Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 78: A fight; 60 chapters written in a frenzy.

"Don't mention it. Hsing Chang Publishing House in Taiwan has raised its prices. How about 1 per copy?"

Editor Gu Yue sent Chen Yang another message.

Receive information.

Chen Yang now understood why they had raised prices.

First orders exceeded 8000.

If they don't raise prices after achieving such results, then they're really short-sighted.

Of course.

At 1 yuan per book, it was already a very high price at the time.

If each volume in Taiwan contains 6 words, then with 100 million words, approximately 16 volumes could be published.

16 books would cost 16 yuan.

In 07, one could earn 16 yuan a year... that was practically the level of a tycoon.

If a reader doesn't reach Chen Yang's level of subscriptions, 16 is definitely more than the number of online serializations.

This is why some online novel authors stop updating their works.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yang said, "Okay."

Taiwan only has such a small market, so there's not much room for further price increases.

Chen Yang agreed.

"Okay, the editor will send you the contract in Traditional Chinese later, please take a look."

"Ok."

"By the way, Gu Yueju, will there be sample copies of the book published in Taiwan?"

"Usually."

"Could you give me 50 sets?"

"50 sets? That many?"

"This is my first time publishing in traditional Chinese characters, so I wanted to keep it as a memento."

"I'll talk to them, it should be fine."

This is to make up for the regrets of the previous life.

That afternoon.

Chen Yang then received a message from his contracted editor, Zhu Zi.

The contract was certainly not signed the same way as before.

Because Chen Yang is under 18 years old.

Therefore, some additional contracts were added.

Fortunately, according to the Contract Law, citizens under the age of 18, but over the age of 16, can sign contracts independently under certain conditions.

Otherwise, he would have to go to his father, and then it would be troublesome to explain.

……

However, the publication of traditional Chinese characters was just a side story.

Chen Yang values ​​the online market for online literature the most.

"The Vast World" has surpassed 8000 first-day subscriptions, and this is just the beginning.

Chen Yang needed to carefully plan the next steps.

A detailed outline is essentially a chapter-by-chapter outline.

Of course, some authors don't have detailed outlines, but that won't have a big impact.

But Chen Yang was used to writing like that.

Although a detailed outline may only have one or two sentences per chapter, it can help prevent writer's block when writing.

At the same time, one can easily tell where there are any errors in the writing.

More importantly.

The detailed outline is like a table of contents.

Although it wasn't completely finished, it allowed for a more detailed grasp of the entire novel, preventing it from falling apart.

Speaking of writing failure.

This is a mistake that many authors make.

Even top authors sometimes make mistakes.

The detailed outline is somewhat helpful in this regard.

Besides.

Chen Yang wrote the detailed outline in order to increase subscriptions.

Yes.

Breaking 8000 initial subscriptions is just the beginning, not the end.

Although Chen Yang is a reborn monster.

But this world has a lot of exceptionally talented individuals who are blessed with good fortune.

Is the reborn monster more powerful?

Or is it the gifted genius who is more powerful?
We really need to have a showdown.

To compete with them on the same stage in the future, I need to reach 10,000.

He who has not reached 10,000 followers is not a true god.

Chen Yang has always been heading in this direction.

While writing the detailed outline, Chen Yang adopted a writing style that is very novel for the current online novel community.

Competitive PvP writing style.

……

"It's so great after it's released, it's all about PvP."

"Yes, the continuous PK battles were really exciting to watch."

"The updates are a bit infrequent. Could you please update a few more chapters?"

These are comments from a group of book lovers over the past few days.

But it's a pity.

There will be no further updates.

Although Chen Yang also wanted to update more often.

To know.

I started preparing for my career as a writer back in 06.

For this reason, they created the God Contract, the Platinum Contract, and so on.

Thus, a group of authors discovered for the first time that writing novels could earn money.

Not only can you make money writing novels, but if you write well, you can even do it full-time.

As a result, a number of full-time writers emerged during this period.

Since it's a full-time job.

Then writing is your job.

The typing started to pick up at this point.

The first batch of online novel writing champions naturally has to be Xue Da Da.

While others were still writing 3,000 or 4,000 words a day, Xue Da was already writing 10,000 words a day.

Not only does he write 10,000 words a day.

He had a record of writing over 10,000 words in 40 consecutive days. This might not seem like much in later generations.

But back then, it was practically a tentacle monster.

It's a pity that Xue Dada left Qidian last year.

