What it does

Once installed, the agent can pull current genre rankings and new-book lists from several Chinese web-novel platforms, group the results, and report which story types, character settings and title patterns keep recurring. It then helps judge which trends a writer could realistically pursue and suggests topics to test, saving the manual work of browsing rankings by hand. It works from repeated patterns across many titles rather than from a single chart position.

Great for

  • Chinese web-novel authors choosing a genre or topic before writing a long serial
  • Writers who want to compare what is rising on Qidian, Fanqie, Jjwxc or Qimao
  • Market researchers tracking genre trends on Chinese online fiction platforms

Skip it if

  • Users outside Chinese web fiction, since the platform references and genre logic are specific to these sites
  • Anyone expecting reliable live data without a browser session: the scrapers depend on page layouts and anti-scraping measures that can break or return nothing, and the skill falls back to offline historical knowledge that may be outdated
  • Decisions relying on private author metrics such as completion or subscription conversion, which the scripts cannot access

Get better results

  • Let the agent run the scripts first, then ask it to summarise; check the 采集情况 section and re-scrape any platform flagged as incomplete.
  • If scraping fails, paste ranking text or screenshots yourself (the skill supports author-provided data) rather than relying on fetched pages.
  • Use the sampling option on one genre at a time to check original book settings instead of trusting aggregate counts alone.
