I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 304

As a result, Uesugiyan's text message was quickly replied.

"Hmm, it seems that Mr. Uesugi has almost finished writing. He replied so quickly. Have you sent it yet?" Kagurazaka Airis smiled and opened the text message.

——[Uesugi En: The seventh volume has been scrapped. I will start rewriting it all today. I will send the settings to Eiri later and ask Eiri to redesign the illustrations. Sorry, Miss Kagurazaka, I will definitely be able to get it out. of. 】

"..."

Kagurazaka Airi looked at this text message blankly, and almost fainted at that time.

"Eh...Eh?! Wait, wait, Mr. Uesugi, there are only a few days left. No, don't mess around! I have to redraw the illustrations and so on. The most important thing is to get it next Wednesday. I’m going to print, is this really in time, and can I really guarantee the quality of the seventh volume?!”

Kagurazaka Iris hugged her head like crazy and fell into confusion...

Chapter 180 The Miracle of Girls

In some dim rooms, the lights are still bright, the sound of ticking typing is intermittent, and the notebooks that provide reference materials for writing are also flipped through, and the progress of writing has been carried out in an orderly manner.

Although a lot of time and energy was spent, the actual number of words completed was not many. On the one hand, it was revision and revision, and on the other hand, it was deliberation. In the intermittent writing, I finally wrote about more than 20,000 words of story content. Probably, one-sixth of the content has been written.

"Huh... I'm a little dizzy."

Li Yan wiped his eyes, lay on the floor, couldn't help but take a rest, and thought to himself in distress.

He didn't know how long he had been writing, but he vaguely saw the other side of the balcony, and there seemed to be hazy signs of dawn, as if he had stayed up all night, and it was probably past five in the morning.

Li Yan reacted with some surprise. He had completely forgotten the concept of time for a while and simply kept writing. Who knew that time had already reached this moment, and tomorrow... no, it was Shiina Mashiro and Shiina Mashiro again at ten o'clock this morning. Nanami Aoyama's school festival.

"It's better to spare me..." Li Yan thought to himself with a melancholy look on his face.

He got up again and kept the manuscript carefully. At the same time, he also realized that Gabriel, who had been playing with the handheld device here, seemed to have gone back to her room, and he was completely unaware of it. At this moment, everything in the house and around was quiet.

However, a powerful wind blew suddenly from the window. When Li Yan looked over, a huge evil dragon soared into the sky, flying towards the Tokyo market. Go, and there is a little white dragon following behind. It looks like the housewife Thor is taking Kangna to buy groceries.

"Okay, let's take a little rest. As for time, I'll start writing again at about eight o'clock. Three hours of sleep will be somewhat helpful."

Li Yan's tired eyes looked at the unique view of the one-yuan apartment, and he thought silently.

Unconsciously, he looked at the computer again, and then couldn't help but said: "Editing system, open..."

It was just one word "start" before it stopped. He suddenly realized that he should not open the editing system at this moment. A student who always follows the teacher to study and is graded will never be able to get in front of the teacher. He must You must fully use the writing skills and inspiration refining abilities you have learned so far to write works without ratings, and finally let your ultimate consciousness at this moment break through your previous writing standards.

At the table, the cup of tea brewed with cheap tea leaves sold to him by the landlady had long since cooled down. Li Yan stood up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then took a nap on the tatami in the living room. His body was already exhausted, so after sleeping on it For a moment, he quickly fell into sleep.

I don’t know how long time passed. In the early morning of the next day, rays of sunshine shone in the warm room. In the early morning in May, the wind carried the smell of rain and dust. It was very comfortable to sleep at this moment. Li Yan quietly covered his head. As he was sleeping on the small blanket, suddenly, the doorbell rang again.

[Ding dong! 】

【Ding dong, ding dong...】

The doorbell echoed several times, causing Li Yan to wake up from his dream. He seemed to be exhausted. When he woke up, he felt extremely annoyed. He opened his bloodshot eyes that were lack of sleep, got up, and checked the time on his phone. , it was only 6:40, and I slept for exactly an hour.

Who was disturbing people's dreams? Li Yan went to open the door angrily, but as soon as he opened the door, the burning anger was immediately blown away by the chill of the morning wind.

"Excuse me, Mr. Uesugi." Kagurazaka Iris was wearing work clothes and carrying a work bag, then smiled slightly and said hello.

"...Isn't this the editor? Why are you here?" Li Yan was dumbfounded. Although he knew that this editor must be here for his rewriting, he still didn't want to meet him now. The attack on Kagurazaka Iris.

"My cell phone was turned off all night long. It seemed that a certain person didn't want to hear my opinion, so I had to come directly to him to discuss it."

Kagurazaka Iris's eyes became slightly sharper. She originally had a somewhat neutral short hair and clothes. At this moment, her temperament was more like that of a demonic strong woman. She showed a sinister smile and asked: "What are you doing?"

"No, I didn't do anything..." Li Yan turned away secretly and responded in a low voice.

