Once again, Zhao Youyue turned her attention to reality, to the cultural company she created under her own banner. She too had created a web novel site, which she then began to invest in, promoting and advertising whatever plagiarized work she could there.
The real world was highly advanced, there was little room left in the market for new competitors. Undoubtedly, Qidian was the most famous website for web novels, and Zhao Youyue was a super tycoon on that website.
Under normal circumstances, those insiders would think that Zhao Youyue's effort in creating a web novel site and making it mobile-friendly was a waste of money.
As the web novel market continued to grow, it was normal to see lesser imitations appear once in a while, before vanishing into wisps.
For struggling authors, these small web novel sites might just be their lifeboats.
Competition in Qidian was ridiculous. Unless an author produces something stellar, he would get buried in the dirt along with the others. For Qidian to upload a particular web novel, that author had to write at least 200,000 words. If an author's work failed right after it was published on Qidian, that author's two months worth of effort would have gone to waste...
Under such circumstances, some authors would choose to sign contracts with the smaller web novel sites. On the other hand, those insignificant web novel sites also needed some content for their bare libraries. Of course, the big shots in Qidian couldn't be bothered about these little islands.
Just like any newly created website, Zhao Youyue's "Source World" web novel site started off by blatantly promoting itself on the forums of its major competitors, leading with the tagline, "Gossip from all corners of the country."
There were many web novel authors in this particular forum, the highly talented ones included. Some well-known authors might act coy and claim disassociation with the major platforms, but they still paid close attention to this forum. Of course, a minority of authors would put on their sockpuppet identities to debate or fend for themselves whenever there was a negative review of themselves.
Truly talented authors would spend their time writing new content, not waste time on this meaningless web forum.
"Gossip from all corners of the country" took the forum by storm. Experienced readers soon vouched for the quality found there.
Even though this web forum had a lot of foul-mouth users, the forum's search function came in particularly handy. Whenever a particular web novel had a huge number of people debating over it, it would definitely be worth the read.
Zhao Youyue's "Source World" advertisement in this forum was nothing like the other web novel sites. Instead of attracting failing authors to contribute to her website, she just wanted more readers to know her website. She had no intention of begging for authors to join her website; it was entirely up to them.
Zhao Youyue's current "Source World" was flooded with plagiarists' literary work, so as those authors harvested the profits of their ill-gotten stories, Zhao Youyue milked the bejeezus out of them. This was most probably the only use of that source world.
As time went by, a number of authors finally realized that this web novel site was peculiar. As they waited for the "Source World" to take in their drafts, they had learned that surprisingly, this web novel site had no intention of buying off any literary work, it was only on a shared copyright basis!
Soon, "Source World" became the biggest joke in this forum. Many of the experienced readers started mocking it—
"This is my first time witnessing such an arrogant web novel site. It doesn't even have a solid reader base, and it's already thinking of sharing the rights? Only idiots would post their work on this website."
"What a stingy little website, it's impossible to compete in the fierce competition of web novel sites. It would go bankrupt within three months!"
"What's with this 'Source World" web novel site, I see no known authors, or editors even. There's no way it would draw the attention of any readers -- what a joke."
"This is probably the cheapest way to create a web novel website, just like those company with big names with no real content, is this actually a cover for illegal transactions..."
...
Authors started making fun of this newly created website.
When a web novel site made its debut, its founders would spend a lot of money to invite a talented author with a ton of fans, or an experienced editor; some would even settle for a less popular but talented author.
But not the "Source World" web novel site, it appeared to set itself way up there, waiting authors to come on their own free will.
As the biggest joke in the forum, everyone would check up on it.
Zhou Zhipeng was an experienced reader, and an amateur writer. He was a senior in this web novel forum, and his pen name was "Garuda." For some unknown reason, he was interested in this "Source World" web novel site. He did not expect much, he just wanted to see if anyone would actually walk up to start writing for it.
Perhaps this web novel site was merely collecting pirated web novels to fill up their library. Without any authors, how could it be producing web novels?
When he entered the website, he was drawn by the well-designed UI. It might be just a small website, but it certainly had its standards, unlike those massive pirate websites.
He soon found that this website already had hundreds of on-going literary works!
Zhou Zhipeng was most definitely curious. Hoping to get to the bottom of the mystery, he clicked on an interesting sounding title of the alternate history genre, which was a personal favorite of his and started reading, hoping that it would not wash out his eyes.


An introverted girl has had enough of the isolation inadvertently formed by her solitary nature. Things changed when she discovers that she has the ability to transverse across the fabric of our universe into the dimensions of multiple storylines. Not only do these storylines leave her with invaluable lessons - they also impart a portion of their power - if she is deserving of it. The time has come for Zhao Youyue to change her fate. Never again, will she remain as a Side-Character!

