Versailles Tricolor: I'm jealous of you guys, all hyped up—me, I'm just lying flat now. No recs next week.
I Wanna Be a God: What recs do you even need, master? You've already got a standout book, over 3000 daily subs, pulling in seven or eight grand a month! Mad enviable.
Versailles Tricolor: I'm not feeling the writing vibe—what's a few bucks gonna do? Thinking of quitting. I envy you young bloods with ambition, while I'm just a dead fish here. No recs, though my income's not just seven or eight grand—last month, with full attendance bonus and channel fees, I hit eleven thousand.
Little Rookie: Tricolor Giant! I wanna follow you! I admire you so damn much!
Female Star Transformation: Tricolor Giant, gimme a chapter rec! Tricolor God! Have mercy on this little flop.
My Dream Is Licking the Greats: Tricolor God, eternal deity! I bow to you! Over ten grand a month! You're gonna be a god soon!
Watching a bunch of ass-kissers slobber over Versailles Tricolor, Li Bin couldn't help but shake his head. These clowns, throwing away all dignity for a worthless rec.
Li Bin knew this dude. Versailles Tricolor was a newer author in the group—his first book got sweet recs and decent results, hitting over two thousand subs on launch day. Back then, the guy strutted around the group like a prick, always flexing, annoying as hell.
But credit where it's due—he had some chops.
In the author group, subs are king.
High subs? Even your dumbest shit sounds like gospel.
But if a loser pisses off a big shot, they're instantly swarmed by a pack of minions.
Mengmeng: Big shots, quick question—my book dropped two days ago, only 500 daily subs. Worth keeping up? Should I ditch it?
Right then, a newbie in the group piped up.
Versailles Tricolor: Just 500 daily subs? How many first-day subs? How many favorites?
My Dream Is Licking the Greats: That's weak—500 daily subs, I'd guess two or three grand a month. I'd ditch it.
Mengmeng: My book didn't make the second visual promo cut, went live bare till 200,000 words. Now I've got over 4000 favorites, first day was just 480 subs in 24 hours.
Versailles Tricolor: Your numbers are straight trash—what're you even writing for? When I started, I had 2000 subs and nearly quit. If my editor hadn't pushed me, I'd be gone. With shitty results like that, what's the point? Stop wasting time.
200-Sub Flop: Don't ask—just ditch it.
Seeing Versailles Tricolor, some lucky bastard who'd only written one book and landed in the standout category, mock and shit on newbies, discouraging them from writing, Li Bin couldn't take it anymore.
With over 4000 favorites and 500 daily subs, Mengmeng's book wasn't just decent—it was solid as hell.
If they kept going, they'd hit standout for sure.
Li Bin, who started with just 250 subs on his first day and thought about quitting, got propped up by loyal readers. He stuck it out, and by 500,000 words, his daily subs shot past 3000, landing him in standout.
So with his experience, Li Bin knew Mengmeng had juice.
Li Bin hesitated for a sec but couldn't hold back and typed:
Human Nature Is Evil: @Mengmeng, your sub-to-favorite ratio is killer—you've got every shot at standout. Keep writing! One rec, and you're off. Don't give up!
Human Nature Is Evil was Li Bin's pen name.
Little Rookie: What???? With those subs, you think they can hit standout? You think it's that easy?
Versailles Tricolor: You don't know shit and you're giving advice? Little rookie, don't mislead people. Standout? You're dreaming. Think it's a cakewalk? I had over 2000 subs and it took me two months to hit standout.
Harem Emperor: Look who it is—the guy who got three starts killed in a row by Big Penguin, couldn't even sign a contract. Human Nature Is Evil, and now you're schooling a published author? If Tricolor says it's trash, who the hell are you?
Group Newbie: Ha! Three flops in a row... impressive! Can't even sign a contract?
Fish King: Worry about signing a damn contract before you open your mouth—what cred do you have to give advice?
Leftover Soup: Wait, if he can't sign a contract, how's he in our signed authors' group? Kick him out, he's an eyesore.
Mengmeng: Can't even sign a contract? I thought he was some big shot... interesting...
