"I'm so bored. Before the holiday, I was looking forward to it, but now that it's here, I don't know what to do."
"That's right! Staying at home and playing on your phone will get you scolded, but going out for a stroll feels chilly, so nothing feels right."
"Alright, we don't need to go on blind dates yet. I'm already numb to seeing my brother go on so many blind dates."
My mom told him to just marry any woman, she doesn't care about much, as long as she knows how to use a smartphone!
"Just knowing how to use a smartphone is enough? Hahaha, that's way too low a requirement!"
"This is not a low requirement; it's a little higher than the requirement of 'knowing to run home when it rains.'"
...
"Old Liu, what are you doing, staring at your phone all the time?"
"That's right, we've been chatting here for so long, and you've been playing on your phone without saying a word."
You wouldn't... have gotten a girlfriend, would you? Holy crap, that's not fair of you, you promised to stay single together..."
"Hey, hurry up and tell me where you met your girlfriend? How far have things progressed? Do you want us to sponsor some balloons?"
“I can help with that. I’ll just steal a box from my brother-in-law. He has plenty anyway.”
...
As he spoke.
The group of people who had been chatting earlier quickly moved closer to a bespectacled young man who was engrossed in playing on his phone.
His companion's strange behavior made the bespectacled boy wave his hands in annoyance, saying:
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have a girlfriend at all, I'm just reading a novel!"
Upon hearing the explanation, the people who had gathered around simply did not believe it:
"Novels? What good novels are there these days? Even dogs wouldn't read them!"
"Yeah, I've basically read all the novels on those bestseller lists. You must be the same, still reading novels?"
"Exactly, exactly, I've been suffering from a reading slump for ages. Don't lie to us, you must have a girlfriend, otherwise..."
...
Seeing that he couldn't explain it clearly, the bespectacled boy had no choice but to show his phone and say:
"It's like reading a novel! Look, this one's called 'Battle Through the Heavens,' it's so exciting to read!"
A few boys nearby took a closer look.
They then shared their opinions on the novel, saying:
"Battle Through the Heavens? What a ridiculous name. This is obviously a flop novel."
"Yeah, it's such a common name that people ignore it at first glance. Who would actually click on it?"
And for a new writer to choose a four-character title? That's just too arrogant!
"That's right! Nowadays, novels usually start with the line, 'I'm an actor, so it's reasonable for me to know some kung fu, right?'"
Or it's something like, "We only let you play a sword immortal, we didn't actually make you an immortal!" The main selling point is the large number of words.
"Old Liu, I'm starting to question your sense of aesthetics, or are you just too hungry to eat anything?"
...
Seeing that his friends around him didn't believe him, the bespectacled boy rolled his eyes in annoyance and said:
"Believe it or not, this novel is incredibly enjoyable to write, and the comments below are all positive."
I'm sharing this with you now, so don't blame me for not sharing it when the novel becomes a hit.
"It's really beautiful?"
Seeing how persistent the bespectacled boy was, the people around him finally took it a little more seriously.
The bespectacled boy nodded solemnly and said:
"Of course! My aesthetic sense is absolutely correct. I even think that this 'Battle Through the Heavens' could become a legendary book!"
Several people around nodded, but then said:
"Alright, alright, we believe you, but what you're saying is a bit of an exaggeration."
Becoming a god with a single book? Becoming a god isn't that simple. First, get into the top ten of the monthly ticket rankings!
"That's right, it's really too difficult to become a god with a single book these days."
Even the top ten on the monthly ticket ranking are the exclusive domain of established authors, and newcomers simply cannot reach them.
It's incredibly difficult for newcomers to stand out; those who do are usually seasoned veterans disguised in disguise.
Especially considering that 'Battle Through the Heavens' chose the fantasy genre, a channel where newbies are destined to die, one can only say they're incredibly reckless.
"Yes, light novels and urban novels are more suitable for newcomers. Becoming a master is difficult, but making a living is easy."
"But a common problem among newcomers is that they think they can become a master with just one book. Being all talk and no action is a basic requirement."
"Haha, haha! Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh. When one's abilities cannot support one's ambitions, tragedy strikes."
After they fail a few more times, they'll know their own limitations. I, for one, don't believe a newcomer can become a legend overnight!
...
Although he kept complaining.
But these guys, bored out of their minds, all quietly took out their phones.
Start searching for 'Dou-Po Qingtian'.
Soon, they saw the novel's details page; author:
Young Master Xu!
Just like the first reaction of a normal reader after reading a novel, everyone starts by browsing the comments section.
Then they discovered that the bespectacled boy wasn't lying after all.
Because the comments section was filled with nothing but positive reviews:
"This is awesome! My God! Fortune changes every thirty years... never underestimate a young man's potential!"
"I feel like I'm witnessing the birth of a new genre: the annulment of engagement! I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story."
"The author is truly amazing, in no way inferior to those veteran masters, and I even think he surpasses them!"
"Please release it soon! I'll definitely subscribe to all of it when it's available. It's just what I'm looking for, a truly great article."
