A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

On the Liuli Book Club's forum, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun were marketed by the book club before, and the results of these two people in this issue naturally attracted the attention of many book fans.

Although there are only a dozen or so novels serialized in the Liuli Journal, the first serialization is ranked seventh, which is indeed a rare statistic.

Fans of Xia Yan and Song Lingyun are also discussing various things on the forum at this time.

"These two, one first and the other seventh, are outrageous."

"Mr. Yuanqing did it on purpose. He didn't reach the summit sooner or later, but he did it in the serialization of Song Lingyun's new novel. This is too bad."

"Now Song Lingyun is under a lot of pressure. During the interviews and publicity, we all target Mr. Yuanqing. Now Mr. Yuanqing has reached the top of Liuli"

"This is so interesting! Speaking of Longguo novels, there haven't been any newcomers of any interest in seven or eight years. Every year, No. 1 in the selection of the Emperor Star Award, they are always the faces of those authors. annoyed."

"Speaking of the Emperor Star Award, I still remember Mr. Yuanqing saying that the next time he stands on this stage, he will aim for the first place. Judging from the current situation, I feel that his statement is likely to be realized. Sword Art Online is now It’s so popular, by the end of this year, when the Emperor Star Awards are selected in March and April next year, I don’t know who can compete with this novel.”

"One thing to say, are there any new serialized light novels in Dragon Kingdom this year that are more popular than Sword Art Online?"

"How could there be! Crimson Abyss has been serialized for four or five years, and the average sales volume of each volume is 800 million. The Crimson Abyss has been put down by Sword Art Online, and can only be ranked second in the "Liu Li" journal. How will the new serialized novels this year compete with Sword Art Online?"

"That's right, do you know the gold content of "Liu Li"? It's one of the three major journals in the light novel world! No matter what you say, the novels that reach the top must be able to be listed in the Longguo light novel serial market." Only those who have the top four popularity can do it. This level of popularity usually takes two or three years to accumulate. Sword Art Online’s speed of reaching the top in just a few months of serialization is already an unprecedented record in the Dragon Kingdom novel circle. .”

"Looking at it this way, Mr. Yuanqing is really fierce. The first letter D was serialized in the Beizhou Journal, and it reached the top within a few months. The serialization of Sword Art Online in the Liuli Journal is also the same situation. It's outrageous."

"His current influence, is there anyone in the Two-dimensional industry stronger than him?"

"Although Teacher Yuanqing is very powerful, don't be so embarrassing. Those seniors in the Two-dimensional world in Longguo more than ten years ago, some of them created four or five popular comics and light novels are still alive! Shinon In terms of comprehensive influence, those seniors are still quite strong, but Mr. Yuanqing is only 19 years old now. 19 years old, do you know what this concept is?"

"At the age of 19, he is at the top of the comics and novels industry. Given him a few more years, I don't know how far Mr. Yuanqing will grow."

"So, up to now, whoever has more influence and fans has more influence and number of fans, Mr. Yuanqing or the old thief who is a warrior of love."

"I feel like the Warrior of Love has a great status in the animation industry, but Mr. Yuanqing has made great achievements in the comics and light novel industries and has many works. Maybe all the fans attracted by Mr. Yuanqing's works are integrated. It should be able to compete with the old thief who is a warrior of love."

"That's pretty much the same. Moyuan is the only popular in the animation industry. Initial D and Sword Art Online are the top in the industry. But in terms of overall influence, the two should be about the same now. Anyway, I read about the relationship between the two on the Jiuxiao Forum. The number of discussion posts is basically the same. However, when the serialization time of Initial D and Sword Art Online is longer, or after the two works are animated, I am afraid it will be different. We have all seen the peak popularity of Magic Circle, but Sword Art Online and Sword Art Online Initial D, if the series continues, who knows what unexpected plot will appear in the future, making the work so popular again?"

"But in April next year, the warrior of love and the old thief will also have a new animation broadcast! In terms of the number of works, the warrior of love will catch up."

"It's a pity that these two are not competitors in the same sub-sector. Although novels, animation and manga are closely related, there are still differences. Otherwise, I would really like to see the warrior of love fighting Genqing teacher."

The popularity of Sword Art Online reached the top, which caused a huge shock in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry.

Not only fans have been discussing this matter for several days, but the news media has also continued to report on it.

After all, although the novel authors who reached the top of the three major periodicals of Longguo are rare, the order of these works will always change after a period of time.

But it is indeed an exaggeration to achieve the first place in the top journals in the novel and comics industry in one year.

The first ten days of December passed quietly.

In mid-December, the second volume of Initial D comics was officially released
The second volume, compared to the 480 million sales in the first week of the first volume, the sales data of a total sales of 1300 million in a month is even more exaggerated.

Initial D volume 529's first week sales are fixed at [-] million copies
Xia Yan is now talking about publicity resources, and Beizhou Comics Club and Liuli Book Club are working together, which can be called the only one in the industry.

In terms of his image as a creator, he is also a handsome guy.

As for the quality of the works, that is the strongest point in Xia Yan's strengths.

Under such circumstances, the rise of Initial D's fame has also attracted a huge number of passer-by fans to buy the booklet.

