"'Brother Story'."
Seiji said the title of the book in a confident tone.
"This name... is not as attractive as 'If you don't become a handsome guy or die'." Sahie commented, "I hope its content is as good as you said."
"You'll know it after reading it." Seiji smiled, "I'll call home now and ask Xiaoshi... family to send you a manuscript."
"Okay, I'll wait."
The phone hangs up.
Seiji immediately called Xiaoshi and asked her to operate the computer and send a finished manuscript to Editor Yoshizawa.
Then there is the waiting.
He believes that the other party will definitely call again within today!
Saki soon received the manuscript that Harano Kiyogo said.
She read quickly at once.
As a professional fiction editor, Yoshizawa Saki has strict standards in reviewing manuscripts.
She will simply discard works that cannot attract readers within a certain word count, no matter who the author is.
And if a work can let her see from the beginning to the end, then this work is basically a pass, and she will make an objective evaluation of the impression.
Yuanye's "handsome" is to ask her to read short stories that are "quite charming" and highly rated after she read them quickly.
There are actually very few submitted novels that can make her give such an evaluation after reading it once!
Yoshizawa Saki's strict review of manuscripts is one of the best in the editorial department of Thunder Library.
When she was still a newcomer, she had the amazing deeds of telling young authors who had published popular works to tears. After becoming familiar with the business, her improved reviewing level resulted in her being dubbed the exaggerated nickname of "Wall of Sighs".
Almost all colleagues have witnessed her sternly rejecting newcomers' submissions, knocking them out of their wits and even leaving in tears.
Even old authors would feel apprehensive when asked her to review their manuscripts, and some even explicitly asked the editorial department not to let her review their own manuscripts.
The editor-in-chief has also told her more than once that she should be "gentle" to the authors and don't hit them badly.
In short, the title of "Wall of Sighs" is by no means a joke. If the submitted manuscript can pass through this "wall" beautifully, it is a kind of honor in the author's circle, second only to the personal appreciation of the editor-in-chief.
Manuscripts that have passed the "wall" will have pretty good results after publication or after publication, generally better than manuscripts that have not passed the "wall". So even though this female editor is always complained by the authors for being too strict, she is still a talent valued by the editorial department.
Colleagues are convinced of her ability, and think that it will be a matter of time before she becomes the editorial team leader, and when she becomes the editorial team leader depends on luck... the luck of getting a good manuscript.
Yoshizawa Saki has handled quite a few excellent works, but she has not yet had a hit, lacking the kind of qualifications that make people believe as soon as they hear it. That is to say, you are stepping on the dividing line between an excellent editor and a famous editor, and you are only one step away.
Sashi herself doesn't care much about these things.
Now she is just reviewing manuscripts according to her own standards as usual.
After reading a page quickly, her eyes froze for a moment.
Instead of looking at the next page, I pulled back to the beginning and started to read carefully again!
It's something she's never done.
Sahi herself didn't realize this, because at this moment, her mind was completely occupied by the novel in front of her.
completely different.
The writing style of this novel is completely different from "Handsome", but it's just as good... no, it's even better!
The quality of the text is very high, and compared with "handsome", the most prominent advantage is "innovation"!
At least Sahi found it very novel, and felt that she had never seen a light novel of this style before.
At first glance, it looks like an article about a daily romantic comedy, but it reveals a mysterious and spiritual atmosphere, and it also contains a touch of thickness and even a touch of elegance.
"Monster, weird, strange, strange... which word do you prefer brother?"
"The world is not black and white, but black and white exists and will always exist."
"The one who wears the mask is a human, and the one who doesn't wear a mask is a non-human."
"Sister, don't run around, bad things will happen."
…
Saki was fascinated by such words.
When she read it quickly, she felt a strong fascination.
When she read it carefully, she was fascinated and fell into it.
She was so fascinated that when her colleague called her, she didn't hear her at all, and her eyes staring at the screen didn't shift a bit.
This female colleague wondered, what is it that makes the famous "Wall of Sighs" look so engrossed
Curious, she moved closer and looked at the screen from beside Saki.
It was a novel... She read it and was hooked too.
Who wrote this novel
Amazing.
Great!
This female colleague forgot what she was going to do at the beginning, so she stayed next to Saki and watched it with her.
This has attracted the attention of other colleagues.
One editor after another leaned closer, looked at the screen curiously, and were also attracted.
When the editor-in-chief walked into the office, he was surprised to see so many editors gathered in one place.
what happened
he walked over.
"What are you doing?"
no response.
The editor-in-chief frowned, and said the same thing in a higher volume.
Only then did the editors come back to their senses, and they were a little embarrassed when they noticed their boss standing by.
"Editor-in-chief, we are reading a novel... This novel is very good! The author is..."
The editors all looked at Saki.
"The author is Kenmoto Kishibe." Saki said Harano Seigo's pen name.
"Xianyuan Kishibe... the one who wrote 'Handsome'?"
"It's him!? The writing style is very different from 'handsome'!"
"Is it possible to change the style of the text? Or is this his real style!?"
A pure newcomer, his first short story was ranked sixth in the readers' replies.
The name Kishi Bian Xianyuan has been remembered by the editors of the entire editorial department because of this outstanding achievement.
This could be a terrific newcomer... No, correct me, this is a terrific newcomer!
It is certain that his work will be a hit!
All the editors who have read the manuscript just now think so.
How long has it been since a novel that allows so many editors to squeeze in front of one screen to read
The new editors don't have this kind of memory at all, and the editors who work longer have it... At least five years have passed, right
"let me see."
The editor-in-chief said in a deep voice.
Sahi got up to give up her seat and asked the editor-in-chief to sit down and watch.
The editor-in-chief is Sozo Hattori. He is about fifty years old, with gray hair and obvious wrinkles. He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses with deep gray eyes behind the lenses.
He pulled the document to the beginning, read it, and his eyes became sharp instantly.
Read a page, two pages, three pages...
He didn't read on, but took off his glasses and wiped his eyes.
"Ten years... The last time I saw this feeling in a light novel was ten years ago."
After putting on his glasses again, Zongzo sighed.
Ten years ago... Could it be that work! ? The editors were shocked.
They thought this novel was very good, but they didn't expect the editor-in-chief Hattori to compare it with the work ten years ago.
That not only set off an upsurge in Sakurajima, but also spread to many other countries and regions, creating a legendary work of an era!
