I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

I hadn't noticed it before, but over the past few days, Su Miaomiao has really become addicted. Having a hand warmer to hug while sleeping is so comforting!

With this in mind, Su Miaomiao began to think about going to school.

"Ye Feng, I heard we have to live on campus in our first year of university, what should we do?"

"I've heard about it too. Oh well, we'll just have to wait. Don't worry, we'll go to class and eat together every day then."

Hehe~

Another day passed, but the two returned early this time because Ye Feng's contract had been signed and sent back, ready for the release of his new book.

The previous book wasn't finished yet, but it'll be finished this month. The manuscript is all written, and I just need to set it up for automatic publishing.

After these days of pre-launch hype, his new book has become quite popular, and the website has also given it a lot of promotion.

He's releasing his new book tonight, a whopping 50,000 words!

It wasn't that he didn't understand the intricacies of the process; he did have editors, after all. But he still did it that way because he had plenty of drafts saved up and wasn't worried at all.

The book title has been kept secret. When the title was heavily promoted on the novel platform, it was probably to celebrate his signing of the contract.

"I don't quite understand your new book. Is it okay?"

"Remove the '幺' (yao), and let me tell you, I put a lot of effort into conceiving this book; it's absolutely amazing!"

Although he said that, Ye Feng was actually quite uneasy, and he really didn't know if it would work.

In his mind, this book was incredibly popular in the world of mobile phones, even wildly popular, but in his own world, he was really unsure.

But the book has already been published, and the editors also recommend it. Besides, I can't show weakness in front of my girlfriend!

"Yes, yes, my boyfriend is the best. Here, have a grape."

The two of them sat in front of the computer; they couldn't see the data, but they could see the comments on the client side.

Before long, comments appeared, and within Ye Feng's medical field, there were many negative and discouraging comments.

He also studied the reviews of the book in his mind, and basically, there was a lot of controversy before the 100,000-word mark.

However, there was both controversy and anticipation, and he himself quite liked the book, which is why he decided to "write" it.

Many readers have complained that the worldview is too unfamiliar, the names and place names are too difficult to pronounce, and the religious system is lacking. It looks like a guide to life in medieval Europe, which is really hard to relate to.

The beginning was indeed a bit... calm, yes, calm. Buying bread, calculating weekly wages, it was really like a concentrated flavor, not satisfying at all.

Looking at these comments, although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little frustrated, after all, the success of his previous book had indeed made him feel the joy of "success".

Although there are mostly negative aspects, there are also positive ones. The setting is solid, the suspense is high, and the potential is huge.

This is actually an inevitable result, because most of the readers who click in at this time are readers of the previous book who like to read urban novels. They will find this kind of novel too boring, confusing, and too long-winded.

But there's no way around it, we have to take it slowly.

"It's alright. That guy on the train only read a little bit but kept bothering you, so it must be a good book!"

"I'm fine. I knew what was going to happen when I was writing it. It was something I was destined to go through eventually. Don't worry, I was mentally prepared."

"Mmm, my boyfriend is the best!"

She then cupped Ye Feng's face and kissed him, before closing the notebook in front of him to prevent him from looking at it.

Actually, the editors wanted Ye Feng to set up a studio and hire some people to maintain the novel's comments and promotion, but Ye Feng didn't understand any of that, so he simply left it at that for now. He really didn't have time to do these things, so he let the platform help him out.

Su Miaomiao was really going all out to prevent him from reading the comments and letting it affect his mood. She wouldn't even let him get out of bed. He was so stubborn, even with his eyes swollen, he still wouldn't give in!

"I'm really fine. I'll type a little more and update a bit more. It gets more and more engaging as it goes on."

"Really? You don't read the comments?"

"Just one glance is enough. Why look at so much? It's just that I wanted to get a sense of what the readers thought at the beginning of the new book, that's all. It's not like no one has ever criticized me before, do you think I care?"

Are you kidding me? He plagiarized the entire novel, why would he care if others criticize him a few times?

His biggest worry is whether or not he can make money!

"Okay, I'm exhausted. You're not allowed to touch me for three days~"

"That won't work, one day at most!"

"Two days, and they still disagree with me... I..."

For a moment, Su Miaomiao didn't know how to threaten him. Should she kick her boyfriend to sleep on the sofa? What would she hug at night then?

"It's a deal!"

Ye Feng himself actually wanted to rest for a while. Although he was young, he couldn't rest so early. His legs were already a little weak.

Ye Feng also wanted to get through the new book period as soon as possible and release more books, because the later the release, the more attractive it would become.

"Hey handsome, don't rush things. It's the new book release period. You've posted so many, it'll be available for purchase soon. Don't you want the previous recommendations?"

"Yes, please get it up here quickly."

"Don't worry about that. We all think highly of your book, but we can't update it too fast. Otherwise, it'll be released before we've even used up all the recommendation periods, which would be a huge loss!"

"Well, I was a little worried. I saw some comments saying it was dragging on, so I was just thinking of getting it done faster."

"Don't let the comments overly influence you! Follow your own ideas. Minor changes are okay, but don't change the overall direction. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time writing later. You can't please everyone; you need to guide the readers towards your vision!"

The editors thought he was trying to speed things up, so they quickly stopped him. Although the word count wasn't high yet, everyone in their team thought it was great and that writing it this way was perfect!

They really overestimated Ye Feng. How could he possibly have that ability? He didn't even change a single word. What a joke! Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

"It's not about the plot; I just want to update more. I've already written the earlier parts. Actually, I initially planned to release 100,000 words directly."

"Don't go that! Let's take it slow. I'll keep an eye on things for you. Besides, the data is pretty good. Don't look at the bad comments either. You know, summer vacation is peak season for new book releases!"

"I know, I checked online before. My last book was published during the summer vacation. What's wrong?"

"...If you post, others will post too. This pool is only so big. If you take more, others will take less. Won't they complain about you?"

"No... what's the big deal about doing it or not? Isn't the content king of novels? If his is good, then he's great; if my content is engaging, then I have more readers."

"...You're so naive. Alright, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it for you. Just keep updating at a pace of 5,000 words a day for now. Save up your drafts and then do a big update spree once it's published. By the way, how did your college entrance exam go?"

"...Brother, I've already filled out my college applications, and you're only now thinking of asking me!"

"It's really not my fault. If you hadn't said you never thought of me as a high school student, I would have automatically forgotten that you were one of them many times."
