Choose from the Past

"Brother Zhang, your book is not eye-catching enough." Wu Aiwen said to Zhang San straight to the point. Zhang San withdrew his gaze from the green mountains and said with a smile: "Because there are no diaosi counterattacks, son-in-law turning over, waste materials cultivating immortals, tomb robbing treasure hunting, time travel revenge?" "Yes, as long as there are no nouns such as corpses, ghosts, pregnancy, treasures, etc. In the first chapter, there are no verbs such as cutting, stabbing, flying, kissing, and touching, or there are no places such as palaces, brothels, deserted villages, and ancient tombs, basically no one cares about them. What's more, your novel is simply an 'interview record.' You are either talking in an office building, or in a coffee shop or bar..." "Please, this is a realistic workplace novel..." "Then you have to write about the little guy getting promoted, the beautiful woman grabbing an order, or the overbearing CEO falling in love with me." "Uh..." Zhang San moistened his throat and said, "These are basically not reality." "Okay, you can use one word to summarize the key points of this book." "Horror." This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
