The Shocking Eunuch, Reborn as a Literary Girl

Chapter 20 Double the reward

As a platform for publishing novels, the comments on 'Become a Novelist' are largely to be expected and nothing to be surprised about.

It should be said.
If a novel that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, is so well-written, and comes with its own built-in buzz and traffic, doesn't generate buzz, then that would truly overturn Isshin Iruma's understanding of what a novel should be.

'A captivating and engaging novel should be popular'—that's the fundamental logic of the industry.

However, the problem now is that Chiya Umehara's popularity is no longer limited to the small circle of core light novel readers.

Her own "Vtuber turned light novel writer" gimmick played a crucial role at this time.

At first, it was a laughing stock and people laughed at it.

There were even some well-known light novel authors like Xiaoxiong Xiya personally stepping in to guide public opinion.

However, once Chiya Umehara actually produced results, all these doubts ultimately became free publicity material for her.

Now, related videos have started appearing on YouTube and TikTok.

The titles are basically like this.
"Vtuber couldn't make it, so she switched to writing novels? Despite being underestimated, she created a refreshing and innovative work? How did Arisa Keisatsu silence her doubters in just three days?"

"A Vtuber writes a novel livestream, producing 60,000 words in one night, yet the content receives rave reviews! What kind of work is 'I was transported to another world and gained the ability to know important information in advance'?"

"A Rising Star in the Light Novel Industry? Former Popular Vtuber Arisa Yuusei Announces Career Change, Shocking Readers with a 60,000-Word Update in One Night!"

That's right, they're all videos of this type.

These marketing accounts are obviously trying to ride on the coattails of Chiya Umehara's popularity.

They want to gain some traffic by leveraging what happened yesterday.

However, in the process of gaining traffic, they did indeed promote this matter.

Ultimately, it helped increase Chiya Umehara's fame.

Not just video platforms like YouTube and TikTok.

On social media platforms like X, "Arisa's Alliance" and "I Gained the Ability to Know Important Information in Advance After Transmigrating to Another World" have become trending topics.

"It's already generated a lot of buzz."

Seeing all this, Iruma Isshin completely understood why Umehara Chiya had stayed up all night to finish writing those 60,000 words.

it's actually really easy.

Even though she finished writing it over two days, not many people would blame her, since it's all perfectly reasonable.

Writing 60,000 words a day is already beyond the physiological limits of most humans.

And you should know that this was done while working ten hours a day.

But the problem is
If it were written over two days, it wouldn't generate as much buzz.

It has to be finished in one night.

I have to write until I feel dizzy and my vision blurs.

That's exactly how you create the most buzz and get everyone's attention as quickly as possible.

Chiya Umehara's novels are well-written.
This is real.

Even without any additional buzz, Isshin Iruma believed that this novel would definitely be published as a light novel and gain considerable popularity.

But if she hadn't used her Vtuber identity to promote herself, and hadn't done that livestream challenge of writing 60,000 words in one night...
Her popularity would never have reached this level.

Moreover, it's important to understand that this is just the beginning. Chiya Umehara has only just started to generate buzz.

As her novel continues to be updated and gains more readers, her popularity will continue to increase.
It will get higher and higher, and it will explode.

"Wow, that's incredible. He can write novels and generate buzz at the same time." Iruma Isshin exclaimed in amazement.

"It's easy to think that writing 60,000 words in a single day can create hype. But actually doing it is not so simple."
This requires an extraordinary and intense desire to make money.

"Although I don't entirely like her methods, I have to admire her execution and willpower."

As she spoke, her expression became unusually serious.

Although they had never met or spoken to this "Arisa," and the two did not know each other.

But at this moment, Isshin Iruma had already given her a very high evaluation in his heart.

Thinking about this, she suddenly became curious about what state her good friend "Little Bear Xia" was in now.

After all, the initial wave of popularity for "forming Arisa" was practically delivered by my friend himself.

It was "Little Bear Xia" who didn't know how to keep her mouth shut and personally guided public opinion, which led so many people to attack Umehara Chiya in the live broadcast room.

It was precisely because these cyberbullies were so unreasonable that the backlash against public opinion was so fierce when Chiya Umehara actually delivered a reasonably satisfactory answer.

After all, everyone dislikes aggressive people.

Everyone wants to see this kind of person suffer a setback, then retreat into their shell like a stray dog ​​and be humiliated.

This is human nature.

At this moment, 'Little Bear Xia' is playing the role of the turtle that everyone is kicking around in.

As Chiya Umehara's popularity skyrocketed, Shia Kogumaki also began to be humiliated online almost simultaneously.

The comment sections of some of the web novels she posted
Her personal account
Some of the posts she made on the forum before.
Right now, everything is being dug up and mocked.

"I heard you think that authors like that can't write anything good? I feel like even though someone updates 60,000 words a day, their writing is still better than yours."

"If her novels were published as a paperback, they would definitely outsell yours. You can't compare to her in any way; your writing is just garbage."

"If her writing is garbage, then your writing is even worse than garbage. All you do is stir up trouble on forums all day, but you don't put in the effort to write. That's why you've been in the industry for so long and are still not very successful."

"Miss Arisa can finish in two or three days what takes you a month to write, and it's even more interesting than what you write. I don't know how you have the audacity to stir up public opinion online every day."

"I've always thought your writing was garbage, and today I can finally say it out loud."

Although some die-hard fans of "Little Bear Xia Ya" said things like "Let's make it into a light novel first before talking about surpassing it" and "It's just a web novel, yet you're so arrogant."

But clearly this group is not the majority.

In short, fortunes change.

Just like how Chiya Umehara was ridiculed online before, now Shia Koma is being ridiculed online.

Moreover, it will be repaid double.

　P.S.: I'm also updating like crazy, just like the protagonist in the book.

　　I'm going to test the waters by writing 6 words today. I started updating at 8 o'clock and have already written 8 words. I still need 3000 more words.
