Chapter Seventy-Five: A Turning Point

As a veteran otaku, An Yilun is also no stranger to the Sneaker Newcomer Award held by Kadokawa Bunko, one of the three royal families. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He opened the website of the newcomer award with ease, typed in the search and found RE0, and clicked into it.

Although I learned from Natsuyu and Machida editors that RE0's current data is quite bad.

But An Yilun still didn't expect that the data of the book would be so bad-

Click on a hundred and a few to recommend, and the recommendation is close to a hundred, ranking at the bottom of the one hundred and ninety newcomer awards.

An Yilun also pushed his glasses, "...... It seems that the situation is really a bit grim. ”

Originally, according to his thoughts, with the strength of RE0, even if it is a mid-term entry, it should be able to rank in a good position.

After all, the strength is there, and with a little writing alone, this novel can outperform most of the works in the newcomer award.

But the current situation is too far from what he expected.

"Sure enough, it's because the exposure is too low. An Yilun also groaned slightly.

In fact, after the Newcomer Award started for a period of time, there were still a lot of entries that were temporarily contested.

However, it is extremely rare for RE0 to wait for the newcomer award to be halfway through the competition.

At least, in the more than a decade since the Sneaker Newcomer Award was founded, something like this has only happened once.

That was four years ago.

At that time, there was a work, like RE0, that waited until the Sneaker Newcomer Award was more than half of the time before temporarily participating in the competition.

It started off a lot behind, but at the end of the Sneaker Prize, it managed to finish in the top three and take the gold prize of the Sneaker Newcomer Reward.

And that work is called "Part-time Job, Lord Demon".

Although the novel didn't win the big prize in the end, everyone knows that if it didn't come out of the competition half the time, but participated from the beginning, he would definitely win the big prize.

This is also the only case in which an interim submission can win an award other than RE0.

It's just a slight difference that the author of "Part-time Job Demon King-sama" - Satoshi Hara is not a real newcomer.

Although Satoshi Wada made his debut with this book, he had serialized several works in other libraries under other pen names long before his debut, and he already had a lot of fans.

And "Part-time Job, Lord Demon", was able to quickly rush to the list as a dark horse, and the credit of these fans is indispensable.

This is also why, An Yilun also believes that the reason why RE0 cannot rise is because the exposure is too low.

"Then let's hurry up and write the manuscript. ”

Thinking about it, An Yilun also quit the website and created a new document.

As for how to promote light novel works, An Yilun, who has been a blogger for so long, is still quite experienced, and has also given a lot of works that he thinks are okay but are not very popular.

And most of these works have been brought back to life because of his promotion, such as the love metronome of Teacher Xia Shizi, which escaped the end of the halving.

Of course, there are also many works that are still hitting the street after An Yilun is also promoted.

This can only be said to be force majeure.

After all, publicity is only a means, and whether popularity can be revived because of this, in the final analysis, depends on the work itself.

However, An Yilun is still very confident in RE0, believing that this is an excellent work that will quickly become popular as long as it is publicized and expanded.

Shaking his head, not thinking about anything else, An Yilun also began to concentrate on typing.

In fact, with the attention of the blog, it is very simple to promote it, and a few simple words can have a good effect.

However, An Yilun obviously didn't want to be so perfunctory, so he calmed down and coded words, and spent an hour writing a 3,000-word promotional document.

In the document, An Yilun also wrote about the excellence and highlights of RE0, as well as his personal opinions.

Of course, he won't write the specific plot, just click to the end, which will also attract fans to the website of the Sneaker Newcomer Award to support RE0.

After uploading the written document to the blog, An Yilun also quit the website.

Although it was very late, more than twelve o'clock, An Yilun suddenly remembered the reply he had just seen, and many fans hoped that he could quickly launch the strategy of "Sister Love".

So An Yilun also gritted his teeth, brewed a cup of coffee, and prepared to fight all night.

...

Since he started working at the café, Xia Yu wrote Sword Art Online when he was in school, and he went to work at night, although he was a little busy, but it was very fulfilling.

In such an unhurried pace, time passed quickly, and it was Thursday.

In the past few days, RE0's data popularity, although it has grown a lot, is still pitifully deserted.

And An Yilun's recommendation on his personal blog does not seem to have any effect.

Seeing this situation, the mood of the major editors in Kadokawa Bunko sank, and they were not very optimistic about the next trend of RE0.

After all, there is only one week left for the newcomer reward.

In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to rush from the bottom position to the top 15 on the list to compete for the newcomer award.

It is also for this reason that Machida Enko has called more than once in the past few days to apologize to Xia You.

In her opinion, if it weren't for her own assertions, with the strength of RE0, as long as she did a good job of publicity, it would be almost a sure thing to become a popular work at the moment.

If you do some packaging, it may not be a super masterpiece like IS.

After all, both are works that create a new genre, one is the campus mecha stream, and the other is the reincarnation stream of another world.

But this originally beautiful idea was shattered because of himself, which made Machida Yuanzi extremely self-reproachful.

In the past few days, the faces of the president and editor-in-chief have also been very ugly.

And Xia You smiled bitterly, but also couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Although he was already ready for RE0 to hit the streets, and had already started to write Sword Art Online, he still had some expectations in his heart, hoping that it would rush forward.

After all, no matter how you say it, RE0 was also written by Xia You with a lot of effort, and it can be regarded as a work that he is very confident in.

But now that the hope is getting smaller and smaller, even Xia You is about to think that there is no time.

The turning point has finally appeared.
