Chapter 20: Reviving Cthulhu

“…… Okay, five chapters are enough. ”

Another day passed, and Ji Zhuo stumbled a little again, and wrote two or three chapters after deletion, deletion, and revision.

I started to prepare for the release of a new book.

Sitting in front of the computer, Ji Zhuo skillfully copied and pasted the five chapters he had written into a document.

Then he sent it directly to his editor-in-charge.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Revival Cthulhu". TXT。

Edit: Ready for a new book? Let me see. ”

"The other party has successfully received the document 'Recovery Cthulhu'"

Before Ji Zhuo could send a message, the editor replied to the message.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay.

Edit: Hmm. ”

After two short sentences, there was no news for the time being.

Ji Zhuo sat in front of the computer, waiting for the editor's reply,

Waiting for the editor to give the book a 'death declaration' of good wishes.

Western fantasy medieval background, alternate world, foreign indigenous protagonists, niche themes.

On this set, Ji Zhuo believes that with his writing and plot that is only six o'clock, and five points of inspiration,

It's definitely stable.

This is not edited to persuade me to cut over again,

Then I don't cut it, and then the book just pounces.

I'll just take a million encouragement money every month, and when I want to see a higher level of encouragement, I'll open a new book.

Mei Zizi thought.

It seems that good wishes are already in place.

“…… Anyway, where can you hire a maid...... Is this legal? ”

Ji Zhuo had already fallen into deep thought, thinking.

……

The other side.

Also in the magic capital,

The first reading novel headquarters office building,

It was the time when the editor went to work, and some people silently looked at the manuscript in the background, and some people also whispered a few simple words.

Ji Zhuo's editor-in-charge pen and ink originally sat at his desk, looking at the newly released novels of Shiyue.com in the last day or two to see if there was anything worth signing up.

At this time, I received a submission from Ji Zhuo.

I still have an impression of Ji Zhuo, pen and ink naturally.

He also finished reading the book of mortal cultivators, although he was limited by the ability to write and set off the atmosphere,

and the slow pace in the early stage, and the short update period of the whole novel, which led to the book's performance being too good.

But on the whole, it's still well written, otherwise there wouldn't be so many supporters.

Otherwise, the editor, who reads a lot of novels in one day, will not be able to read it all.

"Revive Cthulhu?"

Waiting for the document to be downloaded, pen and ink first glanced at the title of the novel,

I couldn't help frowning.

'Cthulhu' he really knows,

I've seen a few novels with similar themes before, but the result is basically that I can't find a house.

This theme is too niche, and there is no work that carries the explosion.

Most readers have little idea of the word.

It is estimated that with this title, the editor-in-charge can brush away more than half of the readers.

When most readers see this title, they can only feel inexplicable, and there is a high probability that they will directly cross it away.

If you don't click on it, there is naturally no question of whether readers like it and will stay.

But I didn't rush to make any conclusions.

I haven't read the content of the novel yet.

The pen and ink clicked on this submission document,

I flipped through it roughly, and there were five chapters in total, with 10,000 words.

I dragged the document back to the beginning and looked at it more carefully.

The first is the introduction.

"Synopsis: In the roar of steam locomotives, in the whispers of evil gods.

It's a chaotic and twisted world of Cthulhu, and you'll pay the price as you gain knowledge and power.

Remember, it's not you who chase knowledge, it's knowledge that chases you. ”

Looking at this introduction, Bimo frowned again,

It's not that this profile is bad.,If you look closely, you can see that it's famous.,

Even the pen and ink editor can think of some interesting content.

But the problem is that most readers don't look at it.

And this introduction is still an old problem, too stream of consciousness,

Although there is a sense of mystery on the whole, the content of the whole introduction is wide.

It doesn't reflect the selling point of this book at all.

The reader is completely inexplicable and has no idea what is written.

In his eyes as an editor, the introduction and the title of the novel are more like the slogan of a commodity.

If you want to sell the product, in addition to the product itself, you may also need a good publicity point.

Now a brief introduction,

It is bound to make some readers who click in give up clicking on the chapter again, and just quit to continue looking for the book.

But it's still inconclusive.

It's really because Ji Zhuo has a criminal record.

After all, the title and introduction of the book "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" are not very good, and the content still relies on the content to retain readers.

So I clicked on the pen and ink again, and read the content of the submission carefully.

“…… It has been raining for a month in a row, and the humid air has made the corners of the walls climb with mildew.

But Howard doesn't care about these ......"

Look at the title and introduction of this novel, you know that it is a Western fantasy, and then you see that the protagonist is a foreign name.

The pen and ink are not much surprised,

Read on.

“…… Howard asked, "...... Will I have a chance to archaeology in the future? ”。

Ampton smiled, "Of course, sir. You'll get more archaeological opportunities than before, and you'll be more dangerous.

You know, it's not you chasing knowledge, it's knowledge that's chasing you.

From the first time you come into contact with these things, those bitch things will keep chasing you and keep you in touch with these inexplicable things. ””

Although I looked at it carefully,

However, there are only five chapters in total, and it took less than ten minutes to read it.

After reading it, I first felt that the author's ability to describe the writing seemed to have become stronger, which was reflected between the lines.

Then, the pen and ink fell into contemplation.

How to say it,

He feels that this book is okay, but most of it can't be popular.

The subject matter is too niche, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for the readers of "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" to follow because of the different subject categories.

In addition, there are various questions from the introduction of the title to the background of the story, which increases the difficulty for readers to substitute.

Previously, the pen and ink looked at these chapters and submitted them more slowly.

In addition to reading carefully, there is also the problem that the whole content looks a bit tiring.

Because of the relatively unfamiliar Western people, there is a lack of understanding of the Western medieval background and the content of the Cthulhu Mythos.

This is true for him as an editor, not to mention as a reader.

After thinking about it, he typed two sentences and went back.

"Editor: I've read the book, how can I say it, the content is still good."

In the study, in front of the computer,

Looking at the editor's reply, Ji Zhuo's eyes lit up,

However, there must be buts.

"Edit: But, it looks too tired. You write fantasy, Western fantasy type, the Western overhead eaves century background is barely acceptable.

But the subject matter is too niche, and readers don't take the Cthulhu Mythos seriously, and if you come to develop this worldview on your own, you use a lot of space, and it's easy to slow down the pace.

In addition, do you want to change the background of the protagonist? It is written that he is crossing, and there is no need to change anything else, and there is no need to mention it in the follow-up, just to make the reader feel more immersed when he sees it. ”

Looking at the editor who really said but, and the words that followed but followed,

Ji Zhuo had a smile on his face, the editor's opinion is the same as mine!

It's unstable!

What you want is a lack of sense of substitution on the part of the reader.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: big guy, I still think it's easier to write that the protagonist is a native native, this kind of background, the protagonist is traversal, and it's easy to play."

"Edit: What about the protagonist's golden finger?

Clumsy and extraordinary: it was the prayer and the pattern he got at the beginning, which pointed to Azathoth, the creator god of the Cthulhu world, and he could pronounce it when it mattered, when he had to do so. The evil god can also resist it.

Edit: Then this world has strange powers, right, what about the power system, why didn't I see it? ”
