Chapter 194 Review
Has the editor changed again? Xia Yan blinked.
After he joined Liuli Book Club, including Li Mu, the book club has changed three editors for him.
At the beginning, when Parasyte was serialized in "Liulise", it was a young female editor. Later, when Parasyte was upgraded and moved to "Liuli" for serialization, the book club immediately changed him to an aunt in her fifties.
Now Xia Yan submitted a new novel, and the book club changed his editor-in-charge again.
Xia Yan sighed. Although he knew that this was because the book club valued him and adjusted the editor according to his status, strength, and popularity, to be honest, he didn't like the people around him who kept changing.
"Hello, Mr. Yuanqing, I am your new editor-in-charge Li Mu."
Li Mu was really cute when he smiled. After all, his chubby round head and sincere eyes made it easy for Xia Yan to have some good feelings for him.
After the three of them exchanged a few polite words at Xia Yan's house, Bai Xuan got straight to the point.
"Xia Yan, you said last week that you would write a new novel this week. Have you finished writing it?" Bai Xuan asked in a clear voice.
"Of course." Xia Yanye did not hesitate and quickly took out two stacks of photocopied novel manuscripts from his room and handed them to the two of them.
Bai Xuan's eyes condensed.
Her main responsibilities are actually Xia Yan's personal image management, commercial value promotion, some single book signings, and Xia Yan's schedule arrangement in the novel industry.
Although she has a certain ability to appreciate novels, she is definitely not as good as a professional novel editor.
However, the content of the novels should still be read.
If a novel cannot impress even ordinary readers like her, it is likely that it will not impress other ordinary audiences in Longguo after it goes online.
Li Mu is relatively serious and professional. After picking up Xia Yan's novel manuscript, he immediately entered the state.
The story setting of Sword Art Online can be said to be a bit cliché.
Of course, this cliché is relative to the parallel world.
Virtual helmet engine, holographic real-life game.
This kind of setting is actually a common setting, whether in the island country in the parallel world or in China. There are at least hundreds of such novels.
But the world is always different.
This kind of setting is common in the parallel world, but it is very novel in Longguo.
Similarly, some popular themes in Longguo's two-dimensional industry are also extremely novel if they can be put into the parallel world, which will make the two-dimensional fans in that world shout that they are creative.
Just in the first chapter of the novel, the setting of sao, a game that requires wearing a holographic simulation helmet to play, made Li Mu excited.
It's a bit interesting. He is worthy of being the first place in the new god's ascension. He is a genius who can win the top six of the "Emperor Star Award" with his first work.
He couldn't help but look at Xia Yan twice and found that Xia Yan was drawing something with a pen.
Take a closer look at the content of the painting.
Comic storyboard?
No, it's too rough.
Storyboard draft?
Li Mu only remembered at this time that Xia Yan was also the creator of the popular comic Initial D in Longguo.
Really hardworking!
Don't waste every minute of fragmented time. His success is not accidental.
After Li Mu gave Xia Yan a rainbow fart in his heart, he continued to focus on the novel manuscript of Sword Art Online.
The cross-era simulation game SAO and the simulation helmet that was released with the release of SAO and the game.
The delicate description of kiss text, the introduction of the game and the helmet quickly made Li Mu, who is also a game fan, get into the state and look forward to the game described in the novel.
The male protagonist of the novel, junior high school student Li Tongren (Kiritani Kazuto), felt dizzy after starting the machine, and then opened his eyes.
In front of him was a brand new world.
The login hall, the player square, the city in the sky, Aincrad.
Each element and the setting of the work were described in short words in the novel manuscript.
At first glance, the plot of the first chapter of Sword Art Online is a very daily plot of the protagonist fighting monsters, meeting partners, and showing the fun of this game world. ♦♦ ♞♦
As a former closed beta player of SAO, the protagonist Li Tongren can be said to know how to play this game as soon as he appears.
How to get more experience in killing monsters, skills in the game, what is the principle of attack judgment, and how to fight monsters in the game
When Li Mu saw this, he roughly understood the style of this work.
Relaxed daily game novels.
This kind of novel is also popular in Longguo, where the protagonist plays games, writes novels, and engages in clubs.
Generally, the career line and the love story are carried out alternately.
Of course, the quality of this kind of novel depends on the creator's writing skills, but Li Mu is not worried about it when he thinks of the quality of Xia Yan's trip to the moon and Parasyte.
However, just when Li Mu thought he had seen through the style of Sword Art Online and the direction of the content of the subsequent games.
In the middle of the first chapter of the novel, the protagonist and his new friends who played in the game world for a day found that they could not log out of the game.
