The Trending Genre Radar turns public rankings into verifiable, selectable book creation basis. It first displays raw rankings, then lets you decide which works to analyze. AI only extracts signals from the selected range, and finally hands those signals to Auto Director to generate new book directions.

Hand to Auto Director

Bring selected signals into the book creation page, where Auto Director continues advancing world, characters, and chapters.

View Public Rankings

Open “Trending Genre Radar” in the left “Creation” group. The page displays public rankings from the following platforms:
  • Fanqie Novel: Reading Rankings, New Book Rankings
  • Qidian: Bestseller Rankings, Monthly Ticket Rankings, New Book Rankings
  • Jinjiang Literature City: Monthly Rankings, Quarterly Rankings, New Author Rankings
The scraper only reads a single public page configured per source, retaining at most the first 30 metadata items successfully identified. The page explicitly marks “successfully identified count this time” and the 30-item cap; it does not promise full data.
When platform page structures change, the corresponding source is marked as failed while other platforms continue to display. When all fail, rescan rankings instead of directly initiating an empty analysis.

Scanning Rankings and Existing Data

When the page loads, it first reads the most recent persisted scan containing ranking entries and displays it immediately. When there is no historical data, it automatically initiates the first scan. When rankings already exist, “Rescan” is triggered manually by you.
When refreshing rankings, old rankings must not be cleared before the new scan has obtained displayable entries. If the new scan fails, continue retaining old results and explain that this update was unsuccessful.

Selecting Works and Analysis Range

Each ranking supports selecting all or checking works one by one. The AI analysis range is exactly these explicitly checked works this time. The default follows the “new book signal priority” principle: when a platform has available New Book Rankings or Jinjiang New Author Rankings, works within these rankings are selected by default; when missing, works within that platform’s mature rankings are selected by default. After selection, click “Start AI Analysis.” You cannot repeatedly submit the same round of analysis before analysis completes. During analysis, the page shows real progress, and directly navigates to results upon completion.
When a platform read fails, the page retains data successfully obtained from other platforms. Rescan when cross-platform comparison is needed.

How to Read the AI Analysis Report

The report organizes signals by purpose. Each signal is accompanied by heat, crowdedness, and ranking evidence: High heat does not mean suitable for direct following. When crowdedness is also high, prioritize checking “Differentiation Opportunities” and evidence before deciding whether to adopt.

Three Market Influence Modes

When making final signal selections, you need to determine the market influence mode: For first-time book creators, “Differentiate Within Trends” is recommended. The default creation selection is one differentiation opportunity plus up to three supporting signals; users can select at most five.

Saving and Market Briefs

Individual signals in the report support quick saving. After saving, they are written to an independent trending genre list, not into the general Genre Library or Progression Modes library. When saving, the signal name, judgment summary, direction, heat and crowdedness are retained, along with report and signal references. A single saved signal can directly generate a market creation brief containing only that signal, and enter Auto Director book creation. Multiple selections can also be merged into a single market brief. A market brief contains at least:
  • An editable starting idea (protagonist identity, core strength, opening event, and near-term goal)
  • Golden finger or core strength
  • Core appeal
  • First 30 chapters promise
  • Recommended genre base, main progression, and auxiliary progression
Market briefs only retain reader satisfaction points, payoff mechanisms, and structural opportunities; they do not copy ranking works’ character names, proprietary settings, synopsis expressions, or full titles. Specific naming belongs to subsequent character and world planning stages.

How Signals Enter Auto Director

After clicking “Create with These Signals,” the system organizes the final selection into a creation brief and brings it into the book creation page:
  • An editable starting idea that can be directly modified
  • Golden finger or core strength
  • Core appeal and first 30 chapters promise
  • Recommended genre base, main progression, and auxiliary progression
  • Corresponding market signal summary and evidence sources
Genres and progression modes need to be rematched based on this brief’s creative seed, and must not directly reuse the whole report’s generic recommendations. On the book creation page, your manually selected genre or progression mode is retained with priority; radar suggestions are used to fill blanks and do not overwrite explicit selections. When you have already entered a starting idea, core appeal, or other content, only blank starting ideas, core appeals, first 30 chapters promises, and creative bases are supplemented; asynchronous overwriting does not occur.

Resource Library Hints

Genres and progression modes mentioned in the report may already exist in the resource library, or may need to be newly added:
  • “Already in library”: can directly enter the resource library to locate and view
  • “Needs to be added”: confirm to create the corresponding resource, then use it for the new book after completion
Reusing existing resources first can reduce the accumulation of near-synonymous genres or duplicate progression modes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Public pages may be temporarily unavailable or their structure may have changed. First check platform status and use successfully obtained data; rescan when needed.
First wait for the scan to complete, and check at least one work. You cannot repeatedly submit the same round of analysis during report generation.
Not recommended. The radar is for extracting market signals and differentiation opportunities, not for copying specific characters, worlds, or plots. To study a single reference work, use “Book Breakdown”; to start a book from breakdown results, use “Write Like This Book.”
Signals enter project settings and direction generation as the basis for this book creation. You can still adjust genre, appeal, progression mode, and reader promise on the Auto Director book creation page later.
Yes. Re-check works and initiate a new round of analysis. The same scan result can generate multiple reports. Existing reports are not overwritten; saved items and briefs continue to reference the report version at generation time.
