A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

November 1, Friday.

At this time, the temperatures in various provinces of Longguo were still hot, and the scorching sun was scorching the earth early in the morning.

But Song Kun got up early, washed and dressed, and went out immediately.

After all, the novel author Yuan Qing, who he had been thinking about for half a year, finally released his new work today.

Thinking back to his state last year, Song Kun still finds it a little funny.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞]

I saw the single volume of Youth Journey in a bookstore for no reason, and immediately became a fan of the novelist Yuan Qing from the southern province.

Later, I became crazy about the novel Anohana written by Yuan Qing.

When Song Kun knew that Yuan Qing was a cute high school girl, he had imagined that one day he would have a beautiful encounter with Yuan Qing at a fan meeting, and then fall in love with her like in the novel.

Then, when he was watching a live broadcast on TV half a year ago, he was confused and his mind collapsed when he found out that Yuan Qing's true body was actually a man.

But half a year has passed, and those are all in the past. His love for Yuan Qing's works will not be changed by whether "Yuan Qing" is a man or a woman.

"Parasyte!"

Song Kun silently recited this name in his heart.

If the magazine "Liuli Color" has a new work serialized, it will still be preheated and promoted two issues in advance.

Although I don't know why, Song Kun always feels that the "Liuli Color" magazine has little publicity for the new novel of Yuan Qing, a genius newcomer.

The new serialized novel has no posters posted in various bookstores, and the front page of the magazine does not give this work a close-up.

Even on the official website of Liuli Book Club, the promotional introduction of the work "Parasyte" is very remote.

However, Song Kun still has high expectations for this novel.

After all, the pen name "Yuan Qing" now has a high weight in his mind.

Although Yuan Qing is not yet a first-line novelist in Longguo, many first-line novelists are not as good as Yuan Qing in Song Kun's eyes.

Arriving at the bookstore, Song Kun paid 17 Longguo coins to buy a Liuli Color journal.

There are a total of 20 serialized novels in this journal, six of which were once published in Liuli Book Club's top journal "Liuli".

However, the serialization popularity did not meet the standard, so it was cut by the book club to be serialized in "Liuli Color".

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the popularity of these six works is slightly lacking in "Liuli", they have a clear advantage in the popularity of novels in "Liuli Color".

Song Kun turned to the page of "Parasyte" in the novel catalog while walking on the road.

The story

begins with an ordinary high school student wearing glasses, "Xin Yi" (Izumi Shinichi).

At the beginning of the story, the world is described from the side, and some inexplicable changes are taking place in society.

There are some man-eating monsters hidden in the city.

When Xin Yi got up in the morning, he found some indifferent voices muttering around him.

He thought he was hallucinating and didn't care.

At the beginning, some space was used to introduce the world view and the interpersonal relationships of the male protagonist Xin Yi.

His steady and reliable father, gentle and generous mother, and his female friend Li Mei (Murano Satomi) who he has a good impression of at school.

Some of the opening texts are the familiar foreshadowing plots of Song Kun.

After all, it is Yuan Qing, and everyone knows his works. Slow heat is an eternal theme.

It depends on how many chapters of his novel will slowly heat up before it starts to explode.

However,

after Song Kun continued to read, soon, his attention was attracted by the plot.

The novel uses flashbacks to describe what happened to Xin Yi last night from a God's perspective.

While he was sleeping in his dream, a strange creature like a cow-nosed beetle sneaked into his home, and

the goal was clear, directly from his nose, invaded his brain.

But after he sneezed, it was ready to bite into his right arm and invade his brain.

However, Xin Yi reacted quickly and tied his arm with a rope to limit the invasion of the insect creature.

Then, just when his parents rushed into his room thinking that he had an accident.

The wound on his arm was gone, and his parents even thought that he had hallucinated by taking banned drugs.

Song Kun thought this novel would be as plain as Yuan Qing's previous novels, but

unexpectedly, after reading a thousand words, he was completely immersed in the plot.

The right hand would automatically control the mobile phone when he dozed off, and

when Xin Yi saw the little girl was about to be hit by a car and subconsciously went to save the little girl, his right hand took the initiative to react and blocked in front of him, like an iron pillar, forcing the speeding car to stop with his body.

"Oh my, what is this?" Song Kun blinked.

"Is Mr. Yuanqing's novel not depressing? Are you going to write a passionate battle novel?"

This kind of novel plot opening made Song Kun subconsciously think that this novel was a passionate battle novel.

No matter how stupid Xin Yi was, he must have discovered that something was wrong with his right hand at this time. After returning home, under the threat of Xin Yi stabbing his right hand with a knife.

