I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 5 Testing the Waters Recommendations
"Crackling..."

There was a bang on the keyboard, and it was another day.

It may be writing about what Ji Zhuo is good at,
The long foreshadowing, the dead button details, the most important thing is that you don't have to worry about hitting the street.

All you want is to hit the street!

Ji Zhuo has written things very smoothly these two days. This feeling is like eating watermelon in summer and drinking milk tea in winter, watching a coin fall from someone’s pocket, rolling and rolling for a long time, and finally fell into the sewer. Two words, smooth.

"...Chapter 10 has cheats, so it shouldn't be a problem. I haven't left after reading the first nine chapters, and it's useless to procrastinate... They all say the rule of three chapters, am I unstable?"

"...Goldfinger made him smaller so that it looks real. It's definitely not that I want to make people look uncomfortable... You are right, the system."

Today's codeword is finishing, Ji Zhuo is coding smoothly and happily, while muttering to the system.

The system naturally ignored him and gave no feedback.

"...Phew, the writing is so smooth, maybe it will really catch fire..."

Grinning and taking a sip of the poisoned milk, Ji Zhuo ended today's coding work.

Could it be a fire? Impossible.

The declining fairy tale theme, the slow writing style with dead button details, the golden finger that only appeared in Chapter 10, and the comprehension novels do not appear now.

A eunuch posted a book with three books, the editor shook his head after reading it, and the black fans sighed after reading it.

Can this fire?
My 30 incentive money!Steady.

Nodding in satisfaction, Ji Zhuo opened up the author's background with ease.

First change the chapters coded today by three chapters.

If it wasn't for worrying about the 'beneficial' effect of updating too quickly, he would have prepared to send out all the five chapters coded today.

What is the new issue?who cares!
After posting the update, today it is updated to Chapter 8. Ji Zhuo maintains the 'excellent tradition' of slow progress of the plot, and the protagonist and his little friends are harvested as disciples only when the plot reaches the end.

If you change to a recent novel website, don’t use fast-paced novels, the first wave of climax plots will be over here.

Ok.stable!

Ji Zhuo was satisfied, and with anticipation, he switched back to the main interface of the writer's background.

one look.

2 favorites, 3 recommendations, and zero other data.

There is actually a new addition to the collection, maybe the editor or someone missed it.

But it's okay, it's the second day of the new book, and it's only two in my collection, so I don't rush to grandma's house.

It perfectly reproduces the journey of his last book.

Sure enough, a novel like this one that I can write very smoothly must be a hit!
Ji Zhuo looked at the data and was very happy.

But inexplicably, there is still a sense of frustration.

But it doesn't matter, the monthly incentive of 30 must be stable.

How to spend 30...

Ok?
Why did the recommended votes increase?

Someone actually voted for me?
No, we have to guard against the passing of time!

Ji Zhuo searched carefully, but there was nothing to find, only a voting record.

"Killing Oni-chan voted three recommendation votes for 'Mortal Cultivation'?"

Then, there were more comments in the comment area.

"...I read the book, it's okay, but it's a bit slow. There were only five chapters updated the day before. Is the dog author going to get better?" ——Beating O'Neill sauce to death.

No, you looked aggressive and full of resentment yesterday.

Why did you change your tone today, you black fan, can you do it, you have to stand up!
Ji Zhuo was a little angry, angry that his black fans betrayed their beliefs and voted for him!
"Coincidence in the era: no good, today there will be three changes, and tomorrow there will be one change."

This is the name of the author of his trumpet. After pressing the keyboard for a while, he went back angrily.

Then I am ready to close the author background,

Refresh it easily.

The data recommended for favorites has not changed, but the 'Kill O'Neill Sauce' has returned.

Ji Zhuo felt a little helpless.

Big Brother, Big Sister?How free are you? You live on a novel website, right?

"Kill O'Neill sauce: Three shifts today? The author, your new book issue is so fast, will it affect your grades?"

hehe……

Ji Zhuo was almost moved to tears, and sneered in emotion.

Call the author a dog behind his back, and call the author Da Da in person.

You are a reader!Do you want to be so humble.

Return message?
Go back and add heat to the comment area.

never mind,

Anyway, it's just such a living reader, so it doesn't matter.

Buckle up the notebook,
Ji Zhuo thought about the 30 that he will get in the near future,

Gradually he became happy again, raised his head, and showed some smiles on his face facing the ceiling from time to time,
Laughing a little bit from ear to ear.

……

"Boom..."

It's not that the system is ringing, the penguin chat is ringing.

The avatar is a message from a contact of a Two-dimensional girl eating watermelon.

"30 per second: I'm so pissed off! That dog author won't update again! Fuhuhu.jpg."

Ji Zhuo, who was looking at the ceiling and thinking about how to spend money, looked down at the message from '30 per second'.

The old man couldn't help but blush, even though he was the only one in the room, he couldn't stop coughing dryly.

Some things are naturally not so coincidental, and there must be a reason for all coincidences.

