Chapter 13: A Week's Holiday

In 2001, online novels just started, the industry is in the exploration stage, even the industry's leading Huanjian Book League, the interactivity of the portal is not particularly good, the function needs to be improved, the layout is more like a 'reading forum', the popularity of a work, can only be judged by the number of messages, clicks and collections.

Since the work is free, many readers don't even have an account, let alone collect it, and the number of comments is the most important one, which shows the reader's attention to the book, and it is also the author's biggest creative motivation. Unlike the later opening of the charging model, subscription has become the most direct and accurate standard for the quality of works, if you write well, the subscription will rise, and if you write badly or collapse, the number of subscriptions will shrink.

Late that night, Yu Zhe finished writing the latest chapter, and then started uploading "I Am a Hooligan", he saved more than 100,000 words, he didn't panic when he had food in his hand, and he sent a full ten chapters of more than 30,000 words in one breath.

After uploading, he waited in front of the computer for more than an hour, constantly refreshing the page to see the data.

A little disappointed, after more than an hour, the number of clicks was less than ten, but there was a message.

"What kind of bullshit name, is the author of a bad brain, and kills people, you kill one and I'll see ......," said a netizen with the screen name 'Moonlight on the Lotus Pond'.

Yu Zhexiao's heart sank, and he was very unhappy.

Damn, do you have the ability to write one? Naturally, I thought of what Zhao Zejun said to him, can fiction and reality be mixed up? I don't understand this, and I'm embarrassed to post a book review?!What is it called bullshit Moonlight in the lotus pond, your mother, I wish you to take a walk by the lotus pond at night and drown in the pond, wahahaha......

"Thank you for your attention, the author will work hard, please be patient and read it......" secretly cursed the moonlight on the lotus pond for a few words, Yu Zhe was in a better mood, and knocked a fake reply.

Boss Zhao said that writing novels is not afraid of being scolded, scolding is the most direct feedback from readers, and what readers scold is often easy to ignore by the author himself, helping the author improve from another angle. Of course, it is not excluded that some people scold for the sake of scolding, but in any case, being scolded means that someone reads it, like the previous books, no one scolds them, that is the real garbage, well, Boss Zhao said that kind of writer is called 'hitting the street', that is, he falls face down on the street, which is very vivid.

In the middle of the night, there was very little traffic, and the hooligans were new books, and few people could see them, so Yu Zhe waited for a while, but he was really sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day was Saturday, almost noon, Yu Zhecai woke up in a daze, didn't brush his teeth after getting up, didn't wash his face, opened a bag of Wangwang snow cakes, opened the computer while eating, and logged on to the website of Huanjian Book League.

As soon as he entered the page of "I Am a Hooligan", Yu Zhe was stunned, rubbed his eyes, stared at the screen again, and suddenly yelled like crazy: 'Holy shit!'

This roar shook the ground, and Yu Zhe's mother, who was eating in the living room, heard it, and was so frightened that she put down her chopsticks and rushed into Yu Zhe's room, and asked with a concerned face: "What's wrong son?"

"Mom, it's okay, it's okay. Yu Zhe said without raising his head, but stared at the computer screen with a flushed face.

Yu Zhe's mother saw Yu Zhe like this, and she was even more uneasy, and cautiously persuaded: "Son, is there too much pressure to study? It's okay, didn't your father say it, when you graduate from high school, send you abroad, and foreigners don't care about our college entrance examination ......results."

"I'm not going abroad! You can eat, I still have something to do. Yu Zhe waved his hand and said impatiently, but his eyes kept staring at the computer.

"Okay, okay, okay if you don't go abroad, whatever you want. Yu Zhe's mother hurriedly followed Yu Zhe's words, but she was still not at ease, and said, "Son, otherwise, I will give you a new mobile phone during the winter vacation?"

"What kind of mobile phone do you change, I'm not using it well now. ”

Yu Zhe finally withdrew his gaze from the computer screen, probably realizing that his tone was too much just now, and squeezed out a smile: "Mom, I'm really fine, I just saw a funny thing on the Internet, you can eat, really, rest assured......"

Yu Zhe's mother saw Yu Zhe staring at the computer, her face flushed, and suddenly she seemed to understand something! The boy grew up, secretly surfing the Internet in the room, and there were some things, and she definitely didn't want her mother to know......

"Ahem...... Son, you pay attention to your body, you want napkins in the living room. Yu Zhe's mother smiled, turned around and left the room a little embarrassed and closed the door.

"What napkin do you want?" Yu Zhe was stunned for a moment, didn't think too much, stared at the computer screen and refreshed the page again.

In just a few minutes, the number of comments, clicks, and favorites has increased again!

The number of messages is 101, 38 favorites, and the clicks have exceeded 1,000!

Writing a book in Huanjian, Yu Zhe knows too well what these data mean!

The author of Huanjian has a set of methods to roughly estimate the true popularity of the book, and it has been officially recognized.

Generally speaking, the ratio between the number of collections and the number of real readers is between 1:40-50, and most readers who chase books will not click on the 'Add to Bookshelf' on the website to collect, but click on the browser to add to the favorites.

Because it's free to read,The account has no other use except for leaving a message,Many readers don't even have a Huanjian account,On the contrary,A reader tends to chase several websites of books,So join the website collection,It's better to add it directly to your browser's favorites。

By the time the novel reaches maturity, it's not uncommon for the ratio to exceed 1:100, and there may be only a few hundred collections on the site, but tens of thousands of people are reading the book on the Internet.

His first three books, from beginning to end, did not add up to 10 books.

To judge whether a book has the potential to be a big hit, it is the proportion of favorites and comments, which reflects the reader's attention to the book.

Most of the people who can join the website account bookshelf collection are old readers, and most of the old readers are used to reading quietly without talking, as for those who don't have an account, they don't even have the message function.

Therefore, the number of collections and messages of general hot books can reach 1:1 in the early stage, which means that the book is very good-looking.

The ratio is now close to 1:3!

Although it is only the beginning of the novel, these data can only provide a side reference, but it is enough to prove that there is the potential for fire!

Yu Zhe gasped, he had the impression that no book on the website could achieve such good results at the stage of publication, and he was even a little worried, is the data wrong?

Carefully clicked on the message board, carefully read it from beginning to end, and even counted the number one by one, and there was no mistake, and his heart fell into his stomach.

In this message, there are still some criticisms, and even the rhetoric is quite fierce. But most of the comments are positive.

"Can a novel be written like this? Blood Cloud, you're absolutely gone!"

"If you want to evaluate, just one word: cool! If you have to add a definite sentence in front of this word, that is, 'really fucking cool'!"

"Sure enough, it's a big hooligan, wahahaha, but I like it!"

"The content is super exciting!"

"Come on, blood cloud, hurry up and write quickly, when will the next chapter be released, I'll be waiting for you in front of the computer!"

"Is this author a psychopath, has he ever studied literature?

At the same time, Yu Zhe received a text message from the deputy moderator of the fantasy version of the Huanjian Book League.
