The Era of the Second Element of the Literary Girl

Light Literature Publishing House.

After the first volume of Steins;Gate was released...

Only three days have passed.

Cen Ying, the new editor-in-chief of Light Literature, found Chen Yulan.

"What's wrong, Editor-in-Chief Cen?" Chen Yulan asked.

As the editor-in-charge of the most popular light novelist in the industry, even though she was approached by the editor-in-chief, she is not at all cowardly. In fact, every time she was called over by the editor-in-chief, she was very apprehensive, as trembling as if she had deserted in class and was discovered by the dean.

but!

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, everything has changed!

Now she is like the kind of super academic who is the first in the grade every time she takes the exam. Even if she is called by the dean, she always holds her head up high.

Similarly, Chen Yulan has to admit that she has been a little swollen recently, and she doesn't bow her head when looking at her colleagues, and dares to look at people with her nostrils. If you think about it carefully, it is likely that she was influenced by Li Xiaoci. Yes... yes, it's all her fault!

"The grades of Mo Shao's new book seem to have dropped a bit." Cen Ying looked worried.

In the past, the first-week sales of the first volume of Moshao's new book were basically better than the first volume of the old book. After all, the popularity is slowly accumulating, and the later works are all stepping on the shoulders of giants.

However, "Steins;Gate" seems to be different this time. Not only did the initial sales not increase, but it even dropped by nearly 20% compared to CL's first volume. This is already a serious situation. Mo Shao is one of the pillar writers of light literature, and "Stones Gate" is still her transformational work, so editor-in-chief Cen is naturally concerned.

in addition……

Jumping from love to science fiction all of a sudden, this span is simply too big, and it is easy to get caught. Although the editor-in-chief Cen knows that Mo Shao has no eggs, he can't help but feel that, judging from the results of Shitoumen's first move, it is obviously a A little bit of rushing.

Hearing what Editor-in-Chief Cen said...

Chen Yulan also had to admit that this was the truth, but subconsciously excused Li Xiaoci: "It is true that the decline is a bit steep, but after all, it is a transformation, and losing fans to a certain extent is acceptable."

"I've read the first volume of Shitoumen, and I think you can persuade Mo Shao to change the plot. Isn't she the best at writing about the relationship between men and women? You can let her spend more time writing Rintaro Okabe and Makise The love story between Hong Liqi, otherwise, Dudulu is fine, and even I think it is very good! If the male lead and Sulhuako fall in love, it will be the male lead with the second disease and the cute girl Da Diao It’s a love story, it’s really... oh yeah... cough cough! I’m just talking about it.” Editor-in-chief Cen paused, and after seeing Chen Yulan’s eyes looking at garbage, he changed the subject and said, “Anyway, you can let Moshao should write more about what she is good at, as for the plot, what kind of plot do you want, her readers will not pay attention to ibn5100, or the world line theory?"

Chen Yulan continued to look at her boss with trashy eyes: "Oh."

"Don't be 'oh', you have to stop Young Master Mo now, and don't let her go on the wrong path." Editor-in-Chief Cen coughed.

As an experienced editor, he is naturally very aware of the fate of a light novelist who hastily transformed. Even the old man Yin Zuwen, who was famous for "writing on any subject", threw a few books on the street because of changing the subject randomly, not to mention A little girl like Mo Shao, who has achieved such an achievement at a young age, is arrogant and arrogant, and she is afraid that things will easily go wrong... Maybe she just jumped into Xinnippori? Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions now.

Hi~ I really am as farsighted as ever!

"Then I'll go back and talk to her." Chen Yulan pondered for a moment, but nodded.

She felt that what editor-in-chief Cen said was not unreasonable, and the first volume of Shitoumen was indeed a bit boring. Many readers would buy the first volume of Shitoumen, not because they liked it, but simply because the author was Mo Shao.

then……

After coming to Li Xiaoci's house and talking about Editor-in-Chief Cen's suggestion...

Li Xiaoci raised her hand in protest angrily, "I refuse!"

Really,

Shitoumen is a plot direction, is it written as a love comedy? What a joke, there is not so much space to spend pen and ink, okay!

Chen Yulan was not surprised by Li Xiaoci's objection.

Since this guy became a god in a book, Chen Yulan will no longer give suggestions to the content written by this guy. The main thing is to proofread typos and point out some omissions and bugs in details. The general direction of the whole plot basically does not change. Restrict.

"Then you really guarantee that the readers of the future plot will be satisfied?" Chen Yulan couldn't help pinching her left and right cheeks with a serious expression.

"Hey, isn't this nonsense!" Li Xiaoci shook her head, and Daimao also swayed, "Why did you ignore the most important information, it hurts me so much."

"... What key information?"

"I'm a genius, isn't this the key information?"

"roll!"

...

late February.

Less than a week later, volume two of Steins;Gate is out.

on weibo.

"Fucking old thief is so hardworking!"

"With this hand speed, can you beat other writers?"

"The old thief is such a quick shooter. I feel sorry for his girlfriend. Can I be satisfied at night?"

"No, according to my many years of experience, most people with such fast hands don't have girlfriends, so they can practice such unicorn arms."

On the reader's side, after praising Mo Shao's update speed, they also bought the second volume of Stone Gate very soon.

Let’s just say, the plot of the first volume is a bit boring compared to Mo Shao’s previous love novels, and it’s also full of unexplained foreshadowing and explanations of various time machine theories, which makes many people feel dizzy after reading it. Sleep, but, after all, there are some readers who are interested in the airwaves.