I have more problems and events in life than difficulties for authors. So, sometimes I don't know what to write here.

A co-author told me to write something fictionary, like dramatize what happened in Discord. I thought of doing that today but I can't even remember the drama, so I have to skip it. I also don't want my friends to think that I'm using them for my entries here.

Anyway, I want to write something about errors, habitual mistakes, and others that readers caught in our books. Some are even unusual ones. These might sound funny but a bit disturbing to us authors. With no further ado, let's start rolling.

1.) I got this reader's review in my IGMB book.

-Although I have not read too much, lemme summarize the first 9 chapters...
Ending of each chapter: "Little did she know"
Please have better cliff hangers as I read on.- 

Haha, I didn't realize it until this person pointed it to me. I laughed and felt frustrated at the same time when I read it. Don't think of looking for those errors now, I've changed it right after he told me.

2.) This one I found in another story but I won't tell on what book.

-He often puts too many thoughts into one sentence, and it can get exhausting to read. In addition, he uses the same physical descriptions too often. For example, whether it's "knitting eyebrows", "cocking eyebrows", "raising eyebrows", "lowering eyebrows", or "quirking eyebrows", the character's eyebrows are in a constant state of flux. In fact, the word "eyebrow" comes up 435 times in 40 chapters.-

Readers, please be forgiving to us newbie authors. 

3.) I saw this one as a meme but it's hilarious.

-I'm sure a spy is near. She wears shades, black. She wears that usual color, black. Her clothes, black. Why writers always describe a spy or villain as if these characters love black colors?-

A color problem when describing. I'll take note of this and make sure my villain and spies wear bright colors.

4.) I got this one from the forums.

— The fact that ONLY the protagonists can coome up with new ideas and methods. Everyone else just follows their predecessors and assume they were right as the methods are time-tested. This is the biggest reason for protagonists in cultivation novels to go from weaklings to OP...and its just lazy.-

What can a newbie or even veteran authors do? But follow the style or topic of famous books.

5.) Can you consider this as a review or hiring advertisement?

- Hello! Let me know if you need an editor. I can help you when I am free. :) that is if you are interested hahahahhaha. I just wanted to help you out. -

Ugh! Please, English is not our first language. Have mercy.

6.) Grammar errors are common reviews.

- Dear author. I hope you'll read this. I'm a bit confused with the word you use sometimes. Is it CHANGE or CHANCE? Aside from this, i love the story and the development. The characters as well. -

Most authors here really need editors. 😅

7.) I don't know what to say with these reviews. I'm speechless.

Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém Harém

,Kgsohfflhdpyxphdueaphflgdjfsjfskgdkff 

8.) This is one of the worst reviews. I don't know what to say. (laughs, sighs, and frown)

.......i am commenting to get power stones.....😅....thanks for constantly updating😉...😊....huh?...its still not 140 character?😅

9.) Uhmmm.

If you are going to read this, do not waste your stones. Web novel wants your money. This novel is already available for free on websites if you search for it.

Please, support the authors by reading it here.

10.) I wonder, why books with Original mark on it are mistaken as Translated?

— Thanks translator. The book is getting more interesting. The CEO is becoming more human... -

— The translator should consider releasing more than one chapter a day. —

— I like the story, it's a very nice story n the translation is good. -

- End of Reviews -

Why am I posting these here? Because these reviews and comments are part of the spices of the authors' lives. 

Honestly, I love to read reviews from my readers and to get an honest review makes me happy. But I also feel bad when I receive negative ones, mostly only criticism with nothing helpful to improve my story or writing skills. Somehow, this is part of life. 

Come to think of it, famous authors received the worst, and they just shrugged it off.

Anyway, as long as people read our stories then our hard work is worth it.

Chapter 1
Becoming a Starter Level Author
by : 314 (Yang Chen)

Previously, in the general article on "Webnovel author levels' standards", I separated webnovel authors into five different levels. But actually, there's a hidden sixth level – total beginners that aren't even at starter level. This refers to complete newcomer authors that have zero experience and have never written a single word for a webnovel.

Still, not everyone needs beginner level guides, even if they're a pure newcomer. Of course, if you're an established author who has experience writing long novels, feel free to ignore this article and move on to the next one, regardless of whether or not your story was successful. Or, perhaps you've never written long novels, but have the natural talent to write as easily as you drink water. In that case, there's no need for you to read this beginner level article anymore.

In fact, there's even plenty of newcomer authors that feel like it's incredibly difficult for them to write a short, several hundred word long essay, or to write an end-of-year reflection. But, when such newcomer authors try writing webnovels for the first time, they find their minds clearing up, with the ability to write like they are possessed, with storyline flowing out from under their proverbial pens just like a stream of water. Newcomers like these naturally don't need to read a beginner level guide like this one, either.

