Chapter 73 Wonder and Curiosity (please subscribe for the third update)

However, Iura Hide, who was praised, couldn't help but have a row of black lines on his forehead.

Although "April" was adapted by him.

But even Naoji Shinkawa, the author of the original manga, is still a man!

And that guy is also an artistic and greasy guy!

In addition, the script writer in charge of the animation, Takao Yoshioka, is also a man!

"Okay, I apologize again."

Kagurazaka Iris apologized again with a smile, and then asked impatiently: "How many words did you design for that work, and when will it be completed?"

"The word count is probably between 22 and 24 words. If everything goes well, I can finish it all by the end of next week."

Before he finished speaking, Kasumigaoka Shiyu on the side almost spit out the coffee he just drank in his mouth.

"What!?"

"Write 22 to 24 words by next weekend?"

"You've just written 50,000 words now, right?"

As editors, Kagurazaka Iris and Machida Enko also had shocked expressions on their faces, obviously frightened by Iura Hide's amazing speed.

Because today is already Friday afternoon, and by the end of next week, I will only have nine days to write, and I will write 17 to 19 words in nine days! ?

Is this a tentacle monster?

Iura Hide shrugged. He originally wanted to say, 9 words in 19 days, words in one day, doesn’t that mean you have the skills?

However, in order to avoid being beaten, he decided to keep a low profile.

"I have already conceived all the plot and even details, I just need to write it out."

"But you seem to be still a student now. Do you need to go to school?"

"So now I sleep at school during the day and go back and write all night at night."

"."

"From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., it's a full eight hours. Calculating, I only need to write an average of 8 words per hour."

"!!! Is it still possible to calculate like this!?"

At this time, even Kasumigaoka Shiyu's expression couldn't hold back.

Although this is true from a mathematical point of view, who the hell can write for eight hours every day? ?

Is this something that humans can do?

And as a student, would the teacher agree to sleeping in class every day?

Kasumigaoka Shiyu clenched her fists subconsciously, and her breathing became rapid.

But as an editor, I quickly came to my senses after seeing a lot of weird Kagurazaka Iris and Machida Enoko.

"Well, let's just say you can finish it all by next weekend."

"If it's 22 words, it can be divided into three volumes, each volume is about 75000 words."

"Of course, this also depends on the specific plot. You should understand what's out of context, right?"

Jingura Xiu nodded, of course he understood the fragmentation and so on.

In fact, he had already considered several out-of-context plans before coming here.

For example, according to Kagurazaka Iris, it is divided into three volumes, with each volume having about 75000 words. Then his first volume can end when Arima Kousei and Kaoru perform on stage, and the performance is interrupted for the first time.

If you are more cruel, you can stop it. After the performance, Xiaoxun suddenly fainted here.

It’s guaranteed to leave those readers wanting more.

"Okay, you just have to figure it out. The next step is to sign the contract."

Maybe it's because of Nikaido Yuri's relationship, or maybe he really likes "April" and Hide Iura who can write "April".

Not only did Kagurazaka Iris not interfere with his writing in any way, but the contract conditions he gave also completely exceeded the standards for a new light novel writer.

Although he is not at the level of the top light novel writers, he is comparable to those veteran light novel writers who have written two or three volumes with sales exceeding 15 each.

"Sorry, although I am very optimistic about your "April", after all, you are a newcomer, and this contract is already the largest contract I can get for you. But I can guarantee that compared to other publishing houses, I The contract that was offered was absolutely the best.”

Seeing Iura Hide's curiosity, Kagurazaka Iris also specially introduced to him the grading standards of light novel writers in the world, as well as the numerical changes that are reflected in the proportion of copyright income. Generally speaking, newcomers, as well as veteran authors with sales of less than 8 single books and volumes, can be regarded as the lowest level of light novel writers, and their copyrights are also the lowest %.

If a single volume sells for 1000 yen, they can only get 80 yen for each copy sold.

It seems low, but if you can update one volume steadily every month, you can earn 80 a month, which is higher than the income of many white-collar graduates from prestigious universities.

If you have written a work that sells more than 1 single volumes but less than 5, then the profit ratio of the next contract can be increased to 10%.

Light novel writers of this level are considered the backbone of the light novel world.

If you have written a work that sells more than 5 single volumes but less than 10, then the revenue ratio of the next contract can be increased to 12%.

A light novel writer of this level is already well-known enough to hold offline book signings.

Although "Metronome of Love" by Kasumigaoka Shiha was somewhat unknown at the beginning, only one volume has been published so far, with sales of just over 1.

But after the fifth volume was released, the cumulative sales eventually reached 50 volumes, and the average volume sales reached 10 volumes.

At that time, she was a light novel writer at this level.

Further up, the average sales volume is 10 to 15, and the revenue ratio is 15%, which is the contract Iura Hide currently has.

There are actually no more than a hundred light novel writers of this level currently active in the light novel world.

As for the light novel writers who have average sales of between 15 and 30 volumes, they are the so-called best-selling light novel writers.

The revenue ratio suddenly increased to 20%, and each of them was the trump card of major publishing houses.

There are currently less than 20 people active in the light novel world.

As for those whose average sales volume exceeds 30, they are really great, and their revenue ratio directly increases to 25%.

Currently, there are only five people active in the entire light novel world.

At the same time, greatness is not fixed. Even if you have written a work with an average volume sales of more than 30, if the next work has an average volume sales of less than 15, you will be kicked off the throne and return to the best-seller list. The level of a light novel writer.

"The comic version of "April" in the previous life had a total of 11 volumes, with a total sales volume of about 400 million volumes, and an average volume sales volume of 36."

"The sales volume of light novels is usually much lower than that of comics, but my "April" is written according to the anime version, and the plot is at least 20% optimized compared to the comics."

"Calculating, the average sales volume should be over 20, right?"

"I haven't noticed it before, but now it seems that it is really difficult for the average volume sales to exceed 30."

"If I remember correctly, even for "Forbidden", which has a total sales volume of 1600 million volumes, the average volume sales are actually only 42."

"Neon's "Sword Art Online" has sold more than 1700 million volumes in total, but its average volume sales are only over 60."

"The only one that can sell more than one million copies per volume is the "Haruhi Suzumiya Series"."

"Unlike manga like "Demon Slayer", "One Piece", and "Jutsu Kaisen", the average sales volume of each volume is in the millions."

"Sure enough, cartoonists make more money!"

Iura Hide thought to himself, completely unaware of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's shocked and envious look not far away.

She was also a newcomer, so she only signed a standard newcomer contract, and she had even submitted her novel to more than one editor. In the end, only Machida Enko took a liking to her novel.

As for Iura Hide, he signed a Level 4 contract, which is second only to the best-selling light novel writer. His works are even considered by Kagurazaka Iris to have the potential to become best-selling light novels.

To be honest, she felt as if she had eaten a big fresh lemon at this moment. She had never felt so sour since she was a child.

She doesn't really care about how much money she makes or whether she can have the title of 'best-selling light novel author'.

But she really didn't expect that there was such a big gap between the works.

After all, she has been ranked first in her grade in academic performance since she was a child, and she also holds the title of 'Genius Literary Girl'!

How could it be possible that the works he wrote were inferior to those of Hide Iura, a male high school student?

What is this "April" about?

Can a high school boy really write a romance novel that would amaze even the best editors in the industry?

How on earth did he do it?

These questions kept swirling in Kasumigaoka Shiu's head, making her unconsciously become extremely curious about Iura Hide!
