A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

January 14, early morning. ơɱ

In Longguo, basically all bookstores above the county level and of a certain scale have the latest novel journal "New God's Ascension" on the shelves.

For this journal, Longguo's book fans are no strangers. It is published every two years, and the works of "real" new light novels who have debuted only two years ago, have excellent talents and historical achievements, and are under the age of 25 are selected for serialization. It absolutely prevents well-known writers from changing vests and pretending to be young among the new crowd.

Compared with those old-fashioned and famous novelists who dare not write bold plots in order to stabilize their performance, the works of these new novelists are actually more bold, and they may not be as good as those famous novelists in controlling the plot, but the creativity and imagination of young people can make up for the gap to a certain extent.

This novel journal, which appears every two years, has a good reputation among Longguo's novel fans over the years, coupled with the joint publication and promotion of the seven major bookstores.

In fact, this journal will have a stable sales volume of more than 3 million copies during the period of publication. On average, each province will have a sales volume of about 200,000 copies.

Li Shaona is a senior high school student in the Magic City.

She has a beautiful appearance and average grades.

Originally, given her situation, she would not buy this kind of journal for new novelists.

She can't finish reading the works of famous novelists in the Magic City and the Imperial City. Newcomers? When they become famous, their works will naturally enter her eyes.

However, who told her that her unscrupulous best friend in the Southern Province recommended "Anohana" two months ago?

From that day on, she was obsessed with this work. Lin Yi's promotional poster was posted in the room opposite the bedside, and when the animation of Anohana started three days ago, she also called a large group of friends in the class to watch it together.

As for squatting at the door of the bookstore early in the morning, the purpose was also very simple, going for the new novel of "Genqing".

While she was waiting for the bookstore to open, some novel fans were discussing the show together.

"Who do you think will win the prize in the selection of "New God Ascension" this time?"

"I think it's Kang Ning, a novelist in our Magic City. He has been in the industry for two years and has created two novels with a million sales per volume. In particular, the novel "Weird Clouds" he completed three months ago has an average sales of nearly two million copies per volume. According to gossip, his new novel "Weird Eyes" serialized in "New God Ascension" will have a certain degree of linkage with his previous work "Weird Clouds". Anyway, fans of his previous novels are now ready to wait for his new work?"

"Isn't this too much of a cheat? Can it be done this way?"

"Why not? The ranking of the novel selection of "New God Ascension" depends on the number of votes given by readers at that time. Writing some works with the same world view that are related to the old book will definitely have a huge advantage."

"I mean this is unfair."

"Come on, if you think it's unfair, then other novelists can write like this. I'm just afraid that those people Old books are not very popular, and readers won't buy them if they write like this, right? So there is no unfairness. "

"Although Kang Ning is taking advantage of the ranking, it may not be useful. The new light novel writer who has risen in the Magic City in the past two years has always been a high school girl writer Jiang Jing. She is a little more popular than him. Sun Xiao and Chu Li in the Imperial City have similar results to Jiang Jing. These three have debuted for two years, and the highest sales of their works are 2.3 million, 2.27 million and 2.17 million copies per volume. In terms of the number of fans, Kang Ning is a little worse than these three. "

"I feel that the first-place work in this new god ascension should be Jiang Jing's science fiction novel "Cyberpunk. Sin Domain", Sun Xiao's novel "Wild Bones", and Chu Li's other-world adventure novel "Great Scientists in Another World". One of the three will take the lead.

"Then why won't the work that finally topped the list be "Yuan Qing" teacher's "To the Moon"? ”

The five or six people at the door of the bookstore were talking happily, and suddenly, a female voice came out next to them.

They turned around and saw Li Shaona who couldn't help talking.

"Yuan Qing?"

"Oh, you mean Yuan Qing from Nan Province, right? Well, indeed, I have roughly learned about the information of the authors participating in the New God Ascension this time. As of January, the sales of his single volume of Anohana exceeded 1.2 million copies. But..." A boy stopped halfway.

Li Shaona asked directly when he saw this.

"But what?"

"Although his Anohana has good sales and has a large number of fans in Longguo. But compared with Jiang Jing, Sun Xiao, and Chu Li, it is still not good enough. Besides. I watched the first episode of Anohana animation a few days ago, and it felt mediocre. I heard that this work is slow to heat up, and the plot will get better later, but. I don't think this author's style of work will have any advantages in serializing in "New God Ascension". "

Li Shaona returned home with a large copy of the novel journal "New God's Ascension".

She felt that she was actually a little crazy.

It was just a novelist in the Southern Province that she didn't even know.

But she was worried that her new work "To the Moon" would not rank well. She argued with those boys for half an hour, and finally left a sentence.

"When "To the Moon" becomes the most popular work of "New God's Ascension", I hope you won't be ashamed of your stupidity today."

Li Shaona sighed.

She understood a little bit how those star-chasers felt. Obviously she has not read the novel "To the Moon", but she has no reason to believe that "Yuan Qing" will not lose.

In other words, he didn't want to see Yuan Qing lose.

She opened the novel journal

Searched in the bibliography.

She first temporarily ignored Kang Ning's "Strange Eyes" in the Magic City, Jiang Jing's "Cyberpunk. Crime", and Chen Yi's "Intelligence Crisis".

"Wild Bones" by Sun Xiao in the Imperial Capital area. Chu's Li "The Great Scientist in a Different World" and Wang Yong's "The Elf in the Cloud".

Pay attention to these six works that were recognized as the favorites before the publication of the journal.

Li Shaona turned the page directly to page 356.

"To the Moon" written by Yuan Qing.

These big characters instantly made Li Shaona feel excited, and she began to read attentively.

At first, his expression was filled with excitement.

When looking at the middle part, it turns into thinking

Wait until you finish reading the first chapter.

Li Shaona raised her head in confusion.

John, creek, paper rabbit, house, lighthouse, tombstone, memory machine.

and his response at the end when Neil asks John why he wants to go to the moon.

"I don't know, I just have to go."

The plot of the novel in the first chapter of To the Moon actually has a lot of details, but these details are all foreshadowing.

Li Shaona honestly felt that after reading the first chapter...

ordinary.

She could feel that many places were foreshadowing, but

It can't be all foreshadowing. If you write it like this, you will suffer a lot.

"Teacher Yuanqing is writing slow novels again." Li Shaona sighed.

Because they have watched Unheard Flowers before, fans like Li Shaona will not make any decisions about "To the Moon" based on the plot of the first chapter.

Is this work excellent or mediocre?

Maybe we will have to wait until the last chapter is serialized to find out.

It’s just that this is very painful.

After thinking for a moment, Li Shaona scanned the QR code on her phone, and without thinking too much, she directly voted for "To the Moon" on the official website of "New Gods Ascend".

This vote, she did not vote for the work "To the Moon", but for "Yuanqing", the author of "Unknown Flower Names", which she admired.

She believed that someone who could write the work "Unheard Flower Name" would never write a boring work in the Shinshin Ranking selection event, which is extremely important for her light novel career and career development.

The launch of the journal "New Gods Ascend the Steps" still caused quite a stir in the Dragon Kingdom novel world.

However, a few days later, all the reader voting data for the 51 serial works in the journal were released.
