I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 622
"?"
Alice was slightly startled. bug? She quite liked that Li Yan turned the mistakes in the article into bugs, which sounded very pleasing to her ears.
"They are just small bugs and will be fixed soon, but there is no problem with the quality of the story." Alice said with a confident smile on her elegant face.
Li Yan watched for a while and realized that Alice's reading ability and Japanese grammar were indeed quite professional. While confirming the errors, he looked at Alice for a while and said, "That's good, but you can't say it too early. The editor is here But I’m required to write the last volume of the S+ level.”
"S+?"
Alice looked puzzled. She roughly understood the level requirements, but then she realized that each volume of novels was also divided into three, six, and nine levels.
After Li Yan read all the text marks, he nodded and said to Alice: "Just change it as you said, Alice, please send the information to Teacher Kashiwagi, but you didn't sleep last night. Now let’s rest for a few minutes before getting back to work.”
When Alice heard this, she became calm and showed a slightly nonchalant expression. She always felt that Li Yan underestimated her mental strength, but since the boss asked her to rest, she did it well anyway. Anyway, those tasks would be over soon. Can be done.
"By the way, what are these things?"
Li Yan looked at a bag of items on the table and asked.
Alice typed the keyboard of her laptop expressionlessly and said, "This is a specialty brought back from Osaka by Miss Aoyama in Room 605. It was just delivered here."
Ten minutes ago, Alice and Shiina Mashiro officially met for the first time, but Shiina Mashiro only looked at her and walked to the sixth floor calmly.
Being calm, calm, and good at deceiving... these are the qualities necessary for a detective. Alice's provocation method did not work, and no more information was collected from Mashiro Shiina.
Alice had already predicted that her identity would be exposed sooner or later. Such an appearance would be like unlocking the key to the game they had agreed upon.
A game that piques the interest of detectives.
Li Yan took it out and took a look, and found that it was an ancestral soy sauce-flavored takoyaki. It seemed to taste quite good. Nanami Aoyama carefully selected a gift for him.
"Let's try it together at noon."
Li Yan said.
After he tidied up the room and stuffed everything into the refrigerator, when he passed by Alice, he found that she was reading comics. He returned to his seat, opened his laptop, and was about to start completing more than 4,000 words a day. Writing tasks.
After about five or six minutes, Alice spoke and broke the silence here.
"Li, I suddenly read a light novel adapted from a comic book. The subject matter it tells is very popular. The forum's attention has exceeded that of your work." Alice rolled the mouse gear with her hand and said boredly. topic.
"Well, what's the subject?" Li Yan stopped typing on the keyboard and asked.
""The Leisurely Daily Life of Living with a Cute Girl" tells the story of cute lolita with different personalities living in the same house with an uncle in his thirties, with all kinds of help and caring and loving interactions. Nowadays, people are very I like to read this kind of works, and imagine that there are cute girls who continue to give warmth to the uncles and a beautiful life..."
As Alice was talking, she suddenly realized that her own situation was similar to that of Dark Horse. Then she smiled and said: "Isn't there a reality of cohabitation between a strange uncle and a girl here? Maybe it's not out of thin air. Just imagine."
"...I'm not twenty yet." Li Yan glanced at her and said.
"I know, but such themes are much easier to write than passionate themes, right? Beautiful girls, beautiful girls, beautiful girls. The welfare factor of beautiful girls is absolutely indispensable in Japanese comics and light novels. If you write this at the beginning For mainstream themes, you don’t need to work so hard to write. With the same popularity of works, from your entire series of works, we know that designing these is really difficult. Wouldn’t it be great to write works that readers want to see? ?"
Alice turned her notebook over and showed Li Yan a series of reviews of light novels about daily romance.
Li Yan looked at the series of expected titles and was silent for a while. He could see the content just from the cover. The stack of outlines next to him almost emptied out his inspiration. He continued to look at the computer and focused on the screen. .
"Yes, I admit this..."
Li Yan admitted Alice's statement.
"However, I'm just curious. Of course, I prefer to see works suitable for men, women, and children." Alice turned off the comment and said.
"I write novels for the same purpose as everyone else, because I like writing novels and just for the valuable remuneration for each volume."
Li Yan was typing facing the balcony. He was sitting cross-legged in the living room, with the pale scenery of falling snow right in front of him.
"However, this type of subject matter is no longer about love or not. Loli-themed stories use ambiguous stories between beautiful girls and gods, with subtle sexual implications to touch the readers' most fundamental curiosity. If you are not strong enough, Generally speaking, there has always been a good market for such themes."
Li Yan looked at the title of his book and said: "However, the more difficult the work is to write, the more likely it will be retained in the memory of subsequent readers. I believe that no matter how much effort and effort is put into the work, it will definitely be the winner later. minus."
Alice fell silent and looked at this persistent young man.
Li Yan turned his face to look at her and explained calmly: "If I even avoid difficulties when writing novels, I will not take the path of writing light novels. When I am solving the crisis of my family and my own survival, I will always I always hope to write the wonderful story I have thought up for everyone to read. I look forward to everyone's attention and this story to stay in the readers' bookshelf. Therefore, I like to write novels... Hot-blooded light novels are indeed not popular. Sixty percent of the whole story is about battles and conspiracies. Even if such an author who doesn’t listen to readers is so unpopular and ununderstood, I still hope to insist on writing down all the stories that need to be written and have fun doing it... This is also mine. Do your job.”
"..." Alice listened quietly.
In the scenery of falling snow on the balcony, Alice had not heard anything like this for a long time.
"However, having said that, I have also encountered considerable difficulties and bottlenecks. I was almost beaten to death by readers several times... It is difficult to do your job well if you always expect to be popular. So, Alice, if When there are abuses and unkind comments on Twitter, just be patient, we just have to do our job well, and just keep perseverance and optimism to burn a light in the darkness of writing."
Li Yan was a little worried that Alice couldn't stand the incomprehension of new Twitter readers and dissatisfied messages from old readers, so he gave Alice a vaccination first.
"!!"
Alice was slightly startled.
Just now, something flashed past in an instant, but Alice was not caught in time...
※※※
10 a.m., University of Tokyo, Faculty of Science.
When changing classrooms, after thinking for a long time, Hagimura Suzu finally raised her head, showed a smile, and asked: "Li, have you changed your shower gel recently?"
"Well, why do you ask so suddenly?"
Li Yan, who was walking aside, asked.
"Because in the past three or four days, I have heard that you are using the French shower gel Soufflé brand. My mother also likes to use this brand. This brand is very expensive. I never thought that a stingy guy like you would buy it and use it. , I was impressed.”
"……Forehead?"
Li Yan couldn't understand Hagimura Suzu's words at first. He raised his hand and sniffed himself, but his face turned blue.
It does have a slight smell.
Not only was it familiar, but it smelled a little bit subconsciously. He thought about it for a while, and finally thought of the source of this smell.
Doesn’t it smell like Alice’s clothes? !
His and Alice's clothes were put in the wash together, and his bed quilt also had the scent of Alice's body fragrance that could not be dissipated for several days. Not only that, thanks to Alice, he is more willing to take baths recently, always taking the same baths that Alice took. As a result, he smells like that loli girl...
He had never noticed this problem until now, and now he always felt like he had done something...
Something seems wrong... No, it seems that he is already wandering on the edge of the law.
"Oops, someone discovered that there is a teenage girl assistant with a pretty face and a lithe body living in my apartment. They won't call the police or evict me... Do you want to stop taking baths in the future? "
Li Yan had a headache, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
