Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

Although facing the issue of men and women, the boy was a little at a loss and his eyes were a little dodge... But when he recalled the daily life filled with laughter and curses that Tsukawa Yu and those girls spent with him, he felt inexplicable feelings. It rises in this moment.

The Coke in his hand was placed on the table, and the loneliness and confusion of more than ten years in Japan seemed to be shaken at this moment.

He originally thought that he came to this world just to live a lonely life. The so-called copying and striving to improve his abilities were just to find his own value. He didn't care much about the so-called interpersonal relationships... .....

However, recalling Yu Tsugawa's words that she wanted to spend time with him even after going to college, looking back at the words that Tsugawa Yuu mentioned intentionally or unintentionally, looking at this good friend Mochizuki who has always supported him even though he has never directly assisted him in copying, he felt. But some wonderful changes have taken place.

"...There's nothing we can do about you."

After a moment of silence.

Mochizuki curled his lips, as if he was shooing away flies, and said duplicity:

"Get out of here and go back to sleep...I want to paint."

"Okay~ I'll treat you to Nachai's snacks next time."

After making a gesture, Jinchuan Yu patted his brother on the shoulder and stood up:

"Go to rest early. Your father and I should rest first~"

After saying this, the young man stood up and almost wanted to leave first.

"......Teacher Dayu."

Mochizuki's voice sounded.

Tsukawa Yu's footsteps also stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Before I become the godfather of entertainment and go to the Tokyo Dome with Kurihara, I will first become a master of light novels."

Turning the pen in his hand and looking at the brother who was always by his side, Mochizuki's voice was quite serious.

".......yes?"

Nodding thoughtfully, Yu Tsugawa couldn't help but hum when he saw that Fa Xiao, who claimed to be a master of light novels, was actually holding a paintbrush and sketching the storyboard on his iPad Pro:

"...Don't you have a bit of black humor? While you were drawing Chainsaw Man, you told me that you wanted to become a light novel master? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Didn't you know I was a typewriter?"

Mochizuki, who spread his hands gently and had been using the text "re0" as a tool to train his typing speed, said confidently at this moment:

"Just watch, and when these chores are over, I'll give you a little typewriter shock."

"You better be."

Although he was unforgiving, after hearing Mochizuki's assurance and a brief silence, Tsugawa Yu couldn't help but let go:

"......Don't wait so long next time, otherwise I will really have to send you a blade."

"promised."

"...Looking at the way you draw comics, it's really unconvincing."

Looking at Yueli, Tsukawa Yu couldn't help but say that sentence again:

"Sometimes I really hate that you are a slash young man who works all day long - if possible, I really hope to remove your brain and put it into a writing robot that can work stably 24 hours a day, so that maybe you will be able to write in a few days. I can watch the entire series of "re0"! Don't you think so?"

Of course, say so.

When the sigh ended, the young man did not continue to speak.

"Forget it, why don't you love it - get some rest early. Looking at the intensity of the work, I'm afraid you'll suddenly die before you finish writing "re0" and act like you're flying back to the west on a crane. As a father, I've been in the spotlight for decades. .”

"........"

Trying hard not to laugh out loud, Mochizuki continued to speed up his strokes while watching his hair go towards the dim moonlight.

It's really strange.

Sitting like this in a deserted, dark corner drawing comics, Mochizuki always had the feeling that he was not alone.

.....Obviously I came to this world alone.

The originally slightly confused thoughts became clearer at this moment.

The warm wind passing through the quiet lake left sparkling waves, and the years walking through the ancient forest left rings of growth - unknowingly, he also left behind a lot of things.

"...After we finish filming Tiga, let's go home together."

Thinking of the few friends he had in his mind, the young man couldn't help but chuckle.

.......

116. The Chainsaw Man author and Sloth Fish attract traffic at the same time? Another miracle in the industry

Japanese love rankings is in their blood.

Popular company rankings, university bias rankings, artist rankings... Looking around the world, you may never find another country that is so keen on rankings.

So, why do Japanese like rankings so much?

The answer is: pursue a sense of security and order.

Because they will unconsciously think about the ideal state and the correct answer of things, and regard it as the only solution. If there is a ranking, they don’t have to think about it themselves and get into distress. Instead, they already have ready-made reasons to convince themselves that in such a rule-organized world Under "order," they feel at ease.

However, whether such an indicator is appropriate and beneficial to you is another question - after all, there are certain risks in not using your brain and leaving important decisions to others to judge.

As long as there is a ranking, there will be upper and lower relationships and advantages and disadvantages.From a cultural background, Japan has been a country with a hierarchical system since ancient times, and there are many needs for ranking. As time goes by, ranking has gradually become a common hobby and traditional art, and rankings in various industries have also emerged. students, and even to a certain extent, it represents the degree of recognition and ability of people in the industry.

