Chapter 919: Dismal? Explosive? Sales? Romance Light Novel

Paimon and Ying also wanted to see Yaedo's light novels, and were curious about how Jiang Yi's books were selling.

"You also write light novels?" Ying was a little surprised.

"Strictly speaking, my book doesn't count!" Jiang Yi shook his head. "It's just a record of a fairy tale based on reality with some hidden meanings."

"Everyone in it is a protagonist, and you have met them! Several of the protagonists in the first volume."

Arrived at Yaedo.

Yaedo's editor Kuroda stammered in fear: "S-Shogun!"

"General, you have come to Yajendo in person. Do you have any instructions?"

Someone had already tipped off the general that he was shopping, but no one expected him to come here.

terrible!

There are too many things here that are invisible to people.

Even the older generation of mortals cannot understand the stories inside, let alone the eternal general.

"Give me something colorful..." Jiang Yi was actually very curious whether there were any light novels hidden in the Yaedo that could only be read by people over the age of eighteen.

Sooner or later, I'll change my appearance and come over to ask.

"It's nothing, don't be nervous, I just came to take a look." Ying repeated what he had said countless times, but his tone was as calm as ever, without the impatience that comes from explaining too much.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. Is it about management, publishing regulations, or... fire protection issues?" Kuroda thought these were the best questions.

All the eight great people can be dealt with.

"The general just wants to read a book." Paimon said speechlessly.

Kuroda was shocked and said incredulously: "General, you want to read... a light novel?"

is this real?

"Yes, do you have any good books to recommend?" Ying looked at the books on the bookshelf and the counter, whose names he could not understand at all.

The cover above is also quite strange.

"Uh - uh -" Kuroda scratched his head and calmly used his body to block out a few books with strange names, but he had no way to cover the other books.

I hope that after he and Yaedou are cut in half by the general, those authors can just fend for themselves.

The end of light novels is coming.

"Yaedo's novels..." Kuroda said tactfully, "are mainly aimed at ordinary people, and the content is all kinds of strange... Maybe many of them don't suit the taste of the general..."

Ying raised his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a taste of something new. It would be boring if it were all the same. Don't worry, as long as it's a story written in words, what's there to not understand?"

Although she felt a little unsure after seeing these book titles, as a general, she had to win no matter how difficult the situation was.

"The Son of God is indeed a liar. This is the first time that Ying has read a light novel. Why is he crying and making a fuss?" Paimon was furious. The Son of God, who spoke half-truths, was really confusing.

"Although that's the truth..." Kuroda looked down, saw a book title in horror, and then turned his head away so that the general would not notice.

Jiang Yi is looking for his book.

"It doesn't matter. Even if there are things you don't understand, we will explain them to the general!" Paimon's words did not make Kuroda happy at all.

It’s better not to explain the contents of these light novels.

The general is more suspicious!

The lives of countless authors are in your hands.

Ying also advised Kuroda not to be nervous, saying that the general really just wanted to take a look.

At this point, Kuroda had no choice but to agree and asked everyone to move to the bookshelf next to them, which was filled with the latest best-selling books.

"There are also award-winning works that have won the 'This novel is amazing!' award, which have just been compiled into a book and are now on sale." Kuroda said nervously again, "Don't take it too seriously, just take it as a fun read."

Jiang Yi picked up a book at this moment and fell into deep thought.

"The Record of One Hundred Demons! The author is the master of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!" Ying took a look and read.

"Ah, this! Put it here. It turns out your book is not a best-seller!" Paimon was almost dying of laughter.

"My condolences!" Ying patted Jiang Yi's shoulder.

There was a sense of murderousness and sadness around Jiang Yi's waist.

How could this happen! Fanan and Yingda said angrily.

Rubbish bookstore.

"Ahem! Lord Jiang Yi, don't be in a hurry!" Kuroda almost forgot that there was an old man next to the general.

The book didn't sell well, so it didn't seem possible that the protagonist of the book would run out and destroy Yaedo.

