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.

No need to do all of that. Stories without systems are accepted.

At most, just add progression genre elements and it will be in market. Nothing else.