His right hand grew a mouth with sharp teeth and pupils with a cold look, and

he would communicate with Xin Yi.

My right hand is parasitized by a monster. Normally, my right hand can be controlled by me, but if the monster has this desire, it can immediately take over the control of Xinyi's right hand, browse the phone, read books, watch the news, and even evolve a mouth on its own. Come and eat.

"Holy shit, this setting." Song Kun suddenly became energetic.

"Does the male protagonist have an extra magical right hand?"

The "parasitic beast" Xiao You is forced to parasitize the male protagonist's right hand because his parasitic brain failed, and the male protagonist Xin Yi, who doesn't know why but is forced to have a shared destiny with Xiao You.

One is trying to survive, the other is trying to keep his right hand.

Although they are suspicious of each other, they have to accept each other.

"From now on, we must work together and cooperate to survive. There is no other way."

The mouth simulated by Xin Yi's right hand made a cold sound.

But Xin Yi, who was already in an extremely bad mood, felt even more angry when he heard this.

"Oh, this setting is quite interesting!"

Song Kun watched all the way to the present, and the more he read, the more he felt that the setting of this novel was quite innovative.

until

He has reached the end of the first chapter of the novel.

In the alley near home

A dog is eating its own kind.

When he saw this, he paused slightly.

The dog was found with its head split open and its body reorganized into various forms.

Blades, daggers, sticks, and even the dog's head sprouted fleshy wings and flew directly towards Xin Yi.

A battle breaks out between the two sides, but after all, readers will understand the mini-boss monster that appears in the first chapter. It is basically the protagonist's experience package, allowing the protagonist to express his existence.

Xiaoyou controlled Xinyi's right hand to turn into a sharp claw, and one hand skyrocketed more than ten meters, piercing the heart of the dog parasitized by the parasitic beast.

After reading the first chapter of Parasite Beast, Song Kun felt that he still had more to learn.

However, there is also a little bit of discomfort.

Honestly.

The first chapter of the novel "Parasite Beast" is very interesting. The setting, world view and other battles are refreshing to him.

In particular, parasitic beasts hide in human society, perhaps a dog, a rat, or a cockroach.

But as long as you are alone and encounter an individual parasitized by these creatures, they will open their big mouth at you and bite your head into pieces in one bite.

This type of novel is still very rare in the Dragon Kingdom.

but

Many fans in various major novel forums in Dragon Kingdom and Yuan Qing's novel fan group have started heated discussions about the first chapter of the novel Parasite Beast.

"It feels different from what I imagined Mr. Genkiyo's new work would be."

"I actually hope that Mr. Genkiyo will write a novel that touches everyone like going to the moon, rather than writing a novel with a combat theme."

"How can I tell that this novel is a battle-themed novel?"

"How can we guess this? The plot behind this novel is probably about the protagonist fighting side by side with the parasitic beast Xiaoyou, defeating countless similar people, and then reaching the peak of human combat power."

"Don't use your own ideas and experiences to judge Mr. Genkiyo! At the beginning of the series "To the Moon", many people complained that Mr. Genkiyo's novel would collapse. "To the Moon" later achieved results that are obvious to all."

"Honestly, I think Parasitic Beast is very interesting! Much more interesting than Chapter 1 of To the Moon and Unknown Flower Names."

"But I started with Going to the Moon and Entering the Crater. I also hope that he will write the second part of To the Moon. Although I don't want to be abused by him, I will feel a little disappointed if he purely transforms into a writer of passionate combat novels."

"Actually, everyone's main motivation for going to the moon has not been eliminated. Now when I see Mr. Genkiyo's novels, I will use it as a reference to Go to the Moon."

"No matter what, I support Mr. Yuanqing's novel and you are so picky about the first chapter of his novel. Besides, this kind of fantasy-themed novel may not really be a fighting novel. Who knows whether Mr. Yuanqing's plot will be better in the future. Will start abuse."

"Hahaha, the novel Parasite Beast shouldn't have a depressing plot. It's just some monsters eating people in the city."

Overall, the reviews for the first chapter of the novel Parasite Beast have been very good.

Xia Yan's fans complained, but they generally accepted the work.

After all, it is only the first chapter of the novel, and readers do not expect to see any ups and downs and touching plot in the first chapter.

It took seven chapters of To the Moon to prepare the reader for an emotional outburst in the eighth chapter. Unheard Flowers even prepared the entire plot, only to have the emotional outburst at the last moment of the novel.

And the parasitic beast

On the surface, it is a work about a battle between humans and monsters.

