Prologue

[The path to achieving immortality is a long one. One has to have a sheer will and enormous talent. I don't know if you will able to reach it but you don't have anything to lose right. So, why not give it a try?]

I stared at my screen as I read those words. Those were the words the Immortal Spirit has said to Tang Xu when he had first met him.

I was reading a novel called [The Immortal Cultivator]. It was a modern day fantasy novel which I have been reading for some time.

It was a typical novel in which a ordinary boy finds a old dusty ring by chance which has a Immortal Spirit in it and embarks on the path of cultivation.

It was like those clich wuxia novel and the only difference would be its setting which was in modern world instead of a cultivation world.

It was not the best novel I had read but I personally liked it very much. I don't know why but I just can't stop reading it. 

But this novel is going to be discontinued by its author. I don't know why but the author has decided to discontinued the novel but I was sad when I heard that it was going to be discontinued as I personally liked the novel very much.

I scrolled through the latest chapter and decided to write a comment.

There were already some dozen comments on it.

[Why you had to drop this novel author?]

[I was waiting to read the new chapter everyday. Sad to know that you are discontinuing it]

[Will you release a sequel or a remake?]

[Hope you come back soon!]

[I wish you didn't discontinued the novel]

Those were some comments written by the readers. Although it wasn't like that the novel was in top stops in the rankings but it had its own popularity and there were many people who liked to read this novel.

I started writing my own comment. I had been writing a comment for every chapter and this would be my last comment for this novel.

I wrote and deleted it several times as I wanted to write a perfect final comment.

[It was a really good read and I really enjoyed it. I don't know why you have decided to discontinued this novel but you must have your own reasons. I just wanted to say that I love your novel and hope to see you writing more great novels]

I wanted to write more but I couldn't find words to write, so I just decided to post it as it was.

Anyway those were my sincere words. I have reading this novel for 2 years and I have enjoyed every moment of it.

I have found this novel when I was casually browsing through the website and it has really intrigued me.

As I was going to close the website, I noticed that I had received a notification that a 'message has arrived'.

I clicked on it and a message appeared.

—GX07 : Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it.

—Me : Are you the author?

No matter how much I tried to remember but the only person I know who has that username is the author of [The Immortal Cultivator]. So, I suspected it was him.

It was a slight unusual username to have, so I clearly remember it.

—GX07 : Yes,  I am the author of the [The Immortal Cultivator]. Thank you for your comments till now.

It was really the author. I excitedly started typing my keyboard as it was my first time talking with a author.

—Me : No, no it was your novel that was good. I really enjoyed it.

—GX07 : Thank you for reading it till now. By the way, I want you to do something for me.

—Me : You want me to do something for you? Tell me author. If I can do it, I will surely help you.

—GX07 : It isn't something major. I just want you to answer some casual questions for me. It's like a survey.

—Me : Questions! Sure I will answer them.

—GX07 : Thank you. Here's the link.

I noticed that he had sent me a link. As I was about to click on it, another message arrived.

—GX07 : By the way, if your answers passes the minimum requirements, I have a gift for you.

I was confused by that message. Passing! Minimum requirements! Will I also be graded for my answers?

I didn't think much of it as my eyes went on the gift part. I don't know what type of gift the author is talking about but I was looking forward to it.

It's been so long since I had received a gift from someone.

Anyone will like it when they received gifts. He also likes when someone give him a gift.

He clicked on the link and some questions appeared. There are five questions and they have some space to write answers for them. 

Q. What do you think is a good novel?

A.  A good novel is a novel in which the reader can visualize the scenes and the characters. It should have a good plot and there should be interesting storylines to make the readers engrossed.

He didn't know how to write a proper answer for that question and just wrote what he think. He wasn't a author, so he can only write his answer as a reader.

He didn't waste time thinking about it and skipped to the next question.

Q. What do you think is a good main character?

A. A good main character is a character which the reader can relate with. If the reader and the main character didn't relate with each other, then the reader wouldn't like to read the novel.

Again, he wrote what he thought would be the answer and moved to the next question.

Q. Do you think that the MC having multiple girls make sense when the story is in the modern world?

A. No, I didn't think that the MC having multiple girls make sense especially in a modern world. It literally breaks the common sense of the world. I can approve the MC having multiple girls if it is a fantasy world but in a modern world where the society is monogamous, it didn't make sense.

