After several years of publishing novels,

my thoughts on the current reading trends is…

16 of 31

MARCO POLO

Similar to the current trend of short videos,

readers capable of reading large amounts of text and lengthy pages are gradually decreasing.

So…

1. Novels with appropriate length

  are relatively easier for readers to engage with.

2. Getting straight to the point at the beginning

  has become important.

MARCO POLO

The impact of KOL, celebrity endorsements, and social media promotion

is becoming increasingly significant.

maybe…

1. The proportion of people browsing bookstores is declining.

 Among the myriad of books, most readers will prioritize

 those recommended by others.

2. We should creating topics or trends.

Maybe…

1. Increasing the connection between giveaways and books.

For novels related to the environment and forests

We chose to pair them with

seed pens that can be freely planted and support sustainable development.

MARCO POLO

Maybe…

2. Holding physical lectures and linking them

  with different keywords and themes.

Travel Literature Lectures�Combining themes of

“knowledge,” “humanities,” “spirituality,” and “politics,”

we host multiple lectures to attract diverse readers to explore travel literature together.

Go to Your Mother’s World

#Essay

#Satirical Feminism

She didn't yet know how to healthily embrace being a woman when she gave birth to a daughter.

Women endure many indescribable pressures and emotions from the moment of pregnancy, but they can't appear too fragile for fear of being judged as unprepared for motherhood.

Old-School Girl’s Shopping Route

#About Food

Writing about food is also writing about family.

It’s not only an exploration of the aesthetics of dining

but also a reflection on the punctuation marks of life.

It’s not just a return to observing societal customs

and home life but also a journey of self-reflection,

nurturing affection, and personal growth.
