GoodNovel writing tips — A brief introduction to urban romance writing
Why Urban Romance novels are so trending in 2021? How to ride this trend?
Urban fiction are novels based on urban life. The content of the novel originates from but is not limited to urban life. From a chronological point of view, urban fiction can be divided into three main categories: reborn in the past, modern urban, and foresee the future life.
Reborn in the past refers to a story about being reborn in a certain point in the past, living again, making up for regrets and rebuilding a perfect life.
Modern urban refers to works that talk about life taking place in a modern setting, regardless of the identity or profession of the main characters. It can also be subdivided into genres such as entertaining, paranormal, youth and so on.
Foresee the future, which can be interpreted as a story that takes place in the future, is in a sense intertwined with the science fiction genre, as the future is unknowable, so there is no need to subdivide the genre and the story can be created based on the author’s imagination.
Nowadays, urban fiction has developed into a myriad of genres, themes and trends, and can also be divided into genres based on the well-known professions of the protagonists.
The soldier stream: the protagonist, originally a strong mercenary, returns to urban life, tired of fighting.
The doctor stream: the protagonist is a doctor and heals people with his medical skills.
The young daddy stream: the protagonist returns to the city to chase after a female protagonist with a cute baby.
The urban immortality cultivation stream: the protagonist is strong and returns to the city by chance to be strong again.
The son-in-law stream: the protagonist is a man, and for unspeakable reasons, he has to marry a girl from a rich family bearing all the scorns, and then rise up against all the odds.
The treasure appraisal stream: the protagonist knows a bit about treasure appraisal, and unintentionally acquires the secret of treasure appraisal, so he/she starts to evaluate treasures and protect the traditional cultural relics.
The aura recovery stream: the protagonist lives in a modern city, and when the aura recovers, the environment in which the protagonist lives undergoes a radical change.
In a nutshell, writers can be very imaginative in writing urban fiction as long as it is situated in a modern life setting!
