Chapter 006: How the Progress of a Struggling Author is Forged

Right from the beginning, it features the climax of other romance novels, naturally drawing readers to continue reading.

Moreover, it is under the circumstance that the male lead is aware of having a girlfriend

Jiang Miao looked at the senior's reply, pursed her lips, and fell into deep thought

I also quite dislike that female supporting character

Whether it is writing a book or being a person

However, for readers who have only read a little over twenty chapters, it is entirely a different matter

They will only resolutely abandon the book when confronted with unavoidable major issues.

I feel that it is not very significant, could you please explain the reason, senior sister?

In the author's mind, this female supporting character is certainly quite remarkable

If the discussion is purely about the plot and the characters themselves, without escalating to attacks on the speaker, he does not see any problem with it

[Porridge Boss]: There is no need to pay attention to those negative reviews, just write according to your own thoughts.

Jiang Miao scratched his head and simply went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, trying to calm his mind

This is because, when readers are looking at a new book, they have not yet developed a reading habit influenced by the characters and plot within, so the cost of abandoning the book is not significant

At least for the upcoming plot, some adjustments indeed need to be made on my part

A romance novel should have a title that allows readers to immediately understand the basic content and highlights of the book, which would qualify it as satisfactory

I originally thought I would have to wait a while, but unexpectedly, my senior replied instantly this time

Titles such as "Summer's Appointment" and "Winter Sonata" cannot be deemed unfavorable; however, in the current market environment characterized by an explosion of content and the fragmentation of readers' attention, they are destined to be less effective

After posting the new chapter today, he glanced at the comments on yesterday's chapter. Although some readers later expressed that there was nothing wrong with it, many still indicated their dislike for that female supporting character

For a struggling author like Jiang Miao, achieving a good result during the launch of a new book requires careful attention to every aspect, starting from the title, the synopsis, and the beginning of the novel, ensuring that each element is well-managed

However, Jiang Miao does not like to do this

Zhou Zhou loves to drink porridge: But this has nothing to do with us, dislike is just dislike

At this time, the most straightforward and convenient method is actually to delete those negative reviews, in order to prevent these comments from misleading readers who originally did not perceive any issues.

It is impossible to store drafts; having them on hand only leads to laziness.

His book title is simple and easy to understand, straightforward and accurate

The senior sister is probably busy and has not replied to the messages.

There is a feeling of sudden clarity

However, the character setting of the female supporting role is that of a spoiled rich second generation, which is logically consistent in terms of behavior

The current issue is that he believes the content he has written is not problematic

Upon hearing what the senior said, Jiang Miao immediately felt a pang of heartache

However, there are quite a few readers who express their discontent

For Jiang Miao and his new book, this moment is precisely the golden phase of the new book period, and it is also the time when errors must be avoided at all costs

It has been half an hour since I last checked the time, and I am unsure if I am still available now

Zhou Zhou loves to drink porridge: This female supporting character secretly took her brother's phone and sent a message to the male lead to trick him into coming to her house, which is clearly an act of stealing someone else's partner

Only after the book is published, and readers pay for subscriptions, having read tens of millions of words, investing both money and time, and developing an emotional resonance with the characters and plot within the book, will the likelihood of them abandoning the book decrease

Not long after, Jiang Miao's QQ also received a new message

I read the book recommended by my senior sister last night, and I saw the latest chapter from yesterday. I found that many people dislike that female supporting character. What is your opinion on this, senior sister?

No, no, I just feel that it is not easy for the author to write a book, and it seems unfair to be criticized like this

He then opened the writing software again, intending to take advantage of the surge of inspiration to write a bit more.

However, I do not understand what the peach jam is thinking, perhaps the plot indeed requires such a character to drive the story forward

In terms of the outline and character design, the female supporting character evolves from being rebellious and eccentric in the early stages to learning to empathize and gradually becoming gentle and understanding in the later stages. Overall, it is indeed a relatively outstanding character design.