For him, it was a tricky question. At first, when he had started reading novels, he loved novels with the main character having multiple girls but as he started reading more novels, he found out that it didn't make sense for the main character to have multiple girls. Most of the time it only brings trouble for the main character and many authors only decide to go with a harem because they wanted to show the masculine side of the main character but it only helps in ruining the love side of the novel. He had seen many novels getting ruined because of the harem.

Those were only his personal thoughts of the harem. It wasn't like he hates that genre but he only likes it when it makes sense for the main character to have a harem. He didn't like protagonist who were dense and didn't know that the girls around him had already fallen in love with him. 

Well, moving on the next question.

Q. What will you do if you have the chance to enter the novel you like? Will you like to enter it or not?

It was more like a Yes/No question unlike the previous ones and there were two options, Yes or No to choose. Honestly, it was a rather easy question to answer especially for a reader. I mean, which reader didn't want to get transported in a novel of his liking.

I immediately clicked on the Yes option and moved on the next and the last question.

Q. Imagine if you got a chance to know the ending of a novel you liked which was discontinued or never finished. Will you like to know the ending or not? State your reasons?

The last question was a interesting one. I started thinking what will I do if I really found myself in that kind of situation. 

The question reminded me of the [The Immortal Cultivator] which was discontinued today. I wonder if I will be able to know its ending someday.

I decided to write my answer after some time.

A. If I really can read a discontinued novel which I like, then surely I would want to read it as anybody would want to know the ending of a novel they are reading and couldn't read because the novel was discontinued.

I finally wrote all the answers to the questions and clicked on the submit button. After he clicked on the submit button, the site asked for his e-mail to send him the results.

He filled his e-mail address and exited the site.

I wonder whether I will win or not. There's also the gift from the author if I passed the minimum requirements. I wonder what gift he will give me if I really passed.

Well, he didn't mind even if the author didn't give him a gift. He had only agreed to help the author answer the question because his novel was a fun read and it was free, means he was able to read the novel without any cost.

That's why he had decided to help the author, it was not for the gift.

Well, it wouldn't hurt if he really give me a gift. But I will only receive the gift if I passed the minimum requirements after all.

I was thinking naively back then, I didn't know that the Q/A session will change my whole life upside down.

A ordinary guy founds himself in a weird situation.

He was in novel, a story that he read for 2 years.

He had become a character with no destiny, a Mob.

In this world of Cultivators, Warriors and Mages. How can he a Mob become someone great.

Let's see, how he a Mob can change the story completely.

I am rehauling this entire book over from start to finish, hoping to make it like a brand new novel from beginning to end. A shiny strong happy novel. Since I will be doing this from scratch if you want to read the original version that i am deleting you will have to join my discord. https://discord.gg/9jQ38k7
The novel characters and setting will be changed
The novel title will be changed
The novel storyline will be changed
BUT KAT WHAT IS THE SAME THEN?
Well...
NOTHING
I am not keeping any of it. The novel was a fail. I can't make money off of it. It's doing bad on webnovel and its flunking into the background.
The only thing you will see the same is it's a CEO story about two men who meet in an alleyway at night. And the journey that leads them to their fate. A dangerous one that intertwines the past, present and future.
SO LIKE LEGIT WHEN CHAPTERS START DISAPPEARING AND CHANGING DON'T BE SURPRISED. AND IF LIKE ONE STORY DOESN'T MESH WITH THE OTHER AS I CHANGE IT CHAPTER BY CHAPTER. YEAH IT'S CAUSE I CAN ONLY WORK SO FAST. XD 

HOWEVER, once I am finish this story I don't know if it will reach 200K so I will just duplicate chapters until it matches to where I got. But I will make sure to tell people to stop reading past a point and tell them the rest is duplicates so that you do not waste any coins on the copy cat chapters.
I really do hope you guys can keep reading and like the new version which I am hoping will do well on webnovel here.
Stay happy, healthy, and keep reading.

Quintin has been in love with Kaylen for sixteen years, but it takes Kaylen breaking his heart and humiliating him to realize that sometimes it's best to let go. All his life he loved someone he could never have, and it takes healing to realize love can be given in places he never thought he could find it. But just when he finally feels like he can be happy again he never thought that Kaylen would show up. Especially not on their second anniversary of that horrible day, and certainly not asking the same thing.

He never knew how much the happiest words in the world could make someone really hurt. And Quintin wasn't sure he could ever say yes to Will you marry me, ever again.

