Chapter 309: Chapter 288 New Short Story is Coming_1
The box office has basically stabilized.
In the following days, Lin Yuan didn’t pay too much attention to the follow-up situation of the movie, instead, he put on his “Chu Kuang” pseudonym and started writing the last volume of “Ghost Blows Out the Light”.
That’s right.
After nearly a year of serialization, the book “Ghost Blows Out the Light” finally welcomed its final volume.
Because Lin Yuan’s typing speed was very fast, the completion time could have been advanced by a month, but it was slightly delayed because he was previously busy with the comic and post-production music for the movie.
The final volume is named “Witch Gorge Coffin Mountain”.
Among the eight stories in the serialized novel, “Witch Gorge Coffin Mountain” is not the most popular, but its importance is self-evident.
Because all the plot holes in this novel have been filled up till the last story!
This is also the biggest difference between this novel and other novels of the same genre, such as “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles”.
As we all know, there are many plot holes in “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” that were not filled until the end of serialization.
Hard to say what plot hole “Ghost Blows Out the Light” has left…
Could the “Sixteen Characters Feng Shui Secret” be considered one?
The author didn’t give specifics about the content of the book, just saying it was very powerful.

But this can’t really be considered a plot hole.
When Elder Jin was writing wuxia, he couldn’t possibly write out the content of “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms”, could he?
Besides, there is an explanation in the novel and it was mentioned that…
Because “Sixteen Characters Feng Shui Secret” would reveal the secrets of heaven, so half of it was burnt.
The remaining half of the content is explained in the novel.
This is what makes “Ghost Blows Out the Light” so impressive, it fills all the plot holes, whether they are filled perfectly or not, at least it doesn’t leave readers with doubts after reading the entire series.
The novel was completed in mid-February.
After Lin Yuan sent it to Silver Blue Books, they didn’t wait until the first of next month, but directly published it.
Then, the readers who had been following this novel for nearly a year finally saw the complete version of “Ghost Blows Out the Light”.
As a best-selling book with high popularity, the completion of “Ghost Blows Out the Light” is worth paying attention to for the entire industry.
Because of the appearance of this novel, many copycat works appeared in the industry, and some of them even had good sales. From this point of view alone, the status of this novel is already affirmed.
Therefore, as soon as the novel was finished, the sales of the previous volumes all had different levels of improvement.
In addition, the evaluation of the entire book also reached a very high level.
The message board of Silver Blue Books and the comment area of “Ghost Blows Out the Light” were very lively at this time:
“Eight volumes are not enough, Chu Kuang old rascal please give us eight more~”
“I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I don’t want this novel to end, but on the other hand, I hope it can end, because only then can we see Chu Kuang’s new book.”
“Judging from the content, the word count of Chu Kuang old rascal’s novels is increasing. This novel being serialized to nearly two million words is very conscientious. Think how many words ‘King of the Net’ has?”
“I always feel chilly on my back when reading this novel. When the novel ended, my heart also felt a chill.”
“Weasel Grave and Wrathful Huangxiang are personally considered the most exciting. The fight against the giant centipede in Wrathful Huangxiang, the relationship between Quail Whistle and Lady Red, subtle yet shocking!”
“The Ancient City of Jingjue is the most stunning, after all, it caught my eye from the beginning.”
“…”
Not only the readers’ reluctance and summary, but also the evaluation of the industry.
The chief editor of an editorial department described it as this:
“This is a work that can keep people up all night reading from the moment it is launched. It has a magnificent imagination, lifelike dialogues, a materialistic atheism challenges the unknown… and then, the status starts to reverse, there are too many things that science can’t handle… readers later read the fear in their hearts… the current science has its limits, but the unknown has no limits, we are afraid, so we invented science, but science can’t save all our fears… maybe this is how religion came.”
“Literature and Art Gazette” also reported on the matter:
“Chu Kuang, with his immense cultural heritage and scientific literacy, powerful penmanship, and structural capacity, has carved out his own path, leading the tomb-raiding novels in Blue Star. The ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’ doesn’t really have any ghosts, but it ends in science, humanities, and nature. It’s magnificent and inspiring, like drinking wine, the feeling is intoxicating after drinking it all, and like tasting tea, you can savor it for a long time.”
Meanwhile.
The forum of Chu Kuang is also full of messages from readers, of course, there are many voices urging Chu Kuang to publish a new book.
With nothing to do, Lin Yuan read many of the messages.
Among them, one message caught his attention:
“Did Chu Kuang old rascal forget that he hasn’t written a short story for a long time? After ‘Necklace’, I’ve been looking forward to his new short work, don’t just focus on writing long ones.”
Indeed.
After finishing “Necklace”, Lin Yuan hadn’t touched short stories for a while. When he was lucky, he had gotten five short stories in a row.
Now he has published four of them, with one still in his hand unreleased.
Should he find an opportunity to release it?
Because he can’t start a new long story right away, there is still room for “Ghost Blows Out the Light” to digest.
He hadn’t released any short story for so long, so he didn’t have this concern.
With that thought, Lin Yuan surprisingly felt the pleasure of actively publishing his new work, and started chatting with Jin Mu.
“A new short story?”
Jin Mu thought for a while and said: “The most suitable platform for publication at the moment is Tribe. Since Qin Qi Chu merged, the author resources have greatly increased, and Tribe is releasing new short stories every month. Also, the top three have long-term bonuses, and this platform can guarantee the maximum number of readers for your novel…”
Then he continued.
Jin Mu smiled and said: “Because of Chu’s entry, your short story writer rank has dropped several places. If the quality of this novel is good, our ranking may be higher…”
Lin Yuan said, “So I’ll publish it first?”
Jin Mu shook his head: “Big name short story writers like you can negotiate with the website about the fee for new works, which is an income in addition to the prize money. This means we can earn a bit more.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yuan laughed.
This is the advantage of having an agent, before he used to publish directly, then tried to get the prize money. He didn’t realize that he could calculate the fee before publishing. Jin Mu would discuss this with the other party.
“We could earn at least an additional two hundred thousand!”
Jin Mu confidently said: “Of course, the premise is that you can get in the top three, plus, your ranking in the field of short story writers also decides the amount of the fee. If you enter the top ten, we should be able to ask for more, because besides Tribe, there are other platforms soliciting contributions.”
Tribe is now the biggest platform.
But apart from Tribe, desperate competitors like blogs and others have never given up struggling, still trying to find the turning point, after all, the struggle for customers is not a matter of a day or two.
For now, Tribe just has the upper hand.