Those who truly need to read this article are those who put their hands at writing webnovels, but find that their minds are empty or filled with mud the moment they open up their computer documents. Perhaps you're a newcomer author who tried thinking for an entire day but only managed to write a few hundred words that even you think is garbage.

In such a case, for newcomers like you, how should you improve your writing, and write your first thousand, ten thousand, or hundred thousand words? How do you take the first step in becoming a god of writing?

I personally believe that you can try the several following tips.

1: Adjust your mentality and create a precise writing goal for yourself.

Unlike most other jobs, success as a webnovel author doesn't always come step by step. Some sufficiently talented newcomer authors are completely capable of earning hundreds of thousands, or even millions, on their very first novel. A single novel can make an author into a master, or even a grandmaster. There are also veteran authors who have been stuck at a certain level for a long time who might one day have an epiphany and find a new writing style more suitable for him or herself, turning them into a master overnight.

However, the cruel reality is, no matter if it's a newcomer becoming a master overnight, or a veteran suddenly improving, there's one condition that's an absolutely necessary prerequisite—

The author needs to already have strong writing skills. This means that such a wonderful thing is unlikely to have anything to do with you who's reading this article, as you're not even at the beginner level.

For authors who aren't even at the starter level, there's only one goal that you should be setting for yourselves. That goal is to be able to naturally write a long novel. To be more specific, there's two major goals within this goal.

The first goal is to be able to imagine and finish a story that's approximately 500,000 words. Simply speaking, you have to be able to write long novels.

This is because the natural way how webnovels work makes it so that only a longer novel can bring greater benefits for the author. The novel's ranking, influence, and author's fame are all affected by the novel's length. To achieve a respectable degree in these areas, the novel will typically need to be at least 1.5 million words or longer.

Of course, from a professional standpoint, a story written for the sake of practice doesn't really need to have that many words in it. That's because in theory, an author who's capable of finishing a 500,000-word long novel has already learned the foundational writing skills necessary. As long as such an author has a complete outline for their story, writing two or three million words will no longer be so difficult.

The second goal is to be able to write approximately five thousand words every day. Simply speaking, you must be able to write quickly.

This is because there's a huge number of webnovels out there, giving you immense competition. Based on webnovel readers' typical reading habits, only stories that have consistent updates will be able to obtain and maintain popularity. For a super consistent release, the lowest requirement is to update at least two chapters per day.

One chapter might have an average of around 2500 words. At the very minimum, they should at least be longer than 1500 words. This is why, for a webnovel author to become successful, their writing speed must be at minimum three to five thousand words per day. When calculating this by months, this means that you need to write at least 45,000 to 75,000 words per month. This is the most basic requirement.

Those are all the prerequisite conditions for newcomer authors to develop into starter level webnovel authors. At this level, the quality of your writing isn't that important. Nor is the popularity of your novel important, either. Being able to write a long novel and write quickly are the two main goals that you as a newcomer author should strive for.

Something that should be noted is that at this level, you should pay more attention to improving your own ability, rather than worrying about your story. There are no tests for you, nor are there any grades. By the time you're in the middle of the story, if you notice that you're having an easy time writing and can easily write five thousand words per day, in addition to having a clear outline for your entire novel, then congratulations. This means that you're now a starter level webnovel author.

2: Choose an appropriate genre and topic.

With the development of webnovels, there's so many genres out there already – eastern fantasy, high fantasy, martial arts, xianxia, modern, mystical, historical, military, gaming, competitions, science fiction, fan fiction…

All these genres have their own specialties, and have different popularity factors and important things to keep in mind when writing. Also, they all have different degrees of difficulty when writing them. Still, what needs to be noted is that these different genres will have varying degrees of difficulty for different authors.

Perhaps one author will find it incredibly painful to write historical fiction, while writing a mystical story is fun and relaxing for him. Meanwhile, another author might find it incredibly easy to write historical fiction, while writing a modern day novel feels all sorts of awkward for her.

Obviously, for authors that are total beginners, you should choose the easiest type of story to write for you. But, what if you don't even know what genre you should be starting out in?

Allow me to recommend a few easy genres for newcomer authors.

1: Fan fiction

Fan fiction refers to using an already existing story's characters and setting as the basis to create new stories. This is a type of story modification.

For example, you could write a story and call it "Harry Potter and His Adventures". This story could be about how Harry Potter ended up with Hermione, or how he has multiple girlfriends. This is an example of a fan fiction about Harry Potter.

What needs to be noted is that in the large majority of situations, fan fiction authors don't actually have the copyright to their own stories. Even if you wrote every single word of your fan fiction novel by yourself, you still have zero right to use your novel for any commercial purposes.

But, even so, fan fiction is still one of the best choices for total beginner authors. The reason is that they are quite simple to write.

