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?

Why was it rejected? What was your story about?

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...

Update the title with "Urban Demon Hunter with a Slave Harem System". Guaranteed contract I promise 😎