Okay guys, time to tackle the elephant in the room. What the hell happened to this novel, why am I not updating it almost at all, and generally why have I turned into the sht author I always despised on this novel while somehow maintaining a proper rate on my other novels?
Let me explain everything points by point.
1st - Ending "Road to the Crown"
- This was the first instance that got me lazy with Battlesmut. I simply wanted to focus on the ending novel, so that once it would be over, I would have twice the time to write this one. Sadly, even after finishing the novel, I got so used to the relaxed days where I could actually do anything outside of writing, resulted in the first crack in my mostly spotless record of writing regularly (not fully, mostly...)
2nd - Sudden project falling on top of my head
- Don't misunderstand. This is something that I believe to be able to change my life, but over the last month, I was extremely absorbed with several things that are of utmost importance for me. As such, the time that I could spend writing (not to speak, the willingness to do so) were even smaller
3rd - Caught covid
- While I didn't really suffer from it that much (just some slight fever symptoms), the fact that I contracted it from my parents (who were tested positive) meant that for about the last two weeks (and quite honestly, still) I was insanely worried not about myself, but about my parents. While for some finding something one wants to do in life and actually doing it is a major step in reaching maturity as a person, I still love my parents very much and I can't imagine anything happening to them right now or anytime soon. That's just another reason why I wasn't very productive over the last few weeks.
4th - but by no means, the least important one. Here I will go on a little ramble, so bear with me or jump to the TL:DR at the bottom.
- From a long while, I had a problem with this novel. Partially it could be caused with my focus being diverted to other stories, partially it could be the responsibility of the situation I appeared and new ideas that I started adopting... But the truth is sadly quite obvious.
This novel is slowly nearing its end. This time, contrary to what I did in Road to the Crown novel of mine, I will be able to say that the entire story got perfectly fulfilled. The ending that is slowly (really slowly) approaching, is the one that I foreshadowed ever since the beginning, ever since I started treating this novel seriously. Obviously, it's adopted to my current ideas and all, but generally, this is the ending that this novel was supposed to end with. 
But.
Whenever someone writes like me, then outside of the general outline, they don't really need anything else. You just get the last even that happened, figure out its placement on the timeline, what is it supposed to be its aim, the ultimate goal etc...
And ever since I started wrecking my release, I was plagued with a single problem.
You cannot end the novel with a precise outline.
Not when it was built for so long and using so many deep ideas. You HAVE TO plan it out to give the ending its justice... But doing so, forces you to accept the fact that the novel is about to end. And I wasn't ready to do so for a long while.
For me, battlesmut is that bastardly but still loved child. It's beginning is awful, I always admitted it. It's a novel that allowed me to learn how to write. Although I'm not claiming I climbed that mountain all the way, I'm definitely far further than I was when I began. 
For me, battlesmut turns into this safe area of a huge project that came entirely from my head. With all its groundwork, character building, foreshadowing, I knew that I could always write about and based on something that only the readers of this novel are privy to. With the end of my second novel, it is my last novel where I managed to establish the world I created for it.
But the time where I would write the outline of everything until the end, had to come.
It happened a few days ago. I just sat down, decided to accept the fact that I will soon have to say goodbye to this child of mine... And I did it. I already know how will this novel end, what will happen behind it, what it will imply for the future... To a point I can even predict how some of you will react to the ending I have in store. All that's left for me to do is to sit down and write those last chapters, right?
Yeah, but as if it was that easy. 
Today, I made the first step to give the ending of this novel proper honours. I won't laze around anymore, I won't treat it as the story I can always come back to. I will respectfully bring the end of battlesmut to its fruition, and allow it to become a completed novel in the way I always envisioned it would. With daily releases and surrounded by loving readers. 
At this point, I also need to point out one thing - This novel still has a lot to go through before it will end. When speaking about nearing the finish, I meant it on the global scale, on the scale that the author needs to think in. In terms of the number of chapters... No, I won't give you that :D 
I can at least say, that while it will take a while, this novel will reach it endings properly, in due time and with respect it deserves for turning me from a random cashier in some local shop to a damned author of several novels who bounds his future entirely with writing.
TL:DR - I got emotional over the fact the novel is somewhat nearing its ending.
Thanks to everyone who stuck so far to read this rambling of mine. Thanks for the continuous support of this and other novels of mine, that allowed me to keep living the dream of being a full-time author. I hope that this time, I won't have to cover before myself for breaking my promises, instead properly fulfilling them and allowing this novel the lay the groundwork for the greatest and most insane project I ever could figure out, and that I already somewhat begun.
Cheers!
MotivatedSloth, signing off.


