Time passed, and a few days flew by in a flash.

By mid-February, the first volume of Sword Art Online's single book was officially released. Sale.

Early in the morning, the fans of the Dragon Kingdom got up early in the morning.

The small county town is fine, but in the major first-tier cities, the scene is magnificent.

There are almost all queues at the entrance of major bookstores, and there are many cosplay enthusiasts in these queues.

Black Swordsman Kirito, Flash Asuna, Liz, Argo, Sirika

Although these character peripherals that have been sold on the market are expensive, often tens of thousands of sets, there are still rich brothers and rich women who buy them without blinking, and they can obviously ask other people to help them buy the first volume of Sword Art Online's single book, but they have to cosplay in person, and line up with everyone to let Sword Art Online fans see their cosplay costumes.

That's their hobby and their love for this work.

"I heard that there are two bonuses included in the first volume of this work.,About luck.。

"It's a pity, the old thief of Yuanqing has no heart, let this character die so early I will be honest, this best and most touching character is except for Asuna, I think it's lucky."

"A socially phobic girl,Locked up in a horror game like SAO.,Carefully planning her life in order to survive.,But in the end, she fell on a team trip with Kirito.。 What upset me the most was the last look at her before she died, watching Kirito die with a smile. ”

"Teacher Yuanqing understands fans, so the content of luck was added in the first volume."

"You said that the second volume, when the third volume is released, will it add a little bit of the plot of Grandpa Kiritto and Asuna teaming up to attack the boss level in the early stage! This one is good-looking, but the level raiders are too vague. That blue-eyed demon is fine, but most of the levels are mentioned without mentioning the boss of the level."

"What I would like to see more is that Mr. Genqing adds a little more honeymoon cohabitation plot of Asuna and Kirito in the follow-up book. It's a vulgar thing, but I'm a layman! I love to watch. ”

"I'm the same."

"We are all laymen."

"Hey, hey, hey"

During the queue, although these Sword Art Online fans didn't know each other, they also started talking familiarly.

As for those other book clubs, such as Starry Sky and Qingze's journal fans, although they haven't seen the Sword Art Online serial, but this one is so popular, after the single book is released, many people come to make up the ticket and get on the bus, just in the process of queuing, I also experienced the atmosphere of Sword Art Online's current dragon circle.

A real fire, with high fan stickiness.

In the bookstore, from the entrance of the store to the innermost part, there are posters of Kiritto and Asuna plastered.

There are also a variety of small gifts at the cashier, such as the Asuna pendant, and the key ring is given to consumers as a single purchase gift.

TV stations, under the arrangement of Liuli Book Society, today are also the news of multiple programs on multiple TV stations, and talk shows promote the release of Sword Art Online's single book.

In some cities, even buses and subway platforms are full of promotional posters of Sword Art Online.

As for the industry, in the 10 days from the release of the first volume of Sword Art Online's single book in mid-February to the end of February, none of the single books of the popular work have also been released.

Everyone tacitly gave this period of time to Sword Art Online by default to avoid crashing and affecting sales and the promotional effect of the single book.

After all, Xia Yan's appeal in the ACG industry is obvious to all.

Now, everyone in the world is paying attention to the first week of the first volume of Sword Art Online. What sales figures can be achieved?

For several days in a row, the sales of single books in the major books of the Dragon Kingdom Sword and Sword Art Online were very fast, and almost every day the bookstore had to contact the dealer to replenish the stock.

And readers are also very good for the two fortunate feature plots added in the single book.

In this case, many fans are also relieved.

A week later.

The sales data for the first volume of Sword Art Online's single book is released.

Five million and thirty thousand copies

This is the result of the statistics after the Liuli Book Club and the dealers docked at the fastest speed.

When this afternoon, after the Liuli Book Society disclosed this data, there was an uproar in the Dragon Kingdom.

In fact, more than 5 million copies were sold in the first week, which is not too exaggerated.

Exaggeratedly, this was the first week of sales after the release of the first single volume of this work.

A work that is serialized over time, it will definitely become more and more popular, the kind of real phenomenal popularity, the sales of a single book in the first week after its release exceeded five million, or even six million copies.

However, this kind of data generally does not appear when the first volume of a work is released.

Just like the One Piece manga monograph in the parallel world, in an island country with a population of 100 million, the few single books with good sales can sell 17.8 million copies in the first week after they are released, but the number of manga volumes that do not sell well is also more than hundreds of thousands of copies in the first week.

It's outrageous that a first volume like Sword Art Online has this kind of data.

Wait until this one is written a little longer, the popularity is a little higher, and then the single book will be released again, wouldn't that be against the sky?

Anyway, just in terms of the first week of sales of the first volume of the work, Sword Art Online has been the record holder of the Dragon Kingdom in the past seven years.

In the afternoon of the same day, the major two-dimensional websites and media of Longguo made special reports on this matter.