"Ahem, it's not convenient to talk here. How about letting me in and buying me a glass of water?" Kagurazaka Iris looked around and then suggested.

"Okay, come in, Miss Kagurazaka." Li Yan understood that it was already past six o'clock, and many office workers were indeed starting to go out. It was indeed not good to talk about sensitive topics in the corridor like this. So he stepped aside and invited his editor in.

In the house, Kagurazaka Iris placed a cup of warm water with lemon in front of the table. As a result, Kagurazaka also saw Li Yan’s office laptop and the cup of tea. Overall, it seemed that Li Yan was writing all night .

"Why bother? You've obviously finished writing a volume, but you changed your mind again. Are you confident that the second novel you write will be more interesting than the first one?" Kagurazaka Iris asked. He took a sip of warm water, then looked at Li Yan and asked.

"Of course. I personally think it would be more interesting to write it this way, so I wanted to take a gamble."

Li Yan was sitting across from him. Judging from his expression, Li Yan was under a lot of pressure. He said, "I don't know what the difference between the plot arrangement for the first time and the rewriting of the plot after I wrote it is." The one that readers like more is sometimes hard to say. What I like may not be accepted by readers. But I always feel that readers should like it, so I decided to rewrite it."

"That's it, Mr. Uesugi, but I am absolutely assured of your writing level. Whether it is the first rewrite or the second rewrite, I think the quality can be guaranteed. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it at the beginning. Link your career future to your work, hehe, editors must first believe in their own authors."

Kagurazaka Iris said with a smile.

"...That's too exaggerated, Miss Kagurazaka." Li Yan said, feeling a little flattered.

"No, these are all true. Why do you think Sanhe Bunko would entrust me with the management of your, Kasumi Shiko's, and Qianju's works? It's because I dare to do things that many editors dare not do. ."

Kagurazaka Iris held the warm water glass in both hands and said with a faint smile: "It was the same case that I deliberately caused a competition between you and Mr. Kasumi Shiko. If it were other editors, they would probably be charged with deliberate provocation, but I My mission is not to break up the fight, but to fully tap your potential. I know you and Teacher Kasumi Shiko. If I didn’t know that the result of the competition would be that you would finally understand each other and reconcile, I wouldn’t be so stupid. There is a problem with the two generals in our hands."

"..."

Li Yan looked at Kagurazaka Iris with some surprise. He had already understood the first point of Kagurazaka Iris, but the second point did not seem to be just a casual talk of Kagurazaka Iris. After all, she had also been promoting Qianshou. The normal relationship between Murasaki and Izumi Masamune.

"It's just that what I'm worried about is not the quality of your rewriting, but the time. This phenomenon is common to many authors. After finishing an article, I suddenly felt that it would be more interesting if it was written like this. So you constantly overturn the story you wrote before and rewrite it again, but excessive repetitive writing will cause mental fatigue. Many people just give up writing because they are frustrated that they cannot write the best work. Did you know this?"

Kagurazaka Iris asked with a serious expression.

"I know."

"Furthermore, your light novel is not serialized online, but published directly. Kashiwagi-sensei's illustrations have already been drawn. If she draws them again now, it's hard to say whether she can cope with it. So, what I mean is , you are still prepared to give me the first draft as insurance. If you can really come up with the second revised version, and I think your second version is better, I will get the second one. Publishing, this is the best way for you and the company, how about it?"

"No, Miss Kagurazaka."

"Eh... why, why?"

Kagurazaka Iris was slightly startled and asked.

"Because since I decided to rewrite the revised version, my inspiration has already followed the rewritten part. Even if I were to continue writing the work I wrote the first time, I wouldn't be able to write the last 20% of that paragraph... …”

Li Yan explained helplessly: "This is what writing is like. Once you start writing, the characters in the text will move on their own. It is not something that the author can tamper with and control at will. Since the beginning of the story has been changed, they will The development of the story will naturally be different, so the first draft became a waste.”

"Teacher Uesugi..." Kagurazaka Airis reacted, saying this, it is indeed the case, the so-called novelist or cartoonist are all one-sided and can't adapt to the story.

"So, as soon as the arrow is shot, it is guaranteed to hit the red heart. Miss Kagurazaka, don't worry, I will write the first draft even if I don't sleep for a few days." Li Yan said with a smile.

Kagurazaka Iris looked at Li Yan's determination. She exhaled a little and then said: "... Huh, what else can I do? I can only believe you. Don't worry. Since you said so, I just It can go on like this, but I don’t plan to delay the publication time, because it’s only a few days away. Announcement like this will do too much harm to your reputation. Please try your best to write it out..."

She thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "By the way, why don't I just stay here and watch you write. I'll treat you to takeout for all three meals, and help you get enough writing time. That's it. .”

"Uh, wait a minute, how is this okay? I'll... this afternoon..."

Li Yan immediately wanted to stop Kagurazaka Iris's decision, but just after he finished speaking his objection, he saw Kagurazaka Iris's smile gradually becoming colder, so he wisely stopped the topic.