But now, Xia Yan has rejected unnecessary promotional activities for his works.

In the early days of the work, it was okay to hold these activities, but now, after the popularity of the two works has accumulated, I will actively participate in various interviews and signing activities arranged by the book club and comic club, anyway, that’s it.

So in mid-December, it was rare for Xia Yan to have some leisure time.

As time entered deep winter, the Goose Feather Gang’s university slowly fell outside the window, and the maple tree outside the yard was covered in a layer of plain white snow. Xia Yan looked at the snow outside the house in a daze while holding hot tea.

In less than ten days, it will be another New Year.

Speaking of which, it has been three years since he entered the novel world.

Think back to the past three years.
Xia Yan sighed lightly.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded from behind.

Xia Yan turned around and saw Song Lingyun who was also holding a cup of hot tea.

"It's nothing, just a little sentimental." Xia Yan laughed.

"Although I have achieved decent results in the field of Longguo animation, comics, light novels, um, and the film industry, but in the past three years, I have spent almost all of my time writing novels, making animations and Create comics."

"To be honest, the protagonists in my novel have their own wonderful lives, but it's me. My adolescence is all about starting a business."

"Isn't that good?" Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan with clear eyes.

"You can't say it's not good. But in a word, let me use an example. You have made a lot of money writing novels for a few years." Xia Yan asked Song Lingyun.

"Well, the single volume of the last novel, The Hidden Blade, sold well. There are six volumes in total, and the average sales volume of each volume is about 400 million copies. The combined royalties for the single volume and serial manuscripts I received are also 2000 million." Song Lingyun said.

"Then if you don't have time to spend the money you have spent so hard to earn, it will feel useless. I don't mean that there is something wrong with my creation, I mean, I am too invested in it." Xia Yan laughed .

"And it's not just me, including you, Song Lingyun, Mo Ran, and Tang Yin. The four of us can come together, perhaps because we have something in common. But there must be a problem. Too much dedication to career , ignoring the others."

"Other?" Song Lingyun asked.

"Well, for example." Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun.

"Do you have friends?"

Song Lingyun shook his head.

"By the way, me too." Xia Yan said.

"I asked Mo Ran, and she is the same. She has basically been in the stage of a lone ranger since she drew the initial D comics. I won't say more about Tang Yin. We are the only three of her friends."

"Is this not good? My friend, why do you need so much?" Song Lingyun paused and said.

"People's time is limited, and the only way to succeed is to devote the limited time to the things you are most interested in. Useless social interaction is equivalent to wasting life."

"That's right. But...for example, you have to fall in love once at least in adolescence, otherwise, like Tang Yin, she will study when she recalls her college career in the future. And I don't want to recall my college life in the future. All my college life was spent writing novels, drawing comics, and making animations." Xia Sheng looked at the snow falling under the moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Falling in love" Song Lingyun's eyes moved slightly upon hearing this.

"Xia Yan, do you have someone you like?"

"No." Xia Yan turned his head and said.

"Well, that's it." Song Lingyun thought for a while after hearing this.

"Then, for example, if you have the idea of ​​falling in love, aren't there two people in this room, Mo Ran and Tang Yin? They are both excellent girls, right? Why don't you take action?"

"Why did you say the same thing as Tang Yin!" Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun strangely.

"For example, even though you live in a villa with me, do you have a certain moment when you have the idea of ​​wanting to associate with me? We are so familiar, friends and partners who have known each other since high school, if this happens Isn't it embarrassing to think about it, and "

Song Lingyun interrupted Xia Yan.

"How do you know. What am I thinking?"

"Why is it so arbitrarily determined that I have never thought about dating you in this way?"

"Huh?" Xia Yan was taken aback when he heard the words, and was stunned for ten seconds.

"What do you mean?" Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun's cold and beautiful face.

"Right. You're not a roundworm. How do you know what I'm thinking? Just a word from me made you doubt my cognition." Song Lingyun said softly.

"Did you just think, "Song Lingyun" said that, did he have a crush on you, Xia Yan, and then hinted at you through such words?"

"." Xia Yan.

To be honest, he really thought so.

But looking at Song Lingyun's calm expression, it seems that she deliberately misled him just now.

Xia Yan was stunned, as if it was the same last time, when Xia Yan and Tang Yin talked about this topic, Tang Yin also ended the topic with a similar joke.

Do girls like this?
Song Lingyun looked at Xia Yan's expression, and he probably guessed what was going on in his heart.

"What a fool"

After whispering a few words in a weak voice, Song Lingyun thought for a while, then took a deep breath and asked Xia Yan.

"Besides, many couples start as friends. I just refuted your point of view. Even if you, me, and Tang Yin have known each other for a long time, are classmates in high school, and are partners. Could it be that you can't have other feelings? For example, for example, Sister Tang Yin has been with you for a long time, and after a long time, she fell in love with you suddenly, this kind of thing is normal."

Xia Yan heard that, although she felt a little strange, she also felt that what she said made sense.

"But Xia Yan, since you have the idea of ​​falling in love, do you want to try it?"

"Try what?" Xia Yan asked.

