"Is this Mr. Xibei really alone?" The person who bought the five novels with the youth was our classmate Narusu.
Unlike the ignorant youth who worshipped Sibeya Roc, after returning home, Mushroom Narusu immediately started researching the five light novels for this month.
This month, he decided to participate in the light novel competition. The only model for this competition was the six light novels that were on sale.
Narusu spent a lot of effort and found the only book that hadn't been sold in a remote bookstore, "Sword and Saber Divine Realm". Only then did he buy all six light novels.
Mushroom Naushu had planned on reading them quickly and using a few hours to finish all six light novels, but when Mushroom Naushu started reading the first novel, he was completely engrossed.
By the time he finished reading all six books, three days had already passed.
In those three days, besides eating some simple instant noodles to maintain his life, Narusu spent all his energy on the six light novels. He seriously read all the light novels and even wrote a thick book of reading notes. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief and ask this question.
Is this Xibei Yapeng really alone?
When Narusu discovered that the authors of all five books were Xibei Yapeng, he was shocked and thought that Xibei Yapeng was a god.
But after reading carefully, Narusu discovered that Xibei Yapeng definitely wasn't alone because the writing style of the five novels was completely different.
Some of the books were concise, some liked to describe psychological activities, and some of the books described battle scenes very stylishly.
Although it wasn't that a writer couldn't imitate other writing styles, no matter how much they imitated, the writing would always reveal the writer's usual temperament.
However, these five books were different. The five books contained five completely different types of gas. It was obvious that they were written by five different people.
"This is really strange …" Narusu shook his head and prepared to go out and eat a meal to reward himself. He also wanted to chat with Xu Yuanxuan. Otherwise, eating instant noodles every day would hurt his body too much.
But just as Narusu was about to go out, the doorbell rang. When he opened the door, Xu Yuanxuan rushed in with six light novels in his arms.
"This light novel is too amazing!" Xu Yuanxuan immediately said as soon as he came in. Narusu rolled his eyes. It seemed that he would have to eat instant noodles today.
The two friends had an intense discussion about the light novel and how they felt after reading it for the past three days. The discussion lasted until the next morning, when the two of them finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
But the two of them already had a conclusion in their hearts about light novels.
First of all, they both thought that light novels were very amazing, but it wasn't the work itself that was amazing.
In fact, when talking about the work itself, Xu Yuanxuan and Narusu couldn't help but shake their heads.
Of the six light novels, "Love Metronome" was the only one that could barely be considered an excellent novel. The love story in the novel was able to touch the reader's soul.
The other novels were just like what the great writers and critics said. They were complete trash. The writing was crude, the language was dry, and the emotions were thin. Anyway, other than the excellent plot and imagination, there was no problem in calling them trash in other aspects.
As literary youths, Xu Yuanxuan and Narusu both felt that the light novel was completely toilet reading.
Moreover, every time they finished a page, they could tear it off and wipe their farts. They basically had no interest in reading it a second time.
But they both had to admit that the light novel was amazing. It was because the attraction of light novels to young people was unparalleled.
The reason why they thought the light novel was trash was mainly because the two literature enthusiasts were very high level. They could be ranked first out of 100 people. In their eyes, the writing of the light novel was terrible.
But they found that if they looked at it from the perspective of an ordinary person, they would find that the writing of the light novel was too good.
The entire novel was filled with colloquialisms, and it was the grammar of everyday dialogue. There wasn't even a single uncommon word. Even a primary school graduate could easily read these novels.
Then, for those with reading difficulties, light novels were basically no obstacles. Ordinary people didn't care about whether the writing was beautiful or not. They could understand it, and that was enough.
Moreover, the words were similar to common sayings, which could arouse the affection and recognition of young people.
Most importantly, the light novel didn't have any meaning. It was all about the word "cool".
In the beginning, the main character was trapped. Then, he killed his way through. In the end, when he faced an undefeatable opponent, he was able to use an attack speed that surpassed the limit.
This made people want to ridicule him. The system's attack speed limit was right there. For a player to be able to surpass this limit was simply too ridiculous. This was the game officials using cheats to forcefully win the competition.
