The Era of the Second Element of the Literary Girl

At the end of July, Li Xiaoci officially joined the Florist's Writers' Association. novel .

There is no special grand ceremony for joining the Writers Association. Anyway, it will be announced on the Weibo of the Writers Association. Li Xiaoci only needs to sign his name.

Although the various benefits and benefits after joining the Writers Association, such as publicity, contacts, and resources, are not important to Li Xiaoci, there is one key point, that is, if she is recognized by the literary world and joins the Writers Association, In disguise, it means that the literary world recognizes the status of light novels, and many light novelists are no longer inferior "writers" but real writers. Even reaching the pinnacle of this field, it is not enough to be called a writer Excessive, just like Jin Yong Gulong in the martial arts novel writer.

Therefore, Li Xiaoci may not join the Writers Association, but it is still necessary for the sake of the entire light novel industry.

Do you suddenly feel that you are so great?

then……

In the next few days, it was officially announced that Mo Shao joined the Writers Association.

The three-dimensional public who didn't know about Li Xiaoci also talked about it after they were full.

Some were shocked at how Li Xiaoci looked so young, some felt that my Huahua family has produced a large number of talents, some doubted the ghostwriting, and some questioned whether Mo Shao was the illegitimate daughter of Yin Zuwen (Li Hailong: Huh?).

As for the fellow authors in the light novel industry, they all sincerely sent their blessings on Weibo.

"Young Master Mo is awesome!"

"Congratulations, Young Master Mo, you are indeed my idol!"

"Mom, this photo is too cute, I really want to violate Young Master Mo."

"Heh heh, the team that violated Young Master Mo has already lined up for three streets, little brother, go to the back and line up by yourself."

"Have you actually joined the Writers Association? Teacher Mo Shao is indeed the best in the world!"

"My wife is awesome!"

It's fine if it's an ordinary fan shouting that, after all, Li Xiaoci has become a public wife in the house circle, but she also can't imagine that this group of colleagues who write light novels are also shouting like wives and wives. Sure enough, light novelists are all A bunch of unscrupulous gentlemen!

But that's right, those pornographic light novels, how could people with integrity write them,

Like Li Xiaoci himself, when he wrote the "Magic Sword Academy" series, he threw morals and so on into Xinnippori.

then……

With the conclusion of "From the New World" and the conclusion of trivial matters such as joining the Flower Planters and Writers Association, Li Xiaoci also returned to the most leisurely daily life of the previous two years.

In the morning, I leisurely sat by the window in the coffee shop, played with the ship girl, got the ssr and posted it on Weibo, and then watched all kinds of non-chiefs on Weibo posting "European eating spears" . Although, Azur Lane is his own game, but Li Xiaoci still can't help being addicted to it. After all, in the previous life, he was so angry that he retreated because of his black face and poverty. Now, this has become his own game. What are you afraid of?

Even if you put krypton gold in it to make money, it's for yourself, and you come and go, no money at all!

Alas, it is simply not too comfortable.

However!

Just when Li Xiaoci was leisurely here...

There is also a relatively big thing happening in the Internet literature circle, that is, there has been a coin gift reform here. After the reform, there is no so-called "free coin", and all the starting coins presented by the system are all the same as the normal recharge There is no difference in the starting currency.

This matter is no different for readers, and it is still commonly used anyway, but for the author, it is definitely something to rejoice. Because in this way, even if you subscribe with free coins, the author can still get the subscription money, which is equivalent to the reader reading a book and the platform paying the bill.

And Li Xiaoci's idea of ​​making this decision is also very pure, just to make his own authors live a little more comfortably.

If donating coins is not considered money, it is equivalent to defrauding the author. Now that donating coins is considered money, the reading experience of readers remains unchanged, and authors can get subscriptions. Why not do it? As for the platform, eat some In fact, it doesn't matter, even if she wants to suck blood, she will suck the blood of those mobile game players and steam players. It is impossible to attack her own people. She has a very good conscience, okay?

but!

What Li Xiaoci didn't expect was...

This coin gift reform soon caused a series of chain reactions.

Web forum.

"Fuck, the coin gift reform of the starting point has been reformed? Now the coin gift is also considered a subscription?"

"Wow, is it true or not? If the free coins over at Qidian count as a subscription, I'll go to Qidian to open a new book right now!"

"It's true. I went to ask some of my friends at the starting point. After the reform, the free coins there are real coins. The subscriptions of all books are skyrocketing. It's scary!"

"Damn chicken, there are a lot of scams here on Snow Flower, and the free coins you get for one sign-in are enough to read two chapters of me. My readers only need to sign in every day. What's the difference between this and reading books for free? What the hell am I doing now? I can hardly even eat instant noodles!"

"Let's go, I'm going to the starting point."

"I didn't expect the starting point to be so conscientious!"

In fact, the coin gift was originally thought up by the operation planner of the starting point, but because of the excellent effect, it was immediately copied by the planners of other web platforms, so that now the online literature circle except the starting point Other websites basically have the stuff of gifting coins.