Did I reincarnate? Or was I transported to an Isekai cultivation world? To be honest, I have no clue!

What matters is that I turned from being useless, bullied, and trash, to fully-fledged garbage in my new cultivation world! 

But what is this strange bleep that keeps ringing in my ears? Is this some kind of system? Oh God! Did you gift me such a cliché, right at the start of my journey?

Wait, why are you trying to kill me? Did I do something to you? Stand back or I will be forced to use unstoppable Exhudia!

Tell me, what did she do for you to treat your significant other in this way? Let me show you how girlfriends should be taken care of!

Wait, everyone was always telling me that demons are bad, so why is this demonic queen trying to seduce me? Wait! KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM MY PRECIOUS SWORD!

I just came back from a mission and was promised at least a half a year of break. Why are you bothering me again with something as silly as subjugating a devil general?

UP master: A newcomer's new online series with high CG sci-fi. It is to be uploaded with the novel at the same time.
It was really a CG series!!
This was Ding Yang's first time seeing such a thing.
He was also stunned when he saw the sentence about the novel.
Novel?
Uploaded with the novel at the same time?
What bull!
The speed of the novel was one thing, but CG episodes required a long time to be created, how could they be synchronized?
Even though this science fiction show had come out, Ding Yang still hugged his knees in disbelief as he searched for this novel.
He enjoyed shows but not novels. He always felt that novels were not as immersive.
But this had broken all precedence.
The search results were changed around because the title of Jun Ci's novel had already been changed by Brother Dog.
But the tyrannical pen name of Emperor.
Ding Yang was able to recognize it.
He entered the novel with his skepticism and saw that it was already collecting money.
The first 100,000 words were free to read.
Ding Yang held a 'try it first' attitude and entered the novel.
It was 12 midnight.
Ding Yang read rather slowly, and he only finished reading the free chapters at 12 noon.
When he reached the pay-to-read chapters, it was as though he a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.
It was not because he had to pay to continue reading, but the fact that the pay-to-read only started when it got exciting. It was too unbearable.
He suddenly regained his senses; this novel is rather interesting!
It was rare for him to find it interesting, and therefore he felt the need to continue.
He initially thought of looking for a pirated free-to-read version, but upon thinking about it, the UP master's decision to make the series meant that they would have invested financial resources and physical labor into it. A novel did not cost much, and supporting it by paying to read was nothing.
With that, Ding Yang opened up Luo Du literary site's VIP page and recharged it with Luo coins (currency to read Luo Du's novels) and purchased the book.
It was not until 1 AM, late in the night, did he finish reading the latest chapter.
Ding Yang felt that it was at a cliffhanger, and the need to continue was unbearable.
Who would have thought that there would be a day a novel could make him have such a feeling.
The itch clawed at Ding Yang's heart. It seemed the author had not left any message regarding the novel.
He immediately felt that it was inconceivable. By the time he reacted, he realized that he had awarded the novel 10,000 Luo coins (100 actual Chinese dollars), left a message: Very good, very good, D website's videos are catching up, the author is truly 6666666 [1]! Wasn't it said that the videos would be updated at the same time as the novel? I hope the author will start uploading them!
As an otaku living in a middle-class family, 100 dollars was nothing to Ding Yang.
He felt that it was worth it to support the author.
After completing this, he did not go to sleep in satisfaction, but instead opened his social circle of friends and shared the video.
When Jun Ci woke up, Gu Lu's voice contained a rarely heard excitement: "Your Highness, take a look at D website. Our viewership is not too bad, there were many people who actively promoted your videos, and the show has been played more than 3000 times. The number of comments are at a 3:1 frequency! Your novel is being supported as well, and as of last night, you've earned 2129 dollars worth of author's remuneration!"
Jun Ci was brushing his teeth when he heard the news and was shocked. "Where did that money come from?"
It was so fast.
"Of course, there is no need to discuss your highness' literacy. With Gu Lu's videography, it will definitely be welcomed by everyone!"

