A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

The news program on the Imperial Capital TV station was broadcast on time in the evening. After reporting some recent news about Dragon Country, it took more than ten seconds to briefly introduce the novel selection activity of "New God Ascension". And the deeds of a large group of fans on the Internet who helped promote the work "To the Moon" on their own in recent days.

[A touching story about love, a story about forgetting and promises. ]

The news only had a brief comment on "To the Moon", but it was mentioned in the news program of the Imperial Capital TV, which was enough to show the speed of the influence of this work in just a few days.

The major novel critics in the Magic City and the Imperial Capital came to work.

What is there to comment on the novels of the top light novelists in Dragon Country? Readers in the Dragon Country novel world have long been familiar with them, but To the Moon is different.

A work written by a new novelist from the Southern Province, in the novel selection activity such as the New God's Ascension, without any capital support or publicity, it rushed to the first place among the fifty-one novels in the eighth issue of the serialization based on the quality of the work itself, and the voting order rushed to the second place.

This kind of thing has never happened before.

This week, the name of the novel "To the Moon" will basically be added to the list of novels recommended by critics in the novel journals of the entire Magic City and the Imperial City.

[I thought I took care of you who was autistic for a lifetime, but in fact you spent your whole life trying to make me remember who I am. To the Moon, a novel that touches the depths of the reader's heart inadvertently. ]

[The most touching confession, "If we are both lost, let's meet on the moon!", a childhood promise that runs through the lives of two people. This year's novel masterpiece at the beginning of the year, To the Moon will definitely not disappoint you. 】

【I once thought that Going to the Moon was a work by the Southern Province novelist "Yuan Qing" to let go of herself. Even when the novel was serialized to the fifth chapter, I had already thought about how to write a manuscript to ridicule her work when the New God Ascension novel selection activity was over. But the reality is that Yuan Qing, she used a romantic story about going to the moon to slap me in the face and took away the tears that I had not shed for three whole years. 】

【Yuan Qing, a light novel writer from Southern Province with a mysterious identity, debuted in January last year, and by April this year, she was almost on the top of the New God Ascension journal. I am looking forward to the moment when she makes history, and I look forward to the history that she has created for novelists from non-Modu, Imperial Capital regions to top the "New God Ascension" journal. 】

【A beautiful but heartbreaking love story. In the eighth chapter of Going to the Moon, how romantic and beautiful the first meeting between John and Xiaoxi is, and how heartbreaking the ending of Xiaoxi and John in the first chapter is. This novel is not finished yet, but its ending is already determined. Xiaoxi did not awaken John's childhood memories until his death. 】

【If you feel that your life needs a little touch, then come and read Going to the Moon. 】

【This is not a work that should appear in a novel journal of the newcomer selection level. I believe that even if Going to the Moon is serialized in any light novel journal in Longguo, it will definitely not be inferior. 】

The unanimous praise of the media has made the novel Going to the Moon quickly gain popularity in the Longguo novel circle.

After all, New God Ascension is just a selection activity in the Longguo novel circle, just like the Tezuka Award selection in the island country comics circle in the parallel world.

A newcomer novel selection activity, in the two-dimensional world, its influence is definitely not as good as the Longyin Award selection in the Longguo comics circle, the Emperor Star Award selection in the novel circle, and the "Best TV Animation of the Year!" and "Best Animated Film of the Year!" selection in the animation circle every year.

These award competitions are the carnival of the two-dimensional world in Longguo. It can be called the Oscar event of the two-dimensional world in this world.

After all, the total number of buyers of New God Ascension is only about 3 million people.

Compared with the 1.5 billion population of Longguo, the hundreds of millions of two-dimensional fans in Longguo's native area, and the hundreds of millions of people in overseas countries who are influenced by Longguo's two-dimensional culture.

The sales volume of 3 million is not much.

From the perspective of the parallel world of Japan, this is already top-level, almost the sales volume that can be achieved by the top journals in that region.

But in Longguo, if the ranking of the journal sales of novels and comics is unified in a table, the sales volume of more than 3 million copies of New God Ascension is only ranked in the 20th or 30th place.

It cannot be said that there is no influence, but it can only be said that the influence is not particularly large.

Many mainstream novel fans also know that there is such a work in Longguo because of the crazy recommendation of these novel reviewers.

But this also makes many novel fans and animation fans who do not pay attention to this kind of newcomer selection competition have an impression of the work name "To the Moon".

Now that the "New God Ascension" journal has been serialized to the eighth issue, these passers-by will naturally not come to join the army of novel-chasing members.

But they have such an impression of the work "To the Moon" in their heads [Oh, this novel is very touching, very excellent, a bunch of professional novel critics are bragging about it! ]

This is enough. When the single volume of the novel "To the Moon" is released, even if only a small number of these people have such an impression and choose to support the single volume, the sales volume that can be contributed at that time will be huge.

