A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 4 The Boy Who Contributed a Girl's Romance Novel

As soon as Xia Yan entered, there was a woman in her 20s with black-rimmed glasses inside.

Oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, straight nose bridge, exquisite features, long hair shawl, a proper beauty.

She is Tang Yin, the editor of Hongfeng Literature who is in charge of on-site review of new manuscripts today, and her face is a little tired at the moment.

After all, there are as few as thirty or forty people who come to Red Maple Literature to submit manuscripts on the spot every day, and as many as hundreds of people. It is easy to get tired after reviewing the manuscripts of newcomers continuously.

Xia Yan walked into the room curiously, he was looking at Tang Yin Tang Yin, and he was also looking at him.

Student
Tang Yin sighed inwardly.

After all, Xia Yan has a delicate appearance, a 16-year-old boy, no matter how blind others are, they will not regard you as a social person.

It’s not that there are no student writers in the light novel world of Longguo, but students often have to take care of their studies and lack of experience. 90.00% of the novels they create are indescribable.
It’s no different from self-healing essays. It doesn’t consider the market at all. The writing and plot structure have no rules. Write wherever you think of it. Very few works created by students can be selected for serialization.

Most of the creators who can be serialized in the novel periodicals of major book clubs are those who have been studying the novel industry all the year round and eat this bowl of food professionally. Those people are basically adults. After all, they only have so much time to read. Conceive the plot and find inspiration for the novel.

Of course, except for a very small number of unreasonable industry geniuses.
"Hello, Xia Yan, right? I'm the responsible editor of Hongfeng Literature, Tang Yin." Tang Yin said with a smile as she looked at the information sheet that Xia Yan had filled out before.

"Hello, Miss Tang." Xia Yan sat down.

Although he is just a student, his father took him to various uncles and friends to have a lot of dinners, and he will not be socially afraid like many students of the same age when dealing with social people.

"You are a sophomore in Nancheng No. [-] Middle School, right?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"Yes."

After a pause, Tang Yin didn't ask any more questions. After the name and identity were confirmed, there was no need to know more about other things. After all, if the quality of the novel manuscript brought by Xia Yan was not good enough, it would be a waste of time to know about those things.

"I see that the name of the novel you want to submit on your information sheet is called "Youth Journey", um. The genre is. Girl's love type." Tang Yin's tone was slightly strange.

Normally, the novels that a high school boy can create should be works with male characters as the main characters, such as battles, supernatural powers, and love affairs.

Girls in love?As the name suggests, first of all the main character is a woman.

Can your novel written by a sophomore in high school accurately describe the thoughts and thoughts of a girl character and the delicate inner world of a woman?
You know, the inner world of boys and girls is very different.

Anyway, in Tang Yin's two years of editing career, she has seen female creators create popular juvenile-themed novels, but she has never seen male-created teenage romance novels become popular.

"That's right, it's about girls' love. I'm very confident in the work "Youth Journey"!"

Xia Yan intentionally showed a confident smile on his face, and handed the portfolio of the novel manuscript of Youth Journey to the opposite side with both hands, and the momentum was anyway.

It's not that he's really not guilty at all, he's also worried. The fact that works in parallel worlds are popular in that world doesn't mean it's the same in Dragon Kingdom.

But as a creator, he can't show any timidity at this moment. Creators don't have confidence in their own works, and it must be difficult for others to have confidence in your works.

Tang Yin didn't waste time, opened the file bag, took out the manuscript and started reviewing it.

[I once had an indelible time! 】

The beginning story of Youth Journey is actually very simple. When the heroine Futaba and the heroine were in junior high school, they gathered under the eaves to hide from the rain because of a shower. After this brief contact, the two fell in love with each other.

But later, due to various reasons, he was about to transfer to this junior high school. Before he left, he wanted to ask Futaba to say goodbye at the temple fair.

But because the female protagonist Futaba and the male protagonist Kuang got too close, they were ridiculed by the classmates for their impure relationship.

In desperation, Futaba said "I hate all boys!" to everyone!

And this sentence also deeply hurt the heart of "Gu" who heard it not far away, so at seven o'clock that night, at the place agreed upon by the temple fair...Guang, who was obviously the inviter, did not come, and Transfer school and leave the next day.

Since ancient times, arrogance has ruined one's life.
This is the beginning of the story between Futaba, the heroine of Youth Journey, and the hero, Kuang.

In the novel version of "Youth Journey" adapted by Xia Yan, a lot of pen and ink was used at the beginning to describe the image of Futaba who was clumsy, arrogant, and not frank in junior high school.

The plot easily got Tang Yin into the state of reading.