Once a plot point becomes problematic, or there is a logical error, or the characters are unlikable, it can easily lead to a decline in readership data

Boss of the Porridge: Keep it up

I am very happy

However, after he opened WeChat, he found that his senior had already replied to him

Only those authors who have established a certain reader base are qualified to use it

Even the senior who wrote the book I like the most... thinks the female supporting character is annoying?

The problem was originally here ... ... " Jiang Miao pondered over the senior's words, gradually realizing where her own issues lay

Does this really need to be asked?

The first chapter of this book describes how the male protagonist is invited by his childhood friend to watch a movie, only to be tricked into sitting in a couple's seat, and then, midway through, the female protagonist confesses her feelings to him.

However, once placed within the lengthy update periods of extensive online literature, the initial character flaws of the female supporting role will be magnified infinitely, while the beauty that can only be revealed later will have no opportunity to be showcased

As the title format of "My Girlfriend is XXX", it first highlights the main attraction of the book with the term "Girlfriend", and then specifies the identity of the girlfriend with XXX, thereby reinforcing this attraction

The title of the book has already been mentioned, and the synopsis is essentially a condensed version of the first two chapters of the novel

Zhou Zhou loves to drink porridge: Hmm! If Peach Jam knew there was a new reader like you, it would definitely be very happy

I see now, I apologize for bothering you, senior

After returning to her chair, Jiang Miao threw her phone aside, forcing herself not to think about the comments for the time being, and focused on completing today's updates first

... ...

With this thought in mind, Jiang Miao pondered over her wording for a moment before pressing her finger on the screen

Oh right, previously you promised your female lead illustration for the book you are working on, the first draft is already out, let me send it to you to take a look ~

He always sends it out once it's written; otherwise, if he keeps it to himself, he constantly thinks about perfecting it, which ultimately wastes time and the results do not improve significantly

At this point, the cost of abandoning a book has become relatively high, so readers are more tolerant of minor flaws and errors within the text

[Porridge Boss]: I just finished reading the two chapters updated today, and I have to say, it's a feast of dog food ~ (thumbs up ~)

In this regard, Jiang Miao believes that he has done quite well

At 8 PM, Jiang Miao emerged from her writing state

Nevertheless, thank you very much, senior.

This is certainly good, but those who read can only see the content at the front. The updates from the Pigeon Spirit are so slow that everyone has no time to think about the many subsequent developments

Jiang Miao took a deep breath, reopened the comments, and liked all the readers who had given negative reviews.

His authority to delete posts and impose bans is reserved solely for those who disregard the logic of the narrative, engage in personal attacks, or make comments that involve elders and organs

As soon as this sentence was spoken by the senior, it instantly awakened Jiang Miao, bringing him out of the dead end in an instant

However, it seems that you, junior, have quite a bit of research? It feels like you are thinking about the issues from the author's perspective

Generally, a normal girl would certainly avoid meeting alone with a boy who has a girlfriend, let alone inviting him to her home

Zhou Zhou loves to drink porridge: It's alright, I actually quite enjoy discussing the plot like this

Is there something going on?

Headache

Cough cough... Seeing the confusion on her senior's face, Jiang Miao's heart raced, and he quickly explained

In addition to completing the remaining few hundred words of the afternoon chapter, he also wrote an additional chapter, totaling two chapters, which he uploaded all at once

However, even if the title, summary, and opening of the novel meet the qualifying standards, it can only be said that it has made a good start for the novel

Perhaps the author has merely established such an unlikable character, and then gradually shifts her perspective in the subsequent plot, resulting in a transformation of her character design

To truly achieve a good result, the period leading up to the release of a new book with 200,000 words is considered the golden phase for novel content, and one must not be careless in the slightest

Jiang Miao: "... ..."

My Girlfriend is a Million-Follower Content Creator

Otherwise, driven by the inertia of reading, even if the quality of the content declines in the later stages, they will still continue to read on

At such times, it truly tests the author's skill