[Sword Art Online, after the end of the golden age of the second metaverse, the second work can sell more than five million copies in the first week of the first volume of the single book. 】

[A game that tells the story of a new revolution in the light world of the Dragon Kingdom, and the first volume of Sword Art Online's single book sold more than 5 million copies in the first week, what kind of far-reaching impact will this have on the industry? 】

[Thanks to the popularity expansion of Sword Art Online, the game theme of the light industry in the Dragon Kingdom has sprung up. 】

[The first volume of the single book sold more than 5 million copies in the first week, and Sword Art Online broke a seven-year record.] 】

[The first volume D of the third volume of the comic book sold more than five million copies in the first week, and the first volume of Sword Art Online sold more than five million copies in the first week. A real genius who makes the practitioners of the two-dimensional industry in the Dragon Kingdom feel hopeless. 】

The next day, under the praise of the media of the whole Dragon Kingdom, Liuli Books specially held a celebration banquet for the sales data of the first volume of Sword Art Online.

On this day, many employees of the broker department, editorial department, and operation department of the book club were invited to the scene.

As for Xia Yan, it can be regarded as the first time that he has cooperated with Liuli Book Society for almost two years, and he has met so many people in this company.

Dressed in a black suit, with a slender and straight figure, Xia Yan is the absolute protagonist of the banquet as soon as he plays the banquet.

A lot of people came up directly.

"Teacher Yuanqing, I toast you."

"Teacher Yuanqing, come and have a drink."

"Teacher Yuanqing, how do you create, and do you have any tips that you can tell others? My son likes it too, and I want to train him in this direction too."

"Congratulations to Mr. Genqing, Sword Art Online's sales are amazing. It is very likely that the sales volume of a single line will exceed 20 million per volume. ”

At the meeting, although Xia Yan didn't like to drink, he still couldn't avoid it completely, and when the banquet was over, he was also groggy and driven to Xia Yan's residence by an employee of the company.

It was already one o'clock in the morning.

Xia Yan dragged his tired body back home, and at this time, the three friends of the opposite sex in the family had already fallen asleep.

Xia Yan also wanted to go directly to rest, but with sharp eyes, he saw a bowl of soup on the table.

When I got closer, there was a note that Tang Yin had posted on the table next to it.

[Knowing that you went to the celebration banquet of the Liuli Book Society, it is estimated that you will not drink less when you come back, this is a sobering soup, if you see it, drink it, ensure that you don't vomit tonight, and sleep until dawn! ] 】

Xia Yan was silent for a moment, and then smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Lift the soup and drink it straight away.

The taste in my mouth is really unpleasant, but I am a little moved in my heart.

After all, since his father's death a few years ago, Xia Yan has rarely felt this, after all, no one would be so sudden and kind to him.

The middle of February flies by in a flash, and it comes to the second half of the year.

The plot of Sword Art Online is also serialized when the true identity of Yui, the child picked up by Kirito and Asuna, is revealed.

"Yui is a human intelligence program of the SAO game system", because of the human emotion, and embodied in the image of a little girl, lost her memory and wandered in the game, and was picked up by the two protagonists.

But because she was finally detected by the system as anomalous data, it was about to be eliminated

Kirito, as the protagonist, can only strip out her body and program data before her daughter Yui is completely removed by the system as a foreign object, and materialize it into game items in the game

Let her sleep in it.

This plot

Let the fans of Sword Art Online, who have been relaxed and happy for more than a month, be a little abused.

After all, when the plot part of Yui was serialized a few weeks ago, many readers took part in it and really felt that they had such a cute daughter.

However.

Just like luck, when he molded her to the most endearing, he ruthlessly gave her a not-so-good fate.

After this chapter was serialized, fans naturally made a fuss for several days, asking Xia Yan to resurrect Yui immediately in the next plot.

But the fans have sprayed, but the support for Sword Art Online has not fallen at all, and the number of reader votes for this chapter has also approached the 3.8 million mark

By this time, the number of reader votes of the work Crimson Abyss, which had once competed with Sword Art Online for the first place in the periodical, had dropped to the level of more than one million and tens of thousands.

Its iron powder is in the process of mutiny.

Of course, this rebellion refers not to fans not watching this one, but to the best in their minds in the glass journal, from the crimson abyss to the Sword Art Online.

So the votes were all absorbed by Sword Art Online.

As for the sales of each issue of the Liuli periodical, it also rose by 500,000 copies in this month, to 14.5 million copies.

When the popularity of Sword Art Online rose and the single book was a big seller, the sales of Liuli periodicals also rose simultaneously, and everyone in the world of this data also knew what it represented.

All the promotional resources invested by Liuli Books in the early stage of Sword Art Online have now paid off.

This is no longer relying on the "glass periodical" to expand its influence, but using the popularity of its own works to feed back and move forward with the glass periodical.

The end of February, March. Come.

It's another day of scum, but after looking at the backstage, in the twenty-five days of this month, the total number of updates is more than 150,000 or three or four thousand words, and the average number of words updated in a day is still more than 6,000 words. That is, sometimes there are more than 5,000 updates, sometimes 7,000 or 8,000 updates, and the average update volume is still up to standard. I'm not lazy.

(End of chapter)
