002 Laurel Grand Prize
Lin Fei rarely showed a satisfied smile, "It is actually the first volume of the Suzumiya Haruhi series!"
This is a famous masterpiece in the history of Japanese light novels in the past life!
Other novels published at the same time are all eclipsed because of it.
Some authors were once addicted to the stories in the book and could not extricate themselves, which led to their works being eunuchs.
Because after reading the Suzumiya series, they felt that they were writing all Snow...
It is the pioneering work of the "society flow" of light novels, and also contains SF (mechanical science fiction) elements. Before the Suzumiya series appeared, the mainstream market of Japanese light novels was a territory with themes such as magicians, vampires, etc.
The adaptation craze of light novels and the rise of group dances are also inseparable from it.
Anyway, it's very good, it's amazing, it's invincible!!!

After Lin Fei confirmed, the first volume of the Suzumiya series has appeared in the computer folder.
Lin Fei quickly browsed it and confirmed that this was the masterpiece in his previous life.
[Unlock the mission "Little Famous"!]
[Task requirements: Choose the right platform to publish novels, debut as a novelist, and gain 10,000 reputation.]
Lin Fei was not surprised by the emergence of the mission.
"The amount of reputation gained should be linked to the achievements of Suzumiya."
In addition to the content itself, the platform for publishing is also very important for the achievements of a work.
After searching online, Lin Fei chose "Matcha Library" and sent the manuscript.
He chose the Matcha library as his first choice. In addition to being the top three library in the industry and being strong, he is also because it is one of the organizers of this "Laurel Award".
The Laurel Awards is the first essay contest in autumn. It usually selects seven or eight libraries to jointly organize, and each major library launches its own optimistic works and puts them on the market. Gold rewards, silver rewards and bronze rewards are selected according to sales and reputation.
There is another rule for the Laurel Award. If the gold reward exceeds the sum of the silver reward and bronze reward, it will automatically be upgraded to "jade reward". The resources that would have been rewarded with silver reward and bronze reward will also be subscribed to the jade reward at the same time.
Winners take all!
Unfortunately, since the birth of the Laurel Award, nine sessions have passed, and no jade award has emerged.
Jade Awards are just a legend.
"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" was a ruthless award in his previous life, so it is naturally no problem to receive a laurel award.
Readers of this world are dominated by adventure stories of magicians and knights, and there is not even the concept of "campus stream".
As long as the readers' appreciation ability is normal, the first volume of the Suzumiya series is not a problem.
With a large platform and essay contest, the show of "Suzumiya" has been set up, and Lin Fei is waiting to kill him.
...
Kikuji Nobuo is one of the editors of the Matcha Library. He is responsible for screening out potential works from a large number of submissions and cultivating newcomers.
At this time, he would have gotten off work long ago.
But recently, it is the last few days of the deadline for the "Laurel Awards" essay contest. The closer the ending is, from a metaphysical point of view, the more likely it is to have a masterpiece.
In order to satisfy his wife's little desire to replace the new car, Kikuji Nobuji decided to work overtime.
There are several editors who work overtime with him. After all, except for a very small number of guys with backstage, everyone's performance is all due to their own achievements.
The editorial department is filled with the smell of cigarettes and coffee, which is indescribable.
As the largest library among the organizers of the Laurel Awards, the Matcha Library was unceremonious to ask for three recommended places and gave its own two places to the famous masters, almost locking in the top three two seats in advance.
——As the competition in the novel industry becomes increasingly fierce, some outdated "gods" novelists will also come to participate in the Laurel Awards with shame.
After all, the Laurel Awards became a newcomer show, which is just a tacit understanding in the novel world, and there is no explicit regulation that great gods are not allowed to participate.
If a famous writer comes to participate in the competition, although it is unfair to the newcomers, it can add a lot of popularity to the awards.
Although these great gods have lost their throne, their status in the world is still there, and they can be regarded as having their own traffic.
Of course, the last remaining quota, according to the senior management, is to be left to real newcomers.
The matcha library that is sure to win doesn’t want to eat too ugly.
"Let's start with the latest contributions!"
Kikuto Shiniji rubbed his dry eyes and went to work.
The one who dominates the novel world is still a Western fantasy adventure story, either a knight and a dragon quarrel or a mage to catch vampires.
During this Laurel Awards, several major library revealed a piece of news to the outside world, that is, they hope that more new types of novels will appear.
After all, it is inevitable that you will be boring to read the stories of magic and knights all the time and will not promote the development of the entire novel market.
But there is nothing we can do. Now mature authors are all thinking about making money, and no one cares about niche topics without the market.
For top writers, although they also have a urge to open up a new genre, no one dares to act rashly in the face of reality.
If you fail, you will lose your temper!
Besides, readers who honestly write adventure stories will also buy it. As long as everyone writes adventure stories, it will not affect the meal.
"This book "The Story of Monsters" is barely a bit novel, but the core is still the story of Dragon Quest, which can only be said to be a change of soup and no medicine."
"And the author seems to be a pure newcomer, and the writing style and rhythm are really a bit bad."
"Hey, this book is quite interesting. The protagonist has changed from a uncle who lost his wife to a princess in another world, but why does he look so obscene?"
As time flies, Kikuji Shinichi quickly reviews one manuscript after another. In addition to the fast speed of editing and reading, the quality of the manuscript is also one of the reasons.
Although there are a few good works, there is still a big gap compared with the two ancient masters participating in the competition.
"If the sales of newcomers' works are not as high as those of the two great masters, then this Laurel Award will be inconsistent with the name!"
He has also read the new works of these two great masters, and they are indeed excellent works above the standard.
The "Illusionist" by Mishima's new style master has put the setting of the illusionist against the original background of Western fantasy. With his delicate character portrayal and emotional description, the achievements of this work may even surpass his representative work "Warcraft".
Fushimi Firefly's new book "The Hunted Vampire" turns the traditional hero into a vampire, explaining the old story from another perspective. The whole article is full of irony towards the real society, which is amazing!
These two great writers are also seeking breakthroughs this time. It is understandable that they take advantage of the popularity of the Laurel Awards to reduce some risks.
But their stories were ultimately unable to escape from the shackles of tradition.
"However, this is also impossible. Innovation is a gradual process. Without the foundation of our predecessors as a reference, who can build a new world from scratch?"
Shinichi Kikuji lit a cigarette, clicked Lin Fei's email in the clouds and mist, and saw the introduction of the submission.
"Suzumiya Haruhi's melancholy? What a strange novel name."
"The author's signature is "Ye Xiao", I have never heard of it. He is a pure newcomer."
It is most likely that it is a floppy book.
There are always some newcomers who are full of passion and feel that their wonderful ideas can kill the entire market.
But they didn't even understand the readers' tastes clearly, and how could they become a god by writing them in a random way with a headless fly?
You will become sensible if you spend a few books!
Except for a few lucky people with extraordinary talents, which great writer did not evolve from the flop?
As a dedicated editor, Kikuji Nobuji decided to read a few paragraphs of text.
but……
"You'll get off work after reading this book."
Chapter completed!
