Regarding various fields on Blue Star, the Literature and Art Association has compiled many rankings.

However.

In the past, the continents were not fully integrated yet.

Most of the rankings were localized, with each continent playing its own game.

For example, before the integration, the Qin Continent seasonal rankings only allowed Qin people to compete.

But now.

With Blue Star's integration.

The Literature and Art Association has been working tirelessly to collect data across all continents and fields.

From now on, all rankings released by the Literature and Art Association will be global rankings.

Among these.

Some rankings have already been published.

Others are still under review.

After all, the sheer volume of data from each continent is immense, and the Literature and Art Association prioritizes authority and credibility.

The comprehensive data involved in each field is overwhelming, and the workload cannot be completed overnight.

At present.

As the Literature and Art Association continues to release its rankings for various fields, the reactions from netizens across the continents have been nothing short of remarkable!

Especially from Zhong Continent.

Because many celebrities from other continents are relatively unfamiliar to people in Zhong Continent.

Whenever they see figures from other continents surpassing Zhong Continent's talents on some rankings, it inevitably sparks great curiosity and amazement!

"We've been overly arrogant before."

"We can't underestimate the people from other continents."

"And it's not just in the fields of novels and comics."

"Many of the rankings being published are still dominated by people from other continents!"

"These rankings are undoubtedly authoritative, but we in Zhong Continent are at a slight disadvantage due to our late integration. People from other continents aren't yet familiar with some of our big players. Once enough time passes, we'll reclaim many of the top spots."

"That's true."

"Although Zhong Continent is a leader across various fields, the restrictions on introducing our works in other continents over the years have curbed our full potential. This gap will take time to bridge. On the flip side, it does highlight the strength of some big names from other continents. For example, in the music industry, besides Xian Yu from Qin Continent, Yang Zhongming has been absolutely formidable. Even Abigail has long yearned for a direct face-off with him."

"Let me go familiarize myself with some of these celebrities from other continents."

"There should be more truly heavyweight rankings forthcoming."

"The Literature and Art Association mentioned before that official rankings for all industries will come, right? Sales rankings are temporary. The truly major rankings will be personal rankings for big names across continents."

Exactly.

After the Blue Songlympics concluded, the Literature and Art Association did announce such plans.

However, the specifics of how the Literature and Art Association intended to rank top talents in various fields remained unclear.

After all, these rankings involve numerous factors.

Any overlooked aspect could stir controversy.

Take, for instance, rankings in the film industry.

Some directors or screenwriters have films with astounding box-office numbers but mediocre reviews.

Others have films with relatively lower box-office numbers but stellar reviews and awards that crush those of box-office blockbusters.

So, who ranks higher among them?

Director-centric models vs. screenwriter-centric models—whose influence outweighs the other?

Therefore.

This type of most prestigious ranking requires factoring in multiple weights, making it extremely challenging.

Even as the Literature and Art Association has released a slew of rankings, it has yet to publish this most major one.

...

Over the next few days.

Various rankings across Blue Star's fields continued to trickle out.

And in most rankings, Zhong Continent's performance remained exceptionally strong.

The entirety of Blue Star was paying attention!

Then, when most of the rankings had been released.

On January 10th!

The official accounts of the Literature and Art Association on various platforms suddenly announced this shocking news:

The Literature and Art Association will soon unveil Blue Star's inaugural most valuable ranking through television stations and online platforms:

The Blue Star Author Power Rankings!

This ranking will combine Blue Star authors' sales, fame, influence, literary merit in their preferred genres, awards received, and overall contributions to create an official, comprehensive ranking.

It will be updated monthly!

When the news broke, the entire world was stunned!

The much-awaited heavyweight rankings had finally arrived!

The Blue Star Author Power Rankings—this marks the first time in Blue Star's history that authors will be ranked comprehensively!

Tribe!

Blogs!

Global networks!

Netizens from various continents went into a frenzy discussing the news!

"The first heavyweight ranking is on its way. Literature really is a fitting entry point since authors across all genres will be accounted for!"

