"Sonia, do you even know how you got on the top three list?" Ariana rolled her eyes.

The story of Sonia's writing career could be traced back to her school days.

She was obsessed with reading romantic novels, and couldn't resist reading them in class, at home, and even during meals.

Eventually, she decided to write her own novels to fulfill her personal desire. But every time she finished one, it turned out to be rubbish. Her writing was just plain lousy, and she always forced Ariana to add positive comments to her books.

The popularity of her current novel's top ranking was just the result of Sonia paying people to comment on her book in order to increase traffic. She earned the money for this from her job as a paparazzo and entertainment blogger.

To further increase the hype, Sonia even created alternate accounts to criticize anyone who left negative comments, following the popular strategy commonly used in the entertainment industry.

She had opened at least ten accounts, and the website regulators warned her about it. She almost got banned from publishing any novels.

But since this book had increased traffic on the website, the officials eventually turned a blind eye to it.

This situation showed that in today's society, as long as someone was popular, regardless of who they were, they'd be seen as a treasure.

As of now, this book had been serialized for over one million words. Considering Sonia's writing habits, it was likely far from completion.

"After years of practice, my writing skills have completed a qualitative leap! The number of eager readers has increased several-fold compared to the original data,"

Sonia chirped.

"In the latest chapter I've finished, the lead character uses drones and hydrogen balloons to chase after the woman he loves. The plot has received a lot of positive comments."

Sonia was confident in her ability to write novels. The character and plot designs were unique and beyond the ordinary person's imagination. The only reason her novels weren't among the most popular ones on the Internet was that fate wasn't on her side.

Those who claimed her novels were terrible simply didn't know how to appreciate good art.

Ariana felt completely helpless and sneered, "If all authors were like you, frequently sending money to chat groups of readers, I'd definitely compliment your ‘excellent’ writing techniques and shower your novels with positive comments."

As she spoke, she opened the website she knew like the back of her hand and began scanning the latest chapter. After a quick glance, she burst out laughing.

"Seriously, who in real life would be crazy enough to spend a fortune on drones and hydrogen balloons just to impress a girl? It's so over-the-top and cliché. If I were that woman, I'd be so embarrassed that I'd pack my bags and move to Mars."

"Come on, it wouldn't be a domineering CEO's love story without the rich guy doing something stupid,” Sonia grumbled.

"But whatever, you better give me some compliments, or I'll add in a hopeless supporting character and name her Ariana Edwards."
