A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 228 February
Time passed, and days passed by.

In mid-February, the first volume of the Sword Art Online novel booklet was officially released.

Early in the morning, all the novel fans in Longguo got up early.

Small counties are okay, but in major first-tier cities, the scene is magnificent.

There are almost all queues at the entrances of major bookstores, and there are many cosplay lovers in these queues.

Black Swordsman Kirito, Shining Asuna, Liz, Argo, Silica
Although these character costumes that have already started to be sold in the market are expensive, often costing tens of thousands of sets, there are still rich men and rich women who buy them without blinking. They can obviously ask other people to help them buy the standalone novel of Sword Art Online. The first volume, but after the cosplay in person, I will line up with everyone and let the fans of Sword Art Online see their cosplay outfits.

This is their hobby and their love for this work.

"I heard that the first volume of this work contains two special novels, about luck."

"It's a pity that the old thief Yuanqing has no heart. Let this character die so early. To be honest, I think it's lucky that the best and most touching character in this novel is Asuna."

"A social horror girl, locked in a horrible game like sao, carefully planned her life in order to survive, but finally fell down on a team trip with Kirito. The most disturbing thing for me is that she died before she died. The last time I watched Kirito die with a smile on his face."

"Mr. Yuanqing understands fans, that's why the first volume of the novel adds more content."

"You said that when the second and third volumes of the novel are released, will you add a little plot of Grandpa Kirito and Asuna teaming up to overcome the boss level in the early stage! This novel is good-looking, but the level strategy battle is really difficult It's too vague. The blue-eyed demon is okay, but most of the levels don't even mention the boss"

"What I would like to see more is that Mr. Yuanqing will add a little more plot of Asuna and Kirito's honeymoon cohabitation in the follow-up novel. Although, those things are quite vulgar, but I am an ordinary person! I love to read."

"Me too."

"We're all laymen."

"Hey hey hey"

During the queuing process, although these Sword Art Online fans didn't know each other, they started talking with each other.

As for those journal fans of other book clubs, such as Xingkong and Qingze novels, although they have not read the serial novels of Sword Art Online, but this novel is so popular, after the release of the booklet, many people came to pay for tickets and board the bus, just in the process of queuing. I also experienced the atmosphere of Sword Art Online in the current Dragon Kingdom novel circle.
A real fire with high fan stickiness.

In the bookstore, from the entrance to the innermost part of the bookstore, there are promotional posters of Kirito and Asuna all over the place.

There are also various small gifts at the cash register, such as Asuna pendants and key rings, which are given to consumers as booklet purchase gifts.

The TV station, under the arrangement of Liuli Book Club, is also the news of multiple TV stations and multiple programs today. The talk show promotes the release of the booklet of Sword Art Online.

In some cities, even the bus body and the subway platform are covered with promotional posters of the Sword Art Online booklet.
As for the industry, during the ten days from the release of the first volume of Sword Art Online in mid-February to the second half of the month, none of the popular novels had plans to release a single volume.

Everyone tacitly gave this period of time to Sword Art Online by default, so as to avoid the collision affecting the sales of the novel and the publicity effect of the book release.

After all, Xia Yan's appeal in the two-dimensional industry is obvious to all.

Now, everyone in the novel world is paying attention, what sales data can be achieved in the first week of the first volume of Sword Art Online?
For several days in a row, the single volumes of the major books in the Dragon Kingdom Sword Art Online were sold very rapidly, almost every day the bookstore had to contact the dealer to replenish the stock.

And the readers also praised the feature plots of the two novels added in the booklet.
In this case, many fans are also relieved.

a week later.
Sales figures for the first volume of Sword Art Online's single volume have been released.

[-] million volumes
This is the result calculated after the Liuli Book Club and the dealers connected with each other at the fastest speed.

When Liuli Publishing Club disclosed this data in the afternoon of this day, there was an uproar in the Long Kingdom novel circle.

In fact, the sales volume of more than 500 million copies in the first week is not too exaggerated.

An exaggeration is that this is the first week of sales after the release of the first volume of this work.

A work that is serialized over time will definitely become more and more popular. The kind of popular novels that are truly phenomenal can sell more than 500 million or even 600 million copies in the first week after their release.

However, this kind of data generally does not appear when the first volume of a work is released.

Just like the single volumes of One Piece manga in the parallel world, in an island country with a population of 80 million, the volumes of the volumes that sell better can sell [-] million copies in the first week after it is released, but the number of volumes of some comics that sell poorly, There are also many that sold hundreds of thousands of copies in the first week.

It's outrageous that the first volume of a novel like Sword Art Online has this kind of data.

Waiting for this novel to be longer and more popular, and then the booklet will be released, wouldn't that be against the sky?

Anyway, based on the sales volume of the first volume of the novel alone in the first week, Sword Art Online has been the record holder in the Dragon Kingdom novel circle for the past seven years.

In the afternoon of the same day, all major Two-dimensional websites and media in Longguo made column reports on this matter.

