The terrifying bit is not what gets published, but the trillions of EVEN SHITTIER attempts in writing sites that don't. A big reason why a lot of these are so trash is because they are rushed to hell, authors will pump them out in 6 months and then post chapters daily in these sites to get as much attention as possible. Everyone writes the same derivative garbage because it's the only thing the retards who go on those sites want and it has become the META, so everyone just makes slightly different versions of the same shit trying to get their 15 seconds of front page viewership for the remote chance to get picked up and published.It sells well, it's a good business segment if you are publishing books. A compact, serialized novella with intricately simplified language edited, exquisitely, to appeal to the 25->40 year old single male salaryman segment. If they become mildly popular it will get picked up for a horrible anime adaptation, if it does well you can tie that to a terrible arena-fighter videogame and more OVAs. It would be a shame to let a goldmine go unmined.
