I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"Yeah, that's it, don't always grieve."

Kagurazaka Ayame smiled and said, she turned her head to look at the back of the young man with wet hair, but sitting on the computer side desperately writing novels, and said: "However, it is Li Jun who found you in the heavy rain. Ah, it really feels very similar to the last experience."

"Huh?" Shiina Mashiro and Aoyama Nanami were taken aback, looking at Kagurazaka Iris in puzzlement.

"Eh, don't you know? Hee hee, although there is some gossip, this is also the glorious history of Uesugi-sensei. Uesugi-sensei used to have a fever and rushed out to rescue his younger generation in rainy weather. At first he thought It was a very dangerous situation, but after the past, it was discovered that the younger generation was unable to get down because of climbing up a tree to save the cat, and was caught in rainy weather. As a result, he ran out with a fever of 39 degrees, and was sent back at 39.5 degrees, and took three or four breaks. It only recovered after a few days, and Qingshan's situation was somewhat similar this time."

Kagurazaka Acorus touched his chin with his finger, while recounting as he recounted, then he smiled and looked at Qikai Aoyama who was sleeping in the living room of Room 505 in Li Yan at the moment.

On rainy days, Li Yan invited Qingshan Qihai to help him complete the seventh volume of "Super Academy War". In the end, she just let her sleep in the living room and watch how he writes novels while resting. .

Therefore, Qikai Aoyama has no idea what kind of assistance method this one is.

"It's the same this time. Ms. Shiina mentioned on the phone that Aoyama had a high fever and went out alone, and the weather was raining. This way, people with a high fever can get caught in the rain. Things can be big or small, so she didn't anticipate any possibility. Next, he’d better find you in Qingshan first. Now, take a good rest and feel a little bit. Uesugi-sensei is going to tell you something.

Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile.

"Really... I'm sorry, Senior Li, and Miss Kagurazaka." Qikai Aoyama closed her eyes and whispered.

She also understood that it seemed that it was because of her own rashness that Li Yan's originally very urgent time was reduced, which caused the current senior to work desperately, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense.

"You're not wrong, after all, you are still a high school student, and it is reasonable to feel that your dreams are frustrated. By the way, aren't you also a fan of Uesugi-sensei? That novel is of high quality..."

Kagurazaka Ayame sighed, as if remembering that it was worrying that she hadn’t gotten the full manuscript until now. However, she looked at Li Yan’s back again and smiled and said, “Although everyone has seen more than a dozen It's just a light novel with a million characters, but in fact, to write an interesting story, he also created it from countless scraps. What everyone sees is his successful side. I hope Miss Qingshan will return There is Miss Shiina in this rare opportunity, let's take a look at Li Yan's efforts."

"..."

Shiina Mashiro and Aoyama Nanami listened quietly to Kagurazaka Ayame's words. They were speechless, especially Shiina Mashiro, who lowered their heads a little when they understood their powerlessness and dependence.

"Then, I'll go back first, Uesugi-sensei, I'm going back now."

Kagurazaka Iris stood up, and after saying goodbye to Aoyama Nanami and Shiina Masashi, he whispered and said goodbye to Li Yan who was busy.

"..."

As a result, in front of Kagurazaka Acorus, Li Yan didn't feel any movement at all, and didn't seem to hear it at all. This made her feel a little relieved. It seemed that he was really in the writing state.

After coming out of 505's bachelor's apartment, Kagurazaka Ayame raised his head and looked at the gray rainy day, quietly thinking about the words Li Yan had talked with her before.

An hour ago, the group of people who returned to the apartment building. While Qingshan Qihai was still changing his clothes, Li Yan showed her the writing plan this time. During the next writing time, let the high fever Qingshan Qihai watch He finished the seventh volume.

At first, Kagurazaka Ayame didn't quite understand why Li Yan wanted to do this, but the following words surprised Kagurazaka Ayame a little.

——[Qingshan’s incident reminds me of my past...Perhaps after the situation at home has improved recently, I became a little lazy and settled with the status quo. As a result, the seventh volume was still quite satisfactory. Although it will not lead to the failure of the work, if the story is not written that is more eye-catching and surprising, the work will eventually start to decline before the end, but thanks to Qingshan this time, I I understand that I have to get active, do a good job and show her, my mentality is completely restored, about three to five in the morning, I think I can finish writing... the new development will definitely be better than the original volume. Even more exciting. 】

Li Yan said to Kagurazaka Acorus.

Because of Aoyama Seven Seas, Li Yan's inspiration seemed to have been stimulated to half, and he was in a perfect state of excitement, which made Kagurazaka Ayame a little pleasantly surprised. She understood that after finding the state, writing was a multiplier task.

However, she still didn't quite understand why Li Yan wanted Qingshan Qihai to watch him stay up late to finish the seventh volume.

——【……I think there is only one thing I can do now, which is to work hard to complete the difficult work in my hands. 】

——【If Qing Shan sees me from behind, she should be able to understand something. 】

——【I can only help them once, maybe twice. In the following days, they will still have to go on their own. Qingshan’s personality is a bit like me, isn’t it, such a reckless figure who wants to catch, sometimes ends up in failure most of the time, but I believe that they, those people are very good in character, and I respect and look forward to it. People, gentle people always make people nostalgic, don’t they? I am also looking forward to the future of Qingshan. 】

Li Yan was standing wet in the corridor, with a smile on his face, talking about his thoughts to Kagurazaka Ayame.