Even though Xue Dada left Qidian, his style of writing has been passed down.

A host of full-time authors have also started working hard to update their content.

Like Old Wang from the cabbage group.

He's been updating a lot more frequently these past few days.

Are there any benefits to updating?
Nature has its advantages, and many of them.

Given similar plot points, would readers prefer 4,000 words a day or 10,000 words a day?

Without a doubt, it was 10,000 words a day.

In addition, online novels are not as widespread as they were in later years.

Large portions that satisfy your hunger... that's a killer feature.

Chen Yang is about to take the college entrance examination.

He can't update the series at once.

Therefore, he had to think of another way.

This is another method.

This refers to the competitive PK style that Chen Yang mentioned in his detailed outline.

Why are online articles able to attract so many people?

Besides his numerous innovations, his writing techniques are also constantly evolving and being updated.

This competitive PvP style was summarized by a group of authors over several decades in the previous life.

for example.

For example, the PK (player versus player) writing style in fantasy novels.

Generally, previous battles, no matter how brilliant or intense they were, would only last about ten chapters.

Or you could say you're amazing, that you can write 20 chapters.

At most, it will be 30 chapters.

However, after online novels developed into competitive PvP (player versus player) genres in later generations...

He can write 50, 60, or even more chapters of such a PK in one go.

This is certainly not spam.

If you add filler content, readers will definitely abandon the book.

Then.

How can one avoid padding the page, yet still maintain reader engagement and consistently update a large volume of content during a major event?

There are many solutions.

One of them is this kind of competitive PK.

The so-called competitive PK is to introduce the PK from traditional sports competitions into the PK in the fantasy world.

Like the FIFA World Cup.

According to the writing style of traditional fantasy novels.

The 32 teams will compete against each other, but in reality, it won't be many games before the championship finals arrive.

However, the FIFA World Cup is divided into 8 groups. The 8 groups first compete in group matches, and then the top 16 teams are determined.

The benefits are obvious.

The number of PK matches has increased, and so have the highlights.

The scope of what has been written has also increased.

Moreover, this makes the competition fairer.

If it's a two-on-two battle right from the start, some top contenders might be unlucky and get eliminated by the strongest in the first round.

Or some lucky ones, even though their skills aren't that great, manage to break into the top ten.

One example of this is the game "Zhu Xian".

Why was Zhang Xiaofan able to make it into the top four in the novel "Zhu Xian"?
The problem lies in the unfairness, or rather, the loopholes, in the PK rules.

If only Qingyun Sect had set up a fairer PK rule back then.

I'm afraid Zhang Xiaofan won't make it into the top four.

It's very likely he'll be eliminated in the early rounds.

after all.

If Zhang Xiaofan were to demonstrate his strength, his use of demonic weapons in the earlier rounds would be exposed prematurely.

Instead of having incredible luck, he advanced without even needing to compete.

of course.

It's not that the PK (player versus player) style of writing in Jade Dynasty is bad.

In 2003, this style of writing was perfectly acceptable and even had many interesting aspects.

But as Chen Yang has always said, online literature is developing, and so are writing techniques.

The same writing style might have been fine in the past, but readers will complain about it now.

As readers' standards rise, you must improve your writing techniques to meet their demands.

For greater fairness.

As fantasy novels evolved, they incorporated competitive PK rules from sports.

But while it's called an introduction, it actually represents a further development of it.

So how will Chen Yang's side be written?

The current plot has developed to the point where a group of young talents are competing against each other.

The total number of players in the PK is 80.

If it were someone else, they might be divided into ten groups first, and the ten groups would compete against each other.

Then, after the ten rounds of competition, the remaining contestants will compete again using certain rules.

But Chen Yang took a simpler, more direct, and fairer approach.

Instead of using a group format, he used a format where 80 people competed in turn.

In other words, everyone must fight against everyone else in the arena.

Earn 1 point for each win.

The player with the highest score is the champion.

According to this rule, each person must play a total of 79 games.

He can encounter all the opponents in the arena, regardless of his role.

This is not Chen Yang's original work.

When Chen Yang first saw this style of writing, he was utterly stunned.

He never imagined that PvP could be done this way.

He never expected this.

Some people can write over 60 chapters about a single PK (player versus player) match.

Even though it only has 60-plus chapters, each chapter is extremely interesting.

The more he read, the more exhilarating it became, like reading the later stages of a fantasy novel—a feeling of overwhelming urgency and irresistible urgency.
