"Don't get me wrong, I'm just speaking from my impressions as a reader, not as an editor-in-chief."
Seeing the expressions of the editors, Zong Zao could see what they were thinking, so he explained.
"This novel reminds me personally of the feeling of reading that novel ten years ago... As the editor-in-chief, I can only say that this work is quite well written so far, and it is likely to become a popular novel. As for whether it will be a big It's hot, it depends on luck."
The editors suddenly realized.
Even if it is a blockbuster work, whether it can become a hit is not entirely based on the quality of the work, but a luck factor, more precisely, it is luck.
If the fortune is not good, even if it is a work of good quality, it will not be very popular. On the contrary, if the fortune is strong, even works of average quality will become popular works.
In other words, there are works that hit the street inexplicably, and some that are inexplicably popular. The so-called light novel market is such a strange thing.
This is true for popular works, let alone legendary works.
Even the editor-in-chief Hattori, who has been in this industry for decades and has witnessed the development of light novels to the level it is today, cannot conclude that this will be a hit or even a legend after reading a few pages of the manuscript.
"Miss Yoshizawa, tell me about the novel... As for you, why are you still standing here? Go and do your work!"
The editor-in-chief spoke, and all the editors scattered.
Saki explained the situation to Sozo.
"I don't want to publish 'Handsome', but I want to publish this 'Brother Story'."
Zong Zuo murmured, looked at the screen again, and thought seriously.
"As far as the quality of the existing manuscript is concerned, yes. But after all, the final conclusion can only be made after reading the complete manuscript."
"Miss Yoshizawa... just tell him, as long as he completes the whole book with this quality and submits it here, and if we pass the review, we will give him the contract with the highest salary for newcomers, and promise to publish the book as soon as possible!"
After thinking about it, the editor-in-chief Hattori said with a flash of light.
…
Seiji received another call from Editor Yoshizawa during his lunch break.
Although the manuscript has not been finished yet, but the word count is quite a lot, it takes time to read all of them. So he thought that the other party would call again in the afternoon or even at night, but he didn't expect to call during the lunch break.
Sahi spoke highly of the manuscript on the phone, and said that if it is finished with this quality, it will be signed with the best treatment for newcomers, and the book will be published as quickly as possible.
Seiji was happy to receive a high evaluation, and also felt the sincerity of the other party, so he agreed.
Afterwards, he immediately called to tell Xiaoshi the good news.
Kagura Shi was very happy after hearing it, saying that this was a natural result.
"Brother Seiji's novel is the best!"
"No, I didn't just write it, we created it together!"
Seiji hoped that Xiaoshi would be more proud of herself instead of taking all the credit on him.
After talking on the phone with his step-sister, Seiji told Mika and Chiaki who were having lunch together... Kaori wasn't with them this time.
Both Meijia and Qianqiu congratulated "Brother Story" for being recognized by professional editors, and looked forward to seeing the finished draft even more.
After school.
Seiji and the others went to the library again to participate in the drama club study session.
Kazama, who fainted yesterday, did not show up.
The members asked Deputy Minister Xin Nai about his specific situation.
"Student Kazama didn't say why he fainted, but he just thanked me, and asked me to thank Yuan Ye and Ruoye who sent him to the infirmary, and said that he should not care about him." Xin Nai said, "As for today, he asked for leave. Rest at home and did not come to school."
As a result, I don't know what the real reason is.
Could it really be the "truth" mentioned yesterday
Seiji and the others and the members showed subtle expressions.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Xin Nai felt a little strange.
Everyone looked at Nakajima.
"The cruel truth should not be told repeatedly, and let it disappear in the darkness." Nakajima Tomo said in a deep tone.
Get lost! Are you afraid of the "Ghost Face" Vice Minister's complaints
Everyone complained in their hearts.
Xinnai: "?"
"Brother Nakajima, what are you talking about?"
"Don't worry, Vice Minister, it's just a joke." Qianqiu said, "Let's start learning now."
Xin Nai looked a little concerned, but the school girl had already said so, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone started to study.
Seiji was writing novels again. When Mika and Kaori ask questions, I guide them.
Time passed so smoothly.
After the study session is over.
Saying goodbye to Chiaki and Kaori, Seiji and Mika walked back to the apartment together with Kaede Mai they met when leaving school.
During the period, I walked to an intersection and saw a boy walking a little shaky on the opposite side.
It's Fengjian Haoyuan.
Seiji recognized him.
The "Prince of Ice" is now twice as pale as yesterday. His face is as white as paper, his eyes are darkened, and he looks very sluggish. In addition, he walks unsteadily, as if he has been hollowed out. generally.
He also walked to the intersection, not paying attention to the red light, and walked into the road without stopping.
A truck speeds by.
The truck driver suddenly noticed a pedestrian coming out and slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.
Just as they were about to collide, a figure rushed over at an extremely fast speed and dragged the boy with blue curly hair to the side of the road! Just in time to avoid the head of the car.
"Qingwu!?" "Yuano-kun!?"
Meijia and Fengwu's exclamation sounded.
Passers-by were also shocked by this scene.
The truck driver broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately it didn't hit.
"Bastard! Don't you look at red lights!? Do you want to die!!?"
The middle-aged driver, who had lingering fear and became angry because of it, leaned out of the car window and cursed.
Then he drove again in annoyance and left the scene quickly.
Seiji glanced at the truck, and then at the classmate he had rescued.
"Are you alright, Kazama-san?"
Kazama Haoyuan looked blank, as if he hadn't realized what happened.
"You didn't pay attention to the red light just now, and you almost got hit." Seiji said.
Only then did Kazama react, and blinked his eyes.
"You are... classmate Yuan Ye... thank you for saving me." He thanked weakly, lowering his eyes, "I... accidentally..."
Seeing the other party's dejected face, Seiji frowned.
At this moment, the green light turned on, and Mei Jia and Feng Wu hurried over.
"Qingwu..." "Yuano-kun..."
The twintail girl and the blond beauty had worried expressions on their faces.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Seiji smiled at them.
Seeing that he seemed to be fine, the two women were completely relieved.
"Really, rushing out suddenly...it's scary!" Mei Jia said in a tone of complaint.
Feng Wu didn't say anything, but her eyes flickered.
"Sorry to scare you."
Seiji said sincerely, then looked at Kazama again.
"Student Kazama, your complexion is really bad, you can't even walk well, and your spirit is so distracted... What happened?"
