Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu crying, Eirili immediately regretted it, waved her hands hurriedly, and said incoherently: "You... don't cry, I'm just saying that the book's first sales volume died so fast, we can slow down Just wait until you revise the plot and work hard on the next volume..."
"Efforts are useless because I can no longer find a way to write that suits readers."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu raised her head and looked at Eiri, and said in a low tone: "In this light novel, I obviously wrote everything in a normal way, and there was no mistake at all, but the sales volume proved that everything about me was The reader denied that this kind of thing is not as easy as you think..."
At this point, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's tears had already wet the table in front of her. She picked up the bag on the table, lowered her head and left the cafe.
Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu leaving, Mu Fan and Ying Lili fell into silence. They sat in their seats without speaking.
At this time, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't listen to anyone's persuasion. It would be better for her to be quiet at this time.
Just now, the meals ordered by Kasumigaoka Shiyu, Mu Fan and Eiri were all brought out by the maid. However, after Kasumigaoka Shiyu made such a fuss, even the originally hungry Eiri lost her appetite and just drank a few sips of ice. Shui looked at Mu Fan and blamed himself: "Mu Fan, did I go a little too far just now..."
Mu Fan shook his head, forced a smile on his face, and comforted her: "Senior sister is not such a petty person. This matter is not your fault, and of course not senior sister's fault. It's just that the problem lies in the performance of the book. Senior sister is different from your Lord Silver Flash, the author who surpassed her. Your Lord Silver Flash is a god who has accumulated and grown from one book to another, finding his own weaknesses and making up for them. He can withstand the blows, and he can hone himself into an extraordinary person through the blows."
"Theoretically speaking, a person who writes a book and becomes a god with millions of sales will have a much firmer heart and understanding of light novels than a person who writes a book and becomes a god. But the senior sister is different. It was only after her last book that she stumbled across the name of "Xia Shizi". She became famous in one book, but because she became famous in one book, she felt more pressure on the new book, and she was not firm in her heart. She never understood how the new book should be titled. What form should I present it to everyone, and what should I do if the second book is sold out?”
"I finally came up with a new theme, sorted out the mistakes in the previous book, and presented something that everyone liked, but in the end I got a reader who didn't understand. The comments in the book review area were pretty good, but after the book was published, As a result, no one bought it, and the sales volume was so bad that her efforts were rejected by readers, which made her feel worse than just throwing it out on the street."
Mu Fan knew that Eiri was a good girl, and although she often quarreled with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, the relationship between the two was very good because of the quarrels. Kasumigaoka Shiyu was not a stingy person, and she was the same as Eiri. Maybe he left angrily because of what the other person said.
So in Mu Fan's opinion, what really concerned the senior sister was the issue of her new book.
In the final analysis, Kasumigaoka Shiyu cares too much about readers' opinions and new books.
... ...
Hearing what Mu Fan said, Ying Lili didn't have any expression of surprise on her face. Instead, she said with disappointment: "This is the first time I have seen Xia Shizi like that. I hope she can cheer up soon."
"Don't worry, senior sister is not that kind of person who gives up on herself. Let's eat first."
Mu Fan smiled lightly and motioned for Ying Lili to eat. After all, Ying Lili's arrival in the cafe proved that she was hungry. Thinking back to the queue to buy games, Mu Fan understood that Ying Lili might not have even eaten breakfast.
The senior sister was so sad that she didn't eat or drink alone, but she couldn't bring Ying Lili with her.
Of course, even though Mu Fan comforted Ying Lili like this, Mu Fan knew in his heart that Kasumigaoka Shiyu's heart was always much stronger than others, but this time the senior sister was really sad, and she was heartbroken. This matter I'm afraid things won't go away easily.
But Mu Fan forgot one thing. Even he knew that Kasumigaoka Shiyu would not recover so easily. How could Yinglili, who had been dealing with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, not understand Kasumigaoka Shiyu's character
The two of them were not in a good mood in the cafe. They just ate a little and left most of the food before going to check out. Since Mu Fan and Ying Lili's home was on the way, Mu Fan offered to help Ying Lili carry it for the time being. Go home with your game equipment.
Halfway through, Yinglili's cell phone suddenly rang.
Ying Lili took out her phone and looked at it, then quickly typed a few replies on the screen and took the phone back.
"What's matter?"
The whole walk back from Akihabara was silent, and Mu Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. It happened that Yinglili took out her mobile phone this time, so he took the lead in finding a topic and asked Yinglili.