"Zhong Continent people are still at a disadvantage."

"Actually, this ranking is fairer to Zhong Continent now, because the works of truly top-tier figures on our literary scene are widely distributed across continents and haven't faced many cultural barriers. In fact, Zhong Continent's reputation has amplified their global influence."

"Does this mean most of the top ten will be Zhong Continent authors?"

"Not necessarily."

"Each continent has its own giants."

"True. The smaller rankings already revealed that top figures from other continents perform almost on par with Zhong, and some even surpass Zhong's stars."

"Do you think Qi Continent's heavy hitter will make it?"

"Ol' Zhang?"

"Yeah."

"I think Chu Continent's Ol' Li has a good chance too."

"We have a big name in Yan Continent whose sales have been unbeatable for years. They'll surely make the top twenty at least."

"Each continent has its heavyweights."

"What about Qin people—do you think Chu Kuang can break into the top ten?"

"That old rascal seems quite likely. Although his career isn't as long as some true veterans, his recent sales are astronomical, and he spans multiple genres effortlessly!"

...

The author community went absolutely wild!

Authors from all continents were on edge with anticipation!

Countless authors' eyes turned red in excitement!

Even literary stalwarts couldn't contain themselves!

Writers naturally chase recognition!

Who doesn't want to make it onto the list!

This is the ultimate ranking for all authors on Blue Star!

"Teacher Wang will definitely make it into the top fifty!"

"I think you have better chances than me."

"Hard to say."

"This kind of thing is weighed comprehensively."

"It involves so many factors."

"Who knows what the Literature and Art Association prioritizes in the rankings."

"Doesn't matter!"

"This list gets updated monthly."

"Even if someone's ranking isn't great now, just dropping a blockbuster might push them higher up!"

...

Qin Continent.

At home.

Lin Yuan also saw the announcement from the Literature and Art Association.

The Blue Star Author Power Rankings—this is the so-called world-class author ranking.

Under his pen name Chu Kuang, Lin Yuan had written so many works, yet he wondered what rank the Literature and Art Association would give him.

Top hundred?

Top eighty?

Top fifty?

Top twenty?

Or perhaps, top ten?

Lin Yuan had seen the previous sales rankings and, to be honest, didn't think they meant much—they only reflected short-term trends. Whoever had a major hit recently would skew the standings. Zhong Continent was slightly disadvantaged in terms of reputation, causing some of its members to be overshadowed by him for now. But the future remained uncertain. Only this ranking could truly represent an author's standing.

This is the definitive ranking for authors across Blue Star!

Beside him.

His mom.

His sister.

His younger sister.

All were gathered around him.

This ranking had captivated the hearts of people worldwide!

Sister: "Our company has authors who might have a shot at making it. But the most likely candidate for a high rank is Chu Kuang. He's the backbone of our company. I bet right now countless publishers around the globe are waiting for this list, as the author rankings will have direct implications on the future of major companies!"

Younger sister puzzled: "Why is that?"

Sister chuckled: "The Literature and Art Association's list is the gold standard of authority. If a certain author makes it into the top hundred, then whenever their next work is released, just mentioning their position in the Blue Star author rankings will convince countless readers to buy it. Beyond that, many other factors are influenced—you'll understand later just how much this ranking will drive people crazy."

Mom: "I'm only interested in the music rankings."

Younger sister: "The novel rankings involve brother's friend Chu Kuang."

Mom instantly perked up at this, showing interest in supporting her son's friends like Shadow, Chu Kuang, and the Yu Dynasty.

Suddenly.

Lin Yuan's expression changed.

The Blue Star Author Power Rankings had been released!

Big Yaoyao immediately stepped forward.

Mom hurried over as well.

Sister's eyes widened in curiosity.

When they saw the list, the entire family's eyes were glued to the screen!

Mom: "Where's Chu Kuang?"

Younger sister, eyes wide: "Start looking from the hundredth spot!"

Sister laughed: "Try somewhere around the fiftieth spot—he'll surely make the top fifty at least."

Lin Yuan focused his gaze: "I found it."