It was just like in the real world, where the laws of physics dictated that it was impossible to fly under Earth's gravity. But the main character's strength exploded. Relying on the strong fetters in his heart, he jumped dozens of meters high. This was nonsense. It was the kind of thing that Newton would jump out of his coffin if he saw it.
The other light novels were basically the same. The main character was having a good time. Perhaps he would occasionally suffer some setbacks, but in the end, he would be able to turn defeat into victory and advance triumphantly.
In the eyes of the traditional literature circle, as well as those who had a little bit of literary attainment, this kind of story was indeed trash.
But it was exactly this kind of garbage that made Xu Yuanxuan and Narushi read for three days straight, and they didn't stop until they finished all six novels. In the end, they even wished they were Kirito with dual swords, which was very thought-provoking.
In the end, the two of them concluded:
There was no doubt that light novels were trash.
But at the same time, there was no doubt that writing light novels could make one rich and famous.
"Narushi, are you still going to participate in this competition?" Xu Yuanxuan still had some reservations as a scholar and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you want to buy a house in Tokyo?" Narushi asked.
"Yes!" Xu Yuanxuan nodded.
"Isn't that right? Besides, light novels don't necessarily have to be trash. The key lies in the person who wrote them. We can each write a novel with depth and content that matches the characteristics of a light novel!" Narushi's words instantly woke him up. Xu Yuanxuan took his book and went home to write light novels in preparation for the competition.
And just as the two of them concluded, light novels were trash, but they were still profitable.
While the two of them were doing their best to research light novels, the entire light novel industry, and even the entire book market, was completely stirred up by light novels.
On the 4th of May, Dengeki Bunko bought an entire page of advertisements in the most famous newspapers in Fusang. There was only one sentence on the advertisement: "Congratulations to Click Bunko's light novel sales, breaking 900,000 copies in three days! The light novel 《Sword and Saber Divine Realm》 has broken 400,000 copies. "
Then, the sales of six light novels were listed below, and three of them had sold more than 100,000 copies. The other two had sold more than 50,000 copies.
Apart from that, there were no words or pictures.
It was such a simple advertisement, but it made everyone in the industry explode.
Six light novels sold 900,000 copies in three days, and one of them even broke 400,000 copies.
What kind of concept was this?
This was a super revitalization of the Fusang light novel industry!!
When was the last time a light novel broke 400,000 copies in three days?
That was in the 1970s. It was already the 1990s, and there was still a light novel that could sell 400,000 copies in three days!!
The entire light novel industry was completely shocked.
After the initial shock, there was another uproar, followed by cursing.
That's right, the light novel industry was cursing. Even though the light novel industry's results were shocking, and there was a great chance that it could change the world, the entire light novel industry was cursing.
"Trash!"
"Not even worthy of being toilet paper!"
"Children should never read such light novels. They'll go crazy just from reading them!"
"If my son dares to read such light novels, I'll beat him to death!"
Such comments kept appearing on various media outlets. All the traditional light novel writers, without exception, began criticizing light novels harshly. Those who didn't know better would think that light novels had killed their entire family.
Under the criticism of these people, light novels had already become a demon king that would cause the world to fall.
But as the saying goes, the louder the criticism, the more popular it became. With the criticism of these traditional literature writers, light novels attracted even more people's curiosity.
Many people who originally had no interest in light novels started reading a light novel out of curiosity after entering a bookstore, and then took the light novel home with them.
Two weeks later, Dengeki Bunko, who was still cursing the light novel for bringing disaster to the country and the people, suddenly bought a full-page advertisement for Dengeki Bunko once again.
"Congratulations to Clickbait Bunko's light novel sales for breaking 5 million copies in 15 days! The light novel 'The Sword and Saber Divine Realm' has broken 2.4 million copies! "
"It's over, the Yamato people are finished!" The literature writers all cried out in grief, and then they all went home to study light novels, trying to figure out how to write them.
Don't misunderstand, they were only studying light novels to better criticize such trash!
