsurge of time-traveling historical novels has once again made the outside world feel the vigorous vitality of online novels.
Countless people are deeply moved by this.
With the emergence of this craze, a question gradually arises, that is, when the authors set up such novels, can the protagonists only travel back to the real historical dynasty?
The authors are thinking about this question, and the readers are also thinking about this question, and the person who is most qualified and authoritative to answer this question is Gu Yong.
Only Gu Yong's answer can determine the answer to this question, yes or no?
Gu Yong answered this question on Weibo, and the answer is of course not.
Guyong said that the protagonist travels back to the real history, which is just a setting in time-travel historical novels, and the protagonist can also travel back to unreal historical dynasties.
Guyong refers to this kind of protagonist's time travel back to novels that are not real historical dynasties, calling them alternate historical novels.
As soon as Gu Yong's answer came out, it quickly sparked heated discussions in the online novel world and the outside world.
Authors of online novels are very excited, because once the definition of "alternative historical novel" appears, it undoubtedly represents a new type of historical novel.
There will be one more choice and attempt for them in the future, and online novels will become more colorful.
If online novels are more colorful, it is possible to attract more readers and become fans of online novels.
There are more types of works and more fans, and the market for online novels is also bigger.
For web authors, this is definitely excellent news.
But, how do alternate history novels alternate history? Compared with non-alternative historical novels, what are the similarities and differences? What are the advantages and disadvantages between the two?
Relatively speaking, which type is easier to create? Which genre will book fans prefer?
For this series of questions, the authors of online novels can vaguely find some answers by themselves, but they always feel that their answers are very vague and confusing, and they seem to know something vaguely, but they seem to have no clue.
They expect Guyong to further clarify their doubts.
Of course, they continued to discuss and research on this issue before Guyong resolved his doubts.
It's just that it wasn't Gu Yong who solved the puzzles himself, they always felt that the answers they analyzed themselves were not reliable.
The eyes of book fans are also wide open. It turns out that time-traveling historical novels can not only travel to real historical dynasties, but also to non-real historical dynasties.
However, if they travel to a non-real historical dynasty, will their sense of substitution be less strong when they read it?
After all, that was a completely unfamiliar dynasty to them.
In addition, will it be less interesting and refreshing?
Because, the protagonist travels back to ancient times, encounters various celebrities in history, and then has an intersection with the celebrity. Through some things, the celebrity is shocked or grateful to the protagonist, etc., which is one of the biggest highlights of time-traveling novels. It is also one of the biggest pleasures for book fans to read.
If the protagonist travels to a dynasty that is not a real history, wouldn't all these be gone?
This is indeed a problem.
However, since Guyong said that the protagonist can travel to unreal historical dynasties, he also defines it as an "overhead historical novel".
Then, book fans can infer that this kind of alternate historical novels should also have advantages that non-overhead historical novels do not have.
But, what exactly is the advantage? Book fans can't analyze it, but they believe it must be there, it's just that they can't think of it.
They believed that Guyong would definitely give them a perfect answer.
...
The rest of the community is also hotly debated.
They all said "Sure enough", Gu Yong really couldn't be peaceful, and it didn't take long before he proposed a new type of novel.
Although this kind of overhead historical novel is not completely new

type, but it is indeed a new type, or a new branch type of time-traveling historical novels.
But in any case, it can indeed be regarded as a new genre.
So, why did Guyong propose this new type?
After discussing for a while, people from all walks of life found that this kind of alternate historical novel, compared with the previous non-overhead historical novel, seems to lose a lot of highlights and cool points, and readers' sense of substitution will also be reduced.
So, everyone has the previous question, why did Guyong propose alternate historical novels?
After analyzing for a while, everyone thinks that Gu Yong doesn't seem to need to propose such alternate historical novels, and non-alternative historical novels are enough.
However, everyone only had such doubts, but no one questioned Gu Yong.
Because they dare not.
Just kidding, even Shen Cong, Cen Geng, Liang Shang and other bigwigs have come as guest writers of their online novels, how dare they question Gu Yong's decision?
Of course, the voice of doubt is not completely absent.
You must know that those who are unhappy with Gu Yong always exist and have never disappeared. They have not disappeared now and will not disappear in the future.
Although they are silent most of the time, people once forgot about them.
But whenever Guyong made a seemingly unwise decision, they would always jump out to show their presence, even if no one paid attention to them, they would still go their own way.
They don't expect Guyong to capsize in the gutter, what they think is that even those who support Guyong are disgusting, it's good.
They don't understand, what's the point of doing this? But that's what they do.
People are often so strange.
