Chapter 260 Yutai and Reward (Please Subscribe)
Eight o'clock in the morning, Chiba.
Yuta got up from the bed, stretched his waist, opened the curtains and looked at the clear blue sky outside the house, with a smile on his face.
"Yoshi!"
"It looks like today is also a good day!"
With such nice weather, it would be a pity not to dry out the quilt. Yuta, who has become accustomed to living alone, has mastered these life tips very early.
"Ah?"
Just as he was about to wash up and make some breakfast to satisfy his stomach, the cell phone placed on the bedside table suddenly rang.
Who is the one?
A phone call came out of nowhere early in the morning, which filled Yuta with curiosity.
"Hello, Yuta-kun!"
"I am the editor of the Bibi Comics review team. Are you the original author of the light novel "My Sister Can't Be a Super White-Haired Elementary School Student"?"
"Hi Yi!"
Yuta suddenly realized.
It turned out to be the editor of the website, and he called to ask if he would sign a contract and authorize the website to entrust the work to operate and promote it.
Beep comics!
This is a recently established online comic and light novel serial website. It is not well-known in Neon, and not many people know about it.
What a coincidence, Yuta knows.
As a full-time light novel writer, he noticed this website shortly after its establishment and uploaded a work on it.
Great!
Yuta admitted that he just had the idea of "giving it a try". After all, the serialization of online light novels did not sound very reliable.
It would be safer to go for physical publishing.
But he never expected that the light novel he uploaded would be appreciated by the website editor, who said he would sign a contract with him and focus on promoting it.
Good guy!
is this real?
As a well-known "girl-control" light novel author in the industry, the work Yuta uploaded on Bibi Comics is not, strictly speaking, particularly outstanding.
at most……
Is the setting more novel?
This can also be taken seriously by the website, and even promoted as a key point. Yuta feels that it is a bit unreal.
But then again.
As a "key attention" target, the conditions offered by the Bibi website to Yutai are quite attractive. Not to mention various preferential treatment, the most exciting thing for Yutai is the "animation adaptation".
That's right!
Bip Comics claims that they are backed by a multinational animation giant. Once the work has achieved results and accumulated a certain degree of popularity on the Internet, they will recommend it to the headquarters for adaptation of animations, comics, and games.
Wuhu!
I never thought that my works could be adapted into animations. In fact, Yuta was almost moved when he heard this.
But he still hesitated.
The root of the hesitation is that once he signs a contract with the website, will it affect his cooperation with other publishing houses?
"Do not worry."
"We only sign contracts for the Internet. As for offline physical publishing, there are no restrictions at all."
That's good!
After learning that it would not affect his main business, Yuta readily agreed to the contract, and later uploaded more chapters of "My Sister Can't Be a Super White-Haired Elementary School Student".
The website is also very impressive.
Since signing the contract, almost every effort has been made to promote this work.
The first volume has just been written, but this light novel has already accumulated tens of thousands of fans on the website, ranking first in the light novel rankings.
Very good results!
This made Yuta, who was involved in "online light novel serialization" for the first time, very satisfied.
But there is one pity.
Although it has achieved good results on the website, ranking high in clicks, readings and even positive reviews, Yuta has not made any money from it.
"There is no way, there are too few people on the website."
Like Yutai, a comic author who signed a contract with Bibi Comics complained: "No one reads it, so naturally you can't make much money."
This is true.
Although the Bip Comics website has been working hard to attract new users through advertising, it has achieved little success. The number of active users of the website has always remained around 10,000.
This base is too small.
Although the website has launched a "reward" service and is also planning a "VIP subscription" matter, with such a small user base, the author cannot make money no matter how hard he works.
"Well, let's forget it."
After working hard for almost a month, the income was only a few thousand yen. This made Yuta a little discouraged and he had almost no motivation to update.
Don’t forget, he is still number one on the list!
Even the head author of the website is so stupid, let alone others. Beep Comics may have a promising future, but it really doesn’t work now.
Just when Yuta was about to contact the editor to discuss finishing the work, giving up the online light novel serialization, and returning to the "offline" publishing route, an accident happened.
It was a sunny morning...
Yuta, who had just had breakfast, was using a foreign chat software called Live to chat with authors of neon light novels and comics on the same platform.
Live is a software that is used frequently among the authors of “Beep Comics”. Everyone usually uses this software to contact editors.
As soon as he clicked on the group chat, Yuta noticed something was wrong.
Why is it that the [Beep Comics Author Exchange Group], which is usually deserted and has less than a hundred chat messages in total, suddenly has 999+ messages today?
What happened?
Yuta was so confused that he even forgot to eat the omelette that was brought to his mouth. He quickly swiped the screen to check the previous chat history.
"One million yen!"
"Really or not? I envy you so much! If only I had such rich readers who would give me a reward of one million."
one million? Reward?
It does not make sense!
After reading the chat history in full, Yuta finally figured out what happened.
It turned out that there was a "comic" author in the group who received a huge reward of one million yen from a "rich" reader on the website, which immediately aroused everyone's envy.
One million yen!
Even if converted into U.S. dollars, it would be seven or eight thousand. No matter which country it is placed in, this money is not a small amount of money.
Yuta is also envious.
You know, everyone is a contracted author of [Beep Comics], why hasn't he met such a arrogant reader?
Damn it!
If I too...
Before Yuta finished speaking, his cell phone beeped, indicating that someone in the group was x-on:him.
"Yuta-kun! Stop diving, come out and see, you have also been rewarded by this rich man! x-on:Light novel-Yuta"

Looking at the content displayed on the screen, Yuta's eyes widened instantly, his expression full of disbelief.
What are you talking about?
He was envious of others just now, but now it's his turn?
A reader named [Passing Card Face to Play] gave a reward of 1 million yen to the work "My Sister Can't Be a Super White-Haired Elementary School Student".
"One million yen?"
Yuta, who originally lacked confidence and felt that the online light novel serialization had no future and even wanted to give up, suddenly regained his fighting spirit at this moment.
renew!
He wants to update like crazy!
