Chapter 409

There was actually a method to determine the extent of a character card's popularity . The aforementioned quality would be directly proportional to the duration of a character card's tenure . A character that remained highly popular for a lengthy period only attested for its own popularity . Some highly popular characters were only one step from iconic status . What little they lacked in that aspect - all fell down to the most minute of details from their creators .

"Yu Shengfan" had been an unplanned accident . Zhao Youyue's premature exit broke something in Rosemary . He could not bear destroying Yu Shengfan's entire image, and was ardent on solidifying her status as an icon . Thus, he killed her off, cementing her fate in fiction and reality .

Yu Shengfan would remain germane over the next decade . That duration told much about her popularity . . .

 "Hua Xiaomao" in "Dog Days" was nowhere close to that realm . She only had six months of fame, at most . With time as a unit of measurement, one could tell how much of a gap lay between her and Yu Shengfan . The former could not even be compared to "Zhou Chun" in "The 4WD G.o.d . ""The 4WD G.o.d" had been written upon a well-thought-out, solid foundation by a hand that carried years of experience, while "Dog Days" was the main piece of a newbie writer's debut .

Zhao Youyue had propelled "Dog Days" to possibly undeserved heights using her influence . She was now its "Silver Sect Master . " Her real-world efforts had been more effective than anything else she had mustered in the literary world .

This was by no means her fault . She did not, or rather, could not place much effort into the settings of the character "Hua Xiaomao . " The character made little sense to her . "Dog Days" never had the makings of anything promising . Its writer, Sun Xian was mediocre at best . He had a long way to go before falling under the genius writer category . Moreover, he had been writing this story at a rather leisurely pace . Therefore, Zhao Youyue had to ensure that the character remained consistent to Sun Xian's style . Otherwise, the entire story would be thrown off its axis .

Zhao Youyue was satisfied to walk out with a highly popular character card . The usefulness of its ability notwithstanding, it still served her for the greater good when the time came to stepping into a new literary world at her discretion . Its sacrifice just might open new paths to the creation of new iconic cards…

Highly popular cards; they played their roles well enough . What else could she use them for? Act cutely?

After Zhao Youyue made her early exit, the writer Sun Xian had been left dumbfounded . When he saw that Lady Zhao was one of his "Silver Sect Master's," he grew giddy with excitement, and released a public declaration stating that he would up the ante of his updates frequency to live up to such high expectations . He hoped that he had everyone's support!

Sun Xian had been on cloud nine at that moment . Everytime he wrote about "Hua Xiaomao," his writing became fluid and masterful, as if he had flipped on an illegal a.s.sistance program somewhere . At that rate, he had no need to concern himself over the high upgrade volume…

Therefore, he made such a promise with great confidence . It happened overnight . The a.s.sistance program vanished into thin air . "Hua Xiaomao" came at great, una.s.sisted difficulty!

The readers had complimented on her past scenes on its bittersweet cuteness and endlessly fresh dynamics . His abrupt loss of ability to maintain such quality struck him hard .

He was no Rosemary . He had no desire or will to shape "Hua Xiaomao" up into an iconic character . He simply lacked the a.s.sertiveness and ambition to go that extra mile . Whenever that "intoxicated" sensation took hold of his senses, it had never once occurred to him that he could take it as a learning opportunity and further improve the quality of his work . He hitched a ride on the current and allowed the tide to take the wheel…

In a manner of speaking, everything that he had produced came solely from Zhao Youyue . This particular cultivation of a high popularity character card had been an equivalent exchange . Without Zhao Youyue, his "Dog Days" would have never even saw the light of recognition . Her departure led to an immediate downfall .

He lacked the talent and the ingenuity, but possessed all the ego and arrogance that the world could take . How did he even find fame?

Sun Xian certainly did not consider himself to have commited anything inappropriate, as he had never considered himself as a professional writer . Even so, wouldn't the greenest of writers claim the opportunity for fame when it presented itself?

Therefore, some people might consider Zhao Youyue's early departure to have been insincere . She had cheated Sun Xian of his glory . It was a heartless act . One would only have such thoughts if they do not turn back the pages to the source of it all . Without Zhao Youyue, how could Sun Xian earn fame at all? At most, he would only be somewhat reputable .

This was an era where people cared for nothing but entertainment value . Even those who had spilled blood, sweat and tears to produce work to the best of their abilities often wondered if it was not enough for that fame they sought . One had to either be a genius, or endowed with nothing but raw talent, to gain fame without a semblance of effort . Fame was theirs to take, but it was not free .

At this rate, Sun Xian would simply fall back to his old ways, resigned to the loss of this 'intoxication . ' He was nothing like Rosemary . That man fell into depression and grief when his 'intoxication' abandoned him, feeling as if he had fallen from the good graces of the G.o.ddess of Literature .

The laidback and run-of-the-mill Sun Xian took everything in stride with a shrug . He went back to his casual ways, his old leisurely self . The protagonist dog and supporting female president reclaimed the spotlight . Readers inadvertently left, as they were only there to read about "Mao Mao . " Although "Mao Mao" remained as a recurring character, she had already lost her essence . She no longer felt the same .

Undoubtedly, her descent had just only begun . It would not take long before she gets forgotten…

Sun Xian actually felt sorry for the Lady Zhao, who was his number one fan . After all, he had promised to amp up his updates for her sake . Clearly, he had failed to live up to his words . However, Zhao Youyue only graciously told him not to abandon the novel .

Lady Zhao was far too considerate . He did not expect such a perfect reader to exist in this world . Why were the other readers so fierce? They might just as well call for the heads of his entire family . What's wrong with his slow updates? He was not pursuing the path of a greater G.o.d .

Great effort may not necessarily lead to success, but the lack of effort definitely leads to a blissful life . Those words were practically Sun Xian's mantra!

Of course, Zhao Youyue only forgave Sun Xian because she had already achieved her goal . In terms of reading material, she had many more in her waiting list . Many excellent web novelists put lots of effort into updating their series . She could always opt for better, faster releases .

The money she put into sensationalizing his t.i.tle was considered nothing more than food for dogs, and investments for high popularity cards .

She had better things to figure out now, such as what would happen if she activated "Hua Xiaomao's card" in reality .
