Cairo Gaming System

Chapter 238 Chance to Improve Popularity

Based on the comic's sales, platform, search traffic, evaluation, number of discussions and other indicators, combined with U17's internal professional analysis system, a numerical value is generated, which is the heat value.

The editor of the U17 website will rank the top 20 comics based on their popularity, and hang them on the homepage of the website to form a comics hot list.

Many comic readers will look for new comics based on the comic hot list, so this list is equivalent to a very powerful advertisement.

Slam Dunk was the hottest ranking in the first week of serialization, and "Slam Dunk" was naturally missed.

However, Tianniu told Li Ze before that if "Slam Dunk" maintains its current status, it is very likely to enter the hot list.

Therefore, after the second submission, Li Ze began to pay attention to the popularity rankings.

On the second day of the second submission, "Slam Dunk" was nowhere on the list.

But on the third day of the second submission, it appeared!
"Slam Dunk" appears on the hot list!

Temporary ranking, No. 18!
Li Ze told Xiao Xiami the news that "Slam Dunk" entered the list.In the end, everyone's performance was even more exaggerated than Li Ze imagined. It was almost like setting fire to the bathroom to celebrate!
"Hahaha! Boss, U17's manga ranking! I didn't expect it! Our little Xiami will be able to enter the ranking one day!"

And Brother Xia couldn't help but said: "I once made a wish to the shooting star, that before the white season came, I could make my paintbrush appear on the U17 website rankings. Now, the gods in the starry sky have responded to my prayer." I wish, thank you..."

The brothers were all very excited, but Li Ze remained basically calm.

Although Li Ze was quite happy to see "Slam Dunk" enter the list, but Li Ze still felt a little regretful.

"No. 18... I thought that with the high praise rate of "Slam Dunk", I could break into the top three."

But in fact, although "Slam Dunk" reached the 18th place in the first week of the list, there is still a big gap in popularity compared to the previous 17th place.

As for the comparison with the top three popular works?

That's a difference of one hundred and eight thousand miles to the power of 72!

The top three comics are all old comics that have been serialized for a while, and have cultivated a long-term and large fan base, plus the platform advantage of being a big magazine.

In terms of heat value, "Slam Dunk" is almost completely unable to compete with its opponents.

Just based on the current popularity of "Slam Dunk", wanting to reach the top three on the hot list is more impossible than an idiot's dream!
……

Regardless, being on the list is a cause for celebration.

Then, Li Ze received a call from Tianniu, and when he connected the phone, Tianniu's excited voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Mr. Li! Congratulations! Congratulations! "Slam Dunk" under Xiaoxiami has successfully entered the U17 Comics Hot Rankings! Congratulations!"

Li Ze said calmly: "Although it is a happy thing to be on the list, I am not very satisfied with the ranking of "Slam Dunk". The 18th place does not meet the value of "Slam Dunk" at all! But "Slam Dunk" The heat gap between "Slam Dunk" and the previous works is really too big."

Tian Niu laughed and said: "Haha, Mr. Li, take it one step at a time, take your time! "Slam Dunk" is still a new work, so it has reached the list so quickly, it is already very remarkable."

"You know, most of the previous comics are old comics that have accumulated a certain number of fans, plus they are on a platform like a big magazine, and their popularity must have an advantage over us!"

"What's more, the U17 comics popularity list is already very impressive. If it's on the list like this, I don't know how many fans it will attract at the end of the day!"

"To be honest with Mr. Li, this is the first time that our Little Xiami has entered the hot list! It is really worth commemorating! A small magazine like ours can make comic works enter the hot list on the basis of this kind of circulation. It's hard to come by!"

"If it were in a big comic magazine, I'm afraid "Slam Dunk" would already be number one!"

Realizing that something was wrong with his words, Tian Niu quickly added a sentence, saying: "Uh, Mr. Li, don't worry! Although we in Iwate are just a small magazine for the time being, we will rise in the future!"

After listening to Tian Niu's "rhetoric words", Li Ze just smiled and didn't speak.

In the next two weeks, "Slam Dunk" continued to maintain its dark horse character, and it has always been on the hot list of comics.

"Slam Dunk", whether in terms of popularity or praise, has reached the best score in the history of Iwate Bookstore.

If you click on the "Slam Dunk" section of U17, you can see that there are all people urging for updates.

"Oh my god! We have entered a new pit, so sad!"

"I really want to see Sakuragi explode!"

"The author update is too slow!"

"The update is already very fast, come on, Xiao Xiami!"

A month's time! "Slam Dunk" has been serialized for a total of 4 issues!
After four issues, a total of more than 260 pages have been published, which is not an unpleasant speed.

Absolute industry conscience-level update speed, high-yield racing sows!

But for a full-length comic, more than 260 pages are just the beginning.

So far, the beginning of "Slam Dunk" has been very successful.

What makes Li Ze a little dissatisfied is that in the important comic rankings, although the popularity value of "Slam Dunk" has risen a lot, its ranking has only risen by two places, ranking 16th.

Click on the detailed parameters of the leaderboard, and it can be seen that the score of "Slam Dunk" is the highest in the whole list.

Even the No.2 masterpiece "Skyhawk Assassin", which claims to represent human beings thinking about the future, is a bit inferior in terms of ratings!

However, in addition to the explosive ratings, "Slam Dunk" is still far behind in several other key popularity indexes that determine its popularity.

To be reasonable, the circulation of Iwate Bookstore is less than 100 million copies. How can it compare with the popularity of manga works in tens of millions of magazines?

Seeing that the ranking of "Slam Dunk" was not very satisfactory, Li Ze could only say to himself: "A Mercedes-Benz on a dirt road can never outrun a Xiali on a highway. This shows that... the platform is very important."

……

"Slam Dunk" is very popular!

This is Xiao Xiami's most popular work, making the Xiami brothers and sisters quickly become new stars in the industry.

At the same time, "Slam Dunk" is the most popular work in the history of Iwate Bookstore, and the goal of making Iwate Bookstore break through 100 million copies is no longer a dream!
"Slam Dunk", the popularity is very low!

Compared with the works at the top of the hot list, look at the search index, look at the number of forum posts, look at the number of comments, look at the sales volume...

The popularity of "Slam Dunk" is simply incomparable to others!
However, as the serialization of Slam Dunk reached 260 pages, an opportunity to increase popularity appeared in front of Li Ze.
