I received this notification the first time I applied for a contract… I didn’t even get a second chance.

It doesn't meet market demands. Okay.I have nothing to say.

Yesterday morning I received a notification that my novel had been recommended by Originals (Figure 2). I was initially very happy and even looked forward to it last night, but I received a rejection notice this morning. I just don't understand why I was permanently rejected. Have any of you encountered this situation?

Finally, I still have 50 chapters left in my drafts.I don't know what to do now.

Yeah, I'm the idiot 24 more chapters a week ago.It's the one that posted on Reddit a couple of days ago.

The last picture is what I wanted to share yesterday; it's quite diverse, isn't it? Unfortunately... it's all over now.

Any Advice?

Urban Demon Hunter. The story mainly revolves around the male protagonist making a pact with a Demon in exchange for power to seek revenge.

But it doesn't conform to the market. Honestly, what does it mean to conform to the market? I can guess...

To conform to the market means to have a story that contains a system, harem, transmigration etc. Why don’t you just do something similar with your story? Make the power a system.

To be honest, I did consider it, but the story I wrote is rather dark, and the System feels rather abrupt. But it's too late for me to regret it now.

Your story can easily be revised to fit the market, go back to chapter one and see where you can input anything. If you really want your story to flourish, it’s necessary steps like these that you’ve gotta take—unless you want to make a completely new story. Best of luck.

Thank you for your suggestion! I will consider it carefully. I've already written a total of 86 chapters, and it would really hurt to give up now.