For example, some people especially like Okabe Rintaro's second-year-old disease, some people like the assistant's long black silk legs, some people like the cuteness of the truth, and some people like the big chirping of Iwakako ...In addition, there are word-of-mouth left by the early works, even those who are not on the airwaves, will continue to support them with the feeling of "Mo Shao will never let me down".

The second volume is the part where Okabe and his assistant finally moved ibn5100 to the research institute. Starting from this volume, the hero and others cracked the documents of the sern organization through ibn5100, and learned that this terrible organization is also manufacturing time machines, and even reached the level of human experimentation, but human beings cannot withstand the pressure of black hole collapse , will be squeezed into green jelly after time travel. Afterwards, the hero and the others used the simple time machine of the "telephone microwave" to send text messages to the past after testing, thus changing the present. Once the text message is successfully sent, the world line will change, except for the hero. No one outside will retain the memory.

Light Novels Forum.

"Assistant, Dudulu, Phyllis Meow, Su Huazi, I want them all!"

"So in the next volume, will Su Hanako be able to become a girl?"

"If I really become a girl, I'll go bankrupt and buy shares of Liuhuazi!"

"What kind of girl do you want! I think it's only cute if there is a big chirping Iwakako! If I really turn into a girl later, I will give up the book!"

"That's a good point! I deeply believe that a real man should be a man!"

"But the second volume is still boring."

"Hey! I feel that Mo Shao is not suitable for writing sci-fi themes? The theme of time travel is so interesting, I just didn't see what is so good about Shitoumen."

"Actually, Mo Shao has made some breakthroughs... For example, this book perfectly integrates the hypnotic effect into it. After reading it for a while, it can make me fall asleep peacefully. It works better than sleeping pills. It's amazing."

"Brother, you are a high-level black..."

"Then what... I think I can hold another roll."

"Farewell, farewell, I can't take it anymore, this plot is too boring, I would rather watch Baixue's stomach medicine plot, and I would rather follow our brother Xun and shout Dongma Xiaosan, than be so drowsy. This The reading experience is terrible."

"It's better to let Okabe and the assistant fall in love quickly. Now the only motivation that supports me to watch is the assistant and Dudulu's character design."

Another person with the id "My sister can't be so cute" posted: "I just want to know that a technical super high-end fat house like Tongzi can't have a girlfriend? Looking at the brooch Hug left and right, and then look at Tongzi, what did our Fat House do wrong!"

"breathe."

"breathe."

"breathe."

"breathe."

Liu Along: "..." His heart was pierced.

...

There was a lot of discussion on the forum.

How should I put it, compared to when the first volume was released, there are obviously a lot more people complaining about the boring plot in the second volume. The patience of fans has a limit. After reading the first volume, I was very disappointed. Many fans could endure the boredom and continue to support the second volume. However, the plot of the second volume did not explode at all. The first volume is as boring and boring as the first volume, so it will inevitably be complained about.

Li Xiaoci here...

"Are you sure that if you continue to go your own way like this, the readers will finally accept it?" Chen Yulan said on QQ.

After reading the manuscript of the second volume, Chen Yulan felt that it would not be good to go on like this. After all, she is both an editor and a reader. Whether it is from the editor's perspective or the reader's perspective, she can feel the boringness of the second volume. It was on par with the first volume, so her feeling at the time was, can the readers of this second volume really be satisfied?

However, in view of the guy's full confidence in this work, and the experience of being slapped in the face by her many times, in order to avoid being slapped in the face, Chen Yulan decided to be witty and read the second volume of the manuscript Didn't say anything. However, Chen Yulan felt something was wrong until she discovered the changes in the background sales data and the feedback from readers.

That's right!

Even if this guy is locked up in a small dark room, she will be forced to modify the plot of the next volume according to the market trend!

Readers want cute elements and charming house elements, just give them!

Why should we struggle with sales?

"What's the hurry?" Li Xiaoci moaned.

"Don't talk about comparing the sales of your previous works, even if you compare the sales of new books of top light novelists in the same period horizontally, you are not the first, or even the second! Now some readers are mocking you. You know that Jiang Lang is exhausted. What!" Chen Yulan hated that iron cannot be made into steel.

"Hey, let them make fun of it. Believe it or not, wait for my next volume... No, when the next volume is released, they will show you what is called face-changing in Sichuan opera."

"What, the next volume? You mean your next volume will still be boring?" Chen Yulan suddenly realized, "Wait! So you also know that your two volumes are boring?"

"Of course I know."

"Then you still write like that!!!"

"Nonsense, can I be the same as ordinary writers?"

"Come on, you... Do you know that if your next volume is still so boring, let alone sales, even your regular readers will turn away."

"Oh, don't worry, young people these days really have no patience at all... Wait for another volume! When the fourth volume is released, the more disappointed readers will be, the greater the surprise will be!"

"Really?" Chen Yulan asked suspiciously. I can’t blame her for not trusting her. After all, it’s Li Xiaoci’s first transition to writing sci-fi light novels. He even boasted when he entered an unfamiliar field. Moreover, this guy's self-expansion has become normal, and now Chen Yulan can't judge whether she is telling the truth or over-inflated... I feel that the probability of over-inflation is relatively high.

"I lied to you like a puppy... No, I lied to you and I let you rape me! The kind that doesn't resist!"

"Roll as far as you want me."