.....Although I still feel that this ranking system is a bit too boring, abstract, and a bit pedantic, but after all, I am in Japan, living a new life, and still want to show off my talents in the entertainment industry. Wang Yueli must still obey tradition and not criticize it too much.

After all, if "re0" wants to gain enough readers' attention and the attention of funders, it must rely on winning the first place in the light novel contest jointly established by several giants in the industry and ranking on various weird lists. Woolen cloth.

"Teacher Mochizuki, the debut battlefield of "re0" should be the upcoming Light Novel Library Newcomer Award."

When Mochizuki finally handed the signed contract with the guardian's name to Kazuma Miki and asked about future operations and development, the famous editor who had been in the industry for many years raised his glasses and said in a clear voice. Here is a passage:

"As the main stage for debut, the Light Novel Bunko Newcomer Award is our best choice. As far as I know, new authors from the Light Novel Gosanka and other small libraries will compete fairly and fairly, and readers will vote on their own. Duel. In the case that our ruler library is naturally insufficient in size and attention, this is one of the few good opportunities to overtake in corners with hard power - so, I still hope that Teacher Mochizuki can pay attention to it and work harder. As long as you get the winning prize, I will be able to arrange for some friends in the industry to make a few ranking lists with you, and hype up the popularity of your work, bonuses, popularity and animated adaptations, which can be achieved with just a few clicks."

"I see."

Nodding slightly, Mochizuki, who was firmly attracted by Fukuzawa Yukichi, the opportunity for animation, and the title of a genius light novel writer, made a move in his mind, and his voice was quite clear:

"President Miki, please help me settle."

"it is good!"

Seeing that the sick light novel writer was so eager to make progress, Kazuma Miki was naturally in a very bright mood, and he cared for Mochizuki Ri more than before.

..... As the days pass, Mochizuki holds "re0" in hand, and the day when he will make a grand appearance in the industry's light novel newcomer competition as a leader of Zhichi Bunko is getting closer and closer.

As one of the first entries of the new library, "Zero - Starting Life in Another World", "Zero - Starting Life in a Different World" carries the library's mission of opening up wasteland, and also has a very important strategic significance for the library to occupy market share... .. Faced with this special work and the importance attached to Mochizuki Rishi himself, Kazuma Miki, as the president, naturally put a lot of energy into it, determined to make this alien in the other world light novel he was optimistic about in the best possible way. Standing on the bridge of the Light Novel Bunko Grand Prize.

Therefore, the famous editor who set up his own business in middle age and was preparing to show off his talents in the light novel industry also kept track of the progress of the library version of "re0" and even communicated online with a certain boy who was a starring role in Ultraman Studio many times. Talking about the release of the novel and future plans.

After signing up for "re0" and roughly creating the promotional page, Miki Kazuma also noticed something that concerned him the most.

That's right... The thing worth paying attention to is the malicious open ending of "re0".

I knew that if the somewhat abstract ending was really released in the Bunko version and participated in the competition, [-]% to [-]% would be criticized, so during an online voice conference, Miki Kazuma, who had finished other work, met with the crew Mochizuki, who was free during the period, had this conversation:

"Teacher Mochizuki, the level of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" is indeed excellent enough. I believe that many people will like your narrative tone when it is released, but there are some things that I think we should pay attention to."

A candied date and a stick. After the compliment, Miki Kazuma also began to want to imitate a certain editor of Young Jump and control Mochizuki's mental state:

"It must be made clear that I think the ending of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" needs to be modified... Subaru Natsuki met Reinhardt and had him defeat Huntress, and finally... The story of Emilia being rescued in this world line is certainly perfect, but Natsuki Subaru’s final ending is too abstract. He almost finished the game but found himself fatally wounded. I don’t know if this kind of story will be restarted. The frustration is very strong, I hope you can restrain yourself a little and don't end the first volume with such a crazy ending."

"what?"

In the online communication, the boy's response was full of astonishment.

For a while.

Like a test, he asked like this:

"...Can't it really end like this?"

Miki Kazuma: "Of course not...light novels are different from Chinese online novels. The content of a volume should have corresponding staged endings or chapters. Your sudden ending is only suitable. A short story that ends in one volume is not suitable for a long series of light novels."

Mochizuki: "Really? It's such a pity. I also wanted Natsuki Subaru to die again at the end of the first volume."

Miki Kazuma: "?"

Mochizuki: "Okay, I roughly understand the situation - then let me add a plot to make the first volume more perfect."

Kazuma Miki: "Additional plot...? Wait, what plot do you want to add?"

Mochizuki: "I would like to add a plot where Subaru Natsuki actually dies, instead of the suspenseful ending where I don't know whether he is dead or not."