[Sword Art Online, after the end of the Golden Age of the Two-dimensional world, the second novel was able to sell over 500 million copies in the first week of release of the first volume of the booklet. 】

[A novel about games has set off a new revolution in the light novel world of Dragon Kingdom. The first volume of Sword Art Online's single volume has sold more than 500 million copies in the first week. What kind of profound impact will this have on the industry? 】

[Thanks to the expansion of Sword Art Online's popularity, game-themed novels in the Dragon Kingdom light novel industry have sprung up. 】

[The sales of the first volume of the booklet exceeded 500 million copies in the first week, and Sword Art Online broke the seven-year record. 】

[Initial D's third volume of manga booklet sales exceeded 500 million copies in the first week, and Sword Art Online's first volume of novels sold more than 500 million copies in the first week. Yes, true genius. 】

The next day, under the praise of the media all over the country, Liuli Publishing House specially held a celebration banquet for the sales data of the first volume of Sword Art Online's single volume against the sky.

On this day, many employees from the brokerage department, editorial department, and operation department of the bookstore were invited to the scene.

As for Xia Yan, it can be considered that he has cooperated with Liuli Book Club for almost two years, and it is the first time that he has met so many people from this company.

Dressed in black formal attire, with a slender and tall figure, Xia Yan is the absolute protagonist at a banquet in a play.

Many people immediately surrounded him.

"Teacher Yuanqing, I offer you a toast."

"Teacher Yuanqing, come and have a drink."

"Mr. Yuanqing, how do you create novels? Do you have any tips that you can share with others? My son also likes novels, and I want to train him in this direction too."

"Congratulations to Mr. Yuanqing, the sales volume of Sword Art Online is astonishing. The average sales volume of novel volumes is very likely to exceed 2000 million volumes."

At the meeting, although Xia Yan didn't like drinking, he still couldn't avoid it completely. When the banquet was over, he was driven to Xia Yan's residence by an employee of the company in a daze.

It's already one o'clock in the morning.

Xia Yan dragged his tired body back home, at this time, the three friends of the opposite sex in the house had already fallen asleep.

Xia Yan originally wanted to go directly to rest, but with sharp eyes, he saw a bowl of soup on the table.

Taking a closer look, there was a note Tang Yin pasted on the table beside her.

【Knowing that you went to the Liuli Publishing Club's celebration banquet, I guess you won't drink less when you come back. This is hangover soup. If you see it, drink it. I guarantee that you won't vomit tonight and sleep till dawn! 】

Xia Yan was silent for a moment, then smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Lift the soup and drink it in one gulp.

The taste in the mouth, it's really bad, but I'm a little touched.

After all, after his father died a few years ago, Xia Yan rarely felt these things. After all, no one would treat him so suddenly.

Mid-February passed by, and it was late.
The plot of the novel of Sword Art Online was also serialized when the true identity of Yui, the child picked up by Kirito and Asuna, was revealed.

"Yui is the human intelligence program of the sao game system", because of the generation of human emotions, she manifested into the image of a little girl, lost her memory and wandered in the game, and was picked up by the two protagonists.

But because she was finally detected by the system as abnormal data, she will be eliminated soon
As the protagonist, Kirito can only strip her body and program data before her daughter Yui is completely removed by the system as a foreign object, and visualize it as a game item in the game
Let her sleep in it.

this plot
Fans of Sword Art Online novels who have been relaxed and happy for more than a month are a little bit abused.

After all, when the plot of Yui was serialized in the past few weeks, many readers took part in it and really felt that they had such a lovely daughter.

However.
Just like Xing, when the novel made her the most lovable, it ruthlessly gave her a not-so-good fate.

After this chapter was serialized, the fans naturally made noise for several days, asking Xia Yan to revive Yui immediately in the next plot.

However, the fans' support for Sword Art Online has not fallen at all, and the number of reader votes for this chapter of the novel has also approached the 380 million mark
By this time, the number of reader votes for the novel Crimson Abyss, which once competed with Sword Art Online for the number one journal, had dropped to a level of more than one million.

Its iron fans are rebelling.

Of course, this rebellion does not mean that fans stopped reading this novel, but that in their minds, the best novel in the Liuli Journal has changed from Crimson Abyss to Sword Art Online.

So the votes were all absorbed by Sword Art Online.

As for the sales volume of each issue of Liuli Journal, it also increased by 50 volumes to 450 million volumes in this month.

When the popularity of Sword Art Online rose and the booklet was selling well, the sales of Liuli journals also rose at the same time. Everyone in the novel world knows what this data means.

Liuli Publishing House invested all the publicity resources in Sword Art Online novels in the early stage, and now it has paid off.

This novel is no longer relying on the "Liuli Journal" to expand its influence, but is using the popularity of its own works to feed back and move forward with the Liuli Journal.

February is over, March is coming.

　Another day of scumbags, but after looking at the background, in 25 days this month, the total update volume was more than 15 to three to four thousand words, and the average number of updated words per day is still more than 5000 words.That is, sometimes there are more than [-] updates, and sometimes seven or eight thousand updates, and the average update volume is still up to the standard.I'm not being lazy either.