"30 per second: It's the dog author you recommended to me before, called 'Clumsy and Uncommon', I'm so pissed off! Can't it be earlier or later if it's unfinished, just stuck in the eunuch of the climax. Ah ah ah #crazy !"

Ji Zhuo's old face turned red again.

This '30 per second' is a girl he met in another city, named Yun Qingmu.

Frequent users of various novel websites, broken station level [-] users, experienced old Two-dimensional.

When she asked him for directions, he suggested that she turn on the navigation.

One covets the beauty of others, and the other covets other people's bodies, so it is logical to add the Penguin number.

But after getting to know her, Ji Zhuo didn't chat with her much on weekdays.

It's really that the two people's schedules are not compatible, or Ji Zhuo's schedule is not compatible with most people.

Ji Zhuo usually gets up in the afternoon and finishes work at night.Eat the first meal of the day at seven o'clock in the evening.

The darker the sky, the more awake Ji Zhuo became.

What are you talking about.

In the middle of the night, at four o'clock in the morning, there were only a few authors in the group who were still racing in the water.

However, Ji Zhuo's author account of "Zhuobufan" was recommended by Ji Zhuo to Yun Qingmu.

Of course, it didn't say that the author of the dog was himself.

It is really shameful for an acquaintance to read one's own novel, and what is even more shameful is that an acquaintance asks other acquaintances to read it together and discuss it in front of oneself.

Who can stand this.

"Chaos doesn't count the years:...Maybe it's something going on in that dog's author's room, maybe it's him moving, getting married, taking the kindergarten graduation exam?"

Thinking about it, Ji Zhuo still blushed, and then made up a nonsense and sent it.

"30 per second: Is it possible to be caught whoring, to cut hemorrhoids, to get married again, and to have a third child?

30 per second: I think he is a eunuch by nature, dog author!
Chaos does not count the years: Well...it is possible.

30 per second: Hmm...is there anything else the author recommends?Do you have any novel recommendations recently?Didn't you say that you also write novels before, and recommend your book to me.

Chaos does not record the year: ...what I wrote is not suitable for you to read. "

Why do people always want to add readers to me? My new book on a small account has been released, can I tell you!
That's not another reader. If you are as tireless as that 'black fan', wouldn't I add a little more danger.

"30 per second: Little Liu Bei?

Chaos knows no age:  …

Chaos does not count the years: who do you look down on! ...Fantasy novels must be the most aggressive kind.

30 per second: ...Don't be so sad and self-pitying, self-deprecating, maybe this book will become popular, not big or small? "

stop!stop!
Shut up now.I can't hear that now.

"30 per second: ... You didn't have any recommendations, so I looked for novels to read. I haven't read any new ones recently. Yawn.jpg."

"Chaos doesn't count the years: yes."

……

"...[Starting Novels]: Hello, dear author, your contract has been signed, you can go to the author's background to download and print the relevant contract.

You have completed the electronic signing process, and there is no need to mail the contract. "

At [-] o'clock in the evening, lying on the sofa in the house, Ji Zhuo saw this text message from Shiyue Novel.com, and he could only say that the times are improving.

Before putting it away, he had to spend more than ten or twenty yuan to print and send the contract.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, so although 30 is not far away, we can't waste the income from full attendance after it is put on the shelves.

The system also requires the amount of updates, and the website also requires it. This is not a job that earns two jobs.

what is this.

This is a win-win situation.

Just had dinner, the first meal of the day.

Ji Zhuo was sinking on the sofa at the moment, a little lazy, half-shrugged and rolled his eyelids, looked at the signing text message and yawned.

This is the first novel website, which is the novel website where Ji Zhuo is now.

It occupies about 50.00% of the entire online novel market, and the remaining 40.00% is eaten by many websites.

Although Siyue novels occupy the leading position, it has not yet formed a monopoly and monopoly.

After each quarter, the market share of various novel websites, including Shiyue Novels, still fluctuates somewhat.

In order to rob readers and rob authors, various novel websites sometimes have their brains typed out.

In order to rob authors, small websites crazily seize the market by giving away profits, and large websites also pour funds like crazy in order to retain authors and set their own standards.

It was in this situation that Ji Zhuo fell into the trap of novels.

As the author, Ji Zhuo naturally wished that these websites would hit harder and last longer.

It is best to keep fighting, and no one can monopolize it, which is good for both readers and authors.

But now that there is a system, and there is an incentive money that can be expected in the future, Ji Zhuo doesn't care anymore.

At most, it's more than two-handed full-time by the way.

"……Um……"

Thinking of this, Ji Zhuo suddenly remembered something.

The system said that the goal of this issue is to achieve an average subscription of [-] or the same income for novels.

But the novel website can earn income by putting novels on the shelves at least in January.

Then my first one, I didn't earn 30 in vain?
Ji Zhuo's eyes lit up, he got up from the sofa, and carefully studied the system's instructions.

Then, Ji Zhuo found a relevant explanation.

"...For example, online novels, within the period before the release, judge according to the growth trend of collection and other data, such as judging from the growth trend of relevant data in the current month, it is very likely that after the release, it will not be possible to obtain the income that meets the target.