He often had this nightmare in the middle of the night.

I can only say that he is too difficult to please.

Although on the day of publication, Jiang Yi said he didn't care about sales.

"Is the sales of "Record of One Hundred Ghosts" not good?" Ying wondered, picked up the first volume of "Record of One Hundred Ghosts" and flipped through it. It was easy to understand! It recorded ten beings who were born after death, born from fantasy, and were promised a very good ending by Jiang Yi.

"Each story is a piece of history, a legend, and is very meaningful! The evil god was suppressed, the Liyue Yakshas reunited, the creatures imagined by children appeared in reality... the wishes of the dead were also inherited." She talked about the stories of Yakshas, ​​Xiangliu, Shiranui, and the great raccoon demon.

"I think it's good too!" Ying comforted.

"Well! Don't be too sad, it's the readers who can't appreciate it!" Paimon spoke to make things difficult for them.

"In Yaedo, which mainly publishes light novels, it is normal that no one reads a very serious story. Moreover, the title of my book with only three words is already behind the times. Most people probably won't even open it, let alone read the contents." Jiang Yi didn't feel anything.

"It is not a successful commercial work, nor is it written according to the standards of a commercial work. It just records what I have seen, heard, and done, describing the life and aftermath of each ghost..." he said, "I did not write this book for commercial purposes."

Because he is not short of money at the moment.

If he were just an ordinary person, he might be able to starve for a few years if he wrote novels, but faced with dismal sales, he would definitely hesitate to give up and consider food and clothing first!

Kuroda was embarrassed.

The group walked towards the best-selling bookshelf.

Ying looked at the titles of these books in silence. These books were even more difficult to understand than the ones just now.

She seemed to underestimate her enemy.

Continue to reply “I clearly know the names of these books, but when put together…” What is this!

"'I was reborn as a Hilichurl. As long as I eat Sunset Fruits I can become stronger'..." She randomly read out the name of a book as an example.

"It's so long..." Ying felt exhausted after reading it all in one breath. "Can the Hillbillies really become stronger by eating sunset fruits? At least they should eat meat."

Paimon didn't bother the sad Jiang Yi: "This is the setting of this book."

"Settings?" Ying didn't understand.

"It's a hypothetical situation, and the author has the final say," Ying added.

"What's the purpose of 'setting'? Without a sense of reality, can the story be believable?" Ying felt that among the books here, only Jiang Yi's "Record of One Hundred Ghosts" seemed normal.

"Also, the Hilichurls don't have the ability to write stories, right? Is the author recording the lives of the Hilichurls?" She had a million questions.

Paimon found it difficult to explain this problem of one plus one equals two.

"I understand why Kuroda said the general would be confused..." She sighed.

"There's another long book here..." Ying said, "'The God and His Little Bread and Pet Minion'... Which god is it talking about?"

Because it was pointed out that it was him, Ying knew that it definitely wasn't him.

Little bread, a pet subordinate?

What does this all tie together? A book about feeding pets?

"……"fluorescent.

“…”Paimon.

"..."Jiang Yi.

In silent silence, looking at the book on the bestseller shelf.

"It feels... strangely familiar..." Paimon fell into deep thought.

Ying reached out to take it!

Jiang Yi grabbed Ying's hand.

"Don't you want to take a look?" Ying teased.

Ying was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and picked up a book in an instant.

Then, open...

“……”After reading it, he fell silent.

"The sales of this book are quite good!" Paimon looked at the bookshelf. There was actually a sales ranking list on the bookshelf at Yaedo. Books with similar sales were placed together, and the layout was arranged invisible by sales.

"I'm telling you... Lord Jiang Yi... don't be in a hurry!" Kuroda, who had stayed far away to avoid being asked questions by the general, watched the actions of several people, holding his forehead and muttering.

"Isn't this exactly the same as the content of the book 'One Hundred Demons Record'?" Ying asked doubtfully, "Did someone copy your book?!"
