Chapter 1216: Chapter 456: The Stingy Dad Is Here (Part 14)_2

He Zhuo didn’t listen because he needed the money.

He made a rough calculation, if he writes nine thousand words daily, he can earn thirty to forty thousand in manuscript fees a month.

Now, he’s doubling his updates, so next month, he can earn seventy to eighty thousand.

At least it’s enough to pay off debts.

Besides, it’s not like he’s finishing this novel and has nothing more to write.

He has another even better, more explosive book in hand.

The editor saw He Zhuo’s reply and felt more and more that this newcomer is unreliable.

The editor worried that He Zhuo’s greed might cause problems, but He Zhuo blamed the editor for meddling too much.

He insisted on publishing the new book, and guaranteed, ”Bro, don’t worry, even if I start a new book, it won’t affect the updates of the old one!”

This isn’t about affecting updates, it’s about whether web novel authors can sustainably develop.

A solid approach, gradually building up, is the right attitude for development in the web novel circle.

Looking at He Zhuo, tsk, the editor can’t feel his respect and passion for his work, it seems like they’re just tools for making money.

Still, no matter how uncomfortable it is, the author insists, and the editor can’t obstruct too much.

After hesitating momentarily, the editor sent a message, ”Alright, send me the outline and the first three Chapters of the new book!”

This was exactly what He Zhuo was waiting for.

He mentally copied the novel’s outline and the first three Chapters to a document and sent it to the editor.

The editor quickly read through, and although he felt that He Zhuo’s attitude towards writing was problematic, he had to admit: this guy writes truly well.

Especially this new book, both in style and writing skills, there’s a significant improvement over the previous work.

The editor has a hunch this book is definitely going to explode in popularity.

However, the editor still felt some concern.

Because after reading the first three Chapters, although the draft was small, he still sharply sensed —

The style, wording habits of this book are clearly different from the last book.

The last book was a Xiao Bai urban fiction, relying on novelty and creativity, the writing quality was quite average.

The impression is like a newcomer author’s experimentation.

While this book is mature, the writing style has improved by leaps and bounds.

It’s still a comforting urban novel, yet you can feel the author’s literary talent and cultural background through the writing.

If the two works were spaced a year or two apart, the improvement of the author’s works wouldn’t seem so strange to the editor.

Now, the difference between the two works is only two or three months, this, this—

The forum was already abuzz with discussions about He Zhuo’s ”plagiarism”, if he publishes another obviously different style and much improved book, who knows how skeptical the netizens might be.

Being infamous still means being famous.

But if the author wants to develop long-term in the web novel circle, he should cherish his reputation and avoid being tainted with such stigma!

The editor sincerely considered for He Zhuo, hoping he could develop steadily and sustainably.

He Zhuo, however, wasn’t thinking much about this; he just wanted to make money quickly.

As for the rest, ha, he’s a time-traveling male lead, not only possessing many memories beyond this time-space but also backed by a system.

Even if he can’t make it in the web novel circle, he can write songs, scripts, and become a real big capitalist!

So, faced with the editor’s analysis and persuasion, He Zhuo was unmoved and insisted on starting a new book.

The editor reluctantly agreed.

And so, just two months after his first web novel was published, He Zhuo started a new book.

As the editor predicted, the netizens began to question the two books’ vastly different writing styles and obvious disparity in writing skills.

The topic of He Zhuo’s plagiarism rose to the top of the forum’s hot list.

He Zhuo didn’t care at all, every day, besides copying and pasting, he continued to chat up girls.

Of course, because he’s burdened with high-interest loans, He Zhuo didn’t dare be as flamboyant as last month.

He restrained himself a bit.

But once the habit of spending money freely opens up, it’s hard to close it back.

Not to mention, He Zhuo is used to paying one debt with another.

A month passed, and although He Zhuo’s manuscript fees indeed increased significantly, correspondingly, his debts were increasing at a rolling pace too.

Only when the new book went online and He Zhuo received two manuscript fees did he barely plug the debt loophole.

”... Haha, I said it, I’m a time-traveling male lead, a chosen child, how could I be a LOSER forever?”
