My heroines are alive

Chapter 57 The best of times, the worst of times
As long as the writers of online articles are writing at the starting point, most of them will face a problem of pushing up, and this is really a headache.

So after seeing his book "The Heroines in My Writings Are Alive" posted on the text message recommended by the website, Lin Jue was both happy and worried for a while.

The joy is that the new book is on the twitter, and more people will naturally read it. It is naturally a great thing that more people read the book.

The worry is that when a new book is on the push, it has to compete with the books of the same period, otherwise it will be squeezed off the push soon.

A book can only go through the new book recommendation process within the first 30 words of the new book issue. As long as it is squeezed out of the recommendation, it is almost a death sentence, which is a real squeeze.

Just when Lin Jue was having a headache and was wondering how to pass the election period well, Jasmine walked in with a teacup.

"Have a cup of tea, dinner will be ready soon."

"Um, thanks. Mmm."

Lin Jue stretched his waist while talking, but still felt a little sad.

Jasmine saw that he seemed to have something wrong, so she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Is there anything bothering you?"

"If there is, then there must be promise. My new book is recommended, and more readers will see it."

Immediately, Lin Jue opened Qidian's classified website and asked Jasmine to look at a book hanging on it.

There are a variety of covers on the webpage, with the title of the book underneath, which looks very lively.

Although Jasmine didn't know exactly what was going on, she still asked after looking at it: "Isn't this a good thing? Your book has been displayed and you have more readers. There is nothing to worry about."

"You don't understand, this is just the first step in the recommendation, and there are still several steps to go."

"How many steps? What do you mean?"

"It means that after my book is recommended, it will compete with other books of the same recommendation. If I win the competition, I can advance to the next recommendation. The further the recommendation, the bigger the recommendation and the more obvious the effect. "

Speaking of which, Lin Jue clicked on other recommendation pages with the mouse to show Jasmine the effect of different recommendations.

The recommendation here at the starting point is generally in the following order:

Popular categories——Popular serials——Channel new books——Category push——Category closed push——Hot works on the home page——Fight on the home page/Sanjiang on the home page.

Among them, the first five recommendations are all in their respective categories. For example, "My Heroines Live" is in the light novel section, so if there are any top five recommendations, they will appear in the light novel category.

The last three heavyweight recommendations will appear on the home page, which is equivalent to the region-wide recommendations, which are naturally much more useful than the partition recommendations in a certain partition.

After introducing these recommendations, Lin Jue continued: "This series of recommendations is a huge threshold for a new book. If you can go through all of them, if you forcefully recommend them on the last homepage or Sanjiang on the homepage only charges for it, the results are generally not good. Where will it go?"

"That means, you have to push one by one to compete with other books, just like a series of competitions."

"It can be understood in this way. You have to compete five or six times in a row, and you can only reach the end if you win all of them."

Immediately, a somewhat fantastic scene appeared in Jasmine's mind.

A copy of "The Heroines in My Writings Are Alive" stood on the ring and welcomed his opponents in this battle.

If you beat your opponent in the same period, you can take a step forward and get a better recommended position. If you lose, the end is almost a dead word.

Thinking of this, Jasmine looked at so many books displayed on the screen, and couldn't help asking: "Then how to judge which book has been promoted or not in the recommendation? Does the editor decide?"

"It used to be judged by editors, but now it is judged by big data."

"Big data? What is big data?"

"You can understand that there is a god who has no thinking ability. This god will judge whether to advance or not based on the amount of follow-up reading of this book during the recommendation period, without any personal emotion."

"In other words, the more people you watch, the easier it is to advance? It seems fair."

Seeing Jasmine's relieved expression, Lin Jue smiled wryly and said, "Do you really think it's fair just to follow up on data theory?"

"Let's be fair, the one who sees more people will be more powerful, isn't it normal?"

"If there is a book in front of you, this book usually lays the world background, shapes the characters, and buryes the foreshadowing leads in the early stage. It slowly brings readers into the world through delicate and true descriptions. After the subsequent background is rolled out, the world view becomes more and more grand, reaching millions. It reached its peak after writing, and people can't stop reading it, do you think it is a good book?"

"That's certainly a good book."

"At this time, another book appeared next to it. There is no need to lay the world background, no need to shape characters, no need to bury foreshadowing leads, and no need to even talk about logic. The return of the generals and soldiers shocked the whole family, and they slapped everyone in the face, and Zhang Zhang slapped in the face, do you think it is a good book?"

"There is still such a book here? It's so strange, how to write it in the middle and later stages?"

"Don't worry about how you write in the middle and late stages. In short, here comes the problem. If you throw these two books together to participate in the promotion competition and only read the first [-] words, which book do you think will be read by more people in the early stage? Which one? Book wins?"

"Probably the latter one. The best parts are concentrated in the front, which is better than those step-by-step ones. Ah, I see, so that's what happened!"

Having said this, Jasmine couldn't help but widen her eyes, as if she understood Lin Jue's meaning.

It is essentially a fair and unfair game to use big data to determine the recommended promotion.

This is equivalent to a problem for all online writers. If the opening is not explosive enough and the gimmicks are not enough, then there is a high probability that you will not even be able to pass the new book issue. The first recommendation will be broken for you, and you will die if you fall.

On the contrary, many books that are fast-paced and have great brains, but obviously collapse after less than a few hundred thousand words, occupy most of the recommended positions because of the intensive early stage.

The author group is not stupid. Since everyone knows that the early stage will be popular before someone will follow up, and if there is follow-up in the early stage, there will be recommendations.

The result is unlimited introversion, constantly speeding up the pace, increasing gimmicks, and reducing background foreshadowing, character creation, foreshadowing and other useless things in the early stage as much as possible.

If you pursue [-] words of coolness, I will pursue [-] words of coolness.

If you pursue [-] words, I will start to pursue the title.

In the end, books such as "Live Broadcast: 100 Billion Rewards from Local Tyrants at the Beginning", "Sign in for 1 Years: Go Out of the Mountain and Kill the Big Devil with a Punch", "Comprehensive Man: Millions of Female Leads Line Up on Bed" and other books appeared, as if holding The loudspeaker is shouting "Is it cool, I will ask you if you like the title of this book".

In this deformed ecology, most authors are forced to rack their brains to think about how to attract readers in the early stage, how to leave more follow-up readers in the early stage, and how to quickly create the biggest explosion point.

Is the middle and late stages of a book good to look at?Will it crash?Can you keep writing?No one cares, or has no energy to care.

Except for those masters who have their own readership and don't worry about follow-up and recommendation issues at all, most authors are being engulfed by the tide of the times and are in a state of involuntary control.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue looked at the new book he had just recommended, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

My book does not belong to the kind of book that has a lot of hot spots, and the number of follow-up reading should be very low. It is almost impossible to go through the entire recommendation process. What should I do?

I just have to go to the group to fool the reader, and see if I can fool a few follow-ups, even if I can add one more tweet, it would be good.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue snapped his fingers, and opened up his book friend group.
