I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"What's so great about this? Why do you like to praise others so much these days? Today is the school score test, and I have to take the test tomorrow." Gabriel asked slightly curiously, and then she took a can of coffee and drinks. After taking a sip, he talked about the school test with a troublesome expression.

"..."

When Li Yan was reminded like this, he was also a little conscious. He thought for a moment, and indeed felt that he had recently started to like this idiom, which is probably inseparable from a certain elementary school girl who is always shouting in the next door. .

"Now, Li, wasn't yesterday the deadline for your final day? Did you finish the novel on time?" Gabriel asked after thinking about it.

"The novel was finished last night, and it has already been printed by the editor. It will be published about Friday," Li Yan replied.

"is it……"

Gabriel looked at him quietly, and after a while of silence, she suddenly asked: "Then what are you doing here in a daze? Don't you have confidence in the rewritten seventh volume of the novel?"

"Uh, wait a minute... how did you tell?!" Li Yan was startled suddenly, looking at Gabriel in astonishment and asked.

Gabriel squinted at his horrified face, and said, "If you know that you have just finished writing a novel, and your current expression, no one can see what you are thinking in your heart. So, since writing It's over, why are you still thinking?"

Li Yan was stunned when he said this. After hesitating for a while, his haggard face was a little embarrassed, and he looked at the gray sky again, and said with a embarrassed smile: "After all... that volume. , And that novel, I wrote with a lot of hard work."

"I don't know whether the readers are willing to watch my style change and introduce more elements that I think are interesting. Although the editor told me that there is no problem, but... I am still a little worried."

Li Yan said to Gabriel silently. In fact, this kind of feeling seldom appeared before. After all, relying on the ability of the [editing system] to know the extent of the market's reaction early, it is like spoiling him the sales and results in advance. This time until the end, he insisted on judging on the basis of his professional standards for more than a year.

However, once he does not rely on the ability of the system, even if he is confident and a little frightened, the system has been taking care of him. For a long time, he has been constantly honed in the judgment of the editing system and finally mastered the A-level writing. Level, now I feel that I should be a teacher, but it is like an ignorant student who left home for the first time, and my heart is not at ease.

At the door of the apartment, the two were about to go back into the house.

Gabriel was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Li, in case, if something you rewrite actually reduces the sales of your novel, how would you deal with it?"

"..."

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment. He looked at Gabriel with a complicated expression. This topic was a bit sensitive, but after Li Yan thought for a while, he smiled.

"Then I will continue to write it down. There is only this I can do with all my strength. Next, the success or failure will be left to God's will. But anyway, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, even if my achievements and reputation are damaged, I I also hope to be able to truly complete this novel in the "Super Academy" series... After all, I really hope to give that novel a good ending."

He said quietly, the dark clouds in the sky in the distance are getting stronger and stronger. Tomorrow, the day when the seventh volume written by him with his intention to break through will be released, and the final results of his efforts will be announced.

Near June, the light novel market in Japan has been calm. There is no new dark horse in the light novel market in May, and a series of masterpieces have fallen into a "silent period". The only thing that gives fans who like to read light novels is somewhat comforting. What I was looking forward to was only the "Super Academy" series, which was originally planned to be closed for a year, and suddenly announced the news of the latest volume in early June.

After school in the evening, the students in the middle school, high school, and even university, after finishing a boring day of study, all have to talk about the seventh volume that is about to be serialized at this moment.

After wandering in the dark city of Tokyo, under the multi-day investigation and cooperation of dozens of policemen, after finally destroying a smuggling case, the Director of the National Police Agency and several male and female police officers sometimes talked about it when they closed their teams. On the release day of your favorite novel, the tense atmosphere was a little relaxed and happy.

The monsters in Hitoyoshi are idly holding day after day banquets. While drinking, while recounting the fall of mankind, they occasionally treat the sale day as banquet gossip, and they are all looking forward to the next volume while they are drunk. What kind of weird story is he telling?

Under the pattering rainy day, in the place called Dusk Mountain, on the side of the wet road, the black-haired girl wearing a hat walking on the road, occasionally encounters a situation where resentment has not appeared for a while, quietly Turning the page, I was taken aback for a moment, saw the sign of [Volume VI.fin], and it was the first time I had read it completely.

...

Whether humans, monsters, even angels and demons, they have a certain curiosity about the world they live in. Novels are the carrier products produced based on the curiosity of intelligent life about the world. They satisfy the needs of life. After that, they seem to be looking forward to it. There is a story in the world that attracts them to fantasize and make up for their inner desire for knowledge of the world.

Everything is calm and boring. It seems that someone needs to use a hammer to break this too quiet world into pieces...

Finally, the time that people are looking forward to has finally arrived.

It happened on June 3rd. The novelist Uesugiyan, who often delayed the release date, did not break his appointment for an unprecedented time. Instead, he fulfilled his promise to the readers to put on the shelves on time. Tokyo received the first batch from the printing factory late on Thursday night. The seventh volume of novels that came out was officially on sale on the 3rd day as scheduled.

On the first day, the readers who purchased were still in an orderly manner. The most loyal fans waited at the door and queued to the bookstore to purchase the hard-won volume seven. It was not the same as the first few volumes of "Super Academy" on the release date. What's the difference between the flow of people and the sales volume did not deviate from normal results.

But the next day, things were a little different...

In the early morning of the next day, it was a little rainy. The bookstore staff originally thought that this kind of weather would have a serious impact on today's sales, but when they opened the front door, it was still dark. Under the sky, I saw a densely packed doorway, gathering more than three times as many book fans as yesterday, and there was a long queue of exaggerated purchases. I don’t know how long it has been waiting. The scene is like a carnival, and the voices suddenly boiled like a boil. It’s like boiling water, they are holding umbrellas one after another, and they start to commotion one after another. It’s just such a scene that suddenly stepped into the eyes of the people who opened the door for business...

