He has now inherited those memories, and only then did he realize how precious this ability is.

What is the development trend of literature in the future interstellar era?

A great writer composes a positive, uplifting, and inspiring piece—whether long or short—infusing their own insights into the cosmic order, blending the rhythm of the Dao with words in a way that is simple and easy to understand. Ordinary readers can comprehend and feel the Dao’s resonance, and thus draw strength from the writing.

In the memories of that writer he inherited, a single article could double an ordinary person’s physical fitness and abilities—it was as easy as eating or drinking water.

Only writers with such extraordinary power can be called true literary masters.

Literary masters spread the Dao’s resonance through their words and works, and the benefits they receive are immense.

For every additional reader who gains from their work, the writer receives a one percent feedback of that person’s improvement.

A standard-fitness person of the future reads an article and doubles their physical ability; the writer only gets one percent of that, but what if there are ten million, or tens of millions of readers?

The cumulative effect is unimaginably vast.

Learning all this from that cluster of memories, Brian Clark gave up all the fields he worked in during his previous life, as well as the five years of medical undergraduate knowledge from this life. When he thought about working to make money, the first thing that came to mind was literature.

The problem was, when he calmed down and tried to give it a shot, he quickly got stuck again.

“What should I write?”

“In my previous life, I was just an ordinary book lover. I read a lot and enjoyed it, but actually writing myself? I’ve never tried. If it’s for money, web novels in this world are booming. There aren’t many legendary books from my past life here, but surprisingly, this world also has Tomato as a top author. It seems the main trajectory hasn’t changed. But he’s not famous for ‘Stellar Transformations’ or ‘Coiling Dragon’—it’s a few titles I’ve never heard of?”

“Should I plagiarize some of the famous books from my previous life? What was the protagonist’s name in ‘Stellar Transformations’? What was the story?”

“There’s no Chen Dong in this world? Can I copy ‘Shrouding the Heavens’? Damn, what was the plot of ‘Shrouding the Heavens’ again?”

……

As a veteran bookworm, Brian Clark had read and followed many popular and legendary web novels, but when he tried to recall them seriously, he couldn’t remember a single one in detail. He could recall the titles, but not even half of the plot or content.

How could he plagiarize like this? Even if he remembered the plot and knew that the “waste protagonist” genre was once hugely popular, without the skill, technique, or style, could he write a “waste protagonist” story as well as Potato? There were so many “waste protagonist” stories in his past life—how many authors could match Potato?

For the “mortal protagonist” genre, how many later writers could compare to Wang Yu?

He had never written a book before, neither in his past life nor this one, and he couldn’t even plagiarize!

“So frustrating. That great writer himself had written countless famous works, both long and short, and their content and style would be classics even here. But even he couldn’t remember them all—at most seventy or eighty percent. I still can’t copy them.”

Ask any writer if they can recite their last book word for word? Forget about memorizing millions of words—even tens of thousands would be impossible.

He could recall seventy or eighty percent of a classic, but the missing parts were still beyond Brian Clark’s ability to fill in—he simply didn’t have that level of literary accomplishment.
