Chapter Seventy-Three: What the Bookstore Sees

Glancing at his sister, Ye Chen saw that Na Nizi was holding a copy of "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and was fascinated.

So Ye Chen didn't care about her anymore.

He was so busy that he took out his phone and typed the words "web novel website" into his browser.

Soon, there were a number of fiction websites on the page.

At the top of the list is "Phantom Sword Novel Network".

In second place is "Xin-Lang Book City", followed by a "palm reading".

At the bottom of the rankings, there is a "Kichuang Book City".

Without thinking too much, Ye Chen clicked into the first-ranked phantom sword.

He didn't come to see the books, but to read the classification of the books.

Looking at Ye Chen, he found that on the novel website, there was no classification of martial arts and fantasy, but there were immortals.

Ye Chen was so busy clicking on the classification page of Xianxia, he pulled the page down, and soon saw the work "Immortal Cultivation Record", which ranked first on the monthly ticket list.

With a strong sense of curiosity, Ye Chen clicked on this work.

He first looked at the word count of this work, 500,000 words.

"500,000 words can win the champion of the monthly ticket list, this author is a god."

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen looked at the introduction of the work:

Immortal Tao is ethereal, eternal life, this is a story of cultivating immortals and pursuing immortality.

That's right, the synopsis of this book is spicy and simple.

Ye Chen didn't have time to open the book now to see how it was written, so he clicked on the author's personal homepage.

Sure enough, this guy named "Old Man Xianxia" is really a great god, and his writer star rating is 5 stars.

The old man Xianxia has finished a total of 4 books, Ye Chen looked at the number of words in the finished books, and almost threw away his mobile phone excitedly.

Nima, the longest of those books is only 1 million words, and the rest are not even 1 million words.

"Is this guy writing short or is the whole website writing that little bit of wordword?"

Excited, Ye Chen was so busy clicking towards the pages of the library.

Category: Xianxia

Work tag: unlimited

Number of words: unlimited

Sort by: Total number of words

At this time, the Xianxia books were arranged in order of word count from most to least.

When Ye Chen saw the book with the first word count, he was really shocked for a long time.

1.5 million, that's right, the longest Xianxia novel on the Phantom Sword Novel Network is only 1.5 million.

"Is this the highest level of Xianxia novels in this world? 1.5 million words. ”

At this time, Ye Chen still didn't give up, he looked at the Xianxia classification of Xin-Lang Reading and Palm Reading one after another, the highest Xianxia word count of Xin-Lang Reading was not even 1.5 million, and Qichuang Book City was less than 1 million.

"What level is this Nima, is it just a start?"

Ye Chen felt that he still knew too little about this world.

The world he knew was just the memory of the original Ye Chen.

Originally, Ye Chen didn't have much research on online novels, so it was impossible for Ye Chen to get anything through recollection.

So, he chose to search on the browser again.

This time, Ye Chen typed in the words "fantasy novel".

When the search page came out, Ye Chen finally determined that there was no such thing as fantasy novels in this world.

Immediately after that, Ye Chen typed in the words "martial arts novel".

Several martial arts novels appeared on the page this time, and Ye Chen looked at these unfamiliar names in a daze:

"Heroes Remember Heroes", "The End of the World", "Flying Wolf Rebellion"...

For these top-ranked martial arts novels, Ye Chen has never heard of them at all.

Shouldn't it be Mr. Cha and Mr. Gu leading the way? And who are these people?

Immediately, Ye Chen clicked on a book to see how well he wrote.

But when he clicked in from that link, it turned out to be an online bookstore, Dangdang.com.

"Heroes Remembering Heroes" that Ye Chen clicked in is a bestseller on the bell network.

It's just that this book is only available in physical form, not in electronic version.

"That's weird, how can there only be physical books?"

When Ye Chen looked at the number of words written under this book, he was also relieved, this "Heroes Remember Heroes" only has more than 300,000 words.

"It's no wonder that more than 300,000 words on the online novel website is just a starting point for the shelves, if a novel with such a number of words takes the online route, then the shelf will be finished."

It is for this reason that online novel websites do not have a category of martial arts.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Ye Chen was so busy that he searched for the encyclopedia of martial arts novels and online novels.

It wasn't until he finished reading the two encyclopedias that Ye Chen had a rough understanding of the development status of world novels.

As far as online novels are concerned, the Xuanyuan country of this world is heavily influenced by Western culture, science fiction and fantasy are two major categories, and cities that reflect modern life are also major categories.

Xianxia, which is based on classical Chinese mythology, is a very small classification, while the fantasy classification is directly absent.

Ye Chen understands that this actually has its own law of development.

Because the development of martial arts in this world is different from the original world.

The martial arts in this world seem to be still in the old martial arts era, and everyone like Jin Gu Wenliang who started a new school of martial arts has not appeared in this world.

Without the support of martial arts, Xianxia can't develop, and it doesn't seem strange that there is no fantasy directly.

The moment he understood the development status of this world novel clearly, Ye Chen felt a burst of enthusiasm.

"There is no fantasy in this world, so wouldn't it be that I can just take the works of those platinum gods on the earth and create a genre."

"No, this is a genre of creation, this is directly creating a big category."

"In reality, just take out a huge work by Jin Gu Wenliang, wouldn't it be possible to elevate martial arts to a new level."

Thinking like this, Ye Chen's already boiling blood was about to burn.

But it was only a moment before he thought of a thing that poured cold water on him.

"Nima, what's the use of thinking so much, I've read a lot of those novels, but it's impossible to remember any of them word for word."

"Do you want to write based on a general impression? Will something written like that still have the same flavor as it was? ”

In this regard, Ye Chen really felt hanging.

After all, everyone's writing has their own characteristics, which is why some things written by great gods will have a unique charm and make people form a sense of artistic conception.

Even if some people who have read the works of the great god completely imitate the writing of the great god, the writing is far from the original artistic conception.

"Well, let's get busy with music first, as for novels, if you really can't do it, you can write slowly by memories."

Ye Chen is not in a hurry anyway, there are still so many music works that have not been shown in this world, and those songs are enough for Ye Chen to be busy.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen didn't stay in the bestseller area for a long time, he bought the book "Why Sheng Xiaomo" for his sister Ye Fei, and bought "The Year in a Hurry".

After agreeing that Ye Fei would be free to accompany this girl to the movies, the two went to the history area to buy a few history books for Ye's father.

When he came out of the video area, Ye Chen had more than a dozen records in his hands.

Including all the albums of Chen Shuhua and Ye Qianwen, as well as some albums of other singers, which were carefully selected by Ye Chen for Shen's mother.

Because Ye Chen recalled that in these records, there were many tunes that Shen's mother hummed.

So Ye Chen can guarantee that Shen's mother will like these.

"Let's go, little girl, go back to the restaurant."

After speaking, the two walked out of Xinhua Bookstore.
