Of course, there was no one like Chu Xuanang who would hide in the bookstore and keep an eye on others.
After Supernova's published works were distributed to a large number of bookstores on the blue planet, the only thing that could reflect some market results was the readers 'feedback.
In the beginning, it was just a little bit.
After all, reading books required time.
For a publishing firm, a few sporadic reviews were not of much value.
However, as the first batch of readers finished reading the novel, the feedback from the five works of Supernova gradually increased on the official message board of the Wonderful Brush and Flowers.
What worried the publishing firm was…
The company had high hopes for Supernova's first place," Piercing the Sky," but it didn't seem to have a good reputation.
Most of the readers gave the novel a score of less than five out of ten. It seemed that everyone was not interested in the style of the novel.
"It's a routine of changing the soup without changing the medicine."
"I regret buying this book after reading it."
"Hurry up and cut him in half. I'm not interested.”
The novels that had a brilliant pen and flowery flowers were published in volumes, so the sales of the first volume were crucial. Those novels that did not sell well were easily cut in half.
The editor of the publishing house would inform the author to finish it quickly. If the original plan of more than ten volumes was cut in half, the author would probably compress it to three to five volumes and finish it hastily.
After all, the publishing company had to spare some resources to give some works with more potential.
Many readers were cursing.
Of course, not all of them were bad reviews. Some readers felt that the perspective of " Piercing the Sky " was very novel.
"Although it's old wine in a new bottle, at least the author still has something of his own.”
Maybe it would explode later?
This was not unprecedented.
There was a very popular novel in the market right now. When it was first published, its reputation was very average, and the sales were not enough. At that time, the publishing house informed the author that they had cut it in half.
Who knew that after two volumes, the story of the book would reach a climax and sales would explode.
As a result, the plan to cut off the waist was canceled. The book was still being serialized, and it had already been published to the twenty-second volume.
However, there were very few such examples.
If the first chapter of the novel couldn't attract the readers, it would be difficult for the readers to hold on until then.
Only by attracting readers at the beginning could the novel continue to be serialised steadily.
Not only was the reputation of the first place not good.
Supernova's works from second to fourth place were also very average. Only the second place had a score of five points.
However, five points could only be considered a passing grade in the novel market. It was not good at all.
"This year will be difficult."
At the department meeting a week later.
An editor looked at the comments on the novels and sighed.""I thought that the sales of 'Piercing the Heavens' could replicate the success of that book.
However, as the readers read more and more fantasy novels from another world, everyone's requirements became higher and higher.”
"You're right."
"It's not that this year's supernovas are not as good as the past, but that the readers 'taste in reading is getting higher and higher.
It was no wonder that the editor-in-chief and the others had always wanted to support new topics. The readers were already tired of reading old topics, and the novel had to provide new excitement.”
“……”
In the early years of television dramas, there were always car accidents, cancer, abortion, and other brainless plots. The audience still watched with relish.
However, if such a plot appeared again, the audience would point at the director and scold him.
It was the same in the field of novels.
A few years ago, fantasy novels from another world could be popular with just a few gimmicks. They were just stories that showed off along the way.
The story might look terrible now, but the readers still liked the novel very much.
"They weren't completely annihilated."
Hu Ming tried to comfort everyone.
"Even though Sherlock Holmes is the last novel in the Supernova rankings, its reputation is still very good. Its rating is now 9.8, which is very impressive.”
Hu Ming was right.
Although the first four books of Supernova did not have satisfactory reviews, Sherlock Holmes had received very high ratings.
The readers in the comments section were mostly appreciative.
"This is the best!"
"I picked it up at the bookstore and casually looked at it. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to put it down the moment I picked it up. I immediately announced that I was going to cheat on Sherlock Holmes.”
" A clear stream of Supernova!"
"I'm tired of watching fantasy from another world. It's surprisingly good to change the taste occasionally. I've already recommended Sherlock Holmes to many friends.
However, many of them were not interested. They were like me in the past and did not understand the charm of mystery novels at all.”
“……”
The editors naturally knew that Sherlock Holmes had a very high rating. It could be said that it had received rave reviews.
However, for Wonderful Pen, the reputation of this novel could only be considered a consolation prize. Because the theme of this novel was too unpopular, it was almost impossible for the sales to be explosive.
"It's useless."
"The theme is too cold."
"Is it good or not?"
The editors did not seem too excited. Every publishing house would have some novels that were good but not popular.
