System: Master Your Life-Chapter 524 - 125: New Book Feedback, Before the Concert
Saturday.
At eight in the morning, after breakfast, they went to the city library.
Ning Yuhuan was still working on her thesis.
Xu Lin wasn’t as focused as Ning Yuhuan.
That morning, Xu Lin picked up four sci-fi classics to read.
"3 Body Problem," "Eternal End," "Dune," "Galactic Empire."
These are universally acknowledged top sci-fi novels, celebrated in the history of science fiction.
Xu Lin spent the entire morning finishing them.
Perhaps in the future, Xu Lin will pursue publishing literature; his idea is if he goes down that path, he’d write sci-fi novels. Reading sci-fi books now is akin to preparing in advance.
A little after eleven in the morning.
Xu Lin remembered releasing a new book at dawn and thought it must’ve passed review by now.
Xu Lin didn’t check Ranzhi’s replies on the work account but directly opened the writer’s backend.
The book indeed had been approved.
As for the feedback?
There weren’t many data points available in the backend because there were still many notifications from Miss Maybach’s novel under the "Mr. Xu" account, such as numerous messages, various monthly tickets and rewards, which caused interference.
It’s more straightforward to open this book directly.
Xu Lin opened the novel’s homepage.
In just one morning, the comments section had more than a hundred thousand comments, a remarkably exaggerated number in the online literature scene, surpassing anyone’s expectations. Xu Lin didn’t expect to receive so many comments within just a few hours.
"Finished reading it in one morning, the author writes so meticulously!"
"The writing style is as familiar as ever, curious if this is truly the author’s personal experience?"
"A beautiful senior confessed proactively, isn’t this way too romantic? As a goblin, I’m super envious!"
"As a female goblin, I noticed the senior captured Mr. Xu even before he succeeded, what kind of godly luck is this? It’s like winning a thirty-million jackpot lottery on the first try!"
"I really love this senior, pure devotion, can’t sleep at night!"
"Left wanting more, is there anything else? Why didn’t the author say anything when releasing a new book?"
Readers discussed passionately.
"My Senior and I" is merely a novella, the title seems casual, giving off the impression that the author didn’t even seriously think about the title.
The total word count is just over ninety thousand, so one can finish reading it in a day even if reading slowly, and for fast readers, just a few hours are enough; hence, most comments in the section are reviews.
Xu Lin glanced through the comments and felt quite satisfied.
Then there were the rewards; there were dozens of Golden Alliances already, almost reaching a hundred, not to mention Silver Alliance and regular Alliance Leaders; soon the top one hundred rewards list wouldn’t even have a spot for Silver Alliance.
This book is still fermenting. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Xu Lin also saw a screenshot of a Weibo hot search in the comments section; the novel was trending, and he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.
"Mr. Xu’s New Book."
The screenshot showed it at thirteenth place on the hot search, but when Xu Lin opened Weibo, it had risen to sixth place.
"Look, the novel is on fire."
Xu Lin showed the Weibo hot search to Ning Yuhuan.
"Oh!"
She opened her small mouth in surprise, didn’t expect it to trend, and even at sixth place.
"Isn’t it impressive?"
"Hubby is amazing!"
Her smile was bright as the stars, "Let me check the comments!"
Ning Yuhuan finally showed interest in something other than studying.
"I’ll add more plot later, write until our child is born."
Xu Lin thought for a moment and said, "How about I write twin dragons and phoenixes?"
"Mm!"
Ning Yuhuan nodded earnestly.
Actually, Ning Yuhuan really likes children and has considered having a baby with Xu Lin.
If a girl likes a boy from a physiological, mental, and spiritual level, she strongly desires to have children with him; this is the choice of genes, not subject to human will. When love reaches its deepest point, it’s about having children, which is simply the logic behind it.
"I’ll find a time to write it later."
Xu Lin thought it wasn’t urgent; a book is like a life story, it shouldn’t have a beginning without an end. Xu Lin planned to write until the child is born before concluding, so he hadn’t written an ending yet. He would slowly write and supplement it later.
After exiting Weibo, Xu Lin opened the work account again.
Ranzhi had sent over twenty messages, the last one being ten minutes ago.
Turns out, Ranzhi said the website’s higher-ups planned to sign his book, not just with an electronic contract and wait for it to go live for readers to subscribe and earn, but the website was attempting to sign his book with twenty million to acquire his copyright.
"Twenty million to sign my book?"
Xu Lin replied.
This book worth twenty million?
"Mr. Xu, you’re finally online."
Ranzhi: "Yes, exactly twenty million; the website wants to sign your book to acquire your copyright! grin.jpg"
Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Lin didn’t respond immediately, contemplating. He doesn’t currently lack money; twenty million seems a lot, but it isn’t something he urgently needs.
If signing, the book’s copyright would have to be shared with the website.
On the other hand, if the website wants to sign his book, it proves the book truly holds value.
The website’s sensitivity to market trends is much stronger than many online literature masters, and they know whether this book holds value and is worth investing in.
Xu Lin reflected on the novel’s plot, and realized it had a bit of a script-like writing style; perhaps there’s potential for adaptation into a youth-themed movie.
This type of film and television shows have considerable appeal in the domestic film market; while they may not be huge hits, they consistently remain popular.
