Verso fiction can be thought of as a subset within the broad realm of fiction. It could potentially involve stories that are told from a particular perspective, or it might deal with certain subject matters in a distinct way. For example, it could focus on exploring complex psychological states of characters in a more in - depth manner compared to mainstream fiction. Maybe it also plays with the structure of the narrative, like having a non - linear plot that jumps between different time periods to create a more engaging and thought - provoking reading experience.
One interesting book could be 'The End of the World is a Cul de Sac' by Louise Kennedy. It offers a vivid exploration of Irish life and the complex human experiences within it.
It's difficult to name definite examples of verso fiction. However, some postmodernist novels might be related. For instance, 'If on a winter's night a traveler' by Italo Calvino. This novel plays with the form of the novel itself, having multiple beginnings and a self - referential style. It blurs the line between the author, the reader, and the text, which could be characteristics of verso fiction. Another possible example could be some of the works by Thomas Pynchon, where the narrative is highly complex and full of intertextuality.

Releasing a novel and putting it on the shelves were two different things.
A novel release referred to the release of the novel's text content on online literature platforms such as Qidian, Genesis Chinese Network, etc. for readers to read. After the novel was published, the author could update the plot and chapters of the novel on the platform and interact with the readers.
Putting a novel on the shelves referred to uploading a novel to a specific chapter catalog on the online literature platform for readers to buy and read. The novel had to meet the platform's requirements such as word count, plot, and so on. It had to go through the platform's review before it could be successfully published. After the novel was published, the author could get more income and reader support on the platform, and at the same time, he could accumulate more writing experience.
It should be noted that different online literature platforms might have different requirements for the publication and listing of novels. Therefore, authors needed to publish and put on the shelves according to the requirements of the platform.
A novel publishing house or publishing group usually refers to an organization that specializes in publishing novels. Its main business includes editing, publishing, distributing, and marketing novels. In China, examples of novel publishing houses or publishing groups include the National Library of China Press, China National Book import and export (group) corporation, China Science and Technology Press, Shanghai Century publishing group, Zhejiang Ancient Books Press, etc.
A novel publishing house or a publishing group usually had a professional editorial team responsible for screening, adapting, editing, and proofreading novels to ensure that their quality met the publishing standards. These editing teams would then submit the novel to a publishing house or group for typography, printing, and distribution. In China, novel publishing houses or publishing groups would also meet with readers through various channels such as bookstores, online bookstores, e-books, etc. to sell and promote.
