A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

"I won't mention the real names of those veteran authors. I'll talk about their pen names. They are all from the novel circle of Southern Province. If you like to read novels, you should have heard of their names. You know Nan Dou, she has cooperated with our book club for more than ten years and has created many popular works. She has created three novels with an average sales volume of more than 200,000 copies in these years."

"There is also "Tori", a light novel writer who has risen in recent years. In the past, she also created a novel with an average sales volume of more than 200,000 copies."

"And "Duoyu", used to cooperate more with Qingkong Book Club, but after the contract with Qingkong Book Club expired last year, he got in touch with an editor of our book club. Four years ago, he was also rated as one of the top ten popular novelists of the year in Southern Province. Of course, that was his highlight moment. Later, he was not as good as the previous year, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the number of his fans is still exaggerated."

Tang Yin slowly said the names of the novelists participating in the competition this time.

For a journal of the level of Red Maple, as long as many works are serialized there, as long as the popularity of the novel does not decline significantly, the novelist will continue to write the work until the end of time.

After all, as long as it can be serialized in this journal, it only takes a few hundred thousand words to write a novel a month, but the minimum remuneration is nearly 200,000 yuan. No one will be reluctant to pay, as long as they can write, they will definitely be willing to write.

But similarly, the novels serialized in this novel journal also have very strict indicators. As long as the popularity of the novel does not meet the indicator, the bookstore will immediately take action to cut the novel in half, or move it to other less popular journals for serialization. ♦♦  ♦♦

But anyway, there are three serialization spots in a week or two, no wonder it has attracted the attention of so many popular novelists in Southern Province.

"Don't be so nervous, although those people are well-known novelists in Southern Province. But you are not bad! The performance of your debut novels is actually very impressive." Tang Yin saw the solemn expressions of the two and said immediately.

"Like Xia Yan, your Youth Journey, if nothing unexpected happens, the average sales of each volume will exceed 500,000 copies. This kind of achievement. Among the dozen writers participating in this serial conference competition, you are also the first in terms of historical performance."

"And Song Lingjun, your Yesterday's Starlight is likely to achieve an average of 200,000 copies of novels per volume. This result is not bad compared to them."

Tang Yin said, and she was also feeling emotional.

Who are those people she mentioned before?

All of them have been active in the field of light novel creation in Nan Province in the past ten years.

All of these people have been active in this industry for many years to achieve such results.

But how long have Xia Yan and Song Lingjun debuted? It has only been a few months. At the serial conference, if the editors consider whose works can be published or not based on the author's historical performance, Xia Yan and Song Lingjun are not inferior to them at all in this regard, but have a considerable advantage.

Because geniuses who become famous with one book have their own filter halo, which book club does not like young geniuses?

Especially the average score of 500,000 for Xia Yan's Youth Journey volume, which is certain to be achieved.

To be honest, among the 14 novels serialized in the Red Maple journal, only one or two works have achieved this score after the release of the single volume. ♝♦ ♦♦

"But." Tang Yin changed the subject.

"Past achievements belong to the past."

"When the level of two novels is similar, the editorial department may consider the creator's historical achievements when deciding who can be published. If the quality of the novel is not up to standard and there is a clear gap compared with the competitor's works, then no matter how good the historical achievements are, it will be useless."

Tang Yin looked at the two.

"In the light novel industry, it is the readers who really decide your fate, not us editors. Readers don't look at how good the historical achievements of a certain author are."

"Understood." Song Lingjun said.

"I know." Xia Yan sat on the sofa and nodded.

"Then give me the manuscripts of your new novels for review."

Two months later, Xia Yan and Song Lingjun took out the game console again at Tang Yin's house.

But this time, for the first time, the two of them did not focus on the game, but on Tang Yin.

The two of them made many mistakes in the game PK, and lost their previous level of competition.

After all, Tang Yin was the first reader of their novel.

"Star Sea" is the name of Song Lingjun's new novel.

Like Yesterday's Starlight, this work is also a fantasy and love adventure novel, with a very similar theme.

The chosen girl, the starry sea in the dream, and the fragments that save the world.

Just looking at the elements contained in the novel, it is not too outstanding.

In fact, it is difficult for a novel to create a particularly innovative work in terms of theme or setting.

Over the years, those particularly interesting settings have long been created by predecessors and used in novels. The creators behind them are at most changing the skin and putting old wine in new bottles.

For example, the giant robot setting of Gundam in the parallel world has been used too much, so in Attack on Titan, the Gundam robots are replaced by the power of giants.

But if a novel wants to be interesting, it is important to work hard on the setting, but more important is the characterization.

And the setting of the novel "Starry Sea" can only be said to be somewhat novel.

But in terms of character creation, compared with Yesterday's Starry Sky, the improvement is too obvious.

After reading the first chapter of the novel, Tang Yin's nose felt sore.

She took a deep breath to catch her breath. In the first chapter, she killed two people, one was the heroine's mother, and the other was the heroine's friend Song Lingjun. You are really amazing.

But then, Tang Yin's heart was also stirred.

"This guy is really amazing. This is only her second novel, how can the characterization be so profound."

"And who did she learn this skill of breaking chapters from? How can it be so similar to Xia Yan?"

Tang Yin put away her impetuous emotions and continued to read.

Twenty minutes later, she finished reading the first three chapters of the novel "Star Sea".

After thinking for a minute, she breathed a sigh of relief.

A word emerged in her mind!

Stable!

The setting, plot, rhythm, and character creation all made her eyes light up.

If you can still see some obviously immature plots in the novel Yesterday's Starlight, which only newcomers would make mistakes.

Then in this novel, Tang Yin almost can't notice it.

Song Lingjun read the comments on the official website during the serialization of the novel.

No one is born with knowledge, and the same is true for writing novels. Some pitfalls are only known after they are written, and readers don’t like them.

But a talented person like her only needs a little negative feedback from readers to draw inferences and write a plot that people can be addicted to at first sight.

Unlike Xia Yan, she made several books of reading and writing notes based on reader feedback during the serialization of Yesterday’s Starlight.

But from Tang Yin’s perspective, she was really surprised by her growth.

Song Lingjun, she has only been in the industry for four or five months.

Is this a true light novel genius?

Soon, Tang Yin started to read the new novel that Xia Yan brought over without stopping.

“We still don’t know the name of the flower we saw that day!”

Tang Yin blinked.

What is this book title?

Is it funny?

Chapter 2 will be later
