I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist.

He entered the stall and placed the filled plastic bags haphazardly on the table.

"It's just to confuse mere mortals."

Wu Geng Liuli said with contempt.

Just when Hikigaya Hachiman returned to the stall, a familiar customer arrived.

Ying Lili still looks the same as before at the last comic show, disguised with a hat and glasses to look pretty.

"It's you?"

Wu Geng Liuli also had an impression of such a person.

"Let me see how your new work goes."

千:?.,寻.免;费'小!说",裙::,2",:;5.!!!5;!5:!?'9:!:;5:3;"0!,0　　英梨梨表现得冷淡，伸手将同人小说拿起试阅。

"This time, it's okay."

She gave her true evaluation, then took out a thousand yen and bought two copies like last time.

"Could this guy's subtext be that my writing was actually poor last time?"

Although she made money, Wu Geng Liuli felt a little unhappy.

On the morning of the first day, around noon, a total of 400 fan fiction books were sold out.

This time Wu Geng Liuli's fan fiction sales have doubled compared to the last time, and it is even higher than the two had expected.

"It's probably because the readers preached after they returned home."

He judged it.

“There are indeed many old faces among the people who come to buy books.”

Wu Geng Liuli thought about it for a moment.

"Let's keep up the good work next time."

He gave a blessing.

In the evening, Hikigaya Hachiman logged into the Fusugawa Bunko Newcomer Award webpage for the first time in a long time.

He was somewhat interested in what Wu Geng Liuli said about "Metronome of Love". This was of course because he had an impression of Kasumigaoka Shiu, the creator of this work.

The first volume of "Metronome of Love" features only Naoto and Sayuka. The plot tells a short story about two people who met and fell in love. The content fully reflects the imagination of adolescent girls about love. The dreamlike description makes people feel unreal. Beautiful, it can be completely defined as a 'science fiction' novel.

If we define it in simpler terms...

"It's completely a yy article, and it's full of loopholes."

After reading it, Hikigaya Hachiman made an evaluation.

As a light novelist with a solid foundation, he could see that the look and feel of "Metronome of Love" was only supported by Kasumigaoka Shiu's literary talent. However, it would be easy to encounter bottlenecks in this way.

The current popularity is so high because the first volume is indeed well written, but that's all. If you want the second volume to continue this look and feel, the difficulty will increase sharply.

He couldn't help but feel a little pity, this was obviously a waste of his talent.

In his opinion, although Kasumigaoka Shiu's creative acumen is inferior to Miss Yamada's, her writing style is quite outstanding, definitely at the level of 'super high school level'. Overall, the two are about the same.

Don't think this review is bad.

You must know that although Ms. Yamada's combat effectiveness is somewhat inflated, relying on the advantages of some subjects and the full assistance of Elmy, as a best-selling author with sales of more than one million, she is already quite rare in the industry.

It is worth mentioning that Ms. Yamada’s talents have not been fully utilized. If she works hard enough, her combat effectiveness will not appear to be inflated.

"Da da da……"

Hikigaya Hachiman thought for a while, typed a text, and sent out the suggestions he had thought up.

For now, that's all he can do.

Since his account has been verified, his comments quickly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone worked hard to push his comments to the top.

"Look who this is! I've caught you, old thief Yuexi!"

"Reading romance novels secretly, right? Fortunately, I took a look at the comment section, otherwise I would have missed it."

"Everyone, help me, put Teacher Yuese up so that the author can see this message."

"Why don't you go and write the seventh volume! Who asked you to secretly read the novel!"

"No wonder I always feel like something is wrong after watching "Metronome of Love". Now that Teacher Yueze said this, I roughly understand."

"Who are you? Do you like to teach others?"

"The author's achievements are good and he will most likely make a debut in the future. I hope he can listen to the opinions of the old thieves. Otherwise, it would be a pity if his debut is cut short."

Just a few days later, the author of "Metronome of Love" logged into his author account.

61 critical comments

Failure always runs through life. This is the life of most people, but for some people, life is always smooth sailing.

Kasumigaoka Shiu, is now a first-year student at the private Toyosaki Academy. Ever since she was a child, she has done everything smoothly. She can do well in whatever she wants, and she has always ranked first in her grade in studies. She has achieved good results and was asked by the drama club to write a script. She is already a well-known talent.

Just some time ago, she accidentally learned about the existence of light novels while browsing the Internet, and she immediately became interested. It is not as troublesome as other work hobbies. After successfully submitting the article online, she can also have free time to write.

As a result, she created the work "Metronome of Love" and participated in the Novel Newcomer Award.

Just as her life went smoothly before, when others thought writing novels was difficult, her "Metronome of Love" quickly soared to a high level, and the comments below were all rave reviews.

"At this level, debuting won't be a problem at all, right?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu checked the final review of previous years, judged this result as it should be, and treated it as normal.

Because no one else knew that she was writing novels online, she didn't see what happened in her comment section until she accidentally checked it a few days later.

