What problem does it solve?
Choosing a viable topic for a long-form web novel requires evidence, not guesswork. This Skill turns platform ranking lists into structured market research, helping authors understand reader expectations, protagonist mechanics, and long-term serialization potential before committing to a book.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Ranking Sample Analysis: Collects verifiable samples from platform leaderboards with platform, list type, links, access dates, and sample sizes recorded for each data group.
- Structured Coding Method: Uses
references/method.md to encode genre combinations, emotional promises, protagonist starting points, core mechanics, first conflicts, first payoffs, and long-term upgrade space.
- Topic Candidate Reports: Outputs multiple topic candidates with market evidence, author fit, differentiation angles, opening validation methods, sustainable writing space, and risks.
- Use Case: Before starting a new serialized novel, ask the agent to scan current rankings on a target platform and compare three candidate genres, receiving a report that separates observed data from creative judgment.