Li Mu's expression changed instantly.
A qualified novel creator will not let any unnecessary settings appear in his novel.
Unable to log out of the game?
What the hell is this?
Then the protagonist explained the principle of the game helmet, and Li Mu frowned.
Game bug, or
Soon, in the game plot, Jing Yan (Akihiko Kayaba), the big boss of the sao chapter, appeared in the player square as a huge boss.
The real gameplay of the game sao, a game that cannot be logged out, Jing Yan's conspiracy as an antisocial person, will explode and blow off the head if the virtual helmet is removed or the power is turned off, and the setting that if you die in the game, you will die in the real world.
Only by conquering Aincrad, which has 100 floors, and completing this game can you let your consciousness escape from the game and return to the real world.
And after the game officially starts, Jing Yan turns off the beauty settings of each character full-time, allowing players to appear in front of everyone with their real identity and real gender.
One setting after another is thrown out like a string of pearls.
Especially this game function that turns off the beauty and displays the appearance in the real world.
Li Mu cheered in his heart instantly.
What he hates most in playing games is the shemale account. He played with the other party for a whole night, and finally found out that the other party is a man.
Just to satisfy his own fun, Jing Yan involved hundreds of thousands of people in this life and death game world
And the protagonist Li Tongren, who was very familiar with this game in the past closed beta stage and can be called a novice master of this game.
"I want to survive!"
The protagonist Li Tongren put aside the fantasy in his mind and ran towards the monster wolf that attacked him. He swung a sword and pierced through the wolf, and his inner monologue emerged.
The plot of the first chapter of the novel came to an abrupt end, but at this moment, this short kiss text spread the anticipation of the work.
Li Mu closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
"Awesome, Mr. Yuanqing. It's been a long time since I've read such a wonderful light novel in the first chapter."
Li Mu said.
But he was not flattering, because he really thought so.
At least he couldn't find any fault with the first chapter of the novel, the rhythm, the plot, and the setting.
Once you enter the holographic world, you can't exit. If you want to return to the real world, you have to conquer this game. If you die in the game, you will die in the real world.
These things are very innovative in the light novel industry of Longguo.
Bai Xuan also savored it carefully and responded immediately.
"I feel the same way. Moreover, this work is not only novel in setting and plot rhythm, but also completely different from the past works of Longguo."
"It feels like your style is unique to you, Xia Yan. Other novelists can't write this kind of style."
Xia Yan was stunned when he heard this.
What unique style? It's probably the kind of island-style home style in the work, right?
"Then the novel manuscript" Xia Yan paused and looked at Bai Xuan and Li Mu.
"I have no problem here. This work is excellent. It is likely to become popular after serialization. I support submitting it to the book club." Li Mu said with a smile.
"I agree too." Bai Xuan smiled.
"When is the latest serialization meeting for the novel quota of the "Liuli" journal?" Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Serialization meeting?" Bai Xuan was stunned when she heard this, and then a smile appeared on her cold face.
"Who told you that your new novel would be submitted to the serialization meeting?"
"What, what do you mean?" Xia Yan looked at Bai Xuan.
"What we just said about agreeing to submit the manuscript to the book company means that the editorial department of the book company will hold a meeting directly to discuss whether your work can be directly serialized in the "Liuli" journal. Who said we need to hold a serialization meeting?" Bai Xuan said.
Then Bai Xuan looked at Xia Yan, who was puzzled, and explained one more sentence.
"This is a different time, and that is a different time. Your winning of the Emperor Star Award and the popularity of Initial D in the Dragon Country comics industry are enough for the book company to cooperate with you to this extent."
Xia Yan thought about it after hearing this, and indeed
He has not yet adapted to the change of his identity.
At the beginning, he was just one of the top six winners of the Emperor Star Award, and he could serialize comics in "Beizhou" without any obstacles.
Now, as the creator of Initial D, the most popular comic in Beizhou Comic Magazine, Liuli must have given Xia Yan some preferential treatment.
After the two of them exchanged greetings at Xia Yan's house for a while, they excitedly walked out of Xia Yan's house with the manuscript of the novel.
Xia Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, the editor and agent passed the test.
In the next few days, Liuli Bookstore quickly launched a meeting to discuss whether "Sword Art Online" is qualified to be serialized directly in the journal without going through the serialization meeting.
The meeting was full of verbal battles, and everyone was dissatisfied.
On the other hand.
The promotional activities for the animated film "Going to the Moon" have officially begun.
Today's update is a bit sluggish again, a bit stuck, I will try to update more tomorrow