Of course, the same as the original starting point, donated coins must not be counted as subscriptions, otherwise, wouldn’t the website pay for the readers? After all, those investors who come to invest in online literature websites are here to make money, not to do charity. If they don’t cheat the author, are they still cheating themselves?

As a result, after Qidian completed the coin donation reform, writers flocked to Qidian to open new books one after another. As a result, other websites suddenly found that they had no fresh blood to inject!

There are fewer and fewer new books, and fewer and fewer authors are willing to write books. What is the difference between this and slow suicide?

Therefore, there are only two options left for these websites. One is to cancel the coin gift mechanism and give up all the benefits brought by the coin gift.

Of course, whether it is the former or the latter, it will definitely suffer in the end.

"Well, starting point is too insidious, isn't it?"

"Vicious competition, this is definitely vicious competition!"

"Yeah, it's too inhumane to start like this."

Soon, such scolding voices also came out from inside Xingchenyue, Xuehua, Tianxia Bookstore...etc.

In their view, starting point is undoubtedly a vicious competition, like everyone in the vegetable market has unified the price of something, but the starting point actively lowers the price to attract customers, forcing others to follow suit. Thus falling into a vicious circle of constant price cuts, isn't this vicious competition?

Actually...

This is certainly not a vicious competition, let alone a vicious circle.

Because the coin gift reform at the starting point is only from gift coins to real coins, there will be no next cycle.

The reason why the bosses of these sites are so angry is simply because they don't want to give money.

The reason is simple: Since you can cheat the author's money, why sacrifice your own interests?

As for the conscience of capitalists? nonexistent.

As for the crisis of these online literature platforms, Li Xiaoci is still ignorant.

Of course, even if he knew, Li Xiaoci probably wouldn't feel any guilt.

Maybe even laugh out loud.

then……

That night, in a secret QQ discussion group, the bosses and editor-in-chiefs of 18 first-tier and second-tier online literature platforms, including Xingchenyue, Xuehua, Tianxia Bookstore, Milkshake Reading, etc., all gathered together.

These websites are all web-based platforms that have been affected by the Qidian reform. Since the Qidian reform, the daily new additions in the library of these platforms have begun to decrease significantly, and even one of the platforms’ new additions has decreased by as much as 100. 20%, that is to say, one fifth of the authors who would have come to their website to open a book have all gone to the starting point. This is already a very scary number, and as time goes by, if they don’t If there is no change, this number will continue to grow.

So how to make a change?

Is it to cancel the free coins, or follow the example of the starting point and pay out of your own pocket?

Of course not, if it were, this group of people would not be attending this meeting on the qq discussion group tonight.

"I won't beat around the bush. Everyone knows the current situation. Qidian uses the reform of free coins to seize the market, which obviously breaks the tacit rules between us." Compromise at the starting point, or join forces to fight against the starting point, what do you think?"

"nonsense!"

"Of course it is a joint confrontation."

"Fuck him, compromise!"

"However, the key is how to do it?" Someone asked.

Afterwards, Chen Jinlin said: "For readers, the most important thing for an online literature platform is of course the content. Existence is the basis for the existence of a platform. If the platform does not exist, there will naturally be no readers and no traffic. In this way , even if the currency donation reform is implemented, how many online writers are willing to write books on such a platform that no one cares about?"

"Boss Chen means..."

"Digging the wall, digging the wall crazily! Dig out all the top ten authors on each channel of Qidian! No, even the top 15 authors can dig! Let's make Qidian a writer without a master A third-rate online literature platform!" While typing in the discussion group, Boss Chen gradually showed a sinister smile unique to capitalists, "Don't forget, we have 18 websites here, and we are several times the starting point. As long as you spend your money, as long as you give enough money, you won’t be afraid of not being able to recruit people! Without the support of those core writers, who is willing to go to the starting point to read books? No one is willing to read books, and what fool would go there to write books? Don’t forget, the most important thing about a website is the content!”

After seeing Boss Chen's proposal, the others were immediately moved.

First of all, the effect of digging out a great author is definitely much simpler and more direct than slowly cultivating a great writer. The major platforms often dig around in private, but it is a bit unbelievable to want to dig out a great writer from a website, especially if the other party It’s still the starting point of the No. 1 brother of online literature. There are a large number of great writers who support website traffic. How can you have so much money to dig these great masters? Digging up one or two is already costing money, okay?

However, there are 18 online literature platforms present, and the last one is the second-tier platform. Even the first-tier platforms such as Xuehua and Xingchenyue are already very close to the starting point in terms of strength. It seems that it is not impossible for all the core masters and backbone writers of all the channels of the empty starting point.

"Doing this...not good, isn't it too immoral..." Luo Sheng, the editor-in-chief of Xingchenyue, hesitated.

"Editor Luo, there's nothing immoral about it. It's the starting point that broke the rules first. We can't blame us for that." Chen Jinlin replied with a sneer.

"……All right."

So, soon, the top executives of the 18 online text platforms in the discussion group reached a consensus and established the anti-starting point alliance.

A big battle is about to break out.
