Asakawa Shiichi was taken aback.

"Huh?!! Please tell me something."

Although he didn't understand what Chen Yu wanted to say, in Asakawa Zhiyi's heart, Chen Yu's status as a genius had already been fulfilled, no matter what he said, Asakawa Zhiyi would listen carefully.

Feeling the 180-degree change in Asakawa Zhiyi's attitude, Chen Yu didn't deliberately elevate himself because of this. What he wanted was to get more people's approval.

"That's right, I hope to add illustrations to the novels I publish in your company."

"illustration??"

"this"

Asakawa Shiichi was a little embarrassed.

He understands illustrations, but when he thinks that what Chen Yu means is to add illustrations to the novel, it is a little hard to understand.

Seeing Asakawa Zhiyi's troubled look, Chen Yu smiled.

"President Asakawa, haven't you thought about adding illustrations to the novel before?"

Chen Yu knew that the novels he saw before had no illustrations at all except for the cover.

Are novels without illustrations considered light novels?

Anyway, in Chen Yu's opinion, it doesn't count. What he knew about light novels before was that the illustrations are so beautiful and the characters are so cute.

His vision is so clichéd, so vulgar.

It is difficult to recover the cost of publishing the published novels. Do we need to spend more money to find an artist to paint for them?

No, if it's this novel, it's fine to add illustrations to it.

Asakawa Zhiichi's silence, coupled with the sales performance of the published novels he learned before, roughly understands the reason why there are no illustrations in the novels.

"President Asakawa, for light novels, illustrations are indispensable. The existence of illustrations can make an original light novel of excellent quality even better."

"It can deepen the reader's sense of immersion in the novel. Once the reader has a sense of immersion in the novel, then the novel is considered a success."

"Illustrations can also make light novels with poor quality attract many readers with their excellent illustrations."

"For novels, the first thing to do is to attract readers. If you can't attract readers, it's useless for most novels."

"After all, not every novel is of excellent quality."

Chen Yu believed that he was right. Before time travel, most of the light novels in his world had become routines. The reason why some of the novels sold so well was because the illustrations of the novels were attractive enough.

To put it simply, even if the novel itself is not attractive enough, good illustrations can make up for it.

Chen Yu used to be the kind of person who understood light novels from illustrations. Chen Yu believed that he was not the only one who had such thoughts.

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Asakawa Shiichi had the illusion of 'who is the professional in the industry'.

Asakawa Zhiyi is not stupid, after Chen Yu reminded him, he thought of the benefits of novel illustrations.

For an excellent novel, the three requirements for plot, characters and writing style are not high. As long as you can make the readers who read your novel have a sense of substitution, then your novel will be successful.

As long as it attracts readers, there is no fear that readers will not like it. People often buy what they like.

The physical novel book itself is not expensive, so you don’t have to worry about your wallet when you buy it.

However, no one in the industry has tried the illustration that Chen Yu proposed before. Is it really as he said when it is suddenly implemented now?

Imagination is one thing, fact is another, and there is no comparison between the two.

If you act purely based on your imagination, you will be hit hard by the facts.

And Chen Yu also knows this, what he has to do is to use his two novels as experimental products to complete the promotional effect.

It's just that what worries him is the problem of the painter. Although the brilliant brush can make him write extremely brilliant novels, it is useless for painting.

The reason why he asked Asakawa Zhiyi this question was because he wanted to find an excellent painter through Asakawa Zhiyi's contacts.

Anyway, these two novels are also the result of his hard work writing (copying) for a week, and he still attaches great importance to the fruits of his labor.

But now it seems that illustrations have to be considered in the long run.

"Well, President Asakawa, let's put the illustration aside for the time being and think about it later. Now let's discuss how to cooperate."

If the previous things were all false, then what he discussed with Asakawa Shiichi next was a real issue.

Cooperation, the word itself is defined as fair and just.

But in real cooperation, two or more parties, one party will always be at a disadvantage.

This disadvantage is often the most potentially unstable factor in cooperation.Many cooperations end the cooperation because the party who suffers cannot bear the loss.

As for Chen Yu, it is the first time to cooperate with a magazine. He does not have any experience. In his opinion, it is okay for him to suffer a bit from this cooperation. Besides, his original purpose of writing novels was just to accumulate fame through this. , just won the bet with Eri's father.

Chen Yu thought this way, but Asakawa Shiichi thought another way.

This was what Asakawa Zhiyi was worried about before, how to keep the other party to cooperate with him.

As mentioned before, no matter which magazine a work like Chen Yu is submitted to, that magazine will not reject Chen Yu.

The difference between submitting to other magazines is that different magazines must have different conditions for Chen Yu.

The Dengeki Bunko Magazine, where Shiichi Asakawa works, is a magazine that is about to close down. On the surface, it looks like a regular magazine, but in fact he doesn't have any capital to negotiate terms with Chen Yu.
