I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 409

Under the candlelight, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who looked calm, and Eiri, who covered her face and shook her head, almost formed a sharp contrast.

"Teacher, since it is a rule, you should follow the rules, right?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Li Yan quietly under the candlelight and asked.

"...Okay then." Li Yan reluctantly agreed.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was looking forward to this competition even more. Even her expectation for victory was not so strong before. Being able to learn about the series of love stories compiled by Li Yan in this informal "stage", It is undoubtedly a surprise.

※※※

"Then, let me tell you the first short story." Kasumigaoka Shiyu sat cross-legged on the cushion in the center, bowed slightly to the people around her, and said.

This kind of opening remarks, like Japanese rakugo, made everyone feel quite formal.

"The name of the story is "Boys and Girls on the Field and Skyline"."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the Koshigaya sisters and others and said.

Suddenly, Fujinomiya Kiumi, the Koshitani sisters and others all had their eyes lit up, and they all thought this name was very interesting.

"It's really amazing. Kasumigaoka took the first step to start writing novels by grasping the mainstream perspective of the market. He also understood that they didn't know much about the customs and customs in the city, so he directly wrote it in a rural setting. "

Eiri looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu and thought quietly to herself.

"After school, the scenery that greets Sai-kun is always a gentle sky. Whether it's sunny, rainy, or even snowing, the scenery when you go home is always so long and peaceful..."

"After graduating from high school, leaving the countryside and the endless rice fields is the dream of this young man who does not intend to give in. However, he does not have much extraordinary talent and may not even be able to pass the college entrance examination. However, , just at the beginning of the new semester, a girl who transferred from the city came to the class."

"The girl's face is quite beautiful. She is a student from Yokohama. Her personality is a bit serious and old-fashioned. Judging from her appearance, she seems to come from a wealthy family..."

Wonderful stories always have one characteristic, which is to create an interesting contradiction.

Li Yan is well aware of this routine. Whether it is a Chinese or foreign novel, there are two sentences that are very useful. One is "No book can be written without contradictions". Stories always need contradictions. Ordinary contradictions are almost not a story, no matter what Whether it is a daily-oriented novel or a combat novel, the purpose is to solve one conflict after another and continue the plot. Human beings like to find a kind of reverie and resonance in books.

There is another sentence, "Empathy". Kasumigaoka Shiu's opening narration directly integrates three important backgrounds into the story, which is undoubtedly a very clever move. The background elements of the countryside and the city, the ideological conflicts between boys and girls, and the special writing method that leaves suspense at the beginning, this is how the story unfolds better.

The setting of the story is very important, especially the beginning. It is a simple and clear way to unfold the characters, settings, and suspense. This is the successful beginning of the novel. However, many new writers cannot even grasp the writing method of this beginning clearly. Many shoddy light novel stories tend to focus more on explosive writing at the beginning, but without the reader starting to understand what the book is about, it becomes impossible to read it from the beginning.

In short, the beginning of a story that is beautiful and makes people understand what it is about can change in many ways, but it always stays true to its origin.

Immediately afterwards, Kasumigaoka Shiyu taught the second classic writing method.

"After experiencing such a simple but mutual understanding of each other, Saai-kun, who lives in the countryside, is the only false friend that Suzuki, who is afraid of life and serious, trusts, so Suzuki gradually began to make a little fuss about things that he didn't understand in the countryside. Ask Mr. Sai..."

After Kasumigaoka Shiu perfectly arranged the front end of the story and the plot of the first encounter, he began to focus on describing the interesting anecdotes about urban girls who do not understand the daily life in the countryside as the details of the story.

For example, the redness and swelling after being stung by an insect is considered to be a skin allergy, and the saplings in the rice fields are considered to be leeks. This series of daily life stories that enrich the daily life and personality is almost like watching a movie, watching these two people whose living environments are far apart. The two of them walked step by step, describing the beauty and fun of the countryside vividly, almost like a movie, presented in front of everyone's eyes...

The description of details is also the top priority of the novel. No book can bring out the interesting content of the setting like an outline. The success or failure lies in the writing style and ideas, and the ability to "write" the beauty of the countryside and the city. The complexity of life and the contradictions in people's hearts are extremely difficult, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu is able to do it with ease.