But in fact, the author introduces the discussion of the meaning of human existence on this planet in every detail of the work.

To humans, parasitic beasts are evil monsters, but to thousands of other species on the planet, what kind of existence are humans?

This work is an excellent work that will make those who read it think about these issues in various senses.

Just like Fullmetal Alchemist, if you only saw the bloody battle scenes, it would be too shallow. The reason why Fullmetal Alchemist can be called a masterpiece is because the exploration of human nature is too touching.

Ι

But now.

It can only be said that the work Parasite Beast is still in the process of laying out its world view.

After the first chapter was serialized, everyone's senses only stayed at a pretty good level.

The next day, the data on the twenty novels serialized in "Liu Li Color" was released.

The first issue of the Parasitic Beast novel series.

Voted fourteenth in the journal.

For a novel that book publishers don’t provide much publicity resources for, this voting data is actually pretty good.

After all, Xia Yan Goes to the Moon and Weiwen Hua Ming have accumulated a large number of fans. Both novels have sold an average of five million copies.

Even among the authors of the top-ranked works in "Liu Li Color", the single-book sales of their best-performing works in their novelist careers are not as high as To the Moon and Unknown Flowers.

As the contract agent for this work, Bai Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Send the novel data information to Xia Yan.

Fourteenth?

Xia Yan looked at the results information sent on his mobile phone, but his heart didn't move at all.

Anyway, he didn't expect this novel to have much influence in the first chapter, so he must be calm at this time.

"So. Do you remember this sound?"

In the activity classroom of the comic club

Right in front of the classroom, Mo Ran was controlling the electronic keyboard. Her fingers struck a note on the keys.

Mo Ran's voice suddenly became louder.

"Senior, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now." Xia Yan looked at Mo Ran's beautiful, slightly angry face and quickly coaxed her.

After all, after he joined the comic club, he spent the whole day bothering her to teach him some music theory knowledge that had little to do with comics, taking up other people's time and being distracted, which was really not good.

"well"

Interrupted by Xia Yan's daze, Mo Ran also sat on the chair and sighed.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister Mo Ran?" Xia Yan asked after seeing the sadness on her expression.

"My comic manuscript was rejected again." Mo Ran lay on the table and said somewhat boredly.

"These comic magazine companies in Shanghai really have no vision. I submitted articles to four companies, but none of them passed. The students in the school also have no vision. All the students joined the painting club and none of them joined our comic club."

"Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, senior sister." Xia Yan paused and asked after seeing Mo Ran's expression.

"If you want to become a cartoonist, wouldn't running this comics club be a waste of your time? It's been two months since school started, and the club can't recruit new people at all, so why not just disband it? Then focus on drawing comics?”

"How can that be done? I will be scolded to death by the seniors." Mo Ran rolled her eyes at Xia Yan.

"They just graduated, so I disbanded the comic club I inherited from them."

"The problem now is that there are not enough members. If there is no progress in the activities of the comic club, the student union will order us to dissolve the comic club."

"So the result of the activity is our club's work. If it can be serialized in a comic magazine, does it count as a success?" Xia Yan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, this is one of them. The full name of our club is Comics Research Club. Last year, there were only four people in our club. We gathered together all day long to read comics and talk about two-dimensional topics, just because the former president had a comic The work is being serialized, so... But this year, he graduated!" Mo Ran said.

"Is the threshold for magazine serialization in the Dragon Kingdom comic industry very high?" Xia Yan asked curiously.

For more than a year, he has been paying attention to things in the novel world. He really doesn’t understand much about the comics world.

Although I read comics on weekdays, I never pay attention to anything other than the content of comics.

"In terms of competitive pressure, it's similar to the novel industry." After Mo Ran glanced at Xia Yan, she became even more discouraged.

"Forget it, how can someone like you, who can easily serialize light novels in Liuli Publishing House, care about my troubles?"

"How easy it is. My new work, Parasite Beast, was approved for serialization only after it was submitted to serialization meetings four times in a row." Xia Yan said with a smile.

Xia Yan actually got along with Mo Ran this week and had a pretty good sense of this senior.

She is beautiful, generous, and very enthusiastic.

Although Xia Yan initially contacted her for the purpose of learning music theory and painting knowledge, now, seeing how troubled she is about this matter, he is also a little curious.

"Senior, can you let me read your comics?"

Xia Yan paused and took the initiative to ask

There is another chapter, I will just update it during the day tomorrow. Adjust your work and rest schedule. It’s not good to go to bed at one or two o’clock every day. It’s better for me to go to bed early and get up early and then write out the missed updates during the day.
