With the recent conversations we’ve been having, I wanted to share this quote from the chink novel 'Damn Idol' that relates to it.
Also sorry for phoneposting
>Without a backstory, it was hard to become killer content.
>Yet despite that, the steady interest meant the song had strong musical power.
>Consider the legendary Britpop-era band Radiohead.
>Their signature song, Creep.
>Everyone knows Creep, but few know how it became successful.
>At the time of its release, Creep was heavily criticized for being too gloomy.
>The magazine NME wrote negative articles, and BBC Radio 1 blacklisted it for having a bad influence on listeners.
>Unlike Korea’s TV-centric music industry, the Western market relies heavily on radio airplay.
>So being blacklisted essentially meant a song was dead.
>But as mentioned earlier, good music has power.
>It started when an influential Israeli DJ, Yoav Kutner, fell in love with Creep.
>He played it endlessly on his radio show, despite receiving complaints from listeners annoyed by the depressing song.
>But the situation flipped in an instant.
>Because the song was good.
>Creep gained popularity in Israel, was then imported to the U.S., and finally re-imported to the U.K.
>In this case, the pure power of music created its own story.
>Of course, comparing the 1990s to now isn’t quite fair.
>These days, hundreds of songs flood the market daily, and stimulating content overflows on YouTube and streaming platforms.
So, fellow /wangers/, do you believe a 'good book' has 'power'? AKA Do you believe that the literature industry (specifically the webnovel one) is like/similar to the music industry? If you believe this and you think you have a "good book" it won't matter if the cabal of discord trannies are releasing 300 novels of slop at once, your novel will still get famous. Since it is a good book, and good books have power.