Miki Kazuma: "?"

Suddenly, he felt the overwhelming malice hidden in Mochizuki's plain response. For a moment, Miki Kazuma felt that the thinking of the young man who was discussing "Life in Another World from Zero" with him online was indeed a little too unnatural. Even I have trouble controlling myself——

For a moment, the word "danger" appeared on his forehead.

No...you can't make him go crazy!

I have already seen through the plot of the first volume of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" that the boy is in the underworld. I am afraid that this talented boy will lose his advantage in the madness and leave the light novel competition miserably. Miki Ichima is online The response from the meeting was quite powerful:

"Don't mess around! Just finish it well! Don't over-expand or challenge readers!"

Mochizuki: "Okay, I have an idea."

Miki Kazuma: "...Do you really know what you're talking about?"

Mochizuki: "Of course I have. Don't worry, President Miki, I will write a plot that satisfies you."

Kazuma Miki: "......I hope so."

Facing the young man in front of him, who although there was a sense of social fear offline, but his mental state seemed to be very worrying in his bones, Miki Kazuma's mood was also very delicate.

Of course, seeing that he could do nothing but wait for his subordinate Mochizuki to finish writing the manuscript, Miki Kazuma could only sigh, and then reluctantly restrained his racing thoughts and waited for his most promising candidate. The new geek who was most worried was writing the second half of the novel.

It was also at a time when most of the process for re0 to participate in the competition was almost over, and the Light Novel Bunko Grand Prize was getting closer and closer.

After two "ding ding" sounds, President Kazuma Miki of Zhichi Bunko received the follow-up plot of the first volume of "re0" given to him by Mochizuki Haircut.

The book continues from the previous chapter: When Reinhardt repels Huntress and Subaru Natsuki finally reaps Emilia’s smile in the cycle of death, he half-consciously discovers that his lower abdomen has been stabbed with a sharp knife. It was torn apart, bleeding continued, and consciousness began to blur.

.....The final plot of the first volume originally ended with Subaru Natsuki closing his eyes and not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

However, in the new plot written by Mochizuki Ri, Miki Kazuma finally saw some plots that made him feel at ease as an editor:

Subaru was seriously injured in the battle and his life was hanging by a thread. When he was almost ready to return, Emilia stepped forward and worked hard to heal him.

Therefore, the true ending is that the Huntress copy was successfully cleared, and Natsuki Subaru did not return from death... According to the definitions of Mochizuki Ri and even Miki Kazuma, an industry editor, it is indeed a good ending.

To be honest, if the first volume ended like this, Kazuma Miki would be quite lucky that his mentally ill light novelist's condition was under control——

However, it was precisely at the moment when Miki Kazuma thought that the plot of the boy's supplement had ended, that the first volume of "re0" could be considered to have a satisfactory ending. Pulling down the mouse, Miki Kazuma was horrified. Discovery: In addition to this most suitable node for the completion of the first volume, Mochizuki actually left a manuscript of several thousand words!

"........"

Realizing that things were not that simple, Miki Kazuma's expression changed quite subtly.

........Is this kid taking advantage of the chaos to get sick?

Gently holding his chin, Editor Miki was surprised by Mochizuki's hand and felt a little complicated.

And when he continued to slide the mouse and focused on the manuscript on the computer screen, his expression changed slightly.

Natsuki Subaru, who had saved his life, came to Borozvar's mansion on the border of Metzas of the Lugnica Kingdom.

"Is this a new map and a new dungeon?"

Faintly aware that the next plot was not simple, the middle-aged man raised his glasses and couldn't help but cheer up.

Under his gaze, thousands of words with huge information density turned into pictures one after another, and they kept emerging in his brain...

After arriving at the mansion, Subaru's life trajectory has undergone considerable changes, and he also learned a lot of information and intelligence that he did not know in the past.

When he heard the explanation from Roswaal, the owner of the mansion, he realized: It turned out that the king of Lugnika Kingdom had passed away, and Emilia was the candidate who was qualified to become the next king. That badge was exactly what he wanted. It is a token that symbolizes the qualifications of being a candidate for king!

Only then did he realize that he was not an ordinary person who rescued Emilia, and that the badge he regained had such an effect. Natsuki Subaru's expression was quite shocked, and he also felt firsthand why he had done so in the previous world lines. Being in such danger...

Now that he has followed Emilia, Natsuki Subaru is considered to be on board.

In this regard, after learning that Natsuki Subaru had rescued Emilia, Roswaal also happily decided to fulfill Subaru's wish.

In the end, Subaru started working in Roswaal's mansion on the condition that food and accommodation were provided: his daily work was to deal with all the affairs of the mansion with Rem and Ram, and he also made an appointment with Emilia to go out. Dating.
