A Perfect Life Beginning as a Light Novel Writer

Chapter 53 Everyone's Thoughts

A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and a book cannot be judged by its appearance.

Tang Yin's expression froze slightly, and then she focused on the plot of the novel.

The heroine of the novel, Song Ren (Suhai Rentai), is a high school student, a useless person who only knows to waste time, skipping school and playing games, but one day in his life, he meets the soul of his dead friend Lin Yi (Meiko Honma).
The novel Chapter 1 uses a lot of pen and ink to describe the family environment of the hero Song Ren and the heroine Lin Yi.

The family's helplessness towards Song Ren, his decadent outlook on life, and his irresponsible attitude towards things
Seeing it made Tang Yin furious.

On the other hand, Lin Yi's portrayal is so cute that it bursts.

She is a petite and cute loli in a white skirt, she doesn't understand anything, but at a critical moment, a sentence can warm the hearts of readers.

She had been dead for several years, but when she returned home, she found that her family was still immersed in the grief of her departure. Although her father was calm and her younger brother's grief had faded away, her mother obviously failed to come out.

For every meal, she will be served a bowl of rice with food in between.

"Don't do this kind of thing. Every time I eat, I will give my sister a portion. It looks like an eyesore. If I die, I won't be able to eat." The younger brother can say this kind of words while playing with his mobile phone.

"Don't say such things. Maybe your sister is so confused. Up to now, she didn't realize that she was dead. Feed her." The mother just looked at Lin Yi's photo, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"I know." Lin Yi stood among the family members with a smile on his face, but his voice was a little choked up.

"Lin Yi, I still know. I'm already dead."

The father is reading the newspaper, the younger brother is eating, and the mother is looking at her posthumous photos to see things and think about others.

However, their family, Lin Yi, is here, but they can't see it.

No one heard what she said.

She was right in front of her family, but she couldn't have any communication with them.

The whole world, those who can see her and hear her speak.
Only the male lead, Song Ren.

Seeing this, Tang Yin's heart suddenly blocked.

To say that Unheard Huaming's early stage plot is slow does not mean that its early stage plot is really not interesting at all.

Perhaps in the previous plot of this work, a lot of space is used to pave the way for the plot, create the atmosphere of the novel, and mobilize the readers' emotions a little bit.

But it can break the reader's defense suddenly, suddenly, with a line, a picture, and a plot of less than ten seconds.

Of course, most of these touching highlights are concentrated on the heroine.

This work is impeccable in shaping the heroine.

But why do many people feel that this work is not attractive enough in the early stage?
The problem is not with the plot at all, but with the male protagonist.

The original setting of this hero is really too ordinary.

No golden fingers, no extraordinary courage, no amazing wisdom displayed.

Well. He is just an ordinary person, a sunny boy when he was young, and later suffered trauma due to the death of the heroine, which led to the abandoned house that has been deserted for his life from elementary school to high school.

The only unusual thing about him in this work is that the heroine likes him, and he can see the ghost of the heroine and communicate with the heroine, other than that, nothing else.

When you look at the work, you will feel very cute when you see the heroine appearing on the stage. When you see the childhood playmates of the protagonists appearing on the stage, you will feel that these characters are portrayed very realistically.

But then what?

The male lead is real. He didn't have much opportunity to show in the early stage, and he was even weak and suppressed in the interpersonal relationship with his childhood partner.

This makes it look boring to the audience who take the male protagonist's perspective.

Tang Yin is also going through this process now
As Lin Yi, the heroine, the more she watched, the more she liked it.

I often sigh in the process of watching, how Xia Yan portrays the female character so well, Lin Yi is really sensible, cute, teary eyes, which makes people feel distressed.

But what about the hero?

To be honest, Tang Yin couldn't find any faults with him, but she just felt that why the heroine Lin Yi would like him!Pity
Read the three-chapter novel of Unheard Huaming.

Tang Yin looked up at the ceiling
After thinking about it carefully, she didn't find anything wrong with this work.

The hero Song Ren may not have performed well enough, but what he did after meeting Lin Yi is not annoying.

The heroine Mei is really cute and charming to bursting.

The portrayal of the contradictions between the childhood partners and the hero Song Ren is also very real.

But it is.
"Not attractive enough! Xia Yan." Tang Yin paused and looked at Xia Yan.

"The rhythm is too slow. I don't know yet after the three chapters are over. What is the main line of your novel?"

Being in love doesn't feel like being in love at all.

Talk about friendship, but the plot does not go deep enough in this direction.

Why did the heroine Lin Yi appear in front of Song Ren, and why only Song Ren could see him.

What is Lin Yi's purpose?
As a reader, Tang Yin has no clue about these doubts.

"I know." Xia Yan already knew that Tang Yin might say such a thing.

He himself felt this way, let alone Tang Yin, a novel editor with a more critical vision.

"But...that's the pace of the novel. It's slow."

As soon as Xia Yan spoke, both Tang Yin and Song Lingyun looked at him.

"Very slow?" Tang Yin's expression was a little confused.

"This is... a novel that is competing for the serialization qualification of "Red Maple", one of the top periodicals in Southern Province. It is very slow? Since you know, why did you create this kind of novel?"

Serialized periodicals are not a place where creators can enjoy themselves freely.

To put it bluntly, the light novel industry is very competitive. At the serialization meeting, why did the editors in the editorial department rely on the plot of the novel Chapter 1 to decide whether the novel will be published in the journal of the publishing house.

That's because readers are just so patient.