[1]: Chinese slang to mean 'awesome'


(A refreshing novel about rebirth and disguise, with the male lead Jiang Yi and female lead Jun Ci)
The popular and magnificent ‘crown prince’ was reborn into a disfigured little pathetic girl whom everyone loathes.
The Crown Prince expressed that this all didn’t matter!
The body’s original appearance was actually a face that everyone, men and women, old and young, would go crazy for.
“He” was the perfect lover in the hearts of countless men and women.
Anyone would dream of marrying her!
But one day, the prince charming became a goddess?
Male fans: How explosive!
Jiang Yi: I’m not going to accept this, I am her husband!
Jun Ci smirked. So what exactly are you not accepting?

When writing your webnovel, what "surface appearance" means is the packaging and appearance of your novel.

In our daily lives, we're well aware of the importance of packaging in influencing how well a product sells. Oftentimes, the packaging is even more important than the product itself. Yet, many authors tend to neglect their work on the packaging of their webnovel. They believe that this is the responsibility of the website staff, and that only the website staff can help design and beautiful their novel's page.

What authors don't realize is that no matter what website you post your novel at, you as an author can modify quite a lot about your novel's appearance. These factors are quite influential in the success or failure of your novel. Since improving your novel's surface appearance is vastly easier than improving the content of your novel, it could be said that this is especially important as well as efficient.

As for the surface appearance of your novel, it can be categorized into the seven types below.

1. Your novel's title

In your packaging, one of the most important elements is your novel's title. For any novel, in most normal circumstances, the reader will find out your novel's title before any other information about it. The title is the most important factor in whether a reader chooses to click on it and read your synopsis or not. It also helps the readers to understand the most important elements of your novel. And so, there's no need for me to speak any further about the importance of your novel's title.

In that case, what type of a novel title is a good one? I believe that a good novel title should accomplish the following points.

（1） Simple

Simple here refers to using easy to understand words that even elementary school students can recognize, rather than using some highly esoteric or difficult words that few people can read in order to sound fancy.

（2） Only English words in the title

Don't use a title with words from other languages. Nor should you have numbers, punctuation, or individual letters in your novel's title. This will make your novel title look more professional as well as make it easier for readers to search for your novel.

（3） Easy to read and remember

Perhaps "easy to remember" will make some authors confused, but actually, it's connected to being easy to read. A good novel title should flow quite well when people try reading it out loud. That's why you shouldn't use words that are difficult to pronounce. Otherwise, if readers can't even remember the title of your novel, how are they possibly supposed to remember your story?

（4） Not too long

This is also an issue about readability. If your novel's title is overly long, it's not easy for readers to search for it or remember the name. Normally speaking, the average book's title has around two to six words in it.

About the length of your novel's title, there's something else that needs to be noted. Amongst authors, there's a saying that the shorter your novel's title is, the better, because this helps your novel to be ranked farther in the front. In a way, this is correct, because many websites often put the novels with the shorter titles first when giving recommended reads on the front page, so the titles that are shorter will naturally be at the forefront. However, this alone shouldn't make us conclude that a shorter title is always better.

The influence of a novel's title has so many factors involved, and being on the recommended list is only a tiny portion. If you can have a better position on the recommended list, of course, that's a good thing, but if you choose a shorter title just for this, then you'll definitely lose more than you gain. Besides, even if you have a really short novel title, can you guarantee that there are other recommended novels out there that don't have equally short names? What if you're in the middle? Honestly speaking, there's no real difference in being at the left or in the middle of the recommended novels section.

（5） Not esoteric

When choosing your novel's title, it should be just like writing your novel. You should consider your general audience. And since you're writing a webnovel, your general audience would obviously prefer to read words in an easy to understand manner. If your novel title is overly esoteric or poetic, or sounds too philosophical, then your novel's popularity will be greatly affected. The majority of readers probably won't even click on your novel to read the synopsis.

（6） Appropriate bandwagoning
From a certain standpoint, bandwagoning can be advantageous. For example, since "Library of Heaven's Path" is a highly popular novel, perhaps you could write a book titled "Library of Hell's Path," which will naturally bring your novel some attention.

However, it's obvious that this actually isn't so much of a good thing for either the readers or the website, so it's quite easy for your novel to become suppressed if you bandwagon too much. For instance, if you really do call your novel "Library of Hell's Path," then it'll be quite difficult for you to receive a recommendation on the front page because it'll be too similar to the popular "Library of Heaven's Path." Not only that, there are also disadvantages for the author, because using such a copycat name will make some readers displeased as well, making it harder to attract some readers.

And so, that's why newcomer authors should only bandwagon appropriately and observe what type of novel titles are the most popular. Then, you should create your own original title that's similar in spirit but not in style.

