Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 219 - 217 Have I Read This Kind of Book Before?

In the office, Wang Jian was staring at the computer screen while massaging his slightly sore wrist, talking to himself.

"This book, ’Anomalies,’ actually has over 5 million words."

"Many famous authors don’t even write this much in their entire lives!"

He recalled the plot and nodded slightly.

"Even at the end, the plot didn’t have any obvious repetition."

As for the extensive scenic descriptions and dialogues...

"Of course, it’s chosen to satisfy readers who like everyday life."

He laughed and shook his head, entering the Twitter topic area.

"That’s it? The final big boss is so weak?"

"Always talking about Xiling Apostles equaling God, Wang, aren’t you really planning to talk more about the so-called Xiling Empire?"

"Through the neurotic goddess, I find that Xiling Empire really interesting!"

"Ha, don’t you know how many sequels ’Star Wars’ has shot? Don’t worry, there will definitely be more about the Xiling Empire!"

Huh?

Wang Jian shifted his attention to the bookshelf in his mind.

Then, he looked at that comment and showed a bitter smile.

"This... I can’t decide that!"

At that moment, another comment caught Wang Jian’s eye.

"’Anomalies’ has ended, I feel a kind of inexplicable sadness."

"It’s true, on some day in March 1996, a boy named Dam’s youth ended."

"Hurry and see, ’King of Bestsellers,’ Stephen King has posted a work called ’Mist’ on the website."

"The style of bestsellers and website works are completely different. Don’t have too high expectations!" Dam commented, "But... since there’s a free part, I’ll go give it a try."

His next comment came three minutes later.

"Well, Dam’s youth has come back!"

Oh my...

Wang Jian read the comments, gently smiling.

"Your time reversal speed is way too fast."

"But, Mr. Stephen King has already started publishing works on the website?"

He closed Twitter and entered the directory for ’Mist.’

Half an hour later, Wang Jian, still not quite satisfied, rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"The control over language by master-level authors is indeed very strong."

Influenced by doomsday theories, disaster novels have their place in United States’ literary circles.

And novels about special abilities are even more abundant on websites.

Stephen King, after combining the two, actually gave Wang Jian a brand-new reading experience.

"It feels like sitting in a warm coffee shop, watching people running in a blizzard outside."

"Looking at the scenery, it feels very cold. But upon closer observation, it feels even warmer."

He clicked the mouse, ready to continue watching.

"Shit!" Wang Jian cursed softly, "I’ve already read up to the latest Chapter!"

"Requesting updates!" Wang Jian’s fingers flew across the keyboard.

"Is this... Wang’s comment?"

"Haha, you have today too!"

"Wang, you finally understand our pain!"

"F*ck," he cursed softly, "I forgot to switch the Twitter account."

"Wang, check out Dan Brown’s ’Da Vinci’s Code,’ it’s also fantastic."

Da Vinci? Writing novels about an artist?

That’s very rare on websites...

Wang Jian thought about his own persona and then clicked the link.

"Let’s see what real artists are like in the eyes of an author."

But just the first Chapter alone left Wang Jian dumbfounded.

The protagonist, a symbol expert from Harvard University, was actually possessed by the Fallen Angel Lucifer.

"As an entity of equal standing beside Jehovah, I have always been skeptical about the true cause of Jesus’s death."

The protagonist endured intense pain and listened as the Fallen Angel in his mind said, "Now, an opportunity has presented itself to me."

"A member of the Xun Mountain Monastery, who knew the secret, suddenly died."

"If you want to survive, go investigate."

"Who is that member?" the protagonist asked loudly.

"He was a human, apparently the director of a museum called the Louvre," Lucifer’s voice was deep, "but that’s not important. What is important is the artifact he was in charge of."

"A piece by an artist called Da Vinci, which you call the ’Mona Lisa.’"

"Don’t worry, I will provide you with some power at the crucial moment."

"What?" Wang Jian looked at the name of the book, then at the content of the first Chapter.

Is this some kind of novel about superpowers?

But the plot that followed was even more shocking.

Members of the Xun Mountain Monastery, each one a significant figure.

To stop the protagonist from investigating further, they used various methods including bribery, seduction, and assassination.

But under the pressure of death, with Lucifer’s help and his solid knowledge, the protagonist was still gradually uncovering the mystery of Jesus’ death.

These plots left Wang Jian completely dumbfounded.

"Urban fantasy, an upgraded version of ’The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes’!"

"No," he looked at the computer and shook his head, "it’s more religious than Sherlock Holmes."

At that moment, a private Twitter message was sent to Wang Jian.

"Wang, Thank you for writing the ’novice writing guide.’"

"With it, I seem to understand better the difference between serial online publications and physical publications."

Wang Jian looked at the sender, who was none other than the bestselling author Dan Brown.

"Novice writing guide?"

His eyes fixed on ’Da Vinci’s Code’ and then thought about ’Mist.’

After a long time, he finally sighed deeply.

"These well-known bestselling authors in the United States are really...incredible!"

Suddenly, Wang Jian’s head began to spin.

Was that familiar feeling a sign of a new novel appearing?

He hurriedly looked towards the bookshelf in his mind.

This time, what appeared was not a single work, but many pamphlets.

"xxx Prodigal Son," "xxx God of Wealth," "xxx So Rich..."

"Damn, so many works." Wang Jian, delighted, opened the novel and excitedly muttered to himself, "This time, I can make more money!"

But moments later, Wang Jian almost wished he could rush to the bathroom to wash his eyes.

"Had I ever read this kind of novel before?"

If these novels had anything in common, it was that a huge pie fell from the sky.

Billionaires could only bow and cry in front of these protagonists.

Because these protagonists, the more money they spent, the wealthier they seemed to become!

As for the ways of spending money, they were also more or less the same.

Former friends who looked down on them, now that they had money, could only envy the protagonist.

In some more outrageous books, even the parents were written as being extremely greedy for money.

"These novels are different from ’Arcane,’ ’Extreme,’ and ’Anomalies.’" he compared in his mind, "Such type of novels have never appeared in Western literature."

"Not even a big category to classify them!"

Can these things make money?

Wang Jian thought for a long time and still shook his head.

The financial prospects were too unclear!

Moreover, just having seen bestselling authors like Stephen King and Dan Brown play with the "novice writing guide."

"Wouldn’t writing these be too embarrassing for myself?"

Wang Jian, looking at the newly appeared works in his mind, made a decision.

But soon, he went "Huh" in surprise.

Why in every novel, after getting rich, did they go and buy an Apple phone?

Is this Apple the same one that he knew?