During the period when it is not on the shelves, the host will also be rewarded with incentive money.Hosts are encouraged to continue creating. "

"If the work is directly published, it will start directly from the time of publication and sales, which is the start time of the current period."

"Oh, I still have to pounce."

Ji Zhuo took a look, then shrunk down on the sofa again, and continued to slump lazily on the sofa.

……

On the other side, the editorial department of Shiyue novels is far away in the magic city.

A group of editors are still working overtime and meeting in the conference room.

"...In the most recent quarter, the data on our novel website dropped significantly.

One is that other websites are so fierce in robbing readers and authors that they frantically pour out their publicity funds, and the advertisements are overwhelming.

The second one is that the novels in various categories on our website are indeed somewhat weak recently.The homogenization is serious, and there are not many surprising works.

There is even a phenomenon of going against the trend. In the past, other websites followed the popularity of our website, but now our website has a large number of novels that follow the trend of other websites.

This is actually what affects us the most.The periodical weakness of various categories of novels is not a big problem. As long as we occupy the mainstream position, we will be able to pass this stage sooner or later.

After all, an explosive novel that can attract trends sometimes needs a flash of inspiration from a certain author.

But now this kind of anti-following trend really affects the authority of our "rules" and makes a lot of readers have a bad tendency to feel that we are not much different from other websites and lose our uniqueness. The deadliest..."

The editor-in-chief of the website in front was talking, then raised his hand and rubbed his forehead,

The editors in charge of the editorial groups sitting in the two rows of the conference table below were all facing the laptops in front of them, and no one spoke.

"For this point, everyone is directly in contact with the author under him. If you have any ideas about this predicament, please tell us...you can do it."

The editor-in-chief pressed his forehead, and then casually pointed to an editor in the editorial team.

"...Boss, just like what you said, a novel that is popular and can lead the popularity still needs a flash of inspiration from a certain author. At this point, we are just editors, and we can do very little. When this book comes out, find out what you can..."

The editor over there is talking again,
Sitting here, Ji Zhuo's editor-in-charge of 'Brush and Ink' listened,

While facing the backstage of the editor, looking at the situation of some of his authors' new books, he couldn't help shaking his head,
In addition to the books of the old gods under his hands recently, it is not bad to have old readers to support the results.

The results of other authors' books are somewhat tepid.

Scrolling down further, the pen and ink saw the book "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".

He still has an impression of this book, and it was posted by an old author under him.

Take a look, collect three, recommend four tickets,

Then click into the chapters updated today, and take a rough look,

Then he sighed,

This pace is too slow, it really takes ten chapters to get cheats?

Now everyone is very impetuous, who has the patience to read so many foreshadowing, slow-heated novels.

It is better to say that you are using novels to vent your emotions than reading novels.

Thinking about it, pen and ink felt a bit of a headache.

He still has a little impression of the author under him, and the first few books are still good.

It doesn't matter how good the writing is, in online novels, it is enough to be able to explain things clearly.

The storyline is also okay.

Just the last few books, really...

It may be that I think too much.

Rubbing his temples, he pressed the pen and ink keyboard and switched to the Penguin chat interface.

"Editor: I see that the signing status of your new book has changed. I will arrange a test for you this week?"

……

inside the house,

Ji Zhuo, who was slumped on the sofa, saw the editor's news,
Subconsciously, the laziness faded a little, and then took a closer look.

Is this testing the waters?The new book is less than [-] words.

The so-called test water push is a recommendation to test the water, a recommendation that must be given after the novel is signed.

There is no doubt about the significance, if after the first recommendation, all the grades of the novel are not good, then naturally there will be no next one.

Unless you don't recommend it later, the data can still fly into the sky.

But is it possible?impossible!
The Shiyue Novel website now has hundreds of thousands of books in its library.Once there are no recommendations, how many people can find the book?

Therefore, the first recommended data is very critical.

Thinking about it, Ji Zhuo's eyes lit up.

The first recommendation is naturally not the sooner the better.

It's too early, and the word count is too small, unless you start with a really catchy one.

Otherwise, few people are willing to click in and watch, and few people will stay.

It seems that the editor is really not optimistic about his book.

So I want him to recognize the reality as soon as possible and open a new book as soon as possible.

A smile corrupted by money appeared on Ji Zhuo's face.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Okay, boss, I will update it steadily! Don't worry."

Quickly tapped the screen a few times and sent it.

"Editor: Hmm."

Look at the short words of the editor.

Ji Zhuo's face became even happier.

Edit This is all given up, isn't this going home?

Hahaha.

Ji Zhuo seemed to have thought of it all.

In the recommendation of testing the waters, one favorite is added in an hour, and then one is quickly dropped.

Can't help laughing happily.

　The dog author can't compare with the protagonist,

　　No system.So I still ask for a ticket, a monthly ticket or something.

　　Although our book is not yet on the shelves, there is no monthly subscription.

　　But you can vote for me by subscribing to the monthly tickets given by other authors' novels.

　　The dog author is so shameless.
