Why did Qing Yuannian only publish the first six books?

Answer 1

There were many reasons why Qing Yuannian only published the first six books. The following were the possible reasons:

1. The copyright of a novel is generally purchased by the author or the publishing house. If the author does not want to sell the copyright to multiple publishing houses, he can only publish his own work. In this case, the first six novels may be copyrights purchased by the author himself, and the later novels may no longer be controlled by the author and can only be published by other publishing houses.

2. Business considerations: publishing novels requires a lot of time and resources. If you only publish the first six novels, you may not be able to get enough attention and commercial returns. Therefore, the publishing house might choose to publish only the first six novels in order to earn more profits.

Storyline: Some novels may have a "foreplay" or "warm-up" stage to allow the reader to better understand the storyline and characters. If the publishing house published the later novels, there might be conflicts or contradictions with the previous novels, affecting the readers 'desire to buy.

The reason why Qing Yuannian only published the first six books was probably the result of a combination of factors. Only the author and the publishing house knew the specific reasons.
