The target is light novel master

Time moves on.

After learning the lesson, Izumi Chiha made major changes to her original manuscript until it caught the eye.

Although he didn't live long enough to enter society in his previous life, after all, he has so many years of experience, so as long as he changes his mentality, it is enough to correct some basic mistakes with his learning ability.

Trial for the second time.

"Well, it's much better this time. I feel that the handling of the plot has become more coordinated, and the key points between the various characters are also clearer. It can be read... But after all, I am not a professional, so I can't put forward any opinions. , I think you can try to contribute.”

Ying Lili gave her own advice.

"I think so too."

Izumi Chiha nodded.

"Then what are you going to do, do you want to serialize online to participate in the newcomer award, or just submit a manuscript?"

Ying Lili glanced at him.

Here, there are two ways to get out.

One is to participate in the awards on the website of various libraries. As long as the data is good enough, the top-ranked light novels will have a chance to debut, but the process is relatively slow.

The other is direct submission, which requires a relatively high number of words. The first step is to get the editor to approve you, and then go to the editor-in-chief...to finalize step by step.

In the previous life, it took about half a year for this set of procedures until it was published and sold. In this life, it is different, the pace is faster, and it usually takes about two months.

"Contribute directly."

Izumi Chiha closed her eyes and thought for a while, and finally came up with the answer.

He believes that he needs the evaluation of professionals in order to make faster progress.

If you serialize it on the Internet, it is difficult to see where your problem lies.

Rely on readers?

how is this possible.

Everyone's ideas are different. If you really write according to what they say, it's easy to ignore the beginning and the end, and just explode in rhythm.

So, he printed the manuscript that he had revised, and then sent it to the email address of Undead Chuan Library.

Next, just wait for the reply from the other party.

……

At this moment, Sagiri suddenly found him.

"Nissan... do you want to become a light novelist?"

Her expression was much more serious than usual.

"Did Yinglili tell you?"

Izumi Chiha thought for a while.

"Yes."

Sagiri nodded.

When did these two get mixed up?

Izumi Chiha thought to herself.

"Well, I have started to submit articles recently, but I don't know how long it will take to make my debut. If I'm lucky, it shouldn't take long."

He's already looking to the future.

Sagiri pursed her lips, her crystal-clear pupils gleamed with light, as if she had made up her mind, her voice became louder: "Nissan, if that time comes, can I be your exclusive illustrator?"

"Is it Yinglili's suggestion?"

He was a little surprised.

"No, it's my own decision."

Her gaze is firm.

"Well, Nisan, my painting skills are not bad, and sister Ying Lili also thinks it's okay. I have been learning from Kasang since I was a child..."

In order to improve persuasiveness, Sagiri added another sentence.

Although she was a little incoherent, she could see her intentions.

"I see. If I can make my debut smoothly, then let Sagiri be my illustrator."

Izumi Chiha reached out and patted her head, then kneaded her.

After all, it is my sister's sincere heart, if she refuses, it would be too sad.

"Nissan, then we have a deal."

Sagiri smiled instantly.

6ol editor Sonoko Machida

About a week later, because of the contact information left behind, Izumi Chiha received a call back.

"Hello, this is the Undead River Bunko. I'm the editor Machida Sonoko. You are the contributor, right?"

"Yes."

"About your previous contribution "White Album", I need to have an interview with you, do you have time?"

"It's the weekend."

"Well, it will be at three o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday at..."

After making an appointment with the other party, Sonoko Machida hung up the phone with a strange look on her face.

This voice seems to be a little boy?

……

A few days later.

Izumi Chiha came to a coffee shop according to the previous agreement.

On the seat, an OL beauty is sitting on the seat and waiting. The slim black hip skirt and black pantyhose are matched with the heroic short hair, which makes the mature face look even more glamorous.

However, her character is not what she looks like.

"Miss Machida Sonoko?"

He stood by and asked tentatively.

"You are Izumi? You are so young, are you still in junior high school?"

Machida Sonoko raised her eyes and said in surprise.

"Yes."

After confirming, he sat opposite.

"Are all the authors of light novels like this now? Middle school students... By the way, there was an elementary school student who came to contribute."

Machida Sonoko sighed.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Curiosity arose in Izumi Chiha's heart.

"Yeah, the writing isn't very good, and it's very noisy. It's such a troublesome brat who keeps yelling, 'I'm going to be the savior of the light novel world'."

Machida Sonoko tapped her forehead.

"Let's get to the point, about Izumi's work..."

Her gaze suddenly changed.

Izumi Chiha also looked serious.

My own works, the attitude is naturally different.

"I've already read your submission. To be honest, considering your age, it's not bad to have such a writing style, and the control of the plot is also a little effective... But your current level is still not enough to make a debut .”

Sonoko Machida spoke slowly.

His mood sank.

"But I still came, which proves that I am actually very optimistic about you, especially after meeting Izumi, I am even more convinced of this."

Machida Sonoko laughed again.

Izumi Chiha couldn't help being taken aback.

"Because you are still young and look more mature than your peers, I am confident to help you make your debut... As for becoming a popular light novelist, then I have no choice. After all, I am only an editor. If so level, I have already written it myself."

Machida Sonoko expressed her expectations for him and made a joke by the way.

"Thanks to Editor Machida for the approval."

Izumi Chiha also laughed, feeling much better.

Although he is not afraid of being sprayed for nothing, being recognized by others can at least prove that this is a feasible path for him.

He is a little more confident than before.

Not egotistical.

Machida Sonoko actually entered the Undead River Bunko as an editor this year, so she also hopes that she can have enough powerful authors under her command.

But after reading many manuscripts, she directly rejected them.

It wasn't until she received Izumi's manuscript that she felt enough potential, so she arranged this meeting.

"Does Editor Machida have any comments?"

Izumi Chiha humbly asked for advice.

"If you want to say anything... I don't think you, Izumi, are suitable for works of this kind of subject at all, at least not yet."

Machida Sonoko fundamentally denied him.

Because of the previous praise, Izumi Chiha had a solid heart, although there were some small blows, but she could bear it and continue to listen to her narration.

"You want to write about the love life of the two heroines. There should be all kinds of sweetness and sourness in the process, but from your description, I can't feel it at all..."

She shook her head, then made her own judgment.

"Although some people can write love light novels worth reading if they don't understand love, but...you are still too young, it's normal to not understand these things."

Machida Sonoko smiled slightly.

'Is this a slap in the face? '

Izumi Chiha felt a burning pain in his face.

He hasn't forgotten his bold words in front of Ying Lili before.

The result is now broken.

It was embarrassing, but he accepted it.

In his previous life, he lived to the age of high school, and he had never experienced what it was like to be in love. Apart from novels, anime, games and the like, there was nothing else.

Sonoko Machida was right.

"If you want to debut earlier, I suggest you change the theme, weaken the presence of love, and change the theme to friendship or family affection."

"If you want to stick to your choice, you can read more romantic literary novels, or movies, etc. After a period of speculation, maybe you can substitute into it."

Machida Sonoko gave him two options to choose from.

Izumi Chiha thought for a while and chose the first option.

Because it's not like he hasn't watched love dramas before, but they haven't reaped any results. It seems that he still can't feel the real emotion.

"Wise choice."

Machida Sonoko nodded, very satisfied with his judgment.

"Then Izumi, what kind of works do you like? Tell us and let's refer to it together to see if there is a chance to show your strengths."
