New World of Web Novel
To Zhao Youyue, the worlds of works that she could enter through the “Two Dinsional Gate” were a lot more interesting, compared to the real world. Those worlds always allowed her to experience different, unearthly landscapes. For example, during the last ti when she transmigrated as “Altair,” she had experienced several different worlds. Unfortunately, the “Altair card” was currently still in a fragnted state. She did not know when she would be able to obtain such a profoundly mysterious character card.
On other days, the unpredictable randomness of the “Two Dinsional Gate” really rendered Zhao Youyue speechless. It was like a trap.
Ti passed quickly, and night fell. Zhao Youyue took a shower. She did not let her mind wander off to the possibilities of her new world. Every ti she developed a desire or preference of her own, the randomness of the “Two Dinsional Gate” would ss with her, and shatter all her dreams
For example, she had wanted an “empress card” since a lifeti ago. Now that she had sowhat established a small publishing company, and was also the director of the company, strong leadership skills would really co in handy, leading to an accelerated expansion of the company. When this happens, more outstanding creators could be recruited, and she would then be able to enter any kind of world as she wished.
Other than the empress card, there was also the “godly chef card” that she had wanted for quite a long ti. She truly wanted to create “light-emitting cuisines” in the real world. However, there was not even a single, popular cooking-related work on the market right now. If there was no way to get a “sleeping victory,” there was no aning in transmigrating into a piece of work.
Additionally, there were also other types of cards like the “carefree card,” which allowed the user to relax and enjoy life. However, all of these were actually a matter of fate. Zhao Youyue did not dare dream of obtaining them. She could not.
Of course, what Zhao Youyue wanted most was a character card that possessed a higher energy level. She was curious to know if she could use superpowers in reality. If she could, then, of course, she hoped to amass even more power.
At that mont, Zhao Youyue finally closed her eyes. She skillfully ventured to the “Two Dinsional Gate” with her soul. She looked at the four active character cards in the “Two Dinsional Gate” —- —- Xu Jing, Yu Shengfan, Chu Luoxun, and Wen Qingyu. They bestowed upon her a sense of accomplishnt...
Although these characters were essentially her other selves, she still loved them deeply and regarded them as her own wives, because they would never be separated from her.
Spiritually, they were one.
Zhao Youyue walked past them and finally entered the “Two Dinsional Gate.” She had waited for a very long ti to do this. Then, she saw a random world appear, and the na of the work was “Dog Days[1]”...
Just by looking at the na, Zhao Youyue knew that it certainly could not be popular, or she would have already seen it, considering her current reading volu. After all, in the general introduction of the work, the words “web novel” were stated.
Web novels were Zhao Youyue’s main battlefield. As “Tycoon Youyue,” she was still active in the Qidian novel website, as she frequently tipped her favorite works. At the sa ti, she had also gotten to know many other well-known web novelists.
Web novelists were a lot more approachable than traditional writers. Basically, all that had to be done was just to beco a Sect Master, look for the author and add them as a friend. Strike up a conversation after that, and you might have already beco good friends with the author.
As Zhao Youyue was a notable tycoon on Qidian and was also a very attractive young lady, such an identity allowed her to get in touch with any male author easily. It was profitable for the authors, anyway. She was basically the perfect reader in the eyes of all creators...
If Zhao Youyue also started a book on Qidian, maybe those great authors would, out of friendship, reward her and beco Sect Masters to show her so support. She could even casually reward herself with a variety of recomndation ticket red packets and monthly ticket red packets to boost the ranking of her book significantly. This was the advantage of being a tycoon creator. As lowly as it seed, it was a thod that fell in line with the rules. Since its dawn, the novel rankings on Qidian were determined not by the readers, but by capital.
So far, Zhao Youyue had only transmigrated into one web novel, called “The Strongest King.” It was a niche e-Sports novel, but Rosemary and herself had walked hand-in-hand and tore the fabric of its world to bits. Thus, the iconic character “Yu Shengfan” was created. That was understandably, a rare occurrence.
This ti, however, the mont Zhao Youyue saw the na “Dog Days,” she could not help but compare it to “The Strongest King.” It paled in comparison to it, and was dwarfed in all aspects.
Then, she looked at the creator’s pseudonym. It was called “Stop Gambling.” Did this author have a gambling addiction?
Zhao Youyue did not have a good feeling about this. If the creator was addicted to gambling, then it would really be a big problem, especially if it was mahjong. Mahjong was the mortal enemy of creators!
Innurable creators have said that they were rely seeking a form of inspiration, but ended up falling into the abyss of gambling...
Zhao Youyue briefly read through the introduction of “Dog Days.” As expected, it really had the undertones of a web novel. It was a relaxing, warm slice of life novel. The style was similar to a novel in another world called “Back in Ti When I was a Cat.”
“Dog Days” contained superpowers, but it was not the kind of destructive superpower. It was probably on the sa level as Wen Qingyu’s ability to “eat books.”
The male protagonist Shu Qing was a cat lover, and he was terrified of dogs. However, he had unexpectedly obtained the ability to swap bodies with a dog. At first, he could not understand why he beca a dog. Then, of course, there was a variety of funny scenes which developed the story. After all, when he swapped bodies with a dog, his own body beca occupied by the dog’s soul. Thus, when a dog was in the body of a human being, all sorts of mayhem and mischief would occur...
When he was in possession of the dog’s body, however, he beca a dog with a particularly high IQ, in the eyes of ordinary people. Then, he discovered that the dog who swapped bodies with him turned out to be the dog of a company’s female director.
Needless to say, this brought out the distinct feature of web novels. The setting of a female director like her was almost a standard configuration as a romantic interest in web novels. It was just like the overbearing director who often appeared in web novels which were more catered towards girls. Here, however, it seed that both male and female readers would find this director’s identity to be attractive.
Zhao Youyue surfed through the pages at speed. From there, she learned that the story was about an ordinary man who had been able to reach the peak of his life through a variety of weird accomplishnts after he obtained the ability to swap bodies with dogs.
Due to the vulgar settings of the female director, Zhao Youyue did not really have a good first impression of the web novel. She had the feeling that it might be one of those wretched web novels. For example, the male protagonist would use the body of a dog to take advantage of girls and things like that. Male readers would surely take joy in that.
However, Zhao Youyue was not quick to conclude matters. Instead, she left the gate for now. She was prepared to read through this web novel, first.
She found the novel on Qidian rather swiftly, and realized that it only had a few hundred thousand words. It was not even on sale, yet. However, the number of recomndation tickets had already reached 100,000. This showed that it was fairly popular, and many fans were gathered here. Why had this novel escaped her notice, prior to this?
She looked at the latest activity, which turned out to be fifteen days ago!
Was this novel already abandoned?
Then, she looked at the update log of this novel, only to discover that the fastest “Stop Gambling” had ever updated his web novel was one chapter every three days...
It was no wonder that she had not heard of this web novel before. Judging by how slow the updates were, how could it possibly shine? The editors would never recomnd such a novel. The most important thing about web novels were the update frequencies!
Moreover, he was a novice author. This was his only novel ever!
Whenever a new author casually updates his new web novel at leisure, it ant certain death for him!
Translation Note:
[1] This is not the sa Dog Days as the Ani about Antromorphized dogs and cats fighting in Dynasty Warrior-esque battle royales (I wasn’t a fan of it, by the way). Just giving readers a heads-up.
