The subject matter is very important to a novel. Why do novelists always choose popular subjects to create?

Because readers like that type of topic, they will look for books in that type of topic——

Choose popular topics and you will have a greater chance of being seen by readers!

Even some well-known best-selling authors dare not easily choose some unpopular themes for creation.

Because they can't guarantee whether they will continue to support them after writing unpopular topics.

However, there are always some writers who do not follow common sense.

Chu Kuang is such a writer.

He doesn't seem to like to write about popular topics by nature.

Chu Kuang’s debut work in the field of long-form fantasy is "Net King", sports competition——

Super unpopular subject!

His second novel is "Zhu Xian", a fairy man almost nobody touched on the market——

It's not reliable than sports competition!

By the way, these two novels with rather unreliable themes have achieved excellent results and have led the market!

Yes.

When Chu Kuang's third novel was placed under the category of horror and suspense, many people in the industry were a little bit strange.

obviously.

Without the success of "Zhu Xian", the industry must be very optimistic about Chu Kuang's new book, and 100% of people will even jump out and say:

"Chu Kuang's new book will hit the street!"

Because of the horror and suspense, in the field of fantasy novels, it is also a big upset!

But Chu Kuang has already shined twice in a row under the disapproval of everyone, so Yinlan Library has begun to announce it. Almost no one dared to jump out to question the quality of Chu Kuang’s new book, even if they were more or less in their hearts. There is such an idea.

Editors in the industry are not stupid.

Anything involving Chu Kuang, if judged by conventional experience, the chance of being slapped is always particularly high, so it is better to close your mouth and watch the follow-up.

Booksellers are not stupid either.

Even if the book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" seems to be doomed on the surface, the major booksellers still gave enough face and ordered a lot of goods from the silver and blue library.

no way.

Who made "Ghost Blowing Lantern" Chu Kuang's new book?

There are the first two novels as the base, Chu Kuang's pen name, today has the effect of ignoring the classification and ignoring the subject!

but……

This is just the opinion of some people in Qin Province.

Many readers of Qi province do not agree with this point.

Such as Mai Tong.

Mai Tong is a native of Qi Province.

After the merger of Qin and Qi, as a fan of fantasy novels, Mai Tong naturally read a lot of fantasy masterpieces of Qin Province.

Because there are too many excellent works of Qin Province, and they are all wonderful, Mai Tong can't stop watching.

So Mai Tong did not have time to read Chu Kuang's novels.

However, there are many readers from Qin Province on the Internet who admire Chu Kuang, and it seems that this Chu Kuang has something.

So Mai Tong has already planned to read Chu Kuang's works

By coincidence, Mai Tong saw Yinlan Library's promotion of Chu Kuang's new book.

To understand an author, of course, you must pass his latest works.

So when Mai Tong learned that Chu Kuang was going to publish a new book, he didn't buy Chu Kuang's past works, but had some expectations for his new book.

Mai Tong wanted to see how powerful this Chu mad in Qin Province was.

result……

Before the official release of the work titled "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Mai Tong just saw the theme of the novel mentioned in the publicity, and he was already disappointed.

It turned out to be horrible suspense!

Isn't Chu Kuang a well-known writer in Qin Province? How did he write such unpopular subjects?

Is this the work of a best-selling author in Qin Province?

To be honest, Mai Tong is not interested in this subject at all.

But perhaps the netizens of Qin Province are praising Chu Kuang too harshly.

Although he was totally uninterested in Chu Kuang's new book subject matter, on the day when it was officially released on June 1, Mai Tong still bought a new book "Ghost Blowing Lantern" by Chu Kuang.

Not interested in books, but interested in people.

On the Internet, readers of Qin Province had a high evaluation of Chu Kuang, so high that Mai Tong couldn't help wondering where this man was really good.

however.

Just opening "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Mai Tong's face went black.

"First person?"

Dignified, that's the level?

Mai Tong has always believed that the first person is the most dramatic way of writing.

He tried to forcefully read first-person works, but he couldn't help but retreat after reading a few chapters.

He has never seen any novels written in the first person since then.

The market's reaction also proved that the first person is unpopular.

Ninety-nine percent of Huoshu is created in the third person, from the perspective of God.

From this point alone, Mai Tong wanted to sentence "Ghost Blowing Lantern" to death.

But this book was bought with money anyway, Mai Tong curled his lips, suppressed his inner resistance, and continued reading.

The setting and plot of this novel are also slowly unfolding in front of Mai Tong...

Faqiu, Touching Jin, Moving Mountains, and Unloading Ridges, these are the four great tomb robbers.

[People light candles, ghosts blow lights.

Entering the ancient tomb, first light a candle at the southeast corner to open the coffin. If the candle goes out, you must exit quickly. Nothing can be taken.According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead made by the ancestor, and it has been passed down for thousands of years and cannot be broken.

