Blurb:
After binding with a novelist System, Qiu Li accidentally enters a parallel world where everyone writes novels. She signs up for the livestream reality competition Novelists 101.
[Name]: Qiu Li (Lv. 1)
[Occupation]: Novelist
[Skills]: None
[System Evaluation: A lousy writer, 500 words per hour, average brain, nerves of steel, elementary-school writing skills. Writing won't save you. We recommend changing careers.]
Looking at the System's cold, ruthless evaluation, Qiu Li calmly activates the "Talent Skill" in her newbie gift pack.
[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained the Level 1 skill "Tentacle Speed." Your writing speed can reach 8,000 words per hour for five minutes. (Can be upgraded.)]
And so Qiu Li, branded with the recommendation to change careers, steps onto the set of the livestream show Novelists 101, where she unsurprisingly gets assigned the sacrificial lamb role in the designated loser comparison group.
Qiu Li remains expressionless, murderous intent in her eyes.
Sure, my prose is bad, my plots are a mess, my romances are toxic, and my characters are a disaster.
But whatever. I can write ten thousand words a day.
Because every time I finish a book, I get a random new skill.
Her first book flops across the board.
System evaluation: We recommend changing careers.
Reader evaluation: We recommend dropping out.
Faced with a flood of bad reviews, Qiu Li remains unmoved. With nerves of steel, she works hard, updates thirty thousand words a day, and rapidly maxes out her skill.
Then she kills off a character.
Later
[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained the Level 1 skill "Character Doll."]
Qiu Li: Great. I'll create an adorable heroine so readers will love her, then kill her off.
[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained the Level 1 skill "CP Blind Box."]
Qiu Li: Great. I'll write a couple, craft a beautiful romance that makes readers swoon, then kill off both leads.
[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained the Level 1 skill "Cliffhanger Hook."]
Qiu Li: Great. I'll end a chapter just as the protagonist is about to die, leaving readers to suffer through the wait.
Later still
The livestream audience, who've been getting emotionally wrecked for ages, go mad and turn dark.

That night, countless unsolicited recommendations appear on all the major forums.
[The heroine in this book is so adorable! Reading it feels like raising a sweet little daughter!]
[The CP in this book is so sweet! Their feelings are so intense, they make your heart flutter. Another day of crying over a beautiful romance!]
[This author really knows how to end chapters on a hook. I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious, my heart's about to stop!]
Everyone else on the forums: Hah, what a pathetic shill! Let's see which trash author is promoting themselves!
"..."
After reading the book, they clutch their hearts, become shills through their tears, and quietly make a post of their own.
[An unparalleled sweet-romance author, Qiu Li Tang! Invest now, no regrets!]
She kept updating, and made her debut.
She kept updating, and became a legend.