（7） Express the uniqueness of your novel

A good novel title should express the uniqueness of your novel. The best-case scenario would be that your title expresses the main wish-fulfillment point of your novel. For example, a novel named "Returning to the Yuan Dynasty" can already tell you the two major information points that this novel is about returning to the past and historical fiction. Or, the famous franchise "Spiderman" tells you simply from the title that the story is about someone with spider-based abilities as well as being a superhero story.

In conclusion, when naming your novel, a good method would be to organize your novel's keywords and special vocabulary as well as all the most interesting factors in your novel, then categorize and modify them while seeing which point or points would be the best to put in your novel's name. Finally, come up with an excellent novel title based on the above seven points.


2. Choosing your genre to categorize your novel as

After choosing your novel's title, you should choose the specific genre your novel belongs to. Actually, perhaps it's not quite appropriate to use the word "choose" here, because the genre is really decided by the content of your story, not what you as an author choose.

About choosing your genre, the most important, and basically the only rule there is, is to "never do false advertising." That's because the end result of false advertising will be bad for everyone.

For example, even though you're clearly writing a novel about mystical abilities in a modern-day setting, you placed your novel into the alternate history genre. This way, readers that enjoy alternate history novels will happily start reading your novel but will leave disappointed, while readers that enjoy modern novels with mystical abilities won't even be able to find your novel by genre.

For most novels, it won't be difficult to classify its genre at all. However, there are some novels that have elements from multiple genre types. Perhaps your novel is both modern as well as xianxia, with science fiction and military added as well, and even fantasy. This doesn't mean that your story is bad, however, this type of story will often confuse the author. Just what overall genre should the author classify such a story under?

First of all, what you should consider is the matter of which story elements are truly the most important. This is the foundational issue at hand.

However, if you as an author really feel like all the elements are equally important, then you'll just have to make a decision and choose one genre on your own. There are two factors you should consider here. First is that popular genres will have more readers, and the second is that less popular genres will have fewer novels and thus less competition.

These two factors are a matter of not being able to have your cake and eat it too. For newcomer authors, you can choose a genre based on your own confidence in your novel's ability. But normally speaking, it's more recommended to choose a less popular genre to categorize your novel as.

All of the same could be said for your story's synopsis as well. Make sure that your story's synopsis matches the genre that it's supposed to be under.

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.