It went beyond the expectations of the editors of Sanhe Library and the expectations of the bookstore managers who did not know the development trend of the book plot. Among the thousands of books sold on the first day, it was like opening a Pandora's box. Generally, it directly detonated the major light novel forums, and the seventh volume of "Super Academy" is almost an unexpected gift for the readers of light novels.

"Super Academy" broke the story in the academy, and directly began to comprehensively define the story and worldview. It skillfully uncovered and enriched many inadvertent foreshadowings and power systems in the first six volumes, as well as many well-designed ones. Characters of good and evil have appeared in the story. The popular character Xin Heng Ning Ning, a popular character that people pay attention to, is even more eye-catching. It vividly reveals the world outside the academy that readers have been speculating in front of everyone. Suddenly, Volume 7 Just like a stunning turning point, the battle story and plot are pushed to a higher level of appreciation, laying a more exciting story follow-up.

In the one-week sales period, the performance of Volume Seven of "Super Academy" was once close to the best one-week sales of "Fantasy Demon Sword" by Chishou Village. Soon, the good news of "Super Academy" followed one after another. In the coming, the third season of animation decided to produce, and based on the sales performance and future potential of the seven volumes, Sanhe Library finally decided to award the semi-annual "Sanhe Novel Library Novel Awards" to Uesugi, perhaps even the original author did not expect it. However, he has accumulated for a long time and boldly tried to write the transition and improvement, not only won him the "Sanhe Fiction Library Novel Awards" certificate and 2 million yen award, which was reported by magazines. And because of more exciting settings and combat performance, as well as previous good reviews, the industry has generally begun to use "ghosts" to describe this rising writer. It is even rumored to have the strength to impact the November [This light novel is really amazing] option.

In June, just ten days later, as if suddenly being favored by the goddess of luck, Li Yan was a little stunned by this sudden honor and success. A week ago, he was just relieved that the sales were normal. , But who knows that a week later, he not only embraced the previous sales, but also further enhanced the status of the industry.

As a result, when the novel agency cooperating with Sanhe Library interviewed Uesugiyan, there was such an award-winning speech.

——[Magazine reporter: Mr. Uesugi, we all know that you have recently won the "Sanhe Novel Library Novel Awards" at Sanhe Library Company, and a bonus of 2 million yuan. The seventh volume listed on June 3 is generally rated very well. Gao, I am sure that "Super Academy War-Stormy Continent" will continue to be serialized in seven volumes. Now that you have completed your recent work, do you have any plans to use the 2 million bonus? 】

——[Ueshan Yan: I plan to use the money to learn to drive. 】

As a result, no one could have expected that the light novel author who has been animated for two quarters has no money to learn to drive. On the contrary, this sentence was somehow compiled into a popular learner's stalk on the Internet.

※※※

In mid-June, after hard work and affirmation, although the readers of forums and Twitter still expressed their enthusiasm for the seventh volume, and continued to comment on Uesugiyan’s reminders, for the author and readers, after the surprise, It is at peace.

After taking a good rest for half a month, Li Yan finally recovered completely after a long rest. He studied quietly at the University of Tokyo. In his own life, he still lives a simple and indifferent daily life with his descendants and friends.

During this period of time, many friends have sent congratulatory messages. Of course, Ying Lili and Kasumigaoka Shiyu, including Qianshou Village Zheng, Shitong Guoguang and others also congratulated Li Yan for the results of this period of hard work. Li Yan understands very well that the honor is obtained through the efforts of him and his partners. Every time I think about it, I get goose bumps. After all, the risk factor is too high. What I can do at present is to continue to rethink the new seven volumes in my creation. Write it down well.

However, Li Yan, who was planning to take the opportunity to have a good rest, suddenly received a call from Eiri Sawamura in his leisurely life.

[Cough cough cough...]

As soon as Li Yan received the call, he heard Ying Lili coughing.

"...Have you caught a cold, Ying Lili?" Li Yan asked curiously.

[Ah...you heard it, the day before yesterday, I didn't know why, I caught a cold, and now my head is dizzy. 】

Ying Lili coughed a few times and said to Li Yan, her voice sounded like she was still wearing a mask, and it sounded a little fuzzy.

Since Li Yan got to know Yinglili, he knew that Yinglili had at least five colds in the past year and a half. It should be said that Yinglili's immunity is a bit worrying.

"Why do you always catch a cold, so don't always drink carbonated drinks..." Li Yan said while sitting on the desk.

[Hahahaha, who wants you to take care of it? Well, you should have nothing more than class now, right? 】

Ying Lili suddenly became annoyed in her voice. When she was painting, she always drank coffee, Coke and other cold or hot drinks, but drinking too much cold drinks in summer can easily cause a cold. Li Yan has always been persuaded by Li Yan, and then her voice calmed down and asked.

"It's true, what's the matter?" Li Yan asked vigilantly with an ominous premonition in his heart.

[The reason for my cold, I always feel that it was caused by a certain author who suddenly rewritten my illustrations after I spent a month drawing the illustrations, and made me stay up late for three consecutive days. You understand, Otaku Li , You are responsible for my cold, do you know? 】

Sure enough, the tone on the other side of the phone became cold, and he said to Li Yan in a threatening tone.

"..."

Li Yan squinted his eyes, he knew he was going to be soaked in the last holiday, but Ying Lili's words were somewhat reasonable. He sighed helplessly and asked, "So, what are you going to do for you?"