When writing fan fiction, you don't need to think about a complicated world background or any detailed settings. Nor do you need to create a large amount of characters. Even the fan fiction's story can be inspired from the original novel. All these things, especially creating the setting and characters, are what newcomers typically have the most trouble with.

Basically, writing fan fiction will greatly simplify the writing process, directly avoiding the most difficult part of all. Without a doubt, this is the easiest way for newcomer authors to get started.

As for what story to base your fan fiction on, it first needs to be a story that you as an author have already read and are familiar with. Also, it's best if it's a story you truly love, perhaps even reading it several times over. This is the basic requirement for writing fan fiction.

On top of all that, I would recommend choosing to write fan fiction about a story whose copyright has already expired, such as "Romeo and Juliet" or "Don Quixote" and so on. Or, it would be best if you could somehow obtain permission directly from the author of the work that you intend to write fan fiction about.

Of course, even if you have no way to contact the author or obtain their permission, it's still fine to write fan fiction. This just means that you can only write for free, without earning any profits, and also respect the original author of the work. After all, for newcomer level authors like you, learning and improving your writing is the most important part. Since your novels are unlikely to be commercially viable at this stage, it's not all that important even if you write a fan fiction novel that you're not allowed to profit from.

2. Modern novels

This genre refers to novels that take place in a modern day urban setting. The city background is typically where the author has lived and is familiar with.

Compared with fan fiction, modern novels have the added difficulty of having to create your own characters. Still, it does decrease the amount of trouble you have to go to in creating a setting. Not only that, when writing character introductions, you can save a lot of effort in having to explain a lot of common knowledge, such as what a character's job entails, or their social status. Saving all this effort is quite precious for newcomers.

And compared to fan fiction, modern novels have their own advantages as well. That is to say, the author can more easily write themselves into the main character, making the storyline easier to think about. Normally speaking, all you need to do is to give the main character a special cheat, or a unique advantage, and the rest will flow as naturally as water.

For example, there's a very popular modern novel with a reincarnated main character. The protagonist has only a very simple cheat—being reincarnated to several years in the past. This is quite an easy scenario for newcomer authors to insert themselves into. Just think about it, if you can reincarnate back to the past with all your memories intact, what will you do?

Most authors can probably imagine it. If you return to several years in the past with knowledge of the future, there's just far too many ways of earning money. Even if you have zero business skills, can't remember a single stock market pick, and don't remember who won the World Cup of Soccer, at the very absolute minimum, shouldn't you know something like what company you should invest in?

Apart from earning money, don't you, the author, have any other regrets as well? For example, do you regret not treating your parents better while they were still alive? Do you regret choosing the wrong major in college? Are you embarrassed at your awkward attempts to get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

And so on, and so forth. Why are you afraid of not being able to think of plots for your storyline and making it longer?

As for the specific details, those are quite easy as well. For example, if you intended to sell off everything you owned back in the day and take out a huge loan to invest in one specific company, what would your parents say, and how would they react? How would all your other friends and relatives react as well? Who would you try to borrow money from, and how would they respond? What's the specific process of investing in a company, and what procedures are necessary? What if the company you invest in temporarily loses value after you invest in it? Would your parents complain at you and tell you to retract your investment? And how will people react after the company you invested in suddenly does super well and you make a huge profit? And, what will you do with the money…

Just this one storyline arc about investing in a company has plenty of content to write about even simply by following the natural process of how people would act. And if you use that as the foundation and intentionally write some conflicts, such as how the protagonist discovered that his friend who he wanted to borrow money from is actually investing in a different company, how he pretended to have a casual attitude when opening up an investment account made the investment company female employee misunderstand him to be someone really rich, or how people scoffed at him after investing in a company and he made a bet…

Wouldn't you agree that all these related events can add plenty of content to your story? Not only that, it shouldn't be all that difficult even for a newcomer author to write such a story arc.

Even if you're one of the few who feel like you lack imaginative prowess, and you don't have the confidence to create interesting scenarios and conflicts, well, there's still one more advantage of writing a modern story—you can borrow ideas from plenty of sources.

The most direct sources of all would be television dramas, especially those set in the current day. This should be easy to understand.

Apart from television shows and movies, there's also hot topics in society, the news, or local gossip and family conflicts… These are sources that are easy to overlook or maybe often considered boring. But actually, it's quite common to make some modifications and write them into your own novel and borrow from such sources.

This is why, from a certain standpoint, modern novels are the easiest novels for newcomers to begin with and to write a long story about.

3. Imitations

Imitation type novels aren't a particular genre, but they can belong to any genre. While this may seem rather contradictory, it actually means that a newcomer author could try selecting one of his or her own favorite and most familiar novels and imitate it. This isn't limited by genre.