After Kagurazaka Ayame recalled what happened before, she thought with a bit of distress: "This guy's mental realm is a bit too advanced, is he really only 18 years old?"

She stood in the corridor thoughtfully, then exhaled, looked at her watch, and smiled and thought: "Don't care about this for now, and receive the 70,000-character draft at 8 o'clock in the evening, 12 o'clock. Just accept the 70,000-character manuscript, um, in this state, it is not a problem to write 70 or 80,000 words in one night. I also look forward to your performance, old thief Uesugi."

※※※

In the living room of Room 505, Li Yan at this moment was facing a dire situation.

He is in perfect condition, but he has forgotten that the editor does not compromise the deadline so easily with the author.

Kagurazaka Ayame agreed with his arrangement with a smile, but in terms of time, he forcibly moved his estimate of 3 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the evening. She also had reasons why the editorial department could not give in. , That is the review work of the novel, the typesetting work, the judging report submitted to the editor-in-chief, etc., that is, after the cumbersome and complicated publishing procedures of the Japanese publishing house, the fastest time is on Friday The first batch of books were printed and sent to the major bookstores that had already been ordered.

"Damn it, even if I am confident in my current writing state, no matter how strong I am, I can't finish writing everything in the early hours of the morning."

Li Yan's ten fingers all hit the infinite speed to write the novel, while complaining, he rushed to write desperately.

However, he didn't regret it. Even if it caused trouble to Sawamura Eriri, Kagurazaka Ayame and the entire Sanwa Bunko, he still had the intention to gamble.

In the light novel market in Japan, the pressure of competition is not inferior to the profession of voice actors. There are hundreds of thousands of new light novels selected to be published every year, but most of them are after the first volume was published, and there is no news afterwards, not to mention how many people fell on the threshold before publication. before.

However, even works like Li Yan and Teacher Xia Shizi that have won the ranks of first-line popular authors are often under great pressure. If the first volume of the work is written at the beginning, it does not mean that it will continue to be like this in the future. If the content of the first to fifth volumes is maintained well, it will not be a big problem, but with the accumulation of word count and repeated use of expressive techniques, even if the quality of writing does not decrease, it is likely to be Lead to a decline in sales.

This phenomenon is also a point that Li Yan is wary of. Although book fans still have great expectations for his books at this moment, the next seventh volume, if he and the novel do not choose to break through, it is probably the completion of the work. It will really start to go downhill.

Therefore, in this stormy sea, most of the works will begin to be hit by the market before the fifth volume. For example, the first work of Shiyu Kasumigaoka, the sales plummeted in the fourth volume. Although there are some reasons for this, but There are no new highlights in the content, which is also an important reason for the decrease in sales.

Li Yan's works are a bit more special. After all, they belong to the genre of light novels that are more difficult to write. They are naturally more resistant to market storms. Although novels are amusement, they have connotations that touch the readers’ hearts. It is always better to retain readers than a novel that simply plays with the form, but it will also encounter tests or even break through the critical period of oneself. After Li Yan watched his Twitter feedback worse and worse, his subconscious was also aware of this, and he began to feel a little bit unable to write about it in a subtle way.

Therefore, going forward is still going back step by step, a multiple-choice question that Li Yan realized after talking with Sayuri Sawamura.

...

"Cough cough cough..."

In a daze, Aoyama Qihai, who had awakened from her sleep, opened her eyes. She realized that the time seemed to have entered the night, and it was pitch black outside the window, but the sound of rain was still pattering.

While suffering from the consequences of his own bravery, Qingshan Qihai discovered Li Yan's back, almost what it was like before he fell asleep. After waking up, that figure remained unchanged at all.

The back figure remained motionless, but the tense and high-pressure atmosphere seemed to be burning as a whole, and the concentration and earnest mentality did not disappear at all after a few hours.

"..." I don't know why, Qingshan Qihai looked in his eyes, and his mind was suddenly shocked.

This person turned out to be the author of the light novel "Super Academy War". When she heard Li Yan's self-reported pseudonym on a rainy day, she was immediately stunned, looking at him in disbelief.

No wonder Shiina really admires him so much.

Because, whether she is Shiina or Shiina, aren’t they all fans of his works?

However, she immediately became depressed. Before Li Yan had said that she was an ordinary person, she was a little bit disbelieved. Are people who can write such powerful light novels really qualified to call themselves "ordinary people"?

"However, you can clearly see the scene where the legendary Uesugi Yan is writing the seventh volume, and he fell asleep unsuspectingly... Sure enough, my luck is still too bad..." Qing Shan Qihai thought in frustration.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qihai coughed again. She raised her head again and continued to look at Li Yan, but there was still no movement. She was a little worried about whether Li Yan's body could really stand it for such a long time focusing on writing.

"That, Senior Li..."

Qing Shan Qihai called Li Yan in a low voice.

However, after a long time, Li Yan did not see any reaction.