This ability to tell emotional plots at will makes even Li Yan a little embarrassed. It's really amazing.

Everyone has ideas for stories, and they may be really interesting, but if the ideas and creativity are not processed properly, no matter how good the gold is, it will become a piece of scrap metal instead of a handicraft. Therefore, the writer is not so much creating, but Rather, it is a processor of stories.

As a result, a turning point soon began. The differences between family and environment that had been foreshadowed before began to show up. The young man named Sai finally saw his own state of mind clearly. The city he once longed for seemed to have become the most terrifying battlefield in his eyes. In order to take back Suzuki who was forcibly brought back by a wealthy family, the power of the countryside and his own efforts sublimated the story. In the end, the rural school story continued. It seemed that nothing had changed, but the story made people feel Such a souvenir...

"So, that's the end of the story, thank you all."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu bowed slightly and said thanks.

"..."

"..."

"No more, there should be a follow-up, and a section, right?!"

Immediately, among all the audience members who were immersed in listening, the first one to break the silence was Koshigaya Natsumi. She showed an extremely reluctant look and asked nervously.

"After all, it is a short story, and the story ends here." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said.

"...I think you should just write this material into the next book. It's not over yet, right?" Ying Lili was clearly fascinated by what she heard. She had just managed to pick it up after seeing it. Continue to start the fragment of life, but "turn" the next page, and it ends unexpectedly, just like being cut in half.

"Really? If I write it, will Sawamura-san want to buy my book?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu glanced at her and asked.

"Buy, buy, buy, I'll pay for it!" Ying Lili was a little reluctant, but still said with a somewhat helpless and annoyed expression.

"It's really amazing..." Fujinomiya thought in horror.

It should be said that she is like a professional creator. If this story was published as a novel, she might actually buy the whole set.

"It's a wonderful story, but it is a short story after all. If you are interested in the future, you can ask Kasumigaoka-san to continue writing it, then..."

Fujinomiya Kimi smiled, looked at Li Yan, and said, "It's the teacher's turn to fight back. Can the teacher tell a story that surpasses that of Kasumigaoka-san?"

"..."

Li Yan was silent, and Ying Lili on the side stared at Li Yan with a complicated expression with worried eyes, always feeling a little hung up.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu stood up and waited to see what the love novel written by Li Yan would be like...

Then, Li Yan hesitated for a moment before sitting on the soft cushion. As a result, he felt the heat on the soft cushion. Thinking that this was the residual heat of the beautiful girl, Li Yan felt a little uncomfortable sitting there, feeling that he was too easily distracted.

"Ahem..."

Li Yan looked at them, bowed slightly and said, "My story is called "Little God"."

"Little god?" Yue Gu Xiaoju was slightly startled and asked.

"Isn't it a love story?" Natsumi Koshitani asked, holding her cheeks.

"But I always think it's a cute name." Ichijo Hotaru said with a smile.

Kang Na's face darkened, she raised her head and looked at Li Yan, and said, "You're not talking about Jehovah, are you?"

"No, no, no, it's a god from a Japanese shrine. I want to tell a story using Japanese local culture." Li Yan shook his head and explained.

"..." Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Li Yan in confusion. What kind of story was he planning to tell?

"A serious traffic accident occurred on a highway in a bustling city."

Li Yan began to speak.

"A female junior high school student named Tsuruta accidentally got into a car accident while rushing to take the final exam for the second grade of junior high school. The reason was because Tsuruta saw a passing kitten and in desperation, tried to get out of the car's wheel. He rescued the kitten and was seriously injured..." Li Yan said as he seemed to be thinking about it.

Renka Miyauchi, the Koshigaya sisters and others felt that this opening was a bit too sad, and they all looked serious.

"Tsuruda's injuries were serious and he was sent to the hospital. However, a few days later, Tsuruta woke up... But the moment she woke up, she saw her body floating in the air. I saw myself lying on a white hospital bed, relying only on medical equipment to sustain life..."

Li Yan's third sentence opened the core of the story. In an instant, the flavor of the story was a little different, causing everyone to pay attention.