Imitation could be shallow, or it could be a close imitation as well.

To give a theoretical example, perhaps the original story has a main character named Zhang San, who's the son of the sect leader of Green Castle. Your imitation novel could try having a main character named Li Si, who's the son of the sect leader of the Wudang Sect. The original story had Zhang San falling off a cliff and miraculously surviving while also obtaining a book containing a miraculous cultivation technique. After he successfully powered up, Zhang San was sent by his father to go undercover in the Demon Sect, where he fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's daughter. Your story could try having Li Si being ambushed while cultivating and becoming seriously injured, but miraculously having a great breakthrough in cultivation due to overlapping coincidences. Afterwards, Li Si went undercover in the Demon Sect in an effort to investigate who ambushed him, and fell in love with the Demon Sect leader's granddaughter…

This type of imitation requires even less creative effort from the author compared to fan fiction. From a certain standpoint, this is really cutting it close to becoming plagiarism. Yet, it's still undeniable that this is a usable method for newcomer authors to improve their own skills.

But, please note that this type of writing style is only suitable for practicing your writing. If your story is too much of an imitation, it'll be impossible to even make it public. That's because unlike fan fiction, even if you don't use it for commercial purposes, you've still plagiarized and violated the original author's copyright. It might even spoil certain plots from the original story and affect its sales and popularity.

That's why this type of learning via imitation, in principle, isn't really one of the better ways to learn. More accurately speaking, this is the final way to learn available to total beginner authors that have failed at attempting all other self-training methods.

In normal circumstances, after half a month to a month of imitation practice, the author should have some more insight into writing. The author can learn how to design storylines and write descriptions. At such a time, the author can stop trying to imitate and begin developing a completely original novel on their own.