At the time when Furuhashi Sakurakyu was uncertain and baffled.
In Tokyo, an editor named Kento Nara just got off work.
When he got back home, he finally got rid of the negative emotions he had from being scolded by the chief editor. He went back to his room after having dinner.
Kento Nara could not wait to open his computer and read the new chapters that he had been saving for a week on the NICONICO website. He checked the time after he finished reading. It was 10 p.m. He quickly opened another light novel website named "Let's Be A Light Novelist."
Kento Nara had rarely logged onto this website previously because he used to think that the light novels published online were all rubbish.
In Japan, there was a standard procedure regarding the publishing of a novel. One needed to be acknowledged by an editor to publish their light novel. If the editor thought that your novel was flawed and lacked logical reasoning in the storyline, he would return the novel and ask you to redo it. Often, the editor exerted a significant influence on a light novel.
Unless you were already a famous light novelist, you would generally have to listen conscientiously to the editor as the publication rights still lay in their hands.
Usually, the editor would not do you any harm.
It was the same when it came to mangaka.
Most novels uploaded to the website were aberrations rejected by editors, so there was not much to look at. This was why Kento Nara disliked the site. You would probably dislike the website as well if you were the editor.
If the rejected novel became a hit on the website, that would be humiliating for the editor in question.
There were some fine works on the internet in recent years. Some examples would be "Bad Student of the Magical High School," "Starting Life in Another World," "Overlord" and so on. However, these novels were first uploaded online and discovered by people before they were published, remade into manga, and adapted into animations. Nonetheless, these novels were of the minority.
As for Kento Nara, he liked to log into some light novel forums and discuss the writing techniques for light novels with the netizens. Aside from increasing his knowledge, he also got a sense of satisfaction when other people agreed with his views.
However, there was now a novel that gave him many restless days and nights. It was called "Loading File of Tokyo."
Back when it first came out, it was in popular demand. But Kento Nara looked down on it. He even thought, arrogantly, that all the readers were paid to leave good reviews because only he knew the most about light novels. 
He remained indifferent when one, or even 10 people recommended it to him. But he became curious when the whole forum began buzzing about this single novel.
Although Kento Nara was never a person who followed the majority, he still felt curious about what had generated such a fuss. 
As a result, he went online to search for this novel and began to read it!
He became obsessed with it after he started reading.
"Loading File of Tokyo" was a light novel where the main character could load files, substantially similar to that of 486, the main character in "Starting Life in Another World."
"Starting Life In Another World" was an alternate universe fantasy novel, and 486 had used this ability to change everything that had happened from bad to good.
On the contrary, the main character in "Loading File of Tokyo" used this ability to flee and commit crimes!
Besides, the writer had made the introduction very suspenseful, exciting, and intriguing. The main character would die a horrible death every time before loading the files. However, the sense of satisfaction when the culprit was arrested after loading the files following his horrible death felt wonderful to Kento Nara.
He was surprised by such a feeling. There were not many highly intelligent, brave, and astute male leads in Japanese light novels. Most of them were passionate but relied too heavily on their emotions to set off their primordial energy. Many readers had criticized such novels, asking, 'Is the main lead going to be dead if he cannot set off his primordial energy one day?'
On the other hand, internet novels on Huaxia were different. The main character was usually diligent and steadily improving his skills, pulled back from the brink of death each time by a new skill. Gradual skill improvements like this allow the readers to put themselves in his shoes as if they were improving with him together.
But obviously, Kento Nara did not know about that. "Loading File of Tokyo" was actually a novel with a similar character who gradually improved his skills. The main character became more mature, with his personality changing every time he died. Was it not odious, equivalent to hitting someone in the face every time the main character got resurrected after his death and would come back to take revenge?
This was one of the reasons why "Loading File of Tokyo" was so popular. The readers had come across many similarly weak main characters who set off their primordial energy with their passion. When they looked back at the main character in "Loading File of Tokyo," they were amazed that there was finally a novel where the main character was of average intellect, not holier-than-thou or promiscuous.
"It's finally updated!" Kento Nara let out a sigh of relief when he clicked into the light novel website. Miss Gentera had taken leave for almost a week, but none of the readers complained about it. After all, Miss Gentera used to write 10,000 words a day, with the readers absolutely overwhelmed by her amazing typing speed. Some novelists could not even publish two volumes of a novel in a year.
What about Miss Gentera? Her third volume was ending soon, and she was about to start on the fourth volume.
How long has it been? It's been barely even a month now.
She has written 300,000 words in one month.
It would be an intolerable injustice if this book were not a hit.
Of course, "Loading File of Tokyo" won by its quality. With such good quality and quantity, this light novel was totally incomparable. It could easily defeat the other light novels.
So what's the problem of taking a week off? Some readers were even hoping that Miss Gentera could write slower to ensure good quality.
But a week was still unbearable. Kento Nara was so excited when Miss Gentera updated the novel. At this moment, he was just a reader and not an editor.
"20,000 words!?"
Kento Nara was ecstatic when he saw Miss Gentera had updated 20,000 words at once.
In the previous few chapters, Miss Gentera wrote about the changes in Manatsu Hokuto's mentality after all he had suffered and the loading of files, resulting in his personality distortion and antisocial behavior. This worried Kento Nara even more.
He was certainly not worried about whether the government would ban the novel because of the main lead's personality. It would not matter even if Miss Gentera wrote about something outrageous like the protagonist killing the prime minister in the novel... What he was worried about was that Miss Gentera would ruin the novel. Although the changes of the main character flowed in a natural progression, Kento Nara wanted to see the main character steel himself by using the ability to load files and remain open-hearted even though his hands were stained with blood.
In that case, even though it was only a light novel, the public would be very impressed by it. It could even raise various discussions about pertinent topics in societies, elevating it to become a phenomenal light novel.
The main character had become distorted now, he was extremely savage even when he was facing the police. All he could feel was dismay.
The ability to load files was fascinating, but it drove Manatsu Hokuto, the main character, crazy. Occasionally, Chiba Shiori would describe Manatsu Hokuto's mental instability through his suicidal ideations. 
Manatsu Hokuto's experience was very well depicted by Chiba Shiori. Many readers shared the same feelings when they put themselves in his shoes.
Thus... If Manatsu Hokuto, the main character, carries the same antisocial personality in the future chapters, perhaps the readers will feel awfully bad.
Kento Nara continued reading with this thought in mind.
