I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"This story is very good, are you really just middle school students?"

Li Yan looked at the manuscript in his hand, and said with appreciation, "At least it has a high score in the story, and the foreshadowing and thinking are quite strong. If it is written as a novel, it should be a good light novel work. However, comics are comics, which are different from novels, but if you try to draw them, it should be a very competitive work."

"Ah, haha, that's really the case. Gao and I have been busy for so long, so it's not a waste of effort." Qiu Ren heaved a sigh of relief and said happily.

"By the way, Uesugi-sensei."

The boy named the highest was a little puzzled and asked: "It's a bit presumptuous to ask, I actually have a doubtful question, since "Super Power Academy War" is a best-selling light novel and a popular animation work, everything is It was very successful, but there is no cartoonization of the "Super Academy" series in the market, why is that?"

Li Yan was silent for a while, and in front of the serious junior creators, he said truthfully: "That's why I said that novels are novels, comics are comics, and animations are okay, just like novels can be adapted into TV series, but light novels are Adapting it into a comic will greatly reduce the number of words in the description, and the artistic conception that many authors want to express cannot be conveyed to the reader, which is a factor that light novel comics have not been very successful."

"So that's the case..." Qiu and Gao woke up one after another, and it turned out that the work was not cartoonized.

Li Yan saw the boundless efforts and dreams of creation from these two teenagers. For some reason, he had a feeling of envy and mixed feelings in his heart.

"Takagi, Majo, you two really have dreams and talents. In the future, you will definitely be able to create great comics. Please work hard in the future. I look forward to your growth." Li Yan looked at the two of them. Rookie, said.

"Thank you, we are also looking forward to the next plot of the "Super Academy" series, and we will look forward to and fully support Mr. Uesugi's next work."

Qiu Ren seemed to be looking forward to Li Yan's talent and said with a smile.

"Next..."

Li Yan's expression darkened.

Qiu Ren Gao originally expected and looked forward to, but in Li Yan's reaction, he noticed something was wrong and looked at him curiously.

"After completing this light novel with all my strength, I may not have so much energy to continue creating. Originally, "Super Academy War" was designed to make money from the beginning, although it really took a lot of my efforts. And hard work, this is my first published work, but...probably my last."

Li Yan said to them.

"Ah……"

In the lounge, Shiina Mashiro, who was sleeping on the sofa, opened his eyes in surprise, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, and suddenly there was a strong sadness in his heart...

Chapter 188 Mr. Benzi Painter's Assistant

The sky, once again, began to drizzle with some drizzle.

The three people standing by the window seemed to talk about some sensitive parts in their words. Although they met by chance, facing the energetic newcomer group of cartoonists, Li Yan finally said the words in their curious eyes. own plans.

"...Please wait a minute! Uesugi-sensei, why is this?!"

Qiu Ren asked with surprise and doubts all over his face, his glasses almost falling off.

As an author who also writes stories, Akito Takagi obviously couldn't understand the sudden decision revealed by this brilliant young novelist in front of him, so he only wrote his first work and planned to quit the writing industry.After all, he had already stood at the high point of Qiu Ren's dream, yet he gave up the altar under his feet so easily.

"Because I'm already in college, I need to spend enough energy and time to learn real knowledge in four years of college, and I can't live up to the expectations of my teacher. Probably I can only choose between academics and writing..."

Li Yan looked at the stack of manuscripts in his hand, and explained his reasons with a bit of sadness. He heard the sound of rain, and while speaking, he raised his head and looked at the raindrops outside the window.

"In four years of college, if you work harder, you can probably achieve academic success and really learn something. But human energy is limited, at least when studying, half-heartedness may make Life is empty, so I decided to live up to the expectations of current readers, work hard to write the fourteen volumes of the "Super Power Academy" series, and then do my best to strive for the current goal."

Immediately, he looked at Akihito Takagi with a pair of expectant eyes, and said encouragingly: "Four years later, I don't know if I will still retain my current creative enthusiasm when I write again... Although I like writing very much, I also know that writing requires more preparation and conditions at the beginning. I should...not have a creative environment without worries, and my family supports me to study, so I must use more force The power to maintain the possibility of the future... Instead of simply pursuing my own creative dream, after all, science is also my dream. Of course, these things should be regarded as the privacy and confidentiality of companies and individuals, but your opinions on creation Enthusiasm and dreams have really infected me, and I know more about my future growth direction than I do, which is really amazing, and I look forward to your future growth."

"Uesugi-sensei..."

"Although we can understand your decision, it always feels like a great loss to both light novels and animation works..."

It is a pity that sincerity is the highest as a painter, not to mention Akito Takagi, who has always admired and longed for the works of the genius Uesugi Yan.

However, as newcomers and outsiders, they were able to hear Uesugi Yan's words, which showed that he really looked forward to their creative future, and also showed his trust in their morality. As the other party's choice, they did not interfere more. s right.

After exchanging line accounts, sincere supreme and Takagi Qiuren bowed to Li Yan, they left this corner of the banquet, leaving Li Yan alone.

It should be said that he is only a few years older than the two of them, but looking at these two energetic, talented and infinitely possible creative newcomers, he seems a little bleak.

His conditions are not the same as other people's. He started writing light novels because of life's compulsion. He had no choice. He obviously likes the life of writing very much, but now he has no choice whether to continue picking up this pen or not. room……

Outside the window behind Li Yan, there was a gray sky, and there was a steady drizzle of rain. In the sound of the rain, there was an inexplicable melancholy permeating this figure.

However, in the hustle and bustle of the banquet and the tranquility of the rest area, when Li Yan was thinking about it, under the blue Japanese-style door curtain, the girl quietly stood with her legs inside the curtain, her eyes were a little uneasy, and in the white face With hesitation, he quietly looked at the curtain, but did not have the courage to go out.

Suddenly, she didn't understand why Li Yan chose this way...

However, when looking at his back through the door curtain, he seemed to be able to sense such a choice. Li Yan must have his reasons... At this moment, what should I do is right...

Suddenly, she realized that she didn't know Li Yan at all.

"Holmes..."

In the dimly lit lounge, Shiina Mashiro was standing there. The sound of the rain outside beat her hesitant mind. She seemed to want to say something to Li Yan, but at this moment, her cell phone received a message. Short message.

This text message made Shiina Mashiro's eyes change.

Rain, dripping on the glass, seemed to tug at the girl's heartstrings.Thin as silk, thousands of thoughts...

※※※

The pattering rain was still falling, and after Li Yan watched outside the lounge door for a long time, he didn't see Shiina Mashiro come out of the female staff lounge.

As a result, after a period of waiting, the time for the banquet passed quickly, and the cartoonists who attended the party began to prepare to leave the venue.

"It's strange, why haven't you slept well, the banquet is over, and it's not good to disturb the staff of the hotel all the time. Would it be better for me to wake her up?"

Li Yan looked at the time, it was almost noon now, and Shiina Mashiro had already slept for an hour and a half.The lounge in front of him has always had female staff taking turns to rest, so it is inconvenient for men to enter the female staff rest area. He took out the phone and planned to remind Shiina Mashiro.

"Uesugi-sensei, what are you doing here?"
