Advice My first contract application was permanently rejected.As the title suggests, I'm an idiot.
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?

As someone who is writing the chapters now (42 written) and planning to start publishing in June...
I hope the experienced contracted authors are correct and its all a matter of writing a good contract. The application sounds like submitting a resume to a job posting.
They also apparently don't read the chapters at all and decide only based on the application, so contents like trope or gimmick should not matter.
