What are the characteristics of romance novels?
Binding design: The cover of novels in Qiong Yao era is mostly a combination of pure and lovely beauty pictures and beautiful things such as sky, castle, flowers and butterflies. The color is monotonous, the layout is simple, and even most books don't even have a catalogue. After the copyright page, they directly return to the text. If there are illustrations, they are also so-so, which can hardly reach the appreciation level of modern people. However, nowadays, romance novels attach great importance to binding design, especially the cover design has become a crucial link in the publishing process. Because the cover style is not novel and not in place, there are many books that need to be remake, and the production methods are also varied. Silver stamping, ultraviolet light and grinding are all commonly used techniques. In addition to covers, catalogs, typography, illustrations, waist seals, etc. They all need special design to make the whole feeling more in line with the reading needs of modern young people and have higher collection and ornamental value.

Word count setting: This is a big change. Romance novels in the Qiong Yao era are full of dialogues, and the description of the scene atmosphere is not sufficient. The number of words in each volume is mostly around 654.38+ 10,000 words, especially the light and thin books, especially the works in the Xi Juan period. With the advent of reform and opening up, the era of speed reading has followed, readers can accept simple and direct love descriptions without bedding, and romance novels are gradually moving towards the era of entertainment. Romance in the new era needs to consider the needs of more readers. At present, most readers in the market have very diverse tastes and are very picky. Simple romance novels can't meet their needs, and simple structure and few protagonists can't please them. Therefore, modern romance novels add many factors, and it is necessary to build a huge system to tell the love and hate of a group of people. At this time, the author's ability to change scenes, determine characters and set off the atmosphere has increased a lot. The number of words must exceed 200,000 words, and even the first and second volumes can express a complete story. The open ending gives readers more imagination, adding fresh elements such as city, history, martial arts and crossing to enrich their works, and mature writers begin to plan their own big productions.

The concept of "big romance": The stories described in modern romance novels are no longer limited to the expression of love, but have added friendship, affection, complex emotional entanglements between people, and deep thinking about human nature and the future. As Tong Hua said, the creative source of her Song in the Cloud comes from a series of personal experiences related to growth, friendship, love, commitment, hypocrisy and human belief between childhood and female companions, and then gives the work a historical background, adding higher-level emotions such as national hatred and family hatred, making the characters fuller and the story more meaningful. Teng Ping's famous work "Jiugong Dance" series has laid a very high position for her to write martial arts romance. The novel Charming World, which has been silent for five years, has beautiful writing, ups and downs, and many characters in it. You can't ignore any appearance. Most of the protagonists in Teng Ping's novels are men with female aesthetic characteristics, and this book is still the same, which makes that kind of romance more restrained and profound, and expresses all kinds of emotions between men incisively and vividly, especially good at it. This kind of mood is small and big, because his thoughts have influenced everything around him. This is also a concept of great love that the author wants to express. Desire can change everything.
