I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

sassy sassy...

It was raining heavily outside, and even Kagurazaka Ayame, who had been busy with work, was attracted. She walked to the window of her office, opened the blinds, and saw the gray rain.

"It's raining so much." Kagurazaka Ayame said to himself.

Summer is coming, and the climate will change, just like a girl's mind, the sun is still shining an hour ago, and it is like this an hour later.

The fifth volume of Xia Shizi's "Metronome in Love" has sold out. So far, it has only reached 11653 copies. It should be said that it is the worst sales result among first-line writers.

Kagurazaka Ayame thought quietly: "Xia Shizi, can you survive this test?"

After all, based on her professional knowledge and experience, Kagurazaka Ayame had already determined that the fifth volume of "Love Metronome" would repeat the same mistakes. When the first volume started to write as a novice, Kasumi Shiko simply put her fantasy romance into it. In the story, although the writing is very amazing and the plot is interesting, it ignores the operational requirements of the market, that is, the plot is too bland and the characters lack mature cuteness, so after encountering the cold sales results, let her and the previous The editor has no intention of reprinting.

Then, Kagurazaka Ayame carefully read Xia Shizi's first book, chose to keep it, took a huge risk, and began to become the responsible editor of Xia Shizi, and took the initiative to retain Xia Shizi to continue to stay in Sanhe After the library, responsible for the review and release of the next novel series.

As a result, it really lived up to her expectations. The second volume of Xia Shizi began to take a turn for the better. The story became more and more exciting. When the fourth volume was released, the sales totaled 42 copies. A roll of hot sale.

Therefore, she and Xia Shizi have experienced many storms together, and they can be regarded as editors and authors who trust each other.

Suddenly, Kagurazaka's phone rang.

"Ok?"

Kagurazaka Ayame was taken aback for a moment. The caller ID on his mobile phone turned out to be a call from illustrator Kashiwagi Eiri.

"Hey, Kashiwagi-sensei, why are you free to call me?" Kagurazaka Iris asked with a smile.

——【You can still laugh... Miss Kagurazaka. 】

Eiri asked with a sigh.

Kagurazaka Iris asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

——[I have already heard about Kasumi Shizi, the sales volume of the fifth volume of her latest work seems to be only 5 copies... This should be her worst result since her debut. 】

"Well, that's the way it is now... about the sales, did Uesugi-sensei tell you?" Kagurazaka Ayame thought for a moment and asked.

Eiri's voice suddenly hesitated.

——[After all... After all, we are partners, isn’t it natural to know about sales? 】

Yingli said hesitantly that she was worried that these sales involved company secrets, and Li Yan disclosed it to her.

"Don't worry, just ask casually, it doesn't involve company secrets, and this information will be published on the website soon. And you know it's quite reasonable, and it's not someone outside the company, I'm just curious when you will contact Uesugi-sensei is only so close." Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile.

Ying Riri's side immediately fell silent, and soon Ying Riri hurriedly explained.

——[We are partners after all. We had good communication about the illustration last time, so of course we have a good relationship. 】

"That's good, I can rest assured. Teacher Shangshan's novel and your illustrations are really wonderful collaborations. Such a result is expected." Kagurazaka Ayame said happily.

However, Ying Lili still asked with doubts: [Where's Xia Shizi? 】

"...Xia Shizi's sales volume, long before it was put on the shelves, was also within my expectations." Kagurazaka Ayame said after thinking for a while.

-【Then why?Why do you still deliberately cause a sales competition between her and Uesugi, knowing that the book has made such a big mistake, so that her series of works will not be destroyed? 】

Eiri asked with a reproachful voice.

"It is precisely because I know that the sales of Xia Shizi's next volume will decline significantly, so I did this deliberately. Although it is a coincidence, the conflict caused by Teacher Uesugi and Xia Shizi may be a good thing. That's why I took this one step further."

Kagurazaka Ayame said with a faint smile.

Ying Piri was stunned, she didn't understand, she took the phone and wanted to ask something, but Kagurazaka Ayame said what she wanted to ask.

Kagurazaka Ayame said: "Actually, the fifth volume of "Love Metronome" did not have any major mistakes, but there were serious mistakes in the fourth volume. In the fourth volume, Kasumi Shiko suddenly appeared in the plot. When it reached its peak, suddenly, the male and female protagonists who had gradually warmed up were separated for different reasons, which led to a large number of readers complaining to Sanhe Bunko, and many loyal readers were lost. Therefore, Sanhe The library itself has no expectations for volume [-] sales."

She looked at the heavy rain outside the window and said, "It's just that I won't give up any of the writers in my hands. Even if the sales are too bad, the company will be held accountable for rushing to the shelves. I also hope that Xia Shizi will continue to write. After all, I am a Everyone's editors, if you don't stand up at this time, how can you stop Kasumi Shizi from quitting the novel world? So... I put all my hopes on Uesugi-sensei."

Ying Lili was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that Kagurazaka Ayame's chess was even bigger than expected.

【dong dong dong】.

"Kagurazaka editor, now the president wants you to talk about some things about the dismal sales of Kasumi Shizi's works."

Suddenly, the door of Kagurazaka Ayame was knocked on, causing Kagurazaka Ayame to be stunned for a moment. She then pondered for a while and said, "Well, I see, thank you."

"Sure enough, I was held accountable."

Kagurazaka Ayame habitually stretched out his hand, pinched his chin, and thought about how to answer the questions of the president and other high-level executives.After all, there is a sudden problem with the sales of first-line authors, and she has a considerable responsibility as the responsible editor.

"That's it, I'm going to the president's office." Kagurazaka Iris said with a smile.

——[Wait a minute, Kagurazaka-san, I still don’t understand, why did you suddenly get involved with Li… Uesugi-sensei? 】

"...Xia Shizi's talent should be recognized by everyone, but she also has an obvious weakness, that is, she is an overly emotional person who is easily disturbed by the outside world."

Kagurazaka Ayame opened the door and said with a smile, "Uesugi-sensei has a characteristic that makes people understand what they need to do when they see it. I think Kasumi Shiko will understand it later."

Li Yan stood at the subway entrance. He originally thought it would rain heavily for an hour, but now it is still pouring rain.As a result, he and other passers-by who came out of the subway could only wait a little at the door.