March 1st, Tuesday…
The house that Pei Qian bought last weekend had finally been handed over. Pei Qian received various certificates and keys for the house after engaging a special commissioning company for formal acceptance.
However, the house was empty of furniture, fittings, and fixtures.
Pei Qian's original plan was to let his parents live in this house so he did not want to buy the furniture and household appliances according to his own preferences. He specifically went home to give his parents a set of keys so that they could go over to tidy up when they had the time.
Pei Qian had the perfect plan:
He would say that he could not get away from his busy work schedule (which was true) and had no time to do all these things. Let the two seniors take their time choosing furniture, home appliances, etc. Pei Qian would reimburse them when they were done.
The furniture bought would then be more in line with his parents' taste.
He would then get his parents to stay there for a few days in the name of adding some human touch to the place after everything was done.
The gifting of the house would become natural when his parents become used to the place.
As for Pei Qian himself, he could always think of other ways to get himself a bigger residence.
Pei Qian was in a much better mood after he was done being busy for the weekend. He threw the annoying staff from the company aside and felt much better.
The only thing he was slightly unable about was his parents asking about the movie by Fei Huang Workspace as soon as he returned home. Pei Qian told the truth reluctantly. They were elated and pulled Pei Qian to the cinema to watch it again. They carefully found Pei Qian's name after carefully scanning for his name in the list of people behind the scenes.
Pei Qian had nothing to say about his parents' happiness being built on top of their happiness. He could only silently cry out in his heart.
Anyway, Boss Pei fully recovered after a short period of recuperation!
The real tough battle would start next month. It would directly determine the success or failure of this cycle!
The games developed by Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games would be launched this month. OTTO cell phones would also be launched for sale.
These were projects that Pei Qian had placed high hopes for. They could potentially offset the gain caused by the high box office of the movie!
Little Sun drove the car carefully towards Shenhua View.
Pei Qian sat in the back seat, taking out his cell phone on a whim to seek some spiritual comfort. The one thing that pleased him the most recently was the transformation of the authors in the Zhongdian Chinese Network class.
The updates from the authors' works had been showing a declining trend ever since the Tengda spirit had been spread to the class!
Even Ming Yu who used to be the model hardworking author stopped writing so much. He now wrote 7,000 to 8,000 words at best.
These 7,000 to 8,000 words were a lot to the other authors, but Ming Yu had reduced his word counts by half since he previously updated 15,000 words.
Pei Qian was especially happy about it.
The reduction in words from these authors would have minimal impact for the website, but it would not help Boss Pei's money loss plan. It's just that he felt very happy that lazy thinking was spreading.
The achievements were in the present and benefits in the future!
Pei Qian opened the Zhongdian Chinese Network website not because he wanted to read novels but because he wanted to see if the authors had updated less again today.
There was no helping it. Boss Pei was just someone so boring and easily satisfied.
However, the first thing that appeared after he clicked open the application was not the bookshelf but a splash screen.
"The Butterfly Game is out!
"The butterfly fanned its wings and set off a storm!
"It had become an entirely new urban theme since its serialization and had broken multiple records on the website!
"Bookmark and subscribe to get a random gift and Zhongdian coins gift pack!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
Wasn't this new book recommendation a little too strong?
The splash screen could be said to be the best recommendation resource on the website. Few books could obtain such a resource when they were first made available.
"'The Butterfly Game'? Why don't I have an impression of this book? Is it a new book that just came out recently?
"There is no pen name on the splash screen; is it by a new author? If the book is written well, I would have to immediately pull this author over to learn about the Tengda spirit!"
Pei Qian clicked in subconsciously.
He was momentarily stunned when he saw the author's pen name.
"The Tentacled Beast that Writes for His Life? Isn't that Cui Geng? He's still writing?!"
Pei Qian felt very perplexed. He was very fond of Cui Geng because Cui Geng played a very crucial role in the spreading of Tengda spirit in the class.
However, Pei Qian's impression of Cui Geng was still lingering in his 'complete speech' and 'special observer' status.
Pei Qian went to understand about Cui Geng's income. Based on his average subscription and average updating rate, his monthly income could only be around 10,000 yuan. 
The income of a special observer might not be high, but the actual value would obviously be over that amount if he were to add on all sorts of Tengda's subsidies and benefits. 
Moreover, his position did not have a specific scope. He would still earn the same amount of money even if he were to play games all day long.
What motivation would Cui Geng have to update his novel comparing it this way?
Pei Qian was a little confused. Why would a lazy bum with no reason to update his novel write a new book? This…
Something was definitely wrong. 
He glanced at the total number of words in this novel: 260,000 words!
The first chapter was published on February 2nd, New Year's Eve!
In other words, this book had been written for less than a month so far and already had 260,000 words written. There had been 10 chapter updates since it was published which added up to 280,000 words!
He wrote 280,000 words in a month? How was he a lazy bum like this then? He was already worthy of his The Tentacled Beast that Writes for His Life title!
Pei Qian felt a little faint.
Did he earn some money and found a ghostwriter?
That was still impossible. Ma Yiqun would not allow something like that to happen.
No matter what, writing 280,000 words in just one month was not something the Cui Geng that Pei Qian knew would do!
Else, it was Cui Geng who was problematic.
Else, it was Pei Qian's understanding that went wrong…
Pei Qian quickly opened the 'The Butterfly Game' novel to read.
He read chapter by chapter, from when the protagonist obtained a golden finger to make an unintentional game designer profit so much…
Pei Qian felt a growing sense of deja vu.
"Is… isn't this me?!"
The content of this novel emphasized repeatedly about his successes, and the readers' comments made him feel as though he was being laughed at again and again.
"This bast*rd's novel is too funny, hahahahaha…"
"Quickly update, lazy bum! I can't wait to see which unlucky idiot's 'dream being realized'!"
"This protagonist is rather interesting. You might say that he was doing something good, granting orders' wishes on a whim but always obtaining the opposite effect. If you say that he was doing something bad, he was indeed doing something that had every sense of the meaning of success. He was only left with a face of confusion!"
"I wonder what kind of thought process this lazy bum has! He can even think of such a scenario!"
"You're still calling him lazy bum? Call him the Tentacle Beast! He made such a massive update in one month, making it to pay-to-read. Do you yield!"
"I really want to know if someone else is using this pen name. The difference in style and material is too large. Even his state experienced massive changes. Previously, it was a gift to be able to get one chapter. Now, he sometimes updates four or five chapters a week!"
"It seems like it's the efforts of the authors' class organized by the website. The works of authors who went to the class are getting better."
"I'll @ the books I'm following right now!"
Pei Qian quickly glanced at the comments of the readers, his heart turning cold.
It seemed like… this book… has great reviews?
Pei Qian was shocked.
This was not as simple as Zhongdian Chinese Network having another good novel. More importantly, was Cui Geng worthy of the 'special observer' role?
How could a special observer start to write fervently every day? Would he still have the time to observe if he were to write so much?
He had absolutely let down Boss Pei's expectations for this role!
Pei Qian was very anxious. He refreshed the application by accident, causing a new article to pop out.
"I'd like to report a piece of good news to everyone. It has been 12 hours since the first VIP chapter was uploaded from 12am. This book has 8,000 subscribers now and has broken Zhongdian Chinese Network's record!
"There are still another 12 hours. The estimated total subscribers would be within 12,000 to 15,000. It's a very large breakthrough to both me and the website!
"I hope that everyone could come in to support before the final results are out. If you think this book is alright, please subscribe. Let us create a new record on Zhongdian Chinese Network!
"I'm also working hard on my writing. I'll update with a 10,000-word chapter once midnight strikes!
"Thank you, everyone!"
Pei Qian was feeling a little dizzy.
"What the f*ck…?" 
If they were to go by normal circumstance, the last 12 hours would definitely not be able to attract as much traffic as the first 12 hours. Putting the estimate at 13,000 subscribers was a very normal figure.
However, this was an excellent chance for Zhongdian Chinese Network. Ma Yiqun, therefore, was using everything at his disposal at Zhongdian Chinese Network to promote it!
The rest of the 12 hours had two peak readerships: during afternoon and night. It was possible to double the readership!
Zhongdian Chinese Network's greatest problem had been that the lower and mid-tier authors had always had average benefits, but no novel had really great results.
Cui Geng's original book had an average of 5,000 subscribers which put him at rank 40~50 on Zhongdian Chinese Network. Cui Geng was also one of the better achievers in class.
Ma Yiqun and Pei Qian were both very aware of this fact.
Pei Qian, therefore, rejected Ma Yiqun's request to poach masters from outside to spend the money on the mid and low-tier writers. However, he did not think that this class could actually still produce a super author!
An 8,000 subscribership was nothing compared to a large site like Infinite Chinese Network. Perhaps a dozen authors there could obtain such traffic.
However, an author with a 15,000 subscribership would also be a prominent author in Infinite Chinese Network! 
That meant to say that from then on, Zhongdian Chinese Network would also have masterpieces and prominent authors!
Moreover, that was not the crucial point.
The most crucial point was that Ma Yiqun used so many resources to promote one novel also for publicity to show the rest of the authors a kind of exemplary behavior.
It meant: 'Did you see it? You could also get a 15,000 subscriber if you were to write well on Zhongdian Chinese Network!'
If it were to persist, the average subscribership might even hit 30,000 to 40,000 without a problem!
The originally lower and mid-tier authors had good benefits on Zhongdian Chinese Network. Many authors did not go on board because they felt that there was not enough visibility on the website.
However, there was evidence that there was ample readership on the website. The upper limits had been raised so more authors would definitely come onboard!
It was the same logic for readers. Many readers previously might feel that there weren't many top-quality good books on the Zhongdian Chinese Network and treated this website as a spare tire. They would only come here when there were no other good books on the Infinite Chinese Network.
However, the stereotype of 'Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have any good books' would naturally have changed for the better!
In short, Cui Geng's The Butterfly Game would have a long term impact onZhongdian Chinese Network. It symbolized Zhongdian Chinese Network's advancement to the next stage!
Pei Qian was speechless looking at Cui Geng's chapter.
Boss Pei's happy place did not seem to be particularly peaceful today…


