Hongguo Novels was established to make up for the shortcomings of Tomato Novels. It was a replacement during the renovation of Tomato Novels.

It has just been a month and a half since Tomato Novel was offline for rectification. ByteDance has recently repackaged and launched a free reading app called "Hongguo Novel", aiming to fill the gap in the market.

Whether it is the description of the application or the tone of the entire LOGO, Hongguo Novel is very similar to Tomato Novel, which was previously required to be taken offline for rectification. Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that Hongguo novel is to some extent a substitute for Tomato novel during the rectification period.

Of course, there is another point worth noting. The first version of Changdu Novel was launched on July 3. At that time, Tomato Novel had not been asked to go offline for rectification; in addition, according to Beijing ByteDance According to the trademark registration information of Technology Co., Ltd., the trademark "Changdu" was applied for registration on May 22, but the trademarks "Tomato Novel" and "Hongguo Novel" were nowhere to be seen.

Therefore, it is currently unclear whether ByteDance’s original plan was to run multiple similar products in parallel to prepare for emergencies, or whether it was due to Tomato Novel suddenly being interviewed for rectification that prompted the emergency launch of Hongguo Novel. judge.