"For example, you try to chase the girls around you, um. For example, the female classmates in our class, or the girls around you"

The girls around?
Isn't that the other three roommates in this villa?

Xia Yan felt that the topic had come around again.

Seeing Xia Yan's expression of looking up at the ceiling, Song Lingyun suddenly became a little angry. This guy really is, and he doesn't listen to the meaning behind it at all. .

"Anyway, whoever you think is the most attractive around you, you go to contact and communicate with whoever you are." Song Lingyun said, but his tone emphasized the side.

Xia Yan felt thoughtful when he heard the words.
"I understand."

Seeing Xia Yan's expression, Song Lingyun suddenly became flustered.

I asked one more question.

"What do you understand?"

"Well, I..." Xia Yan was about to say something, but shut up right away.

"It's a secret."

Xia Yan's mind became very clear when Song Lingyun said who you think is the most attractive, not whether Xia Yan has someone he likes.

In the last week of December, the latest issue of Sword Art Online was serialized.

In the previous two weeks of plot serialization, it laid the groundwork and described the battle plot between the leader and the protagonist Li Tongren in detail.

And this plot also makes readers feel very confused.

Because in their eyes, the invincible protagonist, Grandpa Kirito, actually...
Lost to the leader.

Although the plot of the previous novel had a part of the strategy group attacking the boss, the group leader also made a move in the plot.

But after all, everyone has no sense of substance.

Only, in this duel between Li Tongren and the leader, Tongren was suppressed throughout.

Even if he finally tried his best to find an opportunity, however, the leader still had that kind of teleportation or something else skill, and unexpectedly knocked Kirito down the moment Kirito's grandfather was about to succeed.

The protagonist's invincible record was finally shattered, which made many fans of the novel a little disappointed.

In the latest episode of the novel, fans originally wanted to see if the protagonist, Kirito, could break through himself and go to fight with the team leader again to wash away the shame of defeat from last week.

Unexpectedly, because the protagonist Kirito lost, he could only be forced to join the Knights as agreed and became Asuna's guild partner.

However, although the plot of the protagonist washing away his humiliating record did not appear.

but in this chapter
It's really the sweet spot.

Whether Asuna heard Kirito tell about his past with the Black Cats and Sachi or explain why he didn't want to join the team or be a lone walker, Asuna just listened gently.

In the end, after Kirito said everything, he regretted the experience of letting her die because of his wrong choice and not protecting her.

Asuna sat next to Kirito, held Kirito's face in her hands, and looked at Kirito with clear and moving eyes.

【So, I won't die.Because, I am protecting you! 】

Then, a color illustration of Asuna hugging Kirito is displayed
In the last serialization of Sword Art Online this year, it ended with a sweet, the sweetest plot in the serialization of the novel so far.

On this day, there was no noise, no fans complaining about Xia Yan's plot arrangement, and there was a whole network's explosion of this plot.

"I like to read this kind of thing. Teacher Yuanqing, if you know how to write, write more."

"Asuna is so cute."

"Damn, what kind of fairy heroine is this? How can she be so attractive and have such a good personality?"

"Haha, you poor people, my girlfriend is different. She is more gentle than Suina. Her hometown is in a mountain village with a bad name. She misses her hometown very much, so she often mentions her hometown to me." Zishu Daoshan"! I think she is really gentle, really, woohoo."

"Upstairs, if you want to cry, cry loudly."

"Is Mr. Genkiyo's girlfriend also as gentle as Asuna to write this kind of plot?"

"Does Teacher Yuanqing have a girlfriend?"

"I don't know, he is so talented, rich, and good-looking, and I can see his alumni say that he has a good personality when I go to the Post Bar of Shanghai University. Such a person can't be single, right?"

"Maybe we are boyfriend and girlfriend with our comic partner Mo Ran?"

"That's not right, why didn't you say that he and Teacher Ning Yun have known each other since high school and have been dating secretly?"

"However, in Longguo, a 16-year-old adult, many people get married and have children after graduating from high school. Teacher Yuanqing is a sophomore, and it is really impossible for him to be single. Sixty to seventy percent of college students today are not single. What's more, Teacher Yuanqing's conditions are so good, it's even more impossible for him to be single."

"Damn it, it's impossible to be single in my sophomore year, so my senior hasn't spoken yet."

"Haha, I'm in my first year of PhD and I'm still single. Am I proud?"

"In the last week of this year, I would like to thank Sensei Genki for writing Sword Art Online. I hope that everyone who has finished reading this novel can find excellent partners like Asuna and Kirito next year."

"Thank you Yuan Qing for your hard work and bringing me a whole year of happiness."

"Mr. Yuanqing, I hope you will find a girlfriend who is as lovely as Asuna next year."

After this chapter was updated, Xia Yan's creator comment area was full of praise.

It's just a simple plot of Asuna Kirito sending out sugar, which has already made thousands of fans yearn for new gods.

And the number of readers' votes for this issue of Sword Art Online has also become the highest issue of this work so far, with a total of [-] million votes.

This news shocked the Liuli Publishing House collectively. After all, it meant that after six years, a popular masterpiece with more than 300 million votes appeared in the journal Liuli.
