Chapter 78

Over time, she actually lost interest in reading novels.

It's like eating abalone; occasionally eating it, you naturally like it immensely. But eating it every day, every meal, where would you still have much appetite? Instead, you would feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Rest for a while..."

Rubbing her eyes, Gu Qingyao decided to go to the bathroom, wash her hands, change her mind, and sober up.

And at the bathroom door, there were also several male editors puffing away; they were all Feilu

"Did you find any seedlings today?" asked an editor whose hair had already gone bald.

Seedling is industry jargon, referring to novels with good quality.

Every editor's monthly bonus is related to the subscription manuscript fees of the novels they signed.

An explosive novel not only makes the author rich, but the editor can also have some soup.

"Difficult to handle, empty-handed all morning." A floral-shirt editor shook his head; you could tell just by listening that he liked fishing.

"I haven't either, but there are a few that are not bad; I've already passed their contract review, and next, it depends on their own performance."

Feilu Chinese Network novels can apply for a contract after reaching 50,000 words, but after a novel is signed, it doesn't mean it will definitely make money; it mainly depends on the quality of the novel.

At this time.

An editor said: "Mainly because martial arts and immortal cultivation have become niche themes now, and the big gods have all gone to write fantasy and urban, so it's hard for high-quality martial arts and immortal cultivation novels to appear."

After speaking.

Everyone nodded.

This sentence resonated with everyone.

Fantasy can be said to be a novel developed from martial arts and immortal cultivation; since fantasy novels exploded on the internet and became the mainstream theme, martial arts and immortal cultivation gradually declined and became extremely niche, especially martial arts, which is so niche that almost no one writes it, except for those die-hard martial arts fans and fan fiction.

Let alone producing any boutique novels or explosive novels in these two themes.

As for urban novels, because of the sense of immersion, they have always been the T0 theme in web novels.

When in doubt, writing urban is the right choice.

"Martial arts and immortal cultivation have no hope; I have already applied to the higher-ups to see if I can go to the sixth group."

"The sixth group? Isn't that the group responsible for supernatural and sci-fi? It seems that won't work either, right?"

"Better than eating dirt in our second group."

"That's true! Although supernatural and sci-fi are niche themes, there are always some supporters willing to pay for the novels they like."

"..."

Gu Qingyao didn't participate in the discussion.

She was a newly joined employee, just turned regular from an intern, and in the second group, she belonged to the transparent existence.

She wasn't familiar with these old employees.

After coming out of the bathroom, she returned to her workstation.

As a female "tomboy" who had liked watching martial arts and immortal cultivation dramas since she was a child, she liked the martial arts and immortal cultivation themes very much.

Although these two themes were very cold now, she still hadn't given up hope.

Every time she reviewed a work, she wanted to find a martial arts or immortal cultivation novel that could be called a boutique.

This was the motivation that supported her to keep working overtime these days.

Unfortunately, day after day of searching, day after day of disappointment.

"Read a few more, then go eat after finishing." Gu Qingyao glanced at the time; it was already approaching mealtime.

She opened a new novel.

But this time, the book title made Gu Qingyao frown; the novel's name was: "Zhe Tian". ===== CHAPTER 79 =====
