Have you dreamed of making a fortune from what you love? Have you imagined your story gets spread worldwide?
Global promotion! Over $10K a month! Personal interview! Derivative distribution! They are not daydreams but the reality on Stary!
We’ve seen so many examples of success. Don’t you want to be one of them?
Nowadays, web fiction has become a strong trend. Authors are not writing alone. Readers’ real-time support and feedback are the best fuel for authors in the process.
A good web fiction author should be both a good storyteller and a market detector. What genres are trending in the current market? What concepts should I notice? How to design the plots to get readers excited?
All these doubts will be answered on this channel. A bunch of Ringdom-featured novel writing tips are waiting for you!
Today, we are going to talk about the genres we are focusing on.
First of all, what is Ringdom?
Both Dreame and Ringdom are subsidiaries of Stary. Dreame has been a great success in romance novel distribution, showing how heart-touching romantic love can be. While Ringdom is devoted to the development of adventure novels that are high-concept and fast-paced.
Instead of romance, stories on Ringdom are more about the power pursuit of the main character (MC). Personal growth within thrilling challenges and fights should be the mainstream.
Here are some genres we are mainly looking for~
FANTASY
Most fantasy novels are developed with surreal elements, such as magic, monsters, and the undead, contributing to a hero’s journey. The MC was an ordinary person, but he* grows stronger and stronger through endless efforts, eventually becoming powerful and immortal. In a word, make the impossible possible.
*He/him/his as a gender-neutral pronoun, the MC can either be a male or female.
The Hobbit and Harry Potter are two typical fantasy novels that are famous to all. Unbelievable magic, thrilling fights, tough challenges, and epic missions…all the compelling plots and settings drag readers into the authors’ wild imagination.
Here is one example under Fantasy genre on Ringdom:
The Fiend’s Creation System (FCS)
The MC is the promising prince who is supposed to have a bright future. But his royal family gets betrayed and slaughtered, and our MC is on the run.
After activating a creation system, the prince took his chance to avenge his family’s tragedy. Unlike many others, FCS refreshed the idea of “System” by structuring it as “Collective Consciousness,” which is learned from Zerg in Starcraft.
We have seen many stories telling the MC levels up in another world and eventually becomes the strongest mage or cultivator, but it’s fresh to see the MC leading swarm marching to bring Apocalypse to the magic land.
For freshers to this genre, here is a prompt to start:
[I’ve been an ordinary person for my whole life. One day I died in an accident, but then I find myself waking up in a new world! I have so many doubts in mind but no time to think. A lot of dragons are approaching! Before all the unknown craps I am going to encounter, I have to survive! ]
GAME
For people who are fans of online games, this genre should not be unfamiliar. Just like you fight with your avatar online, the MC also creates his game legend. From video games, E-sports to VRMMORPG, you can realize all your dreams about the game adventure here.
Given the game setting, all the progression the MC makes can be shown in a clear and systematic way, making it easier for readers to follow which level the MC reaches.
When manipulating our avatars, we always dream of killing the games. Why not make our MC realize it? The MC may open a rare treasure chest, obtain the best weapon, contract the strongest companion animal, or receive a legendary quest. Also, the MC could learn insane skills through different trials, which empower him to fight enemy siege and beat them back.
Here is one example under Game genre on Ringdom:
Eternal Empire Online: The Rise of the Mythical Detective
To save his sister and fight against his father, the MC steps into the VR game sweeping the world, Eternal Empire. He keeps leveling up and shows his strong leadership within the fights. With playing goes, his empires in both real life and the game world are gradually established. However, Eternal Empire is not just a game. The supernatural power in it can affect reality as well! What conspiracy is behind it? Where will the MC be ahead? All the mysteries are waiting for readers to unfold.
This novel uses the feature of VR games, presenting a systematic weak-to-strong path of the MC. Many fantasy elements are also introduced, which shows a natural combination of real life and isekai adventure.
PS: The typesetting of this work is great, which makes the story read smooth on screen. This aspect is normally ignored by authors but is actually very important. If the content is structured messy, many readers will directly quit the page no matter how interesting the story is.
For freshers to this genre, here is a prompt to start:
[I accidentally reincarnate in years back when my favorite game was just released. With my future knowledge and skilled techniques, I obtain the fiercest weapons and unlock a hidden profession, enabling me to learn many rare skills along the adventure. Now I take an epic-level quest, in which unexpected danger and incredible rewards are waiting.]
