On Lin Xuan's side, the editor of Feiyue Novel Website met Lin Xuan's friend.
The entire male section of their website is named after plants, and the editor to whom Lin Xuan submitted his work is a female editor named Morning Glory.
[Morning Flower: I've read your novel. It has a good rhythm, good writing, and enough exciting moments. We can sign a contract.]
[When will the male protagonist's other women come out? ]
Lin Xuan replied: [There is only one female lead.]
Morning Glory frowned: [This won't work. A single female lead can't get along in a male channel. The male lead should collect all the good-looking and outstanding girls.]
[Morning Flower: Also! The male protagonist should act more assertive in front of the female protagonist. You act like a gigolo! A male protagonist like that won't make it in the novel!]
Lin Xuan couldn't help it when he saw the last sentence.
What's wrong with being a gigolo?
Being able to eat soft rice is also a blessing!
Lin Xuan clattered away on his keyboard, replying: [My novel is just like this, I can't change it!]
Morning Glory's face darkened: [This is how the industry is. If you don't change, your novel is doomed to fail!]
Lin Xuan: [Not a single word will be changed! ]
Morning Glory: [Okay, okay, you're being tough, huh?! I won't accept your novel. I don't have time to deal with a novel that's destined to flop!]
Morning Glory deleted and blocked Lin Xuan.
"Morning Glory, what's wrong with you? Who offended you?" Lavender in the office saw Morning Glory's gloomy face, and she couldn't help but wonder who made Morning Glory so angry.
"There's an author whose writing style is both good and refreshing, but he insists on having a single female protagonist. The male protagonist even relies on her as a gigolo. I told him about it, but he refused to change and is completely stubborn!"
In order to find a sense of recognition, Trumpet Glory even sent the novel to the editor group.
After reading the novel, the editors all shook their heads. This novel would have been a hit, but it had a big flaw: the male protagonist was a gigolo.
Those readers will basically run away when they see such a toxic point.
"Alas, what a pity." Lavender sighed.
Morning Glory snorted coldly: "Even if this novel is successfully signed, it won't be popular. Once he hits a wall, he will turn back."
Dogtail Grass also saw the novel posted in the group.
Out of curiosity, he clicked in to take a look, and as soon as he saw it, he was fascinated.
The relationship between the hero and heroine in this novel is handled very well. Although the heroine is a yandere, she still respects the hero very much. The hero and heroine are in love with each other.
Dogtail grass picked up Lin Xuan's QQ.
[Dogtail Grass: Hello, I'm Gouweicao, the editor of Feiyue Novels in charge of the men's section. I've read your novel and it's very well written. I'd like to sign your novel contract.]
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow: [Don't you think my novel is not suitable for the current market? ]
Dogtail Grass: [It doesn't fit the genre. The current charts are full of stories with multiple female protagonists, or male protagonists playing ambiguous roles with multiple women. Most authors will cater to the genre for the money.]
[Yes! Novels need to be diverse and diverse, and you can't just stick to the same formula all the time.]
[I always feel that your novel is extraordinary! I want to give it a try. If your subsequent manuscripts can maintain this level of quality, I will give you a strong recommendation.]
He is a veteran editor of the Feiyue Novel website, and many of his excellent authors have been poached by Trumpet Bloom.
Now he has very few popular novels under his hand.
He hopes Lin Xuan's novel will become popular!
Lin Xuan: [Okay!]
Dogtail Grass: [Then update 4,000 words a day, until you reach 120,000 words, and I'll arrange for your book to be published!]
Lin Xuan: [I'm short on money, I need to get this published quickly. I've already saved the manuscript, it's 100,000 words, and I expect to finish 400,000 words in the next day!]
Dogtail Grass: [!!! How much? Can you write 200,000 words in one day?]
Lin Xuan: [Yes.]
He has the space to write 200,000 words, which would only take a few tens of minutes in real life.
Lin Xuan: [Isn't it a bit short? If it's not enough, I can write a few hundred thousand more words.]
Dogtail Grass: "..."
He suspected he was bragging.
He writes good novels, but he is too good at bragging.
Normally, some authors would die if they could only write 4,000 words a day. Of course, it's not because they are busy. Some authors are stuck, but most of them just type a few words and look at their phones for more than ten minutes.
After typing a few more words, I petted the cat, typed a few more words, and played with my nails.
In short, I do everything except typing. Earning four thousand yuan a day is like squeezing toothpaste.
Sometimes when I really can't make it in time, I just make up some excuses like feeling unwell or being busy, and then ask for leave.
It would be a blessing for an ordinary author to be able to add 10,000 words.
And he can type hundreds of thousands of words a day?
This is absolutely impossible!
Even the tentacle monsters are not as fast as him!
Dogtail Grass: [Then please show me the remaining manuscript you have.]
Lin Xuan: [Okay!]
Lin Xuan sent the manuscript over.
Dogtail Grass was fascinated by this movie. The more he watched it, the more exciting it became. The ambiguous scenes between the male protagonist and the female yandere made him bleed from the nose. And it felt so good to get slapped in the face by the male protagonist!
Dogtail Grass watched for two full hours before contacting Lin Xuan.
Dogtail Grass: [Publish! Post 100,000 words first! I highly recommend it to you! It will be available the day after tomorrow!]
Lin Xuan: [OK.]
The day after tomorrow is also the start of school at Shangqing University. Before that, he finished writing the novel.
In two days, Lin Xuan had written one million words, and he wrote hundreds of thousands more words to post on another paid website.
The fee was collected in the early morning, and Lin Xuan uploaded 100,000 words in one go. By the end of the day, there were a total of 300,000 words.
Dogtail Grass was dumbfounded.
It was the first time he saw the author being so aggressive!
Other authors would feel bad for a long time if they accidentally posted 2,000 extra words, but he just posted 100,000 words!
My brother is awesome.
Dogtail Grass: [Brother, brother, take it easy. Save some for next time.]
Lin Xuan took a screenshot of the typing interface and showed it to Gouweicao. [It's okay, I wrote 800,000 words yesterday, that's enough!]
In addition to being short of money, another reason for Lin Xuan's decision was that he could understand the readers' feelings very well. He used to read novels and follow the updates every day, and those days were simply too hard to endure!
So he posted more so that readers could read enough.
Dogtail Grass: [...Brother, I kneel before you!]
He actually typed 800,000 words in one day! Even the donkeys in the production team couldn't work as hard as him!
Damn, what kind of hell speed is this!
Dogtail Grass: [Brother, why don't you send me the manuscript and I'll help you fix the typos.]
He wanted to take advantage of his position and read his novel in advance.
Lin Xuan: [Okay.]
Lin Xuan sent the entire novel over. The novel was not long, only about one million words in total.
If I write another 300,000 words, I will have the finale.
Gouweicao started reading Lin Xuan's novel. Originally, he planned to read for an hour and then go to sleep, but he ended up reading all night long.
The next day, Dogtail Grass went to work with dark circles under his eyes.