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?
------------------------------------------------------------
This book is highly popular in China and has set off a new trend. Webnovel has very high expectations for this book and has gotten the author to refine the first chapter as an exclusive for global readers. We hope everyone will enjoy reading it.

Dear Reader, Let's Talk About Books 
In this day and age, literature has multiple mediums--from the traditionally published books, self-published ones and the web-serial method of posting chapter by chapter. This is an example of a web-serial by the way. We've gone a long way in terms of coming across literature and even more the opportunity for budding authors to start their journey into writing with less barriers.
The Costs Of Reading A Book
We love free things, who doesn't? But you'd certainly don't want to work for free, right? That's why Authors, whether it be someone writing here on the platform or publishing on Amazon or the ones in bookstores--they sell it.
We all have limited time and money, so now's the time to think about it carefully.
Comparing E-Books and WebNovel Expenses
A Full-Length Romance Novel: 50,000-90,000 words
A Full-Length Fantasy Novel: 50,000-150,000 words
How Much? $0.99-$8.99
vs
Web-Series Novel
One Month Daily Updates
1600 words x 30 = 48,000 words
Average Cost per Chapter = 9 coins
9 coins x 30 = 270 coins
Why Read A Novel Via E-Book Form?
They're usually proof-read and edited and you can read the full-book.
They're often stand-alone unless you read a trilogy or series.
Why Read A Web-Series Novel aka WebNovel? (There's Other Platforms Too But You're Here)
The specific tropes and story are something you enjoy and are unavailable in your bookstore.
Top Up Expense
$4.99 = 250 coins
$9.99 = 500 coins
etc.
Author-Sama, Your Book Is More Expensive Than A Novel!
Yikes. Are You Spending More Than $4.99/Month To Read?
How About Getting Fast-Passes?
Fast-Passes Allows You To Read One Chapter For Free For Each Pass! 
How Many Fast-Passes Can You Get?
3 Fast-Passes Daily (Accomplish Missions To Get Them!)
3 x 30 = 90 Fast-Passes in One Month

But Your Fast-Passes Does Get Used Up And I Bet You Read More Than One Book.
So Choose Your Books Wisely. (It Doesn't Have To Be Mine)
Should You Use Paid Coins Here?
Toss a coin to this poor Author so they can keep writing instead of getting a 9-5 job?
The Additional Expenses Of Privilege:
Privilege allows you to read the chapters early by paying an additional amount which varies on the Author's discretion. It's similar to Pat-reon and other membership platforms that help support the Creators. After paying Apple and Google, WebNovel and Author split the net income after the expenses. Other Authors say that it nets around 30% of the actual Privilege you've spent.
Privilege gives the chance for an Author to earn at least a living wage or to earn an incredible amount if one is in the top ten Authors.

