Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 10 This will be a dark horse.

"Brothers, has anyone been paying attention to that book, 'I Come From Billions of Light Years'?"

"I saw it. I heard that the category was strongly promoted last week and the number of favorites increased by 8000."

"Not only that, he was featured on the homepage's urban channel yesterday, guess how many more favorites he got?"

"How many?"

"2000."

"You mean, from when the recommendations were updated at 14 PM yesterday until now?"

"No, the recommendation was updated from 2 PM yesterday until midnight, which means it took 10 hours to gain 2000 favorites."

"My darling."

What does the data represent?
Data may be cold and impersonal.

But beneath the cold data lies the potential for a series of works.

The quality of a new book can be judged by how many bookmarks it gets during the recommendation period.

This is similar to how much box office revenue a movie can generate when it is released.

He can predict the market potential of a film based on almost every day's box office data.

The same applies to the online literature market.

When the data enthusiast "Xiao Chao" posted the collection data obtained from recommending various works in the same period on "SkyNet".

The previously discussed book, "I Come From Billions of Light Years Ago," has once again attracted everyone's attention.

"2000 favorites in 10 hours, if we multiply that by 5 based on the total weekly amount, does that mean he needs to gain 1 favorites this week?"

"Ah."

"My god, I think it's too much if I get 3000 new favorites in a week, but others get 1."

"Hey, didn't someone say this book might become a legendary book?"

"I don't know if it's going to be deified or not, but the number of collections it has is definitely making it a hit."

"Hmm, let's go take a look."

The greater the potential for collection, the more likely it is to attract the attention of others.

Needless to say, the readers.

Even the authors themselves flocked to learn from it.

Chen Yang didn't have much time to pay attention to the growth of the number of favorites in the background.

He still goes to the internet cafe every night to upload a chapter, and then goes home.

However, I haven't paid much attention to it.

But Chen Yang, who had written online novels for over a decade in his previous life, knew this.

His book, "I Come From Billions of Light Years," has garnered more than 1 favorites in just one week, and possibly even more.

As for the reason.

That is because the rankings are actually a place of competition.

Take past lives as an example.

In the past, various recommendation lists used intelligent recommendation.

He has some kind of math skills, like those on TikTok.

The better your book ranking is, the more aggressively the algorithm will recommend it to you.

Thus, the strong become the powerful.

Under such an algorithm, some new books can unleash terrifying potential.

However, in the PC era...

No such algorithm exists on any website.

Including the starting point.

The recommendation slots on Qidian (the online learning platform) group all the books together, allowing readers to make a relatively fair choice.

In here.

Better books might perform better.

However, even the improvements are relatively limited.

But this fairness only lasted for the first day.

Starting from the next day.

Some of his works will definitely stand out among all the recommended works.

……

It’s a new week again.

Editor Gu Yue started her new day at work.

Do the same as before.

After finishing the morning meeting, he first began reviewing a series of new books.

If he finds someone with potential, he submits a proposal.

Just don't know why.

These past few days, Gu Yue hasn't been particularly enthusiastic about reading any books.

The book "I Come From Billions of Light Years" always came to mind.

From time to time.

He would also compare this book with some of the plots of these new books, and even some of the old books.

The final comparison revealed something.

It's not just these new books that are inferior to this one.

Some old books are not as good as this one, "I Come from Billions of Light Years Away".

This caused Gu Yue to stop following the updates of her old book as well.

All done.

Gu Yue checked the collection data of "I Come from Billions of Light Years" in the background.

15,000.

Look at this data.

Even Gu Yue, who was used to seeing many hit products, was a little dumbfounded.

"Gu Yue, what's going on? Oh right, didn't you say last week that you recommended that book, 'I Come From Billions of Light Years'? How many people have added it to their favorites?"

"Can't you see it in the backend too?"

"Damn, you want me to check this again?"

"Why don't you check it out?"

“Okay, okay, I’ll check.” Another colleague checked.

Ok.

Like Gu Yue, he was also somewhat bewildered.

"12,000 favorites?"

"Correct."

"How many favorites did he have before he went on Twitter?"

"It seems to be 9000."

"3000 new favorites in one day?"

"Yes."

"Damn, don't scare me."

"I can hardly believe it myself."

"Did you swipe it?"

"If I had swiped it, I wouldn't be like this."

"I'll take a look."

Other editors also noticed the situation and began checking out the details of this work.

After a few minutes.

A group of colleagues said, "Congratulations, Gu Yue, you've got a bestseller."

"Today it only got 3000 favorites, and in a week it will get more than 1 favorites. By the time he pushes it down, it will have more than 2 favorites."

"Hehe, it seems that another promising author has emerged in the urban fiction genre."

All the editors were very excited.

The emergence of a bestselling book is also a testament to their achievements.

but.

Both the editors and their colleagues underestimated the potential of this book.

The next day.

Xiao Chao continued to work on the data from the same period's recommendations.

of course.

The focus was on the book he was staring at, "I Come From Billions of Light Years Ago".

The next day, the number of favorites for "I Come From Billions of Light Years" increased less, to only 2500.

On the third day, the number of favorites for "I Come from Billions of Light Years" also increased by about 2500.

Day ...

Or.

It's not even the fourth day yet.

Experienced authors have already left their comments.

"I want to say that 'I Come From Billions of Light Years' is about to explode."

"Yes, the data hasn't dropped much for several days in a row, this is the pattern of a hit product."

"Everyone, hurry up and start studying."

Online article recommendations are similar to those in the film market.

As time goes by, the popularity of collectibles and box office revenue generally tends to decline gradually.

But if you find out...

There's one work for which his various metrics haven't decreased much over time.

So, he is the one that creates a blockbuster product.

Fourth day.

Xiao Chao continued compiling the data.

This time.

Xiao Chao shouted excitedly.

"The number of collections for 'I Come From Billions of Light Years' has increased by over 3500 today."

"A reversal, this is a reversal."

The so-called "reverse decline".

That means, depending on market conditions, his data will continue to decline over time.

But instead of falling, it actually rose.

This is just like the movie Nezha 2 from the previous life.

You might think that Nezha 2's box office of 4 million yuan on its opening day might be its highest box office ever.

But you didn't expect that.

As time went on, the box office of Nezha 2 not only did not drop, but actually rose, even reaching 8 million yuan.

Can you imagine how much potential it holds?

Many online writers, including Xiao Chao, haven't done much research on things like movie box office figures.

The same principle applies to the online literature market.

"Holy crap, the number of favorites is still increasing on the fourth day. Ahhh... this book is going crazy."

"Honestly, I'm getting envious."

"Well, if we calculate it that way, this book will have over 15,000 favorites this week."

"No, it's possible it will break 2."

"Girl, I only get 2000 new favorites in a week on this recommendation page, while others get 2, which is 10 times my amount."

"This is no longer just a hit product; it's going to be a dark horse."

The authors on SkyNet were thrilled.

Although they didn't write this book.

but.

Seeing such incredible data, they were all incredibly excited.

I've been writing books for so long.

They had never seen a book perform so well during its initial release period.

Even some of the best books by established authors aren't this good.