I thought it was a teenage romance novel written by an ordinary high school boy, but actually after reading the opening plot,
[This relationship is astonishingly clumsy and hazy, although it seems to be groping all the time, but I really liked him at that time]

【Even now, he is still in the corner of my heart. I really want to go back to that time.】

The heroine's inner monologue portrays her unrepentant emotional state of mind.

As a romance novel for young girls, this beginning has actually attracted Tang Yin's attention.

And the main text of the story came to the high school stage of the heroine Futaba three years later.

In order to avoid being isolated by girls because of the cute and weak image that boys like like in junior high school, Futaba, who went to high school, deliberately behaved carelessly in front of her classmates and hid her cute side.
Deliberately eating too much, talking loudly, not being gentle and considerate on purpose, making the boys think she is not a lady. In exchange for this, the girls in the class feel at ease with her.

Nearly thirty to forty percent of the text at the beginning is describing the inner world of the heroine Futaba.

That's right, this is the big difference between the works for girls and the works for teenagers.

In most teen romance novels, especially those harem-oriented novels, readers actually focus on all kinds of female characters, male lead?It’s just a tool for readers to feel a sense of substitution. Many times you will find that if you change the character, person, or even directly the story of the readers who read the novels, the hero in these works will not be too abrupt. , can make sense.

But there is a difference in teenage love works. The protagonist of the story is the heroine, and she is difficult to be replaced in the story.

The highlight of the work is the transformation of the heroine's mental journey, from ignorance, to liking, to being unable to extricate herself, and then to cruelty, sweetness, first cruelty and then sweetness, etc.
The description of these women's inner emotions is basically difficult for male creators to write, just like Gongdou-themed movies and TV shows, most of them can only be created by girls. There is a reason why male creators can write a bunch of women competing for favor around a man What about the plot?
And the boy in front of him.
Tang Yin looked up at him.
"In his novels, the description of the state of mind of the girl who is secretly in love between the lines is really delicate! It is more attractive than many female writers." Tang Yin cursed in her heart.

The setting of the heroine named Futaba is quite interesting.

Will there be a follow-up between her and the young man she had a crush on three years ago?

Soon the main plot of the novel started from this day when she met Guang again in high school.

Attracted by the other party, he unconsciously looked for him in the school, approached him, and talked again under the eaves where we had sheltered from the rain three years ago.

[Even though the height and voice have all changed, the one who appeared in front of me was the boy I fell in love with for the first time. 】

The girl's heart was beating faster.

Tang Yin continued to read the article:
"You seem to hate boys from before." After three years of reunion, at the place where the two of them sheltered from the rain together, Qing smiled lightly and said casually.

"Well, I've hated it since before." Futaba hugged her schoolbag with both hands, her fingers tightly clenched, her voice was steady, and she suppressed the trembling as much as possible.

"But... you are an exception!"

The boy covered his eyes with his hands, covering his expression.

"What! That's right."

"Well, me too, I used to like you very much." Guang said in a gentle and calm tone.

[Just like the happiest time back then, let's go back in time! 】

Futaba prayed in her heart.

"Already, there's no way to do it all over again. Me too, and you too." With a smile, his tone was indifferent, and he turned and left.

Tears overflowed from Futaba Hitomi's eyes, watching his back as he left.

【He was saying to make me forget, but when he said such cold words, there was a trace of loneliness on his face.At the night of the temple fair three years ago, I waited for him all night, but he didn't come.I was thinking that the summer vacation was over, so I should explain the misunderstanding to him.]

[I think there are still many opportunities. 】

【. We can no longer go back to that time. 】

The novel Chapter 1, the plot ends here.

Tang Yin's hands trembled slightly. To be honest, from the beginning of the story to the 1-word plot description of the reunion of the hero and heroine, if it was normal, she probably would have spent two to three minutes.

Don't underestimate the ability to edit ten lines at a glance.High efficiency, and fast viewing speed does not affect the review quality.

But this time.
Tang Yin looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

ten 1 minutes
She watched it carefully for 1 minutes, completely substituting into the inner world of the girl Futaba, bringing into her admiration and love for Guang, and the regret of saying the words against her will three years ago.

Until the end of Chapter 1, the inner thought of "there are still many opportunities!" made her unconsciously feel a little sad.
There are so many opportunities in the world, if you miss it, it will be forever.

Xia Yan wrote the first three chapters of the novel manuscript for her youth journey. Xia Yan has researched, the five major book clubs in Southern Province, and the light novels serialized by them. of the plot text.

Therefore, he tried his best to control the plot arrangement and the number of chapters in this category.

Xia Yan waited for Tang Yin in this silent room for 10 minutes. During this period, she didn't say a word. Xia Yan was actually a little anxious even now.

Is it good or not?