Hello everyone. I'm truly sorry that the Eternal Sanctum has not been updated on Webnovel for more the eight months now. With that, I have a brief announcement to make:
The Eternal Sanctum has migrated to another webnovel hosting platform, Creative Novels. I will no longer be updating it on WN's platform anymore. My sincere apologies.
Part of the decision comes from how poorly designed the original content creation platform that WN provides original authors with. Margins, inline texts, paragraph spacing, and many more features are not available on the content creation platform. Those who are not contracted authors do not even have access to basic formatting of font and text when uploading chapters, and some contracted authors I know have yet to gain access to such basic features including bold, italic, and underline lettering that you might see in translated projects hosted by WN.
Not all original content requires italic or bold font to get their stories across, but The Eternal Sanctum does. The way I wrote the novel and designed the project made it wholly incompatible with the characters directly speaking their thoughts in forms similar to dialogue, and were also elements that couldn't be expressed in the same format as background text or details. Trying to adapt the novel to the meagre tools WN offered didn't produce a satisfactory effect from an author's perspective, and I mostly feel that it has reduced the quality of the novel and made it significantly more difficult to read from a reader's perspective. 
Part of the result is because English is not my primary language, and I am still well within the learning process. Some of my wording may be either unsuited or too formal for its context, or might seem unfamiliar to those who know English as their native language. Regrettably, that is something that can improve only with time, and much, much more practice.
Another reason for my decision in pulling the novel from WN was because of people who steal and post unoriginal content. I do not know if many were aware, but two people had stripped all of The Eternal Sanctum's content and uploaded it WN with a different title and cover as their "original work". They have been removed a few months ago, but before they were removed, they had the same chapter titles as The Eternal Sanctum, and the chapters themselves were entire rips from the original content. Making matters worse, one of them was even in the process of becoming a contracted author with WN's platform utilizing my work when a few fellow authors reported it to the staff.
Finally, I do not think that The Eternal Sanctum, as a project, does not fit in so well with the audience that WN generates. The theme and structure of the novel doesn't seem to be compatible with most of the readers on the platform, unfortunately.
But let's not end on a miserable note. That fate is reserved for the characters in my novels only, not for my readers.
Is this the last time I will be posting on WN?
The answer is no. Definitely not. 
The Eternal Sanctum will be pulled down from WN, but I will be posting two new projects that I have been working on during this silence. Their titles (for now!) will be:
The Gaze of Heaven
The Master of Curses
Will I can't be certain about the future, I can say with confidence that those two projects will be on WN for a long time. Perhaps, once the contracts for original authors improves, they might get contracted. But who knows - it touches on international law for many authors on the program, after all.
Well. Time to conclude it here.
Thank you, everyone, for reading The Eternal Sanctum while it has been on WN. I apologize once more for being unnecessarily silent for so long on either updates or comments. For those who still have some faith in me (thank you!) and The Eternal Sanctum, you can still read it - updated to the most recent chapters - on Creative Novels. For the two new projects, please expect to see them appear on WN within a few weeks (two weeks if I can get the cover done!). They do take a different approach and atmosphere than my previous works, so it'll be a fresh breath of air for a few of us.
Once again, thank you.

Clouded Jade.

"A mirror?" she wondered, rubbing the smooth surface with her slender fingers. "What's so special about it? It looks so ordinary."


"Just not a plain mirror," replied the grandfather. His gaze distant, his voice was hoarse as he explained. "It'll change your life to the deepest core. Here, since it is your sixteenth birthday, I'll pass it to you as a present."


"How will it change anything?" she retorted, tapping the pristine yet dull surface. "You must be joking! Always prancing about how I need to be more vain, so mean!"


"You will see in due time," was the reply. 



You will see in due time. Just how a single, useless mirror will change your life in many ways unexpected by anyone.


Grandfather was indeed correct. An Fei could not help but admit it. The mirror had completely changed her life, just as he had said.

Only, was she presented hell, or a new life?
Because....

"My dear wife, I particularly enjoyed those soft cries and croons you prepared last night. Husband wants to eat meat again!"

A handsome man dressed in black robes patted her on the back, softly whispering into her ear. 


That handsome appearance combined with his devilish allure, he would torment her night and day without pause, tethered by a tender string of sweetness.


Definitely in hell. No doubt about it!
