I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 8

Magic City, the office building where Shiyue's novel is located.

The editor-in-charge was facing the computer screen, thinking about the arrangement of some recommended positions.

Although most of the recommendations for next week will be confirmed on this Friday, the recommended positions on some apps are yet to be confirmed.

At this moment, on the computer screen facing the editor's pen and ink,

What is displayed is Ji Zhuo's new book, "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", and the latest chapter has been turned.

"After a week of recommendation, it has increased by 4 favorites. But this recommendation itself has no traffic, and this increase in favorites can be ranked No. [-] in the same recommendation position, and there is not much difference from the third."

"Although the collection is low, the ratio of receiving and tweeting is good, and the follow-up rate is also high... I am also an old author, and I may have some expectations for the follow-up progress... Forget it, let's give a small recommendation to try the water."

The pen and ink pondered for a while, then shook his head to confirm.

The most important thing is that recently, the new books classified by Xianxia are not very popular, and there are no special books that stand out. The competition for recommended places is not so fierce.

……

"Editor: Next Tuesday to Friday, there is an app recommended to you, please update it steadily."

In the room, sitting in front of the computer, watching the news that the editor sent back to him, which was completely beyond his expectations.

Ji Zhuo's smile froze on his face, he was a little dazed at first, then raised his head, his eyes were a little confused.

I'm so flustered about this book, is there any recommendation for next week?

No, although I am a little familiar with the editor, you don't have to take care of me like this.

"Clumsy and uncommon: ???"

"Editor: I took a look at your novel, and to be honest, it was unexpected, and I liked it quite a bit. But I can't just follow my ideas, it still depends on the market's reaction. Please update it."

"Clumsy and uncommon: Hmm..."

Ended the conversation with the editor.

Ji Zhuo raised his head, his eyes were a little dazed.

Goldfinger is a small villain, a declining fairy tale novel, a clichéd realm, a slow-moving plot,
Goldfinger only appeared in more than a dozen chapters, so there is still hope for such a novel?
Ji Zhuo thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, everything on the computer screen,
Back to the writer's backstage again.

Looking at the collection that did not increase in the background, I was relieved.

Looking at the news again, there was a text message on the site, informing him that he would have a recommendation next week.

“作者你好，您的作品《凡人修仙》将于2020年12月11日至12月13日获得始阅小说APP……”

Gan!It is also a recommendation on the app.

Wouldn't that mean more traffic? What if some readers insist on following me and collect and read my book?

Then am I cool?
Looking at this short website and then looking at the comments in the comment area,

Although it is only [-] years old now, Ji Zhuo still feels that something is getting worse.

……

"...Kill, fuck him to death, beautiful!"

"Long comment, about the protagonist Han Li's first master..."

It was exactly as Ji Zhuo expected.

In the third week of opening a new book, with Ji Zhuo at full strength and changing [-] characters every day,
This "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" has 18 words.

And after two days of APP recommendation this week, it really added some favorites to this book.

It was so high that Ji Zhuo's heart was aching.

Right now, Ji Zhuo is sitting in the noodle shop outside the community eating,
At the same time, I looked through the more lively comment area, and all kinds of comments came out.

It is no longer the beautiful and deserted appearance.

"Kill O'Neill sauce: Everyone vote for this book after reading it. It's rare to see a book of this style. If the data is poor, the author might be an eunuch. Hurry up and vote!"

This is the top comment in the comment area, either Ji Zhuo put it on the top, or it was put on the top by a book friend,
Click it in and see Ji Zhuo's mask of pain,
"First floor: Vote and check in! If you don't vote, I won't vote, when will the author come forward.

Second floor: All the votes have been cast, and the monthly ticket has also been voted. I don’t get the monthly ticket to support the author of the novel!
Third Floor: I have seen advertisements for this book in many places, and I clicked to read them a few times at the beginning, but I didn’t read them.Looking into it now, there is only one feeling, cool! "

Not daring to look any further, Ji Zhuo hurriedly exited the building,

There are some other comments on this floor.

"...I almost edited it. I saw someone recommending this novel, saying that this novel is a clean stream. Sure enough, the author wrote very solidly and carefully!"

"...I finished reading it in one sitting, and I voted for it. I haven't read this kind of orthodox cultivating novel for a long time. I feel that I have regained the feeling of reading Xianxia."

"...The plot concept is quite good, and the writing style is also very good, but I feel that the writing skills are still almost..."

Looking at the comments of these rainbow farts in pain, Ji Zhuo felt that every blow was stabbed in his chest.

Did the editor recommend my novel?
Ji Zhuo opened the editor and took a look.

"How do you evaluate the current popular style of online writing?"

The first comment below is,
"I don't have anything to comment on. It's quite cool, but sometimes I feel numb. I recently found out that this novel is called "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals".

The author's writing is very detailed, and the foreshadowing is relatively long. There is no such thing as a systematic cheating finger, and there are no messy things. It is just an orthodox cultivating novel.

The main character is not a virgin, nor is there any love affair between children, just to become a fairy, and the characters in it are all kinds of old silver coins, and I feel like I have returned to the feeling of watching a fairy at the beginning..."

I write novels so well,
Switching back to the comment section, Ji Zhuo was a little confused.

Isn't it just a traditional cultivating immortal novel?
The master is an evil cultivator, so he uses the protagonist as a tool.

Isn't this kind of setting very clichéd? Isn't it clichéd that the world of cultivating immortals is intriguing and cruel?
Not all are popular now.The times have changed, and in the new era, have you cultivated harmoniously?

Do these people like to watch clichéd plots?

"...Then why should I write it, just crash the settings and mess around? The system doesn't seem to agree. If the system doesn't agree, it won't send me money... That's not free..."

When a book is paved, it is like a wheel that keeps rolling forward,

In fact, there are not many choices that the author can make, and the setting cannot be messed up. It seems that there are several directions to choose from.

Ji Zhuo fell into deep thought,
Ji Zhuo felt a little distressed.

As a senior reader, as a novel author,
He now suspects that the system is operating in the dark,

I just want him to be a great writer, and I don't want him to make money.

It is by no means that he cannot grasp the market situation by himself.

Well, absolutely impossible!

Look at this comment section,

Now this last comment can give him some comfort,

"...Yes, I'm not good at writing...how about some refinement?"

Then Ji Zhuo saw the remaining half sentence of this comment.

"... But the flaws don't hide the beauty! I can only describe it in two words, which is good-looking! The author hastened to update, I have seen the latest chapter, and I voted for you!"

Gan!
More refined ass, more refined.

Then open the writer background,

Ji Zhuo glanced at the current novel data.

"Mortal Cultivation"

Favorites 1801, comments 125, recommendation votes 2300, total rewards 131, investment 481, monthly pass 232.

Collection data is still normal,
But it only took two days to increase the recommended price!
Ji Zhuo with even higher stats wanted to cry.

really,

Before the noodles from this noodle restaurant were served, his editor sent him another message.

"Edit: This time the recommendation works pretty well. I received a better recommendation over the weekend. Remember to update it steadily."

"Ji Zhuo: Yes."

Standing back, a salted fish lost its dream.

The eyes are gone.

Update the ball steadily.

Ji Zhuo is ready, reduce the update, two chapters a day limit the system requirements.

At this time, Ji Zhuo's cell phone rang again.

Ji Zhuo looked down and became angry.

"Oh it's you!"
