At this time, the waiter also served dinner.

Cake and coffee for the two, Shiyu Kasumigaoka's own fruit salad, and Yoo Jingu's large plate of chicken chop rice.

He picked up the spoon and took a sip, just like what Shiyu of Kasumigaoka said, the taste is really good.

"Actually, after reading the first volume of "Metronome in Love", with the intuition of an author, I think you should have a new female character in the second volume, Shi Yu."

Jingu Yao was thinking about the problem while eating, and extended the topic to the creation of Shiyu of Kasumigaoka.

"Indeed, as a light novel, it cannot be treated as a traditional novel, nor as a pure youth love literature. Unlike Yaojun's "Love in the Sky", which is close to realism, "Love Metronome" should be closer to ' Anime or manga in the hearts of otaku's."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu elegantly picked up the fruit salad on the plate with a toothpick, opened her rosy cherry lips, revealing her white teeth, Jingu Yao could even see the cute Xiaoxiang in the slightly open cherry mouth. Tongue, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not a 'noble', but he is extremely polite and polite when he eats and speaks - except for Jingu Yao.

"The editor also suggested to me that a new female character 'True Wei' will appear in the second volume, to develop the plot in the conflict between love triangles and to attract more readers."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said softly.

She took out a stack of printed manuscript papers from her bag, "...Want to see it? The manuscript and outline settings of the second volume of "Metronome in Love"."

Jingu Yao was silent for a moment. He put the spoon on the dinner plate and frowned: "...Not in the name of the reader?"

He suddenly thought of what An Yilun said today. If he reads the original manuscript of the work in the name of a reader, it may affect the author's thoughts.

"Of course, it is the suggestion of the same creator."

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu pursed her lips, this woman is really smart, and she guessed what Jingu Yao meant at once.

"If that's the case, then of course you have to see it!"

She wiped her hands well with a napkin to prevent any greasy hands from staining her manuscripts. These small gestures may seem inconspicuous, but they always attract the attention of women who are more likely to pay attention to details.

Although it is only the original manuscript, the manuscript is also a bit thick. It is impossible for Jingu Yao to read it quickly. He just flipped through the outline, and after reading a random page of the original text, he nodded thoughtfully.

"I just read a page casually, and I can still feel the delicacy of your writing, Shiyu. To be honest, I didn't like this work at first, just like the current game is always in the name of [-] bans. Just as they can attract people's attention, the current light novels are only attracting people with more and more cute female characters. In fact, it has no content at all. Most of them are the same, using different female characters. Find a better illustrator to draw illustrations, rather than saying that it sells novels, it is better to say that it sells illustrator characters at all!"

Jingu Yao shook his head. A novel should be remembered for the plot and characters, but light novels are only remembered for the characters. The characters were not drawn with the author's brushstrokes, but entirely by illustrations. The first impression the teacher draws!

This is also the reason why light novels are popular, but they are looked down upon by traditional writers. It can be seen from the price of light novels that 500 yen per copy is really cheap in Japan.

Of course, if light novels become popular, the author does not earn these publishing fees, but the copyright fees earned. Whether it is changing anime, comics or peripherals, that is the big income.

"The selling point is pure daily emotions, without any supernatural factors, plus... I'm sorry, although it's inappropriate to say that, but I still have to say, plus the level of this illustrator is not very good, this is completely It goes against the current state of the light novel industry, if this book is not your work, Shi Yu, I don’t think I would have read it at all.”

Jingu Yao sighed and said with some regret: "...but I have to say, after reading it, I found out that other light novel writers sell paintings, while Shi Yu sells words, even if it is accompanied by this Garbage illustrations, the characters are only the male lead Nao and the female lead Sha Yujia. After I saw it, I was very moved. I believe that you will become a writer and writer in the future, not a so-called light novelist. ."

This is already the highest praise Jingu Yao has given to Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, and her work has gone beyond the scope of light novels and has the figure of a writer.

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu had put down the fruit salad in her hand at some point. She listened carefully to what Jingu Yao said. Jingu Yao was very sincere, and it was not a casual compliment. It was completely justified and well-founded. , especially the object of complimenting her is a teenager who has achieved success in the eyes of others and is called a "genius".

It was a touch of touch, as if I had found a confidant. There was an urge to tell me happily, to share all my grievances and complaints, all my dreams and pursuits with the people in front of me.

"Because I'm a rookie writer, it's impossible for Bunko to find those well-known illustrators for me."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu said calmly, although there is a little resentment, but it is not as hysterical as he imagined.As Jingu Yao said, what she 'betrayed' was the words and the soul, not the so-called 'illustration', otherwise if her novel was successful, should it be said that it was entirely the credit of the illustrator?

"That's it... Although it's not good to change the illustrator halfway, but if you need it, I can actually help you... No, no, let's forget it, it was fine when I read the first volume of "Metronome in Love", but after watching After reading the outline of the second volume, two character settings popped up in my mind unconsciously, if I were to draw it, I would definitely draw those two looks."

After saying half of what Jingu Yao said, he denied himself, and shook his head desperately under the curious eyes of Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

"Actually, the biggest disadvantage of your novel, Shi Yu, is the lack of publicity. Obviously, with such a good literary foundation, even if you don't need those so-called illustrations, you can still succeed. Good word of mouth is naturally spread by word of mouth, but in this society, public opinion And publicity is the most important thing!"

Jingu Yao ignored the chicken chop rice he ate halfway through, pushed it away, took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat, and continued to talk eloquently: "...As long as there is good publicity, more people will be encouraged. Knowing this novel, let them try it with the mentality of trying it out and reading it. I believe that anyone who has read this book will definitely be addicted to opium! Well, well, even though I am not considered a What a famous celebrity, but there are so many fans on Twitter anyway, and the traffic on your personal website is getting higher and higher, I will directly push your book Shiyu in the most conspicuous way to the top!"

Jingong Yao lowered his head and thought for a while, the more he thought about it, the more reliable he felt, he clapped his hands and decided.

"Hey?"

Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu was stunned for a moment, she stared blankly at Jingong Yao who seemed to have found a good way and was very happy, after a while, she said softly: "...How dare you trouble you, Yaojun. I But there is no money to pay for publicity, and the library will not spend too much for me, a rookie writer."

She said with a joking expression.

"How can you care about Shi Yu, you need publicity fees, if it weren't for Shi Yu, your novels are really good, and I wouldn't promote them casually. Wouldn't that be breaking my brand?"

Jingu Yao blinked at Shiyu of Kasumigaoka and said with a smile.

It is true that if you promote a bad work yourself, you will only make other people gossip that you have paid people to promote it, but this "Love Metronome" is absolutely fine. It is of high quality and suitable for both men and women. Your own fan base is the perfect reader for this novel!By recommending this novel, you can also gain popularity for yourself, which is a win-win result.

Jingu Yao's words made Kasumigaoka Shiyu laugh, she smiled very nicely, not that kind

The flowers trembled, but with an intoxicating comfort.

"But...I do have a request."

After hesitating for a while, Jingu Yao still spoke.

"Yao-jun please speak."

Seeing Jingu Yao's hesitation, Kasumigaoka Shiyu spoke very freely.

"Um...please do it with me!"

Jingu Yao looked serious, as if making a lifelong request.

"Wait...wait a minute!!"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu suddenly panicked when she heard Jingong Yao's words, her heart was beating like a deer, she waved her hands in panic, she was a little angry at his bold speech and wanted to sneer, but it was a Time was confused and didn't know what to say.