"This is a very good youth romance novel. Reading it is like tasting honey, making people indulge in that beautiful fantasy world. However, such perfection is flawed. I would like to provide some suggestions. I hope the author can see that, first of all, the sweetness is too high, the stamina is not enough, and it is difficult to savor it. It is like taking a sip of sugar and getting tired of it easily. Secondly, the plot of the story is still naive and is used for the shining point of the characters. The shaping of the film is not enough. The author probably has not had much exposure to the light novel genre before. Although he has a strong talent, he cannot bring it into full play... If there is a chance to debut, I hope the author can work hard on these aspects. In this case, next The road will go smoothly, otherwise it will be easy to fall from the mountain top to the cliff. Of course, this is just my family's opinion, and the author does not need to refer to it. 』

Although Hikigaya Hachiman did a good job for himself in the end, the power of this critical review is still real. He suppressed it first and then raised it, and pointed out two very big shortcomings.

Such sincere words cannot be exchanged for treating him differently, especially for Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

Of course she was very proud at this time and believed in her abilities even more, and her ranking in the Newcomer Award has become the basis of her confidence.

So after reading this piece of advice, Kasumigaoka Shiyu immediately felt that her hard work had been wasted.

"You actually said that what I wrote was too naive? Too sweet?"

She couldn't understand that the stories in fantasy could come as they wanted, and all this was the author's own will.

If a love story is not sweet and innocent, can it still be a love story?

The emotional and rational thinking of both parties are colliding, but it is difficult to change people's will when they are preconceived.

However, although Kasumigaoka Shiyu disagreed, he still remained polite in his reply.

"Thanks to this teacher for his suggestions. I have seen it, but creations are diverse and everyone should have their own ideas. 』

From the comments below, she already knew that this was a light novelist who had already debuted and sold well. This did not mean that the other person's views were necessarily correct or suitable for her.

Being denied by someone for the first time in her life made her emotional. After the emotion passed, she understood rationally that the other person's intention in providing her with advice was indeed a good one.

When a popular writer gives advice to an unknown creator, it also means he is optimistic about the author's approval. Otherwise, he will simply exit the page.

Out of curiosity, she searched for the other party's information.

"The moonlight is so beautiful. Your debut work "Summer Returns" is now a popular author with sales approaching 100 million?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu murmured.

She didn't know what the level of this achievement was in the industry, but thinking about it, this number was not a small number.

Close the browsing page.

"At least one thing he said is right. I should know more about light novels."

After thinking about it carefully, Kasumigaoka Shiyu became thoughtful.

Regarding the understanding of light novels, she actually refers to the works submitted for the Newcomer Award that are the same as hers. The value of such a model is indeed not high enough.

It is indeed a very arrogant idea to think that you can see the whole light novel in this way.

So, she decided to start to truly understand light novels from "Summer Returns".

……

Hikigaya Hachiman also saw Kasumigaoka Shiu's reply later, and he could feel the other party's firm belief and pride from his words.

He can understand this, after all, the lives of both parties are different.

As for whether the other party can hear his suggestions, he doesn't really care, not to mention that what he says may not necessarily be suitable for the other party.

In his eyes, wanting to do something is a process of self-satisfaction in itself. You do it just for the sake of enlightenment, and the specific results are not important.

……

the next day.

Kasumigaoka Shiu bought a total of six volumes of the light novel "Summer Returns", which cost a lot.

"This is my first time buying a light novel. I hope it won't disappoint anyone."

She started reading with the intention of appreciating it.

After a while, she finished reading the first volume.

"Is this a work with an average sales volume of more than [-]? It's a bit unexpected. It is indeed much better than those who won the Newcomer Award, but that's it."

Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a little surprised and saw some bright spots, it did not exceed her imagination.

If that was the case, she believed that as long as she could maintain the level of "Love Metronome", she could achieve it.

Even so, at least the quality of the work did not disappoint her, and the money spent was not in vain, so she continued to read on.

Soon, Kasumigaoka Shiyu discovered something, and the look and feel of the work improved.

This shows that the author has made progress, which is not surprising.

Then the third volume, the fourth volume...until I finish the sixth volume.

Unbelievable.

During this time, when she looked back, she realized that she was not distracted at all. Apart from eating, she was almost immersed in the story and had no intention of preparing a critical review at the beginning.

"This story is very good, and the author is even better...Teacher Moonlight?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu opened his eyes with deep eyes.

Although she doesn't have Yamada Fairy's divine eye skills, she can still see certain things from the works.

She admitted that she was somewhat impressed by the teacher whose pen name was "Moonlight is So Beautiful" and had a more concrete understanding of it.

But that doesn't mean she has changed her mind.

I just feel that if I can chat with such a person, I might gain something very special.

62 Recommended messages

Summer vacation is coming to an end.

At this time, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly received another call from the editor.

"Teacher Moonlight, do you want to write a recommendation message for "Silver Season"?"

The so-called recommendation messages are the first means for seniors in the industry to support their juniors. Promotional pictures will contain book reviews by popular writers, using the reputation of popular writers to call on readers to support them. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to the Internet era. PY, just not that cheap.

Because this is actually risky. If you promote the work blindly, it may lead to negative reviews.
