Chapter 315 Looking Back at the 20 Years of Online Literature, Have You Ever Heard Of... The Most Frustrating Category?

Chapter 315 Looking back at the 20 years of online literature, have you ever heard of the most unpopular category?

Online literature is an industry that is constantly moving forward.

The types of online literature are also constantly improving.

Many types of online literature that were once very popular have gradually been eliminated with the passage of time and the improvement of public aesthetics.

The last world, Earth.

When online literature was at its peak, the martial arts genre reached its peak, and half of the books were martial arts.

Netizens were fascinated by it.

But later, with the rise of immortal cultivation and fantasy, martial arts gradually declined.

And this world, Blue Star.

Because of the early arrival of the IP era of Qidian's layout and the demand for high-quality TV series and movies, martial arts novels have always had a place.

This world is not holding the books of the two old men Huang and Jin and remaking them all the time.

Every year, there are excellent martial arts dramas. People's feelings for martial arts are much deeper than on Earth, and the rise of various new martial arts schools have made martial arts a strong category of high-quality online literature in the online literature of this world.

It has exuded a different vitality.

Pu Jie carefully studied the history of the development of online literature in this world and found many problems that he had overlooked.

Why are there so many high-quality novels in online literature in this world?

The top works all have a certain reading threshold, and the majority are high-brow.

Is it because the average cultural level of people in this world is high?

No.

After Pu Jie's novels about the Dragon King and the Divine Doctor became popular, he knew that there was still a lot of room for this kind of grassroots literature, but no one had discovered it.

He just happened to discover it.

This is also the reason why he started writing blindly without studying history thoroughly.

Of course, Pu Jie does not regret it now. After all, the money he made in the early stage has been accumulated in the future. As long as he completes the loss in this cycle, all the wool that was not plucked before, even the wool that was plucked away by the system, will be returned tenfold!

This is also the reason why Pu Jie is optimistic in every cycle.

Because the system can make money 100 times, but as long as he loses once, the system will spit out the principal and interest directly.

Let's talk about the development of novels in these two worlds.

Since the cultural levels of people in the two worlds are not different, even most of them are exactly the same as in the previous world.

Why did this happen?

Where did the online literature of Blue Star start to take a completely different path from that of Earth?

Pu Jie searched online for a long time and finally! He found it!

Publishing!

The early online novel publishing in this world was very popular. Many well-known authors at that time made a lot of money by publishing books.

The requirements for publishing books are relatively high, and the choice of words and sentences and other aspects are deeply influenced by traditional literature, so the seeds of high-quality online literature were planted at that time.

In the era when there was no payment for online literature, publishing was the only way to make money by writing novels.

So, the trend started like this.

Why did the publishing of online novels on Earth become short-lived and soon fell into obscurity? Especially in the mainland, almost no one is willing to do publishing.

Just because of two words: piracy.

Publishing books cannot beat pirated books, and no one buys books published by publishing houses, so naturally no one will do it.

I believe everyone has read those thick books in the early years, right?

A book, torn into pieces, passed around in a class.

This is the culprit that destroyed the online literature publishing on the earth mainland.

A thick book that costs 18 yuan a copy, with inferior paper and unproofread content, directly destroyed the published books with beautiful covers, elegant layout and fine text just by relying on the cheap price.

On the other hand, the copyright awareness in Taiwan is relatively high. In the early days of online literature, it contributed the first pot of gold for many authors to publish books. The early masters have made this money, even more than their paid reading manuscript fees.

This is the difference between the two worlds of online literature.

One is gradually moving towards grassroots, and the other is gradually moving towards boutique.

Sometimes, many people lament why physical books are declining and why there are no good martial arts TV series. In fact, everyone destroyed them by themselves.

It's the same reason why Chinese domestic games on the earth can't raise their heads until now.

Chinese electronic games used to be among the best in the world, and excellent stand-alone games are everywhere.

After the once popular Chinese stand-alone games such as Ao Shi San Guo, Qin Shang, Jian Xia Qing Yuan, Dao Jian Feng Mo Lu, Xian Jian Qi Xia Zhuan, Liu Xing Hu Di Jian, and Three Kingdoms Qun Ying Zhuan, there are no more masterpieces.

There was a gap of more than 10 years.

The day before Pu Jie came here, he had just heard about the release of "Black Myth: Wukong", a game known as the light of domestic production.

Many people criticized the death of domestic stand-alone games, saying that gamers were making krypton gold online games, with no conscience at all and no face at all!

But they forgot who destroyed those stand-alone game studios that dreamed of winning awards around the world.

The dream-chasing gamers starved to death, leaving only the gamers who designed how to make players addicted and krypton gold every day.

Piracy is a cancer on the road to cultural progress.

It must be cured sooner or later!

"Hey, sometimes a small difference completely affects the direction of the two worlds."

"But, in the difference, finding the same, and judging the future trend, is what I want to do. In these two worlds, there is a theme that was once very popular, but now it has become completely decadent. If I write a book about this, it is equivalent to fighting against the times, and I will definitely die on the beach!"

"This theme is... virtual online games!"

"A category that has not produced any top works in the past five years!"

"Let's put it this way, sports, reality, and even sad stories will produce good works from time to time, and there are also many adapted into animations, TV series, and movies, especially sad stories. They are really the favorite of TV series."

"I still remember watching a variety show in South Korea in my previous life. There was a skit called "Ratings". Once it got bloody, the ratings would rise. This is the difference between TV programs and online articles. Bloody and sad characters are poisonous points in online articles, but not in TV series."

"Looking at the history of online literature in both worlds, more than 20 years! No virtual online game novels have been successfully adapted into film and television works! The road to adaptation has been blocked directly." (Competitive genres are not considered virtual online games, I'm talking about you "The King's Avatar")

Because the difficulty of shooting and production is extremely high!

Fantasy? Cultivation?

In front of virtual online games, they are all scum!

"And the readership of virtual online games is very small. Only some sentimental people occasionally read it. It is a non-mainstream type with very low influence."

"Now, who can tell me, what type is more unsuccessful than online games???"

"No!"

Pu Jie is quite confident.

This time, he found the best way to failure by studying the history of the two worlds and carefully analyzing and reasoning.

If you go down this road, no one can pull you back.

"This book is doomed to fail, I said! Even Jesus can't stop it!"

"Jesus? Even the Buddha can't stop me from failing!"

"I'm a genius! Hahaha!"

This wave is the 100% failure path that Pu Jie found.

Let alone publishing it in Zhongshan Novels, even if it is published in Qidian, he has the confidence to fail!

It's just that Zhongshan failed a little faster and more thoroughly.

At this time, Libi called: "Mr. Pu, when will your new book be published? I have a plan in advance."

Mr. Pu: "I'm already writing it."

Turn on the computer.

Create a new word document.

Libi hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

"Sure enough. In order to help our Zhongshan Novel, President Pu started writing a new book just one week after finishing the first one. It's so heartwarming."