On the other hand, the person in charge of the New God Ascension journal selected by the Seven Major Bookstores Committee has actually been quite confused these days.

The sudden rise of Go to the Moon directly disrupted all the staff's arrangements.

According to convention, more than 20 days later, the cover of the last issue of the New God's Ascension will be given to the novel with the greatest influence and the highest praise in the three months of serialization in this journal.

Normally, this novel is basically confirmed before the release of the tenth issue after the first nine issues, so there is no need to worry about it.

Only this time

No matter how the person in charge looks at it, the first priority of "Cyberpunk. Crime Domain" is extremely unstable.

Not to mention the tenth issue, after the release of the ninth issue in four days, it feels that the first priority of "Cyberpunk. Crime Domain" will change.

If Go to the Moon really reaches the top, then the focus of the TV award promotion after the serialization of the New God's Ascension journal will also change.

The protagonist of the entire award will also shift from the six participating authors from the Magic City and the Imperial City to the light novel writer Yuan Qing from the Southern Province.

Time, enter April.

The spring animation market ends

In the field of Longguo animation, during the broadcast time, the ratings of Anohana ended its journey as the second-ranked new animation of the quarter.

But in the field of novels

It is hard to get a single volume of Anohana's novel. Maple Literature asked the printing factory to work overtime to print the single volume of the novel, which was delivered to all provinces in Longguo, but the supply is still less than the demand. The number of online orders on the official website alone has exceeded one million copies.

It was not until this time, almost ten days after the animation ended, that the impact of Anohana animation on the original novel began to be officially demonstrated.

On the other hand, in the selection of the novel of Shinshin Ascension.

Ten days is still too short for the spread of the popularity of To the Moon.

But even so

At least among the buyers of the Shinshin Ascension journal, the fame of this novel has spread thoroughly.

April 4, Thursday.

The ninth issue of Shinshin Ascension novel journal was officially released.

Outside the bookstore, a group of book fans gathered and discussed the plot while waiting for the bookstore to open.

"I read To the Moon again this week. I found that the second reading of this novel is even more cruel."

"Don't say it, I don't even dare to read it a second time. Now I want to see how Mr. Yuanqing writes the plot of the ninth and tenth chapters of this novel."

"To be honest, this story is very beautiful, but the ending is definitely not perfect. The real Xiaoxi is dead. No matter how this work is written later, it can't cover up the fact that it is a tragic novel."

"Now it depends on how the author writes the ninth chapter."

"In fact, if the later chapters are not well written, it is better to end in the eighth chapter. Just like that, write a tragic love story about saving and being saved. The ending may not be perfect, but at least both people have tried hard."

"Just read it again. Why are you panicking now that the later plots have not come out?"

"I am just afraid that the author Yuanqing will not handle the plot well in the later stage and destroy the beauty of this novel. Sometimes writing some unnecessary things directly makes the structure of the novel collapse."

"Indeed, this person used seven chapters of the novel to lay the groundwork for this story, and used the eighth chapter to The plot of the first chapter makes the story sublime. Now I am afraid that she will do something in the next two chapters. "

"You must believe in Teacher Yuan Qing! She is already a mature and excellent author who has created three novels. Although I have searched many bookstores in the imperial capital and cannot find her Youth Journey single volume, the single volume of Anohana purchased online will be shipped from the southern province ten days later. But judging from the quality of the later animation plot of her Anohana, she should still be quite stable. "

"Mature novel author? You forgot that she is just a 17-year-old girl who is still in the third year of high school! There is more than a month left before the college entrance examination. Who knows if she will be overwhelmed by academic pressure. "

"."

"Don't say it, I'm afraid. "

"Me too, when you say that, I think of the history of the fall of Chu Jin, a genius high school writer in Longguo ten years ago. Because he did not do well in the college entrance examination, he directly fell into depravity. After entering college, his novels became worse and worse. Don't be a pessimist! You. "

Outside the bookstore, a group of people were passionately discussing topics related to Yuan Qing and going to the moon.

In the past few days, as the popularity of Going to the Moon spread, the author setting of Yuan Qing, a beautiful high school girl from Southern Province, has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of readers in various provinces.

After all, the locals in Southern Province say so, and readers in other regions will not doubt Yuan Qing's gender.

Before, if a group of "New God Ascension" magazine fans gathered together to discuss the novels above, they basically discussed the topics of Cyberpunk. Crime Domain or the two novels of Great Scientist.

However, when the bookstore opened, everyone stopped talking collectively.

Ge Meng took a step forward, although she was a woman, she still quickly passed the crowd in front.

Her excited steps showed her nervousness at the moment.

Picking up this heavy novel magazine from the bookshelf, Ge Meng paid and went home immediately.

