Chapter 105: Web Editor x Failed Author 2



By casting a wide net, the original owner actually managed to catch a few authors with good writing skills and whose book titles were so popular that they could make the top ten on the male-oriented popular list.

The website has been developing vigorously for more than three years. Due to the madness back then, Lin Wannian now has thousands of failed authors in his hands.

What a sin.

Lin Wannian was wailing in his heart but appeared calm on the surface. He opened the author backend that he managed, selected a list of authors whose total revenue from one book was over 200,000 yuan but whose second book flopped, converted it into an Excel spreadsheet and sent it to his QQ.

Turn off the computer, pick up the backpack, put it on your shoulder, and leave!

Coming out of the company, Lin Wannian looked at the hazy night, the hustle and bustle of traffic, and the flashing red lights.

My eyes couldn't bear the outside environment all of a sudden, and the scenery became a little blurry.

The wind blew over him and he pulled his coat tighter. It was already autumn and the temperature in the city was dropping sharply.

He walked to the electric vehicle charging station in the parking garage next to the company, placed an order for takeout, found his old electric car, put on his helmet, inserted the key, and the headlights came on.

On the way back on the electric scooter, Lin Wannian looked at the unfamiliar environment yet the familiar road. It was unfamiliar to him, but familiar to the original owner's memory.

After a journey of more than ten minutes, Lin Wannian arrived at the residential area where he lived. It was a very old residential area. As he drove in, he looked at the old walls. If a red character was written on it and then a circle was made, the residents of this building would be rich for a while.

"Are you back from get off work?" The gatekeeper saw Lin Wannian, with a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, smoke billowing, and asked in a hoarse voice.

Lin Wannian looked at him and nodded: "I'm back."

After parking the electric bike in a dark corner, Lin Wannian took the key and went upstairs.

Walking on the concrete stairs, the voice-controlled lights above his head flickered with the sound of his footsteps. Just as he walked up one section, the lights on the lower section went out.

Walking up to the third floor, the door to the room was a rusty blue iron door.

The key was inserted and there was a sound of pulling, and the iron door finally opened.

After taking a shower, the cool water washed away the tiredness in my body.

Lin Wannian dried himself quickly, put on a black short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts, walked into the room, fell onto the bed, and lay on his back.

After working for a whole day, he finally asked about the main business: "Da Huang, give me the plot of this plane."

The main plot of this time is that the heroine is Su Ling, a socialite. After graduating from college, she found a house to rent and sat at the desk all day, typing on the keyboard.

With her pen and powerful imagination, she wrote old-fashioned CEO novels, which attracted countless readers to scream wildly in the world of characters in her books. She also wrote old-fashioned house fighting novels, which were so cruel that people cried.

She has been working full-time for more than three years. As the times progress, she also progresses with them, using her previous writings to break the routine.

In the era when free articles were popular, she left her original website and came to the new free website Hongjin under a pseudonym. This time, the subject matter she chose was male-oriented.

Write for men and earn lots of money!

The male protagonist Wang Yu is her editor. They had an ordinary relationship between editor and author. Later, when Su Ling's book became a hit, Wang Yu became concerned about her. Then he discovered that they were actually high school and college classmates. It was a secret crush (×) and a pursuit under the pressure of manuscripts. It was a simple and immature love between adults.

The villain Sang Qingyan originally came in at the same time as Su Ling. Their first books were extremely popular in Hongjin and were even equally popular.

But by the second book, Su Ling continued to be popular, while Sang Qingyan's book was a complete flop and even readers didn't recognize it.

So some people suspected that Sang Qingyan copied Su Ling. They both became popular based on the same subject matter, and many of the memes in their works are common.

The most feared thing in the writing circle is plagiarism.

Especially for popular books, even if the author doesn’t care, the readers certainly won’t.

This behavior of the book fan made Sang Qingyan unhappy. He was already giving up on the novel, but now it became even worse. He even used a friend's ID number to open a secondary account and copied Su Ling's novel.

Finally, it was exposed by his friend (a fan of Su Ling's book), causing heated discussions in the online literature circle.

How could Sang Qingyan let it go? He paid people to give bad reviews to her books, then had people find faults with her, and finally accused the popular author of writing male-oriented novels and changing her gender to male of actually being a girl.

There were even photos exposed.

During that period, Su Ling was exposed online. She was already an i person, and after being exposed again, even with Wang Yu's company, she still chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

Her suicide attracted more heated discussions. Under Wang Yu's persistence, Sang Qingyan finally couldn't escape. Before being arrested by the police, he also committed suicide.

The original owner was the editor of Sang Qingyan's main account. After Sang Qingyan's second novel flopped, he didn't care much about it. Even when the team leader asked him to do something, he just talked to one or two authors who had been enthusiastic about him before and did it perfunctorily. After all, he still had a lot of things to do.

In addition to his regular job, he also took a deputy job as a web reviewer at a small yellow platform. Normally, such films would be approved with a blind eye, but the original owner started doing serious work, and no matter how well-written the plot was, it would be sent back for revision if it was not up to standard.

This kind of situation of looking for plots in erotic novels has been reported by more than a dozen authors: You idiot, go to a serious website to review the plot, why are you posting it?

Some of the male authors even cursed the original owner's ancestors for generations.

The original owner's salary for that month was deducted, but he was very vindictive towards one of the authors because that author cursed his ancestors. When that author posted a post, he hit back without saying a word. After hitting him more than a dozen times, the author finally turned evil and posted the information of this stupid online reviewer, that is, the original owner's information, directly to the online article forum.

This made the original author and colleagues laugh for a while. Yes, it was a joke and did not cause any consequences. The original owner was still optimistic and was not a socialite or an author, so he naturally would not be criticized online. It was just a joke after dinner.

#It's so funny. The editor of this serious website would act as a reviewer when posting articles. No wonder they ask for so many things.

The original author who was exposed was Sang Qingyan. He also opened a small account on a small website to write yellow articles. The first chapter of Passion Code was rejected by the online review before it was published. They also said that the plot was not good. If he were to write a plot, he would also publish it here.

After being rejected several times in a row, Sang Qingyan had already been annoyed by the original website. Now he was letting himself go and was also annoyed. He was so angry that he checked the information of the online review and found out that he was the editor. So what if he was an editor? If he pissed him off, he would disclose it! !

Sang Qingyan was only 18 years old at that time. The first book he wrote was written in high school. The age on his ID card was three years older than his actual age, so he could sign the contract.
