A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 42 Forum Upheaval
"What kind of typesetting is this? Who is the person in charge of this part of the book club? Is there something wrong? You can accept Chapter 7 and Chapter 9, but do you want Chapter 8?"

"I'm so uncomfortable! Sisters, I'm so uncomfortable with the ending of this novel. What's the story behind it, can any journal party reveal it?"

"Buy the periodical with Youth Journey Chapter 9 at three times the price, and a sister wants to chat with me privately."

"I'm from Yun Province. I really didn't expect the book club in your province to have such an excellent novel. I'm here to inquire. Do local people have the content of the follow-up novel of Chapter 8? I'm willing to pay three times the price to buy it. "

"Uncomfortable, I can't sleep tonight. I didn't pay much attention to the love novels of Hongfeng Literature before. It was only during this period of time that I saw the various promotions of the Youth Journey book fans at night, so I bought the book out of curiosity. I admit, this This novel is really good, but the question is, the plot is broken here, is this intentional by the author?"

"Even if Yuanqing is the rumored young and beautiful high school student, I can't forgive her for this behavior. Writing novels in ancient times is so out of context, she will be punished by the nine clans!"

"But it's actually not her fault, is it? Isn't it up to the publishing house to decide on the amount of text in a single book and where to break it?"

"I'm not sure about that. But this novel is a serial journal, that is to say, when the author first serialized it, the plot of Chapter 8 did break here. We are right, she is indeed too numerous to write about."

"Hey, I can't sleep tonight. After watching Journey of Youth, my head is full of plots. I... Futaba Yuri, love."

"This novel is really good-looking, but why, it doesn't feel popular! I think it's better than many well-known love novels in the whole country, but if I didn't buy this novel today when I was bored, I might really miss it. No, no publicity at all."

"After all, we are a book club in the southern province! We don't have much influence in other provinces. How can the book club have the funds to do so much publicity for a single book by a new high school student?"

In the forum, more than 80.00% of the posters are natives of the Southern Province, and the remaining 20.00% of the book fans are book friends from the provinces of Mexico, Yun, Han and other provinces.

This situation directly surprised the person in charge of the operation of Red Maple Literature.

Normally, the booklets of Red Maple Literature's novels are published nationwide, but the sales in other provinces are bleak due to lack of publicity. The combined sales of sixteen other provinces can reach six to seven to eight thousand. Books are pretty good.

But on the journal forum of this moment of youth tonight, the number of book fans from other provinces attracted by the novel "Journey of Youth" is significantly more than before, and the number of book fans in this province is also the same, the number of comments, the number of posts, and the popularity of posts , the number of clicks, etc., have exceeded the usual data by a lot.

"I feel that the sales data of the single book of Youth Journey may exceed the expectations of the book club by a lot." The staff of Red Maple Literature who was in charge of statistics thought in his heart at night.

For the single volume of light novels, the statistical data is the sales volume of the first week and the first month. The sales data of Youth Journey is still unclear, but if there is such a amount of discussion among fans, it will definitely not be bad.

Tang Yin, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun are all paying attention to the information about their novels on the official website forum tonight.

On the surface, it seems that the readers are dissatisfied with the fragmented plot, but in fact, it means that the plot of the first volume of this novel is very attractive to them.

"It's a pity." Tang Yin sighed.

Based on the feedback from the release of this novel, if Journey of Youth is serialized on a more powerful platform, such as Xingkong Bookstore, Qingze Bookstore, etc., then these bookstores will be able to promote it on a large scale across the country Publishing the single book of the novel, I feel that Journey of Youth really has a chance to become a popular light novel in the whole country.
Of course, this is only Tang Yin's personal opinion. Personal reading tastes often go against the market.

However, as the editor of Hongfeng Literature, her thinking is obviously not in line with the interests of the company, so Tang Yin quickly cleared the distracting thoughts from her mind.

