I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

At ten o'clock in the morning, after taking the subway for about twenty-five minutes, Eiri finally came to the downstairs of the Sanwa Bunko Company.

"Finally arrived in time. I thought that I would get up too late and I would miss the time. Finally, I arrived at the Wenku Company downstairs half an hour before the appointment."

Eiri breathed a sigh of relief, which was why she had to move out anyway and live around Sanwa Bunko.

Although Sanwa Bunko is not the number one light novel company in Japan, it is the fastest growing company, and it has a tendency to surpass Kadokawa Bunko. , After being excavated by Sanhe Library, she also hopes that she can become a first-line illustrator in Sanhe Library.

However, Sanhe Library has very high requirements on the quality of illustrations. For the illustrations of important works, illustrators are required to be present to deliver the illustrations directly. After discussing and analyzing with the responsible editor at any time, final revisions are made to the illustrations before they are officially arranged for novel illustrations. in the page.

The original artist who illustrated the first-line author must be present and make revisions in the company in person. This is the only rule.Perhaps, such a rigorous attitude of cooperation is also the secret to the rapid rise of Sanhe.

"Really, an email was suddenly sent to me yesterday morning, asking me to finish the last painting in one day, and I stayed up until three o'clock in the evening to finish it. Uesugi-sensei's work is either very slow to update, then in an instant. It's such a tough challenge to be his illustrator."

Ying Lili was dissatisfied. If she really had the opportunity to meet that writer, she had to ask him to send her the character and plot settings in advance.

When I got to the company floor of Sanhe Bunko, I just entered the office area, I saw the staff of [-] people in full swing, whether the documents were dropped and scattered in the sky.

Ying Lili was frightened, what happened, and suddenly each of them worked like a chicken blood.

"Kashiwagi-sensei, you're here, please come to the office with me." Kagurazaka Ayame walked out from the editorial department and smiled when she saw Eri Ry.

"Yes." Iniri said after a moment of silence.

Not only the clerical department outside, but even the editorial department inside, seems to be busy preparing for something, meeting, meeting, work, and basically no one seems to be leisurely.

"Editor Kagurazaka, does the company have any major events?" Eiri asked curiously.

"Yes, it hasn't been so lively for a long time."

Kagurazaka Ayame, who was walking in front, smiled and said nothing in the corridor.

When entering the office, Kagurazaka Ayame poured coffee for Inri Riri and sat opposite her.

"Kashiwagi-sensei, I have already seen the original picture you sent me." Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile.

"Yes, where there is still a need for revision, you can say it anyway, I will do my best to complete the revised version this morning." Ying Lili said with serious eyes.

Kagurazaka Ayame was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, I have always been quite satisfied with your work. After all, as an editor, I have always felt that your painting style and artistic conception are more in line with "Super Power Academy War", but recently I also found a problem, this is not your fault, nor Uesugi-sensei's fault, but a serious misjudgment in my work as an editor."

"Hey, misjudgment... Kagurazaka editor, although I only worked with you for a relatively short period of time, I know your work ability, otherwise Sanwa Bunko would not have entrusted so many excellent writers to you, Isn't it?" Ying Lili was slightly startled, and then asked inexplicably.

Kagurazaka Ayame said: "No, this is indeed my mistake, and I apologize to you. I have always adhered to the principle of commercialization, and the illustrations of light novels must be beautiful and generous. The best choice for me to choose the picture. However, recently, Mr. Uesugi found me and told me that Miss Kashiwagi, your illustration is very different from his work style, I have been researching recently, and I have confirmed my previous judgment. question."

Ying Lili's face was ugly, and she asked, "I don't understand. Isn't the evaluation after publication very good, why..."

"Well, it's very good. After all, Miss Kashiwagi is a heavyweight painter in our company's eyes. We firmly believe this. But light novels have always continued the traditional illustration ideas, and most of them tend to be urban, magical, and love themes. Passionate Department of novels, especially works written by Mr. Uesugi Yan, our company is the first time responsible for promotion... The problem caused by lack of experience is: too static, beautiful illustrations, but delays the reading sense of hot-blooded novels. ' explained Kagurazaka Ayame.

Yingli Li immediately understood that it was indeed the case. It seems that most of the illustrations in "Super City Academy" are really still paintings, and dynamic paintings, especially the wonderful fighting illustrations, are not currently arranged.

A novel with a bloody style, of course, needs wonderful illustrations of fierce fighting.

Kagurazaka Ayame looked at Ying Lili, she calculated in her mind the steps to propose a replacement plan, and asked: "So, after our editorial department has comprehensively discussed, I hope you can go to illustrate other writers' works. At present, Three promising urban romance works..."

"Wait a moment!"

Iniri suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped Kagurazaka Ayame's suggestion.

With a sense of loss and unwillingness, she said to Kagurazaka Ayame: "Editor Kagurazaka, although I know that my painting style and painting skills are not mature enough, and there are mistakes in the design ideas of the work, but... You can let me communicate with Uesugi-sensei, I want to continue to complete his illustrations for the fourth volume, and even the follow-up stories, I want to continue to cooperate."

"...Kashiwagi-sensei, do you really intend to continue to cooperate?" Kagurazaka Iris looked at her in surprise and asked.

Ying Lili nodded and said, "Although I am only a first-year student, I have always been proud of my painting, and my family has also silently supported my chosen career. The illustration work that I secretly came out to do with all my strength is a In order to add the most perfect illustrations to this work, instead of choosing to back down."

"..." Kagurazaka Ayame looked at Eri Riri with a firm expression. After thinking for a while, she took out a piece of paper and wrote a mailbox.

"Okay, I understand. I won't arrange for a new illustrator to come over for the time being, but all the illustrations in the fourth volume have to be replaced, which is a lot of work. Mr. Kashiwagi, our company will prepare the relevant compensation, but I will give you the time. You have to give me a new illustration by next Wednesday, okay?"

Kagurazaka Iris asked with a faint smile.

"Forget the compensation, I don't want to take it, but the time is... next Wednesday... Can't you give me more time?" Yingri asked in surprise.

"No, even I can't win, you can see, the company is now mobilizing all staff to work overtime, and all departments are busy, we will publish ten new works on Monday next week, two of which are expected to be ten new works. The popular works that sold [-] copies, the fifth volume of "Love Metronome", and the fourth volume of "Super City Academy", sold on the same day and the same minute."

Kagurazaka Ayame shook his head, and his face gradually became more serious.

"..." Ying Lili didn't quite understand it at first, but gradually, she understood something and asked, "What is it?"

"Uesugi Yan and Kasumi Shizi, they are going to decide the winner in terms of sales in the next week. We Sanhe Bunko have been hyping this explosive event since noon yesterday."

Kagurazaka Ayame blinked at Ying Riri, revealing a wicked smile.

……

Room 405 of an apartment in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Under Li Yan's stern supervision from the side, even the fallen angel Gabriel had no choice but to give in. She gave up two hours to read the fourth volume of almost [-] words, and then used it again. After an hour of marking the location and comments for revisions, Li Yan left with satisfaction.

"This guy directly wasted three hours of Miss Ben's precious time."

Gabriel lay helplessly and tiredly on the table, talking to herself.

She looked at the wardrobe and asked, "Wennedy, how long are you going to hide in there, that idiot has already left."

"Eh?!"

Suddenly, Vinette in the closet made a surprised sound. She hesitated for a while before pushing the closet away, and said with a wry smile, "Well, you actually know I'm hiding there."

"Otherwise, the corners of your clothes are always tucked outside, and you are the one who can have the key to enter my room." Gabriel narrowed his eyes and said.