[The cock beeps, the light goes out, but the gold is not touched.

Looking for a dragon, look at the mountain, one entanglement is one hurdle; if there are thousands of locks at the door, there will be princes living here.

At the beginning, Mai Tong turned quickly and swallowed dates.

It's like reading a textbook. Because of lack of interest, I read it very perfunctorily.

But when the plot of the white paper man unfolded, and the rules and settings of the tomb robbery were analyzed by the author, Mai Tong gradually became attracted.

"It's interesting."

He raised his eyebrows and continued to look.

Time passed bit by bit.

When seeing the story merge into the main line and formally came to Hu Bayi's perspective, Mai Tong's eyes widened slightly, and the speed of turning the book slowed down.

"Zongzi……"

"Touch the golden talisman..."

"The strange man divides the golden hole..."

"Sixteen-character Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique..."

From the first mention of Jingjue Ancient City, the main line has become clear, like the main trunk of a big tree, spreading to the branches and leaves little by little.

fascinating!

With the extension of the story, Mai Tong became completely obsessed. He recalled the evaluation of Chu Kuang from the readers of Qin Province on the Internet, and for the first time developed a strong sense of identity in his heart...

Chu Kuang, that's amazing!

This novel, which seems scary, actually encompasses history, geography, humanities, and even the gossip of the Book of Changes. The writer can only write it if he has goods in his stomach.

because……

Writing this kind of book requires the imagination of thriller writers, the background of historical writers, the logic of detective writers, the grasp of human nature by psychologists, the knowledge of civil engineers, the sensitivity of politicians, and the knowledge of geographers, the most important thing. Yes, but also a steady stream of great inspiration!

Under the prestigious reputation, there is no vanity.

These Chu Kuang have done it!

The most amazing thing is...

The tomb robbery scene described by Chu Kuang!

The underground world he wrote was too whimsical and weird, and the thrilling atmosphere contained strong mental stimulation, which aroused countless imaginations of Mai Tong!

The character image is also very clear.

Usually nonsense, the key is Hu Bayi, who sets the world.

Shirley Yang, with vigorous skill and insight, is universal and upright.

Fatty Wang Kaixuan, who is greedy for money but has a deep sense of loyalty and excellent marksmanship.

Factions, stunts, black words, a sense of age, everything is completely absurd, but extraordinarily reasonable, and even materialistic analysis and explanations are interspersed with it, making people not think that the author is making up...

This world is almost real!

Thrilling, horrible suspense, mysterious and strange, and with a sense of deciphering reasoning.

This is completely different from the horrible suspense in Mai Tong's imagination!

It is even a mistake to classify this novel as "horror suspense".

This is clearly a new genre.

This is something that has never been seen in the market...tomb robbery novel!

"I'm a fan!"

Mai Tong's mood has become extremely exciting!

Before, he disliked the first person very much, but after reading the novel along the way, he suddenly felt that there is nothing wrong with the first person!

Tomb Raiders novel is to use the first person to enhance the sense of substitution, as if you are also entering the story!

This kind of immersive experience is something the third person cannot give.

In other words, if the writer's pen is strong enough, he can write flowers in the first person!

at this time.

it's getting dark.

Unconsciously, Mai Tong watched all afternoon.

After he recovered, he realized that his neck was a little sore, and his eyes were astringent.

But at this time, the first volume of the novel is almost finished.

Mai Tong's reading speed is one of the best among readers.

And in almost time.

The editors of Yinlan Library are staring nervously at the Internet, waiting for the first wave of feedback from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

"Should there be no problem?"

"Although the style of the novel is not very youthful and fantasy, isn't it enough for the story to be wonderful this year..."

"I am worried that readers will not be able to accept the first person."

"Everyone can't accept the first person, but everything has a process of adapting. Don't you think that if you look at this book, you forget about the first person?"

"Yes, I am already obsessed after seeing it, so I don't care about the first person."

"..."

As the editors discussed, feedback of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" gradually appeared on the Internet.

The first wave of readers finally appeared.

The hours are officially on sale at seven o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it has been nearly twelve hours since "Ghost Blowing Lantern" was released.

Readers who read the book relatively quickly will have no problem reading the first volume of "Ghost Blowing Lantern" within twelve hours.

You don’t even need to finish it.

As long as you read a part of this book, its excitement is ready to come out, enough for all evaluations to be meaningful.

The editors who have been staring at the official website finally saw the readers' comments one after another.

First of all, the first comment was left by a reader named "Mai Tong":

"As a reader of Qi Zhou, I have always heard of Chu Kuang's famous name. I have the honor to read "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" today. After reading it in one breath, I was shocked by the heavens. After the merger of Qin and Qi, this is the best Qinzhou novel I have ever read!"

Immediately after.

It's like a flare gun.
