I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan
Page 375
However, even works like Li Yan and Teacher Xia Shizi that have won the ranks of first-line popular authors often face a lot of pressure. If the first volume of the work is well written at the beginning, it does not mean that it will remain like this in the future. If the content of the first to fifth volumes is maintained well, there will not be much problem, but with the accumulation of words and the repeated use of expression techniques, even if the quality of writing does not decrease, it is very likely that resulting in a drop in sales.
This phenomenon is also something Li Yan has been alert to. Although fans still have great expectations for his books at the moment, the next volume seven, if he himself and his novels do not choose to make breakthroughs, the degree of completion of the works will probably be It will really start going downhill.
Therefore, in this stormy sea, most works will start to be impacted by the market before the fifth volume. For example, the first work of Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, the sales plummeted in the fourth volume. Although there are some reasons for it, but There is no new bright spot in the content, which is also an important reason for the decrease in sales.
Li Yan's works are a bit special. After all, they belong to the type of light novels that are relatively difficult to write. They are also of the type of hot-blooded fantasy. Naturally, they are also much stronger in resisting the market storm. Although the novel is a pastime, it has a connotation that touches the hearts of readers. It will always retain readers more than novels that simply play the form, but it will also encounter tests or even require breakthroughs in its critical period.After Li Yan saw the feedback on his Twitter getting worse and worse, he realized this subconsciously, and he started to get a little bit lost.
So, going forward or going back step by step, after chatting with Sayuri Sawamura, Li Yan realized it was a multiple choice question.
……
"Cough cough cough..."
In a daze, Qingshan Qihai, who woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes. She found that the time seemed to have entered the night, and it was dark outside the window, but the rain was still pattering.
While suffering from the consequences of being stubborn, Qingshan Qihai discovered Li Yan's back. He almost fell asleep. After waking up, that figure remained the same.
The back figure was motionless, but the tense and high-pressure atmosphere seemed to be on fire, and the concentration and seriousness of mind did not disappear at all after a few hours.
"..." For some reason, Qingshan Qihai looked at it, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
This person turned out to be the author of the light novel "Super Energy Academy War". When she heard Li Yan's self-reported pseudonym on a rainy day, she was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
No wonder Shiina Mashiro admired him so much.
Because, whether she or Shiina Mashiro, aren't they all fans of his works?
However, she also became depressed. Earlier, Li Yan said that he was an ordinary person, but she didn't believe it. Is someone who can write such a powerful light novel really qualified to call himself an "ordinary person"?
"However, you can clearly see the scene where the legendary Uesugi Yan was writing the seventh volume, but he fell asleep unsatisfactorily... Sure enough, my luck is still too bad..." Qingshan Qihai thought in despair.
"Cough cough cough..." Qi Hai still coughed. 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 by focusing on writing for such a long time.
"That, Senior Li..."
Qingshan Qihai called Li Yan in a low voice.
However, after a long time, Li Yan did not see any reaction.
At first, Qingshan Qihai thought that Li Yan didn't hear it, and then called out a few more times, but to his surprise, no matter how Qihai called, the back did not move.
Suddenly, Qingshan Qihai didn't dare to say a word.
She got up reluctantly, wrapped the quilt, and walked forward to take a look at Li Yan's condition.
At this moment, Li Yan's eyes were focused and a little absent-minded, but there was a feverish aura around him, as if he was immersed in the computer screen. The breath seemed to be exactly the same as the world between him and the novel, even if she was standing beside her, she didn't notice it at all.
The pattering rain made a sound.
"..."
Qingshan Qihai was breathing hard, but she was deeply attracted by Li Yan's scene.
This was the scene where the novel she liked to read was created, but it was a little different from what she imagined. She suddenly wondered if she could really hold on for so long when she was reciting the lines, and she really had this focus. Have you studied it to a degree?
"Seven seas."
Suddenly, a slight girlish voice came from behind her.
"Huh?" Nanami was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and saw Shiina Mashiro.
"real……"
However, just when Nanami was about to call her by her name, Shiina Mashiro put her finger in front of her lips expressionlessly, motioning Nanami to keep quiet.She took Nanami back to the bed, knelt down beside her, and then whispered, "Holmes is still writing... just wait a little longer."
"...Yes." Qingshan Qihai was silent for a while, then nodded, she suddenly understood why senior Li Yan wanted her to watch him create like this.
……
At night, in the quiet room, a small clock placed on the table was still ticking slightly. Suddenly, the clock turned to eight o'clock, and the bell started to ring.
Li Yan's attention was suddenly detached from the screen, he stopped writing for a while, and turned his eyes to the direction of the door.
"jiang~~jiang, I'm here."
Suddenly, Ayame Kagurazaka, the editor who was a little too punctual, walked in and greeted with a smile.
"...Miss Kagurazaka, you are really on time." Li Yan looked at her with surprise and said with emotion.
"After all, I'm also short of time here. Do you know what I've been scolded by the editor-in-chief? In short, you must give me the [-]-word draft first, and the first half must be reviewed first. Why? Like, have you printed it out?" Kagurazaka Ayame asked with a smile.
"It's printed out... By the way, are you ready to draw the illustration for Ying Lili?" Li Yan handed over a stack of manuscripts to Kagurazaka Iris and said.
"In the case of Yingli, I always feel that the progress is similar to yours. The first half has been drawn and the quality is very good. I always feel that you have an appointment to rewrite together, and the progress is similar. I want her to be at twelve o'clock. Give me the next few illustrations before." Kagurazaka Ayame said, covering her forehead with a headache.
"...Maybe that guy only finished half of the painting before." Li Yan thought silently.
Next, Kagurazaka Ayame really got Li Yan's "gambling chip", the first draft of about [-] words, although he had confidence in Li Yan's strength before, but after encountering it, Kagurazaka Ayame felt a little bit more Undecided, she simply said hello to Shinshiro and Nanami, then went downstairs and drove back.
As a result, in the office, when Kagurazaka Ayame entered the door, four or five editors and Kagurazaka Ayame's chief editor-in-chief were all waiting in her office.
"Bring it back, editor-in-chief."
Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile without any pressure at all.
"Oh, I'm back, so, how is the quality?" the editor-in-chief asked.
"I read it on the way. The plot of the article rewritten by Mr. Uesugi Yan is very dangerous according to my professional opinion." Kagurazaka Iris sat in front of the editor-in-chief and said directly.
