Chapter 15: Issue 1
In Southern Province, there are many kinds of light novel periodicals that are popular and have a certain degree of influence on the market.
But in addition to those well-known periodicals in the country, the most familiar novel periodicals in Southern Province have to be the five major light novel book clubs in Southern Province, Yunding Library, Qingkong Library, fantasy literature, cherry blossom library, and red maple literature.
The people who buy these periodicals include office workers, students, teachers, and people of all ages and professions.
Basically, people don't think that a person in his twenties or thirties will be a bad thing to take out a youth novel publication on the subway and read it intently.
Because the social atmosphere is like this, the Dragon Kingdom society does not have too many colored glasses for the second ape lovers.
Near noon, more and more people came to buy the latest issues in front of major book, newspaper and bookstores.
The five major light novel periodicals and book companies in Southern Province are in competition with each other, but they are not brainless and stubborn competition.
For example, Red Maple's flagship journal "Red Maple" is released on Wednesdays and Sundays, while the best-selling journal "Blue Sky" under Qingkong Books is released on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
In addition, the flagship publications of several top book publishers in Southern Province also have similar staggered release dates.
Otherwise, on the same day, everyone's journals are crowded into a bunch for sale, and readers will also choose to make difficulties, and the final result is that everyone's journal sales will decline anyway, and there is nothing wrong with it, of course, we will try to avoid this situation.
As for "Instant Fanghua", it and "Red Maple" are both three-day periodicals, and the release date is actually the same day as Red Maple.
The first choice for book lovers cultivated by the Red Maple Book Club over the years will of course be "Red Maple", but there will also be a considerable number of people..... I will choose to buy the two periodicals "Red Maple" and "Instant Fanghua" together, after all, they will be sold on the same day. The price is not expensive, "Red Maple" is priced at 15 yuan per copy, and "Instant Fanghua" is 12 yuan.
Ni Na is one of them, her family is in the center of Nancheng, she grew up in this city, and she grew up watching the publications of "Red Maple Literature".
Even now that I am an adult, the habit of buying periodical readings for Red Maple Literature has not changed.
"Let me see....In the issue of "Red Maple", there is a new serialized novel "Feng Ming"....... It seems that "Dawn" should have been cut in half, and this novel replaced the serial position.... That novel should have been cut in half a long time ago, and it was ugly to death. Ni Na said to herself.
After she got home, she put "Red Maple" aside first, but first set her eyes on "Instant Fanghua".
This is her reading habit, starting with the journal serialized novels that she is slightly not interested in, and then finishing the journal serialized novels that she is most interested in.
In this way, every time she reads a serialized novel, she can be full of anticipation for the next novel she is about to read, and she will not be like everyone else, after reading her favorite serialized novel, she will not be interested in other works in the journal... That's a waste.
Unwrapped the outer plastic cover of the book in this issue of "Instant Fanghua", Ni Na immediately felt different.
There's something clearly sandwiched in the middle, and the journal text is on the thick side.
And the cover of this issue of "Instant Fanghua"....
There are obviously two more characters I don't know about in comic book illustration characters.
When you open the first page of the book, there are two posters sandwiched between them.
Ni Na spread out the folded poster......
First of all.......
It is an illustration of a boy and a girl holding hands and looking up at the starry sky under the starry sky, and at the top of the illustration, the four big characters of "Yesterday's Starlight" are printed.
And when I opened the second poster, it was a scene of autumn leaves falling in the sky, a teenager and a girl standing opposite each other, staring at each other....
Both posters are actually quite well drawn, but the biggest effect of this thing is basically to give the reader a general impression of the appearance of the protagonists of the novel.
"A journey of youth?"
"Are there two new serialized novels in this issue of "Instant Fanghua"?" Ni Na sat on the sofa at home and turned the pages of the book curiously.
The old rules, let's start with the new serialized novels.
The first thing she looked at was the author's pen name: "Ningyun", written "Yesterday's Starlight".
Soon, Ni Na entered the state of reading.
Judging from that poster, Ni Na thought that "Yesterday's Starlight" would be the kind of simple youth campus romance novel.
But in fact, I read less than 2,000 words...... The plot is completely different from what he thought.
The beginning of the story starts with the strange legend that has been circulating in the school for many years, and the black cat that the heroine Shen Ying treats in the school....
Male protagonist, is that the black cat?
A fantasy-themed campus romance novel?
That's a rarity.
Ni Na watched and gradually fell into a trance.
Because he inadvertently triggered the curse of the school's weird legend, the black cat fell into a dream, took the heroine to shuttle in the school's dream, and took her to find a way to save her fate.....
The first half of the first chapter of this novel is mostly used to explain the setting and world view, which seems to be a bit dragged, but in the second half, when the plot of the male and female protagonists enters the main line....
The kind of tense and exciting fantasy love text easily substitutes Ni Na into the world of the novel.
The plot is less than 20,000 words, and she watched it for almost ten minutes.....
By the time she finished reading the last page of the first chapter of "Yesterday's Starlight" serialized in this issue, Ni Na couldn't extricate herself from herself, and she had a desire to continue reading.
"It's a pity it's too short..... The plot progresses to a critical moment, which of the three Shen Ying in the dream is real, and how did the black cat boy identify Shen Ying.... Broken here... It's so uncomfortable! ”
Ni Na's expression was depressed.
She thought it was just an ordinary new novel serialized on "Instant Fanghua", but she didn't expect the plot to be so fascinating after reading it.
There are so many novels serialized in a periodical, in fact, most of the novels in it will feel average after reading them, because everyone has different tastes and hobbies, and most of the serialized novels in a journal may not be to your liking.
Ni Na doesn't know how others feel after reading this chapter of the novel, but at least this "Yesterday's Starlight" is very appetizing to her.
"I'm going to chase a novel again.... Chase, chase, chase... I hope this novel won't collapse later. Ni Na stretched.
Without wasting much time, Ni Na followed the table of contents and turned the pages to the serialized page of the novel "The Journey of Youth".
The journey of youth
Gen Qing
[I've had... An indelible time. It was the summer of junior high school, after school.... There was a shower....】
The first paragraph of text depicts the inner monologue of the heroine Futaba when she was a girl in junior high school.
When I took shelter from the rain after the rain, I met a teenager in the same class who was also sheltering from the rain under the eaves.
The two of them, who were shy of each other, took the young man's towel to wipe their hair, Futaba. Peek through the rain curtain at the futaba of the boy's cheek. Futaba with a resounding heart. Because of shyness, I was afraid that my heart of liking the male protagonist would be seen by my classmates, and blurted out "I hate all boys!" Then, this passage was heard by the male protagonist who liked it...
It's a very simple opening plot, but... It only took a few hundred words for Ni Na to read it.
Substituted into the perspective of the heroine Futaba....
Tsundere ruined her life, blurted out hurtful words, the male protagonist who transferred to school the next day, the female protagonist Futaba who wanted to apologize, but had no chance to apologize....
only used a short text to create a plot that hooked Ni Na's desire to read.
