Just when Guqiao Yingjiu was confused and confused.
At this time, an editor named Kento Nara in Tokyo had just gotten off work.
After returning home, I finally put aside the negative emotions of being scolded by the editor. After dinner, I returned to my room.
Kento Nara couldn't wait to turn on his computer. He first went to Niconico and took a look at the new episodes he had saved for a week. He looked at the time again and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the evening. He couldn't wait to open the light novel website "Become a Light Novelist".
In the past, Kento Nara basically would not log in to this website, because in his opinion, the light novels posted online were all rubbish...
You must know that in Japan, light novel publishing has its own set of procedures, which must be recognized by the editor. If the editor feels that your novel has loopholes or flaws in the logic of the plot, it will basically be rejected and rewritten. Many times, the influence of editors has a huge impact on light novels.
Unless you are already a well-known light novelist, otherwise, when the publishing rights are in the hands of the editor, you still have to listen to the editor honestly.
And generally speaking, editors do no harm.
The same goes for cartoonists.
Most of the light novels published on the website are scumbag works that have been rejected by editors, which is unbearable to look at. This is why Kento Nara doesn't like this website. I'm afraid even the editor won't like this website.
If a novel rejected by an editor is posted on a website and becomes popular, wouldn't it be a slap in the face
Although there are many excellent light novels on the Internet in recent years, such as "The Irregular Student at Magic High School", "Life in a Different World from Zero", "Overlord" and other excellent works, they are all published online. It has been discovered, published, and adapted into comics and animations, but these are only a few.
So for Kento Nara, he likes to log in to some light novel forums and talk to netizens about how to write light novels. While improving himself, he naturally feels refreshed when he sees other people's approval comments.
But now there is a novel that makes him sleepless and sleepless.
This novel is "Reading Tokyo".
When this novel first came out, it was sought after by many people. But Kento Nara sneered at it and even thought it was a troll. After all, he knew things on the Internet all too well.
But when one person recommended it or ten people recommended it, he could remain indifferent. But when the entire forum was conquered by this novel, Kento Nara became curious.
Although Kento Nara did not follow the crowd, he was curious.
So he went to the Internet to find this novel, and then started reading it!
At this sight, I fell in.
The main character's ability in the light novel "Reading Tokyo" is basically the same as that of the protagonist 486 in "Zero - Starting Life in Another World", both being able to read files.
"Zero" is a fantasy novel about another world, and 486 takes this ability to change everything that happens, making bad things better.
But the protagonist of "Reading Tokyo" uses this ability to escape and commit crimes!
And the opening chapter also leaves enough suspense, which is extremely exciting and whets people's appetite. And every time before loading, the protagonist dies in a very miserable way. However, after reading the file after a tragic death, the exhilarating feeling of bringing the murderer to justice made Kento Nara extremely happy.
This feeling surprised him. You must know that few male protagonists in Japanese light novels are extremely smart, courageous and resourceful. Most of them are passionate losers who basically rely on their emotions to get pregnant. Many readers of the novel complained about it, saying that if the protagonist couldn't get pregnant one day, wouldn't he be dead
This is not the case in Huaxia Online. The protagonists are down-to-earth step by step, surviving near death, and slowly improving their strength. This upgrade flow gives readers a sense of immersion in improving their strength along with the protagonist.
But obviously, Kento Nara didn't know. In fact, "Reading Tokyo" also follows a similar upgrade flow. Every time the protagonist dies, he will become more mature and his character will change. This change is not surprising, but it can make readers empathize. This is actually a kind of growth and an upgrade flow. And every time after the protagonist dies, loading the save file and then going to counterattack, isn't it also a form of pretending to be a slap in the face
So this is one of the reasons why "Reading Tokyo" is so popular. We have seen too many useless protagonists who rely on their passion to become popular. When we look at the protagonist of "Reading Tokyo", readers will sigh that finally a new one is here. This is a novel where the protagonist has a normal IQ, is not a virgin, and does not have a harem.
"Finally updated!" When Kento Nara opened the light novel website, he breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that Mr. Kotondera took nearly a week off, but the readers did not complain. After all, Mr. Kotondera used to write 10,000 words a day. , this tentacle-like coding speed simply astounds readers. You must know that some light novelists cannot publish two volumes a year.
What about Teacher Liushi? This is almost the end of the third volume, and the fourth volume is about to begin.
How long has it been? It seems that it will only take about a month.
Three hundred thousand words in one month.
If this book is not popular, God cannot tolerate it.
Of course, "Reading Tokyo" still relies on quality to win. With both quantity and quality, this light novel is simply unparalleled, eclipsing other light novels.
So what happened to taking a week off? Some readers also hope that Mr. Yansi will not write too fast, otherwise the quality will deteriorate.
However, a week was too difficult, so when Kotondera-sensei updated, Nara Kento was overjoyed. At this time, he is just a reader, not an editor.
"Twenty thousand words!?"
When he saw that Mr. Kotondera had updated 20,000 words in one breath, Nara Kento was ecstatic. It seemed that he would have a full meal tonight.
Thinking about it, Kento Nara continued reading.
In the first few chapters, Mr. Kotondera wrote that the protagonist Manatsu Kitajima suffered a lot of torture due to her ability to read files, and after reading files, her mentality has changed, forming a distorted personality and an antisocial personality. To be honest, this worries Nara Kento.
Of course, he is not worried about whether the character of the protagonist will cause the government to ban the novel. Even if you write about the protagonist killing the Prime Minister in the novel, it will be fine... What he is worried about is whether Teacher Kotondera will fail in writing. Although the protagonist's change comes naturally, what Kento Nara wants to see is that the protagonist uses the ability to read files to hone himself. Although his hands are stained with blood, there is still light in his heart.
In this way, even if it is a light novel, the purpose of this light novel will be very profound when it is aimed at the general public. Even if it can spark social discussion, this novel will definitely become a phenomenal light novel.
Now the protagonist has a distorted personality and is extremely arrogant even when facing the police. He only feels a sense of sadness.
Although the ability to read files is a golden finger. But it also drove the protagonist Kitajima Manatsu crazy, and Chiba Shiori sometimes described the protagonist's psychology in her writing.
Kitajima Manatsu sometimes thinks that it would be great if she could just die.
The experience of the protagonist Manatsu Kitajima was beautifully portrayed by Chiba Shiori. Many readers watched the story along the way and felt the same way after deeply immersing themselves in it.
So...if in future novels, the protagonist Kitajima Manatsu has such an antisocial personality, I'm afraid readers will feel uncomfortable.
With this thought in mind, Kento Nara continued to read.