Song Lingyun looked at the forum posts from top to bottom, and more than [-]% of the posts were about the plot of the journey of youth. There were actually very few discussions about her yesterday's starlight, and she also sighed.

Lying in bed at night, looking at the stars outside the window.

"Cheer up, work hard, yesterday's starlight is not as good as the journey of youth, you know this in your heart, what is there to lose now." Song Lingyun said to himself in the room.

As for Xia Yan
"It feels okay. Red Maple Literature predicts that the total sales volume of the first volume of Youth Journey will be 25 copies. Anyway, judging by the popularity, this figure should be achievable." Xia Yan thought while studying the data. road.

In Longguo, there is a proportional relationship between weekly sales, monthly sales and total sales of novels.

In the first week of the novel’s booklet release, it accounted for at least half of the sales in the first month, and the sales in the first month basically accounted for 70% to 80% of the total sales of the novel’s booklet.

Normally, the total sales data of a certain volume of a pamphlet, in fact, if you look at the sales volume of the pamphlet in the first week and multiply it by 3, this is probably an estimate of the final total sales.

Of course, this refers to novels with normal popularity and normal length. It is different for those long-form novels that have been serialized for several years. Because the works have always been exposed and the number of fans has been increasing, the sales of single volumes will naturally continue to increase.

However, the serialization of ordinary short and novelettes, such as Youth Journey and Yesterday’s Starlight, has been serialized for only two months, and the popularity of novels has basically lasted for the past few months.

"For Red Maple Literature, if the sales volume of the first volume of Youth Journey breaks 12 copies in the first week, it is equivalent to passing! [-] copies, it should be considered excellent, and [-] copies. Expected."

After all, the sales volume in the first week is normally equal to one-third of the total sales volume. If the sales volume in the first week is higher by [-] to [-] copies, then the total sales volume of this volume will be higher than [-] volumes. The number is relatively large, and there can be more than ten volumes of content. When the final book is completed, the gap between the total sales volume of the novel's single volume is at the level of one million copies.

For the books in Nan Province, the sales gap of tens of thousands of copies in the first week may mean that the two books are not of the same level in the eyes of many people.

Xia Yan thought of this, and after sorting out the clues, he didn't waste any time and turned off the lights to sleep.

The next day, Sunday.

Youth Journey Chapter 10 is released with the journal.

On this day, the sales of the novel periodicals of "Instant Youth" were extremely smooth. Normally, the periodicals would not be sold out until the next day, but many bookstore owners found that they were sold out by six o'clock in the afternoon.

Among them, except for those fans of Nanxing novels who bought the booklet and joined the army of follow-up issues
There are also quite a few people who have started the business of fans of novels from other provinces.

There are no sales channels for Shan Na Fang Hua's periodicals in bookstores and newspapers in other provinces, so fans of novels in other provinces naturally have no way to buy them.

But entrusting the locals in the southern province to help them buy the moment of youth, and then mail it to other provinces, that's fine.

It's nothing more than paying a little errand fee and courier fee, which is better than waiting for the second volume of Youth Journey to be released.

　Some settings do not conform to the reality, because it is a web novel after all, and it must conform to the fun of the novel, so a little logic is sacrificed.Otherwise, it will be completely copied from the reality. If a novel is sold for a year or two before the sales are counted, it is really strange to write in a novel. It is estimated that there are dozens of chapters, hundreds of chapters, and the protagonist can spend this year in the novel world. .Then the author suddenly mentioned the sales data of these previous works after dozens of chapters, which is too dramatic.

　　Therefore, the author will simplify the sales time process, try to set the sales volume of a novel in the first week, and sell most of the first month, and then use this data as a sales performance indicator for a novel.This is a setting that appropriately sacrifices a little logic to serve the plot. Of course, there may be other similar small changes in the future. Book friends who work professionally in publishing houses can see it and smile. After all, this has nothing to do with the main plot , There are parallel worlds, and there is a difference between the parallel world and reality, which is also reasonable.Hahaha