Slow heating is not impossible, but first of all, if this novel wants to be serialized, it has to pass the serialization meeting.

Secondly, after the serialization in the journal, if the plot is too slow and leads to poor grades, the novel may be cut in half before the plot breaks out later on.

Tang Yin really couldn't understand Xia Yan, how could she make such a low-level mistake.

"Because...it's a pity."

Xia Yan actually doesn't know the plot behind this work, but he believes that no matter which world it is, fans of Two-dimensional works are definitely picky.

Internet trolls in the parallel world cannot be kinder than Longguo.

If this work can be so slow in the early stage, and can still have such a high rating and such a high playback volume in the parallel world, then it must have the quality of the work to match its achievements.

"It's a pity? What do you mean?" Tang Yin looked at Xia Yan.

"That is, I think it is a work that surpasses the journey of youth in all aspects in various senses. But if it is just because it is slow in the early stage, it will be abandoned, and it will be buried deep in my memory. What a pity .” Xia Yan said with a smile.

every aspect.
Journey Beyond Youth?

When Xia Yan said these words, both Tang Yin and Song Lingyun's ears perked up slightly.

Especially Song Lingyun, looking at the stack of unknown novel manuscripts in Tang Yin's hands, felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

So confident?
"It doesn't matter what you say about this kind of thing. If the creators are so accurate in judging their own works, then how can there be so many movies in the market that invest hundreds of millions and then lose money. Compared with Journey of Youth, this novel As for the quality, it doesn’t matter what you say, and what I say doesn’t matter, it’s up to the readers of Longguo’s novel circle to say.” Tang Yin immediately retorted with an example.

There are countless examples of well-known novelists whose new novels hit the street after they became famous.

Did they have self-confidence before the writing of their off-the-street novels?

That's for sure, if you are not confident, why do they create these hit works and put them on the market to embarrass themselves?Everyone must feel that they have written a top-notch novel!
But the market, the readers. Then teach them how to be human.

"I understand Tang Yin what you mean. So what I mean is. I think this work is a work that completely surpasses the journey of youth, as long as it can be serialized smoothly. Its achievements will exceed the journey of youth. Of course, this is just my opinion." Xia Yan said calmly, but with a confident tone.

Of course, he relied entirely on bragging about the content of this passage.

No way, you are not confident as a novel author, how can others be confident?

You have to pretend to be confident.

Otherwise, if he has a guilty conscience, others will think that there is something wrong with your novel creation attitude, and it may be a random fabrication, a novel written with a non-serious attitude, and used to amuse others.Otherwise, why do you have a guilty conscience and no confidence in the novel you have written with all your strength?
Perhaps with Tang Yin's serious personality, she might even choose to give up submitting the manuscript of an unheard novel to enter next week's serial meeting competition.

"I don't think it makes any sense for you, Tang Yin, to dwell on this issue now." Song Lingyun suddenly said.

"Although I haven't seen the manuscript of this novel, I'm not good at judging the plot. But the serialization meeting will be next week. You are now running out of time to send Xia Yan's new work back and ask him to create a new one."

"If you don't submit the manuscript of Xia Yan's work, Xia Yan's chances will be zero in the competition for the serial meeting next week. But submitting his work, anyway, it is not zero."

This is the end of Song Lingyun's words.

Tang Yin immediately understood what Song Lingyun meant.

Unless you are going to give up Xia Yan's work in this serial meeting, otherwise, Tang Yin has one and only one choice.

Submit this novel!

In the middle of the night, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun walked out of Tang Yin's community together.

The night wind was a bit chilly, Xia Yan looked at Song Lingyun's slightly clasped arms, and wanted to take off his coat to cover her.

But thinking of her character, Xia Yan paused, and took two more steps forward, blocking the direction of the wind.

"Why did you speak for me just now? If my work is missing from the serialization meeting, then you will also lose a competitor." Xia Yan asked suddenly.

The night wind blew in, and the corners of Song Lingyun's black school skirt fluttered, and her hair danced wildly.

Her fair and beautiful face was not shaken by the chill at this moment, but stared at Xia Yan.

"My goal is to defeat you head-on in the new work, not to win without a fight! As long as your novel is submitted to the serial meeting, the competition will begin. My work was selected, and your work, because of the previous plot I won the election because of slow development. Even if our two works get the serial quota together and can be serialized on Red Maple, as Tang Yin said, even if your novel develops slowly in the later stage, there is a high probability It will be because of insufficient popularity accumulation in the early stage that it will be unable to recover in the later stage. That is also my win."

"Also, even if I don't say those things, Tang Yin will understand these reasons and choose to submit your work."

"You really have a strong obsession with winning and losing!" Xia Yan paused after hearing this.

"I only have this kind of obsession with people and things that I am interested in. Not all people and things want to compete with them. I'm not sick." Tang Yin looked at a car driving on the street. Taxi, waving.

"However. As long as I win the competition with your new work this time, I can let go of this insignificant ambition." Before getting into the car, Song Lingyun looked back at Xia Yan.

Her side face is beautiful and delicate, her skin is white and smooth, and her eyes are extremely serious.

"Because, none of the people I surpassed have been able to come back. As long as they become my subordinates, they will be defeated for a lifetime."

The girl's words, with confidence, and then get into the taxi.

Xia Yan watched Song Lingyun take the leaving taxi.
For some reason, I feel joyful, a little happy.

"It's really interesting, it turned out to be such a person." Xia Yan stood for a long time and said to himself.
