The Shocking Eunuch, Reborn as a Literary Girl

What kind of translation is Chapter 55?
Chiya Umehara herself was somewhat surprised by the current situation.

At first, she knew that her book would definitely be a hit.

But in her opinion, this will take some time.

This timeframe doesn't refer to the current few days.

Instead, it could be several months, a year or two, or even longer.

After all, the market size of light novels is what it is. In Japan, it is almost impossible to become popular solely through light novels.

The basic path to mainstream success is for a light novel publisher to recognize its potential and then adapt it into a manga or anime.

Then, by gaining popularity through animation, they can boost the sales of light novels.

In other words, for a book to truly gain widespread recognition, it is 99% certain that significant results will only be achieved after it is adapted into a comic or anime.

It's really not enough to just talk about the market size of light novels; it's hard to say if it's even one-tenth the size of online novels.

Therefore, in her initial mind, she would consider it a great success if she could sell 10,000 sets in a month.

She even considered starting a live stream to boost sales if sales were really bad.

She not only needs to boost sales in Japan, but she also needs to find ways to boost sales in China.

Similar to "Hello, I am Arisa Yuki, please support 'Arya's Prophecy'"
To everyone's surprise, before anything had even been done, sales had already been a resounding success.

What else is there to say?
Just pop the champagne and you're good to go!

She went online and to bookstores to investigate and found that the book's success was largely due to the illustrations drawn by Ruriko Chishima.

Many people are initially attracted by the cover's appearance and want to buy it to see what it's all about.

After buying it and reading it, I found it to be really interesting. I discovered that not only is the cover attractive, but the content is also very insightful.

So they continued advertising.
The book's popularity is currently snowballing, with both its reputation and sales increasing. However, this snowballing was undoubtedly initially driven by Ruriko Chishima's illustrations.

Thinking of this, Chiya Umehara felt grateful to her in his heart.

At the same time, the editor also sent me a message.

"Your new book is selling incredibly well, and most importantly, the reviews are excellent."

Although this book's absolute sales are not particularly high at present, it has already attracted the attention of the library's senior management, and everyone thinks you have great potential.

If things continue like this, it feels like very quickly, all sorts of adaptation and promotional resources will be arranged.

You need to work harder; please start preparing for the second volume as soon as possible.

It's completely on the right track now.

Now, the first volume of "The Prophecy of Arya" has had a very good start.

This volume has earned a good reputation in the light novel community, and its sales look promising, so there won't be any shortage of money in the short term.

Moreover, for Chiya Umehara, this volume was merely a "prelude" for her, and the plot was far from reaching its climax.

Just like when she wrote about the Phoenix Clan in her previous life.

Actually, the book "Phoenix Clan" only became truly viral when the third volume was completed.

At that time, the third volume of "Phoenix Clan" had laid the groundwork for the world view and character settings of the first two volumes, and it created a plot that was larger in scale and more dramatic than before, which instantly ignited the popularity and created a very popular character.

Nowadays, the pacing of "The Prophecy of Arya" is actually much slower than when she wrote about the Phoenix Clan.

So it might take even longer for the plot to reach the climax she's been anticipating.

only.
It's not even at that point in the story yet, but it's already so popular.

She didn't even dare to imagine the terrifying impact it would have when that time actually came.
Furthermore, Japan's animation and manga industries are so developed, and their influence overseas is so great. Just thinking about the future, and how her novels might be adapted into all sorts of works, allowing the whole world to read them, fills her with an indescribable sense of excitement.

Transcending language and national boundaries, allowing one's stories to be truly seen by people all over the world.
You have to understand, this is something she never accomplished in her previous life.
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but get excited.

However, she quickly calmed down.
Those things are all too far in the past.

Although the novel has had a good start, it will probably take a long time for its influence to grow and for it to be adapted into a comic book or anime.

I'll have to wait until my novel has been updated a few more volumes and the content is a bit richer before I can do that.

The wonderful future I envision may indeed come to pass, but not now.

It's more like the time when the seeds have just been planted, but haven't grown yet and can't be harvested.

so.
"I can't rush things, I can't rush things, I need to calm down."

After taking two deep breaths, Chiya Umehara finally managed to suppress his agitation.

Regardless of her success in Japan, Chiya Umehara always kept her influence in China in mind.

Even if you don't care about the Chinese market, it's okay.

After all, she is no longer Chinese, and the novels she is writing are not in Chinese.

As long as you serve the Japanese market well, you will naturally become popular when the time is right.

But... how should I put it?

Perhaps it's due to a kind of obsession.

Even though she is no longer benevolent, she still cares a lot about her influence in China.

I want to regain the approval of those who once doubted me.

With a new identity.
But it is still the soul of the past.

With this in mind, she went to Chinese websites full of anticipation and searched for the keywords "Arisa" and "The Prophecy of Arya".

turn out
"It doesn't seem to be generating much discussion."

Yes.

Currently, when you search for Arisa Yuki on Bilibili, the most popular videos that appear are still those from two months ago when she was writing "60,000 words a day".

That incident did indeed become widely publicized, and even many Chinese people know about it.

But people don't seem to have paid much attention to her novels because of this.

Her subsequent little incidents in the Japanese light novel community went completely unnoticed.

She was somewhat unwilling to accept this situation.

So I did some searching to see if anyone was translating their novel into Chinese.
Finally, on a niche Japanese light novel forum, I found someone sharing their novels and translating them into Chinese.

However, the Chinese version is not "Aria's Prophecy", but the web version "I Gained the Ability to Know Important Information in Advance After Transmigrating to Another World".

And
First of all, the translation is not complete, and the updated content is still from half a month ago.

Secondly, the translation is utter nonsense.

It appears to be machine-translated by AI with human editing.

This made Chiya Umehara extremely angry.

"What on earth is this thing???"
