Chapter 85: Nap
Wednesday, October 1st, the day when gods and immortals fought.
With the novels of many big shots going premium, the various authors’ group chats were abuzz with discussion.
On typical Fridays, there wasn’t as much excitement since it was rare for any hit books to go premium.
However, on days like the first of July and August during summer vacation, National Day on October 1st, and the first of January and February during winter vacation, it was almost guaranteed for a few blockbuster books to go premium.
Normally, a new novel would only receive six or seven recommendations in the first two months of being released. Ordinary authors could only expect their novels to reach around 40,000 to 50,000 reading lists and 3,000 to 6,000 initial subscriptions.
However, for veteran authors with subscription numbers in the tens of thousands, the new novel period was a completely different ballgame.
With the backing of a large and loyal reader base, they could secure premium recommendation spots like splash screen promotions or top banners with just tens of thousands of words.
By the time their novels went premium at around 100,000 to 200,000 words, they might already have a following of hundreds of thousands.
For authors with sky-high popularity like Octopus Girl, Pig Feet, and Eagle Boy, their novels could easily attract hundreds of thousands of subscriptions when they went premium.
