It sound like generic Manwha titles

Yup, you heard that right, I am here to tell you how to make the BEST web novel ever, no tricks, no scams.
I'm going to tell you how to make art for the novels AND how to write your novel.
Trust me, this is the best advice ever.

This will guarantee you in the top 10 in the leaderboards or whatever the freaking system is here.

You might just beat LOTM, RI, SS, ORV, and all the MID web novels out here, so read and analyze.

1. Art
Now you're trying to write a serious story, but to do that, you need to draw in readers. How? Covers of course.
Now how do you obtain a good cover.
Most would say use Canvas or pay an artist to make your cover, but I'm telling you, that only gets people not to click on your books.
It's literally reader repellent.
So how do you get readers?
AI Art!
First, get an AI Book Cover generator and make yourself a good a$$ cover. Set up the negative prompts correctly, make the most detailed prompt you can, run it through, RES it to the max, double the resolution, then of course, 40 steps, run it overnight, because you need that cover to be crispy!
Wake up, the very next day, you got yourself a good a$$ cover.
Photoshop, Photopia, whatever you got, get some crazy cartoony font with a bit of inner shadow and you got yourself a good a$$ cover!
Once you got this, you're in the big leagues now.

2. Title
Make sure the title is absolute crazy and stupid:
- SSS Rank, 100% Extraction Lord I dominate the World
- SSS Rank, Harem Overlord
- Mythical Rank Trait, I Obtain the Universe
- Global Transmigration, I Gain the SSS Rank Devouring Skill

Crazy Font, Poppy Title, AI Art to the ultimate level, you're guaranteed some clicks.

3. Writing
There are many ways you should write isekai. Remember, Isekai sells for a reason.
- Make him die to a mysterious illness
- Make him drink his sorrows away and fall off a bridge or jump in front of a truck
- Make him jerk off in the bathroom and die from a heart attack because he was gooning too much until the morning
- Make him a renowned scientist who cured cancer and all the world diseased, but he hated his life because he wanted to smash barely illegal teenagers and goon, then hating his daughter and wife.
Make sure his life was Hot A$$ before transmigration or it was good, but he's a nihilist.
And make sure the MC is a self-insert. If he's not the blandest, you're making a poorly written character.
4. System
Give him the craziest skill you can imagine, making him utterly invincible, no challenges (if you add conflict and challenges, that's bad writing)
5. Other Stuff
- Harems with the flattest personalities and the biggest boobs you can imagine
- Sex sells, R18
- Slow pacing just to show off the harem for fan service (The plot does not matter) or such fast pacing, becoming literal God in 60 chapters

There is a difference between writing fiction to build an imaginary world (art) and writing fiction to build popularity.

This is an entertaining rant. You know, you could write a novel on this too.

 

[PancakesWitch]

This is probably a joke, but, I'd rather have my book get zeroes across the board than write something like this. It just sounds boring to write and read.

Yeah people that write shit like this are desperate for money.
Speaking from experience and what I've seen on Webnovel, these stories may or may not get popular, and when they do, they usually fall off after like half a year or at most a year before the author drops it and starts a similar novel over again.
Then after a few years the author has like 15+ uncompleted novels and a new ongoing lmao

It sound like generic Manwha titles

korean authors mastered this art years ago lol

 

[HungrySheep]

I thought LotM was actually gonna be a mystery novel because it was glazed so hard but then they gave me some transmigration cultivation The Eminence in Cringe slop.

 

[JordanIda]

Oh dear.

 

[DireBadger]

There's a fine line between breaking tropes and mocking tropes.

 

[SwordSong]

about a sentient writing AI being tasked to scrape data from a web serial novel site getting sick of all the crap it's forced to train on?

Oh, noes! It took my MC 78 chapters to become a Literal Deity!
I am shame!
I am fail!
*dies*

 

[JayDirex]

even the 4 super popular stories you listed as examples don't do a single of the things you said
and everyone is agreeing "waow hahahaha so true"
is this cope in action

he didn't say they "did" anything, He just listed them as popular and said you if you follow his formula you will beat them.

Out of everything you've put down here...
The only thing that really rings true is the comment that "sex sells".
The rest, well, it doesn't really work as remotely solid advice.

Great way to limit / hinder the potential competition though.

 

[L1aei]

Back in 2017 or 2018, during the Great Translation Wars, I remember another satire that went full throttle on Qidian and even had a shit ton of folks there feeding it power stones and five-star reviews to get it up to trending as #1. The satire was genuinely mocking Qidian for a good while until the admins finally caught on and scrubbed it. I think the title was something like "Qidian is the Best Platform in the Universe" or something like that, openly complimenting the slave contracts, those high price walls, the number of DMCA takedowns on fan translations on anything Wuxia, and more.

That's what this thread sort of reminds me of, but it isn't exactly a satire of the platform but more on mocking the trending algorithm here.

I'll write some nonsense like this one day purely for the experience

Edit: Maybe on an alt. I could churn out 4000 words a day of this bullshit

You can have my complex plot, subtextual slow-burn romance-adjacent arc when you foreshadow prying it from my cold, dead, layered-symbol hands 200 pages ago with a side of Deez ex machinas.

I know RI is likely "reverend Insanity". MLA is always "Max Level Archmage".