Yinglili put the phone back into her pocket and said softly: "It's not an important thing. In half a month, Japan will hold a comic festival. I hope that well-known cartoonists in the industry can create a short comic. At the comic festival, the first place will receive a trophy from the comics industry. Although I have been drawing notebooks, I have the same path and am relatively well-known in the comics industry, so the person in charge of the comics industry has always wanted me to participate. However, The Comic Festival needs original short comics, and you know that I don’t understand original plots. I plan to familiarize myself with original plots before participating, so I’m not in a hurry.”
"That's it."
Mu Fan nodded. As a fan artist, Ying Lili has never been familiar with original plots. Even "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" seeks his help. It is a good thing to be able to understand one's own shortcomings and find ways to make up for them little by little.
But the senior sister is different...
Because of the incident at the cafe, Mu Fan has been thinking about Kasumigaoka Shiu. He went to bed after finishing coding on the first night. On the second day, he logged into the official website of Dengeki Bunko and read "Magic" written by Kasumigaoka Shiu. The online version of "Academic Love Guide", but he was shocked to find that Kasumigaoka Shiyu had not updated it last night.
From "Love Metronome" to "Magic Academy Love Guide", Kasumi Shiko stopped updating for the first time.
I saw some confusing information in the book review area about the author discontinuing updates. Of course, many people didn't care. The author also needs a vacation and rest, but they don't care if he takes a break occasionally.
Mu Fan also felt that the senior sister might have been in a bad mood yesterday and stopped updating for the whole day.
There should be an update the next day, right
But the next day, when Mu Fan opened Dengeki Bunko and clicked on "Magic Academy Love Guide", he found that his senior sister had not updated it again.
After waiting for another day, on the third day, the senior finally updated, but when Mu Fan clicked on it and saw the plot, he was stunned.
The senior sister seemed to have been hit hard in her heart. There were typos in the new chapter, and the plot was even more disturbing. It actually said that the heroine left because she didn't trust the hero, and the hero got drunk again. A low-end plot involving the third female lead.
You know, Mu Fan has read "Guide to Love in Magic Academy". The heroine created by Shiyu Kasumigaoka is smart and wise even if she joins Bai Xue. It is impossible for the heroine to have such a low-end IQ problem. , the male protagonist is not stupid, how could he possibly fall in love with the third female protagonist
But it is true that such a heart-wrenching plot was written, which attracted countless readers to complain, and the book review section was almost full of curses.
There are also a few authors in the author group who can't stand the fact that he and Kasumigaoka Shiu have become god-level authors at such a young age. They even took the opportunity to prepare to eliminate Kasumigaoka Shiu's divinity and deliberately invited the navy to brush the comments.
Online comments are most afraid of someone taking the lead. Once they take the lead, someone will follow and scold them. Because of the emergence of trolls, the scolding in the book review area was suddenly uncontrollable. There were hundreds of comments as soon as it was refreshed.
Because Kasumigaoka Shiyu's incident became more and more serious, in the end, Mu Fan accidentally saw some comments on Station C. After clicking on it, he found that the latest chapter of this book was even used by the UP owners of Station C and other websites. Comments titled "The most mentally retarded light novel heroine in history", "Magic Academy Love Guide once again refreshes the lower limit of IQ" and "The most confusing light novel in history"
... ..
In short, a series of titles emerged one after another, and the senior was instantly hailed as Dengeki Bunko's most mentally retarded great author in one day. Some authors even claimed that Kasumi Shiko wrote light novels so casually that she was not worthy of signing the great god's contract.
"Senior sister is not worthy, but an author like you who is jealous of others is. Instead of discussing others, it is better to use that time to develop yourself."
Mu Fan emerged from the group of authors to restore the author, and then closed the computer in annoyance.
Thinking of the senior who cried that day, he lay on the bed a little tired, looked at the white ceiling and sighed in his heart. Although this world is the era when ACG culture is the hottest.
But it is precisely because of being too hot that a well-known Dengeki Bunko writer like Kasumi Shiko once even wrote the anime "Love Metronome". Once a mentally retarded article is written, it will be instantly envied by readers, uploaders and those who are jealous. The authors have given it hot reviews.
In this era, online violence exists, and it is more terrifying than in their time. I don’t know if the senior can withstand this blow.
... ..
Time passed quickly, and Mu Fan clicked on the online version of "Magic Academy Love Guide" on the fourth day.
Not only Mu Fan, but also many readers, online ups, and authors who were eager to try out new chapters or the author's explanations found that "Magic Academy Love Guide" had no updates today.
There are no updates for "Magic Academy Love Guide" on the fifth day.
There are no updates for "Magic Academy Love Guide" on the sixth day.
In the blink of an eye, things have reached the seventh day. Mu Fan looked at the online version of "Magic Academy Love Guide" with a deep expression, but there was still no movement in the latest chapter of the book...
