Science fiction literature is considered a niche in China, but it is a veritable popular literature internationally. There are many readers who like to read science fiction and many authors who like to write science fiction, so classics are emerging one after another.

The SFFworld Forum not only provides communication, but also places where science fiction writers accept interviews to recommend their novels. There are many active people and are all loyal science fiction fans. Only senior readers know about this forum.

Due to the jet lag, when Jesse posted this post at 5 p.m. in mainland China, it happened to be in the morning in Europe and the United States had not yet dawned.

But the geeks who are diving chatting are all night owls, and it is their normal situation to hike up and go out at night. Even if the time is wrong, Jesse's post still exploded many diving parties.

Geeks with picky tastes are not kind people. If the novel does not meet the standards, it will definitely be overwhelming difficulties. These people criticize their works very sharply. Once an author came here to recommend his own books, and then he was disliked and had to cancel the forum account.

But as long as the books they like are definitely very popular, they will spontaneously devote themselves to the publicity. More than one science fiction masterpiece was dug out of the sea of ​​books by this group of people and then headed to a broader market.

James, who was still active late at night, planned to go to bed after reading the latest posts. After all, it was already past four in the morning and the whole community was silent.

But when he opened the forum, he found that a post said "New" in front of it, and there were less than five replies. He could see dozens of posts like this kind of book-publishing a day, but not many books could be read.

"God, I really wish I hadn't had that cup of coffee, and I was not sleepy at all now. What is the story of "I, Robot"? I became a robot?"

James said, and clicked on the post, "Let me guess the plot, is the protagonist a robot or a terminal illness and put his mind on the robot."

But when he just said this idea, he found the three major rules of robot posted by Jesse, and he was shocked.

“Fucking-genius!”

Never seen such a novel idea, and directly set such restrictions on the robot, James' sleepiness was cleared all of a sudden. He quickly looked at the following replies, all of which expressed shock.

"I was shocked. I just searched on Amazon and found that there were only 5 downloads, and it was written by Han-Lin, a Chinese. Chinese people can write such excellent science fiction novels. They are so great. Unfortunately, they can't see the entity, so they can only download them into the Kindle."

"Did I read it wrong or what happened? This book is actually translated into Chinese and English, but I don't seem to have any obstacles at all. The story is very good. I decided to hurry up and finish reading this."

"Poor guy, there are only 8 purchases and downloads. I watched the free trial part, which is great."

"I highly recommend this book. The first few rules alone made me almost stop breathing. I had a premonition that it would become popular."

James switched the page and entered Amazon. After searching, he found that the book actually had a paper and electronic version in simplified Chinese, but he could only choose an English version of the e-book.

"After a moment, it turned out to be 24 purchases. It seems that many people have seen that post."

He said while paying for the purchase. Due to the different currencies of the two parties, there are differences in selling prices, and overall there is not much difference.

If there is anything bad about the United States, it is that the price of books is too expensive, especially textbooks. A book is a little cheaper and a book is a little more than 100 US dollars, while a book that is slightly more exquisite or thicker.

Although ordinary books like novels are cheaper, they cost more than twenty dollars per book, unless they buy second-hand books. However, many new books that have just been published have not entered the old book market, and the emergence of Amazon saved people's wallets.

After purchasing the e-book, James lay down on the bed, leaned his whole body against the pillow, turned on the soft desk lamp, slowly read it, and completely forgot about this at around 4 o'clock in the morning.

...

When the sky was just gray and bright, Lin Han got up from his bed. It was already past seven in the morning, but the sunrise in winter was relatively late, so the sunlight was still hiding in the fog.

After he finished washing up, he went out to run in his sportswear. The writer sat for too long, and most people had occupational diseases. It was common for cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation and hemorrhoids.

Lin Han is still young now and cannot hold on with the help of health. Only by maintaining exercise can you maintain a long writing life.

Masks are probably the most indispensable tool for Yanjing people. When Lin Han was running in the park, several wild dogs were rushing to eat, and I don’t know what they saw.

The old man who couldn't sleep was already teasing birds in the pavilion in the park. All kinds of exquisite birds in the cage were making crisp sounds, which were very pleasant.

Sweat like rain, and the sportswear outside seemed to be soaked with sweat. Lin Han returned to his house with buns and soy milk, and then took a shower and had breakfast.

After finishing all this, it was only 8:30 in the morning and the library was about to open at 9:00. He had plenty of time to take the subway to pass by.

But when he used his mobile phone to refresh the Amazon client, he was shocked by the number of purchases!

The physical version of "I, Robot" has purchased more than 80,000 people, while the electronic version of "I, Robot" has sold more times, with a total of 150,000 people. What made him happiest is that the paid downloads of the English version of "I, Robot" actually exceeded 1,200 people!

I just slept for a night, and the purchases changed from single digits to four digits, and there was a series of English reviews below!

"What the hell is this? Did Amazon recommend it for me?" Lin Han said to himself. He could hardly believe this fact. He thought that if he could sell 100 copies of this English version without publicity, it would be a victory.

Happiness came so suddenly that it was even refreshed and two more sales were added!

The morning of Yanjing time is the evening of American time. After a whole day of fermentation, the forum posts have changed from "New" to "Hot", and the comments alone have exceeded 15 pages, and there are many people who only read comments and do not reply.

With so many people gathered together, almost no one who read the novel before could find any bad reviews. He could only sigh and reply to his truest thoughts.

Evening is the peak period for buying books. Students are off get out of class and office workers are off work. Amazon’s keyword searches have increased rapidly. When Lin Han came to the National Library, sales have already risen to 1,500 people.

There are tens of thousands of active people in SFFworld, and tens of thousands of loyal science fiction readers saw this post and converted it into 1,500 purchases. The conversion range is actually quite scary, and many people plan to read it later.
Chapter completed!
