Tossing and turning in bed, he couldn't fall asleep.
Li Yun got up and went to his computer desk.
He opened his laptop.
Aimlessly, he searched for some of the more familiar novel websites in his memory.
He had been exposed to online literature since the second year of junior high school.
At that time, he was a loyal reader of the early Qidian Chinese Novels website.
In his memory, some works of great authors that kept him awake at night had already begun to emerge in this era.
It wouldn't be easy to poach great authors from Qidian.
If a new online novel website wanted to succeed, it had to have a great author to hold the fort.
Li Yun wasn't very clear on how Yangshizi (柿子 lit. Persimmon) got its start in his previous life.
After all, when he joined Yangshizi, the website's operation was already very mature, and it coincided with the proliferation of brain-hole literature.
As a result, he was also deeply influenced.
He also looked at some works on Flying-Lu.
It must be said that in its early days, Flying-Lu still had a lot of talent.
Brain-hole literature has been deeply cultivated in Flying-Lu for many years, so it naturally has its own unique features.
The most profound impression it gives is that the names of the novels are very long.
It seems that only in this way can readers remember their works.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Isn't this also the case with Yangshizi later on?
In the end, it still leans more towards the readers' preferences.
Writing what readers like to read is sometimes the secret to the success of websites and authors.
In fact, online novels don't need too much writing skill.
It's enough to explain clearly what story you want to write.
Those so-called detailed descriptions and literary affectations are, in Li Yun's view, just pointless moaning and superfluous.
A simple description is enough.
Li Yun doesn't understand why so many new writers spend most of their effort on describing the characters' appearance.
What's the use of writing that?
Can readers see what they look like?
Especially in female-oriented novels.
In the ten female-oriented novels that Li Yun has read, at least eight of them will describe the heroine's appearance, figure, clothing, and so on in various ways.
They seem to be completely unaware that after readers click in to read this description, they will forget what the heroine looks like and what she's wearing after entering the story's plot.
So this is the so-called nonsense literature.
He doesn't know if other readers have the same idea as him.
Anyway, when Li Yun was a reader, he was very disgusted with the appearance of these contents.
There is also a large amount of setting and background information.
The real great authors will only gradually reveal the setting and background of the story in the process of unfolding the plot.
Instead of writing these things all at once from the beginning.
It's as if they're afraid that readers won't know these things.
After writing for a long time, Li Yun also has his own experience.
Coming back to his senses in a daze, Li Yun smiled dumbly as he looked at the articles on the Flying-Lu website.
Once upon a time, he was like them, sitting in front of the computer and staring blankly.
Sometimes he couldn't type a single line for half a day.
In the future, great authors will only write brain-burning articles, while so-called newbies will only write refreshing articles.
It can be described as clearly defined.
Refreshing articles will eventually become the mainstream of the era.
He opened the notepad on the desktop.
Li Yun began to type on the keyboard.
If it were other industries, he might need to hire professional talents to plan.
But he knew too much about the twists and turns of the novel industry.
His current career is not lacking the online literature industry to complete the gap, but how can he easily let go of the obsession left over from his previous life?
Besides, is writing novels really without a future?
No, as long as you can persist in this industry, you will shine sooner or later.
It's just a matter of how long it takes to wake up.
Everyone has their own moment of glory.

"What? You want to start a business?" Xiao Yun looked at Li Yun in shock.
Seeing Li Yun nodding seriously.
Her mouth twitched.
She had finally started from scratch and built up such a big business, but he suddenly said that he wanted to start another business.
It was still the online literature industry that she couldn't understand.
She looked at the email sent by Li Yun with an uncertain expression.
It recorded a dense array of business plans.
"Why is it free novels? How do you plan to make a profit?" After reading for a long time, she suddenly looked up and asked.
Li Yun sat on the sofa, calmly drinking tea and said: "Of course, it's advertising and membership fees."
Li Yun is not short of traffic.
The business of [Yunhai] has successfully expanded overseas, and now is the perfect time to develop online literature.
Use the huge traffic of [Yunhai] to bring the online novel industry to take off.
Impact the old online literature market.
Fully develop and open up the market for white novels, support new writers, and sound the horn of a cultural invasion to counterattack the world.
This is Li Yun's real purpose.
It was also the answer he wanted to get after racking his brains and staying up late.
"Do you think the current domestic online literature market still has room for development? Are you not planning to poach great authors?"
Xiao Yun also reads online novels in her spare time.
But she is not as addicted to it as her cousin, after all, she has to manage a huge processing plant.
"Of course, the development prospects of the online literature market are still great. I think it's time to reform the old online literature culture. The brain-hole white novels of Flying-Lu, or rather, refreshing novels, should be accepted by the public."
"Why? Flying-Lu's reputation is not very good."
Xiao Yun said this for a reason.
The main reason is that in this era, white novels are relatively heretical.
Some open-minded ideas are not accepted by people in modern society.
But Flying-Lu has been promoting it and believes in developing the brains of authors and readers, so that they can think more actively about how to write and attract more readers.
Li Yun is optimistic about it because he used to be an author of white novels.
The Flying-Lu articles in this period can actually compete with Qidian articles.
He doesn't plan to poach the great authors of Qidian.
It has always been the strong who adapt to the environment, how can the environment change the author?
The Qidian-style novel pit has affected many authors.
Especially new authors.
In Li Yun's view, the authors who write novels for the first time should start by writing the simplest and most basic storytelling.
It is already a successful entry into the industry.
You can't see hope or get paid returns by going to Qidian, in the same small pool where the great authors are rolling around.
What do they have to persist in?
It is undeniable that the Qidian Chinese Novels website does have an unshakable important position in the online literature world.
But the only novels suitable for new writers to write are white novels.
Wanting to run before you can even walk is a treatment enjoyed by geniuses.
Li Yun always believes that most ordinary people should first learn how to write the simplest stories, and then slowly cultivate their writing skills, plot, and so on.
Li Yun is more in agreement with Yangshizi's opening routines and the way it cultivates authors.
