Chapter 209: Luck
In late October, after Liuli Books launched a wave of all-round publicity for Sword Art Online in the new week, the attention this novel received during the third issue of the series was much higher than at the beginning.
Many people in the novel industry can see that Liuli Books is strongly promoting Sword Art Online and its author "Genkiyo".
Novel journals also need freshness.
Liuli Books' top three novels, Scarlet Abyss, Alien Labyrinth, You and Me!, have occupied the top three positions in the journal for three or four years. It is true that they have helped Liuli Books stabilize the sales of the journal and are the great contributors to the journal.
But the book club also needs some innovative and creative works to achieve sales and fan growth.
After all, the journal "Liuli" is only the third best-selling in the Dragon Country light novel industry, and it definitely wants to go further.
In the past two years, the top management of Liuli Books has also stepped up efforts to cultivate some young and potential new novelists, hoping that they can help the book club take its position in the industry to a higher level.
As of now, many people outside can feel that Liuli Book Club seems to have a tendency to put its own goal and idea on Yuanqing.
There are more than a dozen provinces in Longguo, and hundreds of novel publishing houses of all sizes are ranked. They are naturally very sensitive to the behavior of industry giants like Liuli.
Especially Liuli Book Club’s two direct competitors, "Xingkong Novels" and "Qingze Bookstore".
Everyone has been in love and hatred in the industry for decades, and they are very clear about the nature of this industry.
Don’t look at the three major book clubs. Xingkong Novels is the first, Qingze Bookstore is the second, and Liuli Book Club is the third.
But in fact, the reversal of the influence of the book club only needs one or two truly popular works to appear.
Just like the comics industry in the island country in the parallel world, Jump can sit firmly in the top spot in the comics industry because it has serialized works such as Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk in the past, and then there are works such as One Piece and Naruto in the future. The same is true in the two-dimensional industry in Longguo.
Whether a big-hit novel can be cultivated can largely determine whether a large book club can go one step further.
Although the emergence of such a hit work is too harsh, considering the potential that Xia Yan has shown since his debut and his age, many people in the senior management of Liuli Bookstore are still looking forward to him.
On Friday, this issue of "Liuli" magazine was released, and it still came with character posters about Sword Art Online.
The poster of this issue is a scene of a black-haired girl, who seems to be in a closed cave, looking back with tears in the corners of her eyes, looking at the protagonist Li Tongren
After Jian Che bought this week's magazine home, he opened the poster and blinked his eyes after seeing this scene.
"Why isn't it Asuna? Is this the new heroine?" Jian Che looked puzzled.
Of course, there are many harem novels in the Dragon Country light novel industry, but judging from the style of Yuanqing's past works, he has created pure love works. Ye Yan
Do you want to change your style this time?
"Forget it. It doesn't matter. I'm a philanthropist. Harem, pure love, minotaur, I accept everything." Jian Che put down the poster and turned to the page number of the novel after the serialization of Sword Art Online.
The plot of the third chapter actually changed the scene.
For example, the main female character in the second chapter, Asuna, who was expected by readers, did not appear at all.
Because the protagonist became the public enemy of the players in the second chapter, and was mistakenly regarded as a selfish person who would do anything for rare items, Kirito began his own solo upgrade.
The boring plot of the protagonist Kirito's grandfather upgrading and killing monsters was omitted. Anyway, as soon as the timeline jumped, Jian Che knew it from the few words in the novel.
At this moment, Li Kirito has become very strong.
[Then, cheers to our black cat group on the moonlit night. ]
[Then, cheers to our lifesaver Li Kirito! 】
When Xia Yan adapted the novel of Sword Art Online in Longguo, he also focused on the original animation in the parallel world, supplemented by the novel plot.
After all, there are many places in the original novel with a slow rhythm, which does not conform to the reading habits of Longguo readers.
At the beginning of the third chapter of the novel plot, it has been a long time since the battle between Kirito and Asuna in the second chapter. The strategy team has advanced to the 26th floor.
And Kirito, after upgrading and becoming stronger alone, encountered a low-level player team "Black Cat Knights", and saved them from the monsters, and deliberately reported his own player level lower.
After roughly understanding the current situation of the protagonist Kirito, Jian Che can also roughly guess what the third chapter of the novel is going to write.
What else can the nameless boss do hiding in the team of novice game players?
Of course, it is to lead the novice players to take off!
The plot of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger is very popular in the parallel world, and it is also very popular in the Dragon Kingdom plane.
However.
This is the reader's idea that Xia Yan wants to create.
Most readers would think that the plot of this chapter would be very easy after reading this.
In fact, it is very sharp.
Kirito concealed his information and told the members of the Black Cat Group that his level was 20.
This made the members of the Black Cat Group who were rescued by him immediately accept him enthusiastically.
In this plot, the character that the text focuses on is the only female character in the Black Cat Group, "Xing".
"This girl? Probably the girl who looked back with tears in her eyes and looked at Li Tongren in the poster I saw before." Jian Che recalled the content of the poster.
Although it feels like her painting style is not as gorgeous as Asuna's, overall, her character image is also very outstanding.
"So is there a possibility? Is this a love triangle plot? Kirito, Asuna and Xing's harem Shura field?"
With various thoughts in his mind, Jian Che continued to read.
Because he was tired of the road of becoming stronger alone, Li Kirito concealed his level and joined the Black Cat Group, and appropriately demonstrated his strength in the Black Cat Group.
Among so many players in this game, the protagonist Li Kirito, as a game boss who can definitely rank in the top three, led some newbies to level up and become stronger. In this process, he successfully captured the trust of the members of the Black Cat Group, and then made Xing, a gentle and lovely girl, gradually develop feelings for Li Kirito.
However, among the members of the Black Cat Group who aimed to upgrade from level 20 to level 30, they had no idea that Kirito was a hidden boss who could level up to level 48 by just one person.
Break monsters, upgrade, buy a new home in the game, and become close to everyone.
As Jian Che read this text, he also had a better impression of the members of the Black Cat Group, especially Xing.
Xing, the ordinary player girl who was afraid of death.
And the detailed description of her affection for Li Tongren who saved her.
The sweet feeling of love that can only be found in light novels lingered in Jian Che's heart.
At this moment, who is Asuna?
Xing is the only true goddess in this book, and the only heroine that Jian Che has chosen.