With a nervous mood, she opened the ninth chapter of the novel Going to the Moon.

However, at the beginning, the plot of the novel gave her a thunderbolt.

After the protagonist in the plot knew the motives of the old man John to go to the moon,

he naturally knew how to make the old man realize his wish to go to the moon.

[As long as the existence of Xiaoxi in various time periods in John's memory is erased, then with the help of the memory machine, old man John will no longer have a deepening obsession with going to the moon because Xiaoxi is not by his side, and he will succeed. Tamper with John's memory and let him "go to the moon"! ] Eva said to Neil indifferently.

This sentence not only shocked Neil in the novel, but also Ge ​​Meng who read the novel.

The reason why John came up with the idea of ​​going to the moon in his old age and signed a contract with the company owned by Neil and Eva to help him fulfill his desire to go to the moon was because his wife Xiao Xi died.

Because his wife disappeared from John's side, John's subconscious thought "If we get lost, we will always meet on the moon!" has taken root in John's subconscious since he was a child! ] Obsession affected John. Even if he forgot the agreement he made when he was a child, he was still driven by this obsession to go to the moon to find a stream.

And what is Eva saying?

Erase all the presence of Xiaoxi in John's life, so that John will not be with Xiaoxi since middle school, then John will want to work for NASA and strive for the goal of astronauts. With this motivation, "Memory Only the machine can work synchronously with John's brain to integrate a brand new memory life in which John finally "went to the moon" without regrets.

But is such a life meaningful?

John's purpose in going to the moon was that he subconsciously thought he could encounter a stream there.

But in order to realize his wish, stripping away the fragments of Xiaoxi's existence in his life is like sacrificing the essentials and discarding the last.

Neil is in the novel, so he and Eva quarrel.

They are just company employees. The old man's wish is to go to the moon, so let him realize his wish.

As for whether life without the creek will be more painful for John, that is secondary. After all, Eva has to act in accordance with the contract.

But Neil firmly disagreed, and even started a struggle with Eva for the control of the memory machine in the memory world in order to stop Eva.

But in the end.

Neil failed.

Ge Meng couldn't stop crying at this moment.

This author Yuan Qing. Why is he still going under the knife in Chapter 9?

Can you bear the heart to let John lose the memories of decades of mutual friendship and walking together with Xiao Xi?

What does going to the moon mean to John?

Eva got the authority to completely delete the existence of the creek in John's memory.

This episode.

Xia Yan used detailed words to describe it.

In middle school, when John and Xiaoxi met, Xiaoxi's existence was hidden

The two missed it directly.

When the two went to watch a movie on their first date, they made the creek disappear.

Brooks also had her presence removed while riding with John.

What would John's life be like without the presence and company of the creek?

Finally in that high school class.

The teacher asked John for the first time.

【What is your dream? 】

【astronaut. ] John said firmly.

"Ugh" Ge Meng originally thought that Chapter 8 was cruel enough.

But after seeing what was described in this chapter, John still couldn't accept the new life built by the memory machine.

Judging from the setting in the book, the memory machine is just an auxiliary tool. How to form new life memories is still dominated by the subconscious mind of the old man John.

Because the existence of Xiaoxi was disappeared by the memory machine, John's subconscious wanted to go to the moon to find her, so with the help of the memory machine, he reconstructed this new life of John studying hard and becoming an astronaut.

If Chapter 8 tells the story of Xiaoxi's love for John throughout his life, even if he cannot express his feelings, he will try his best to protect John.

Chapter 9 depicts John's deepest love for Xiao Xi. Even in the reconstructed memory world, he never fails to look for the non-existent "her" for a moment.

By this time, the creek had disappeared from John's life for ten years.

I can no longer remember the memories of my childhood.

But deep in his soul, the promise he made with that girl to go to the moon has never been forgotten, driving John to work hard since middle school and strive for the goal of becoming an astronaut.

The memory of marrying the creek, settling down on the coastline, the night before the wedding, and dancing with the creek in front of the lighthouse.

An agreement with Xiaoxi to build a house in front of the lighthouse to protect the lighthouse.

Over the decades, the creek's legacy in John's life was completely removed.

All that was left was nothingness, and John's determination to go to the moon became more and more determined day after day, year after year.

What's on the moon?

He doesn't know either.

Why he wanted to go to the moon, he didn’t know.

But, he had to do it.

Even if he doesn't remember anything, even if these are just memories of his life that have been tampered with by the memory machine.

But the agreement with that girl, the agreement to meet on the moon if they could not find each other, no matter how many times the memory machine fabricated his life, John would only forget this agreement at the memory level, but not from the soul level.

Human beings only forget how to breathe when they die. This is instinctive.

There are two chapters of 83,000 words. I will code the third chapter and maybe update it at one or two points.
