I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 689

Sawamura Eiri looked at Li Yan for a long time before asking: "That's why you have been so anxious. It's not just about the problem of stalls and bottlenecks. Indeed, light novels are not recognized as a literary work in Japan. Belonging to the position of three religions and nine schools. You have always felt that you are wandering on the edge of orthodoxy. Although you write the story seriously, you have never had any sense of belonging and security, right? "

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, feeling that Ying Lili seemed to be able to understand his difficulties.

Sawamura Eiri showed a rare serious expression at first, but then she showed a look of dissatisfaction and said angrily: "How smoothly did you get to this high position now? In such a situation, you will not let yourself go because of you." It can be solved after improving your writing skills. If you can't write or draw, you will always feel depressed... But it is indeed possible to improve your basic skills to reduce your difficulties. Light novel market There are many books with worse writing skills than yours that sell better than yours. I don’t know what they think. So I hope that my writing will be recognized by everyone and that it will still not be forgotten twenty or thirty years later... …On this point, very few light novels can achieve this. The recognition you require is really big enough…”

Her brush moves slowly, and the characters and storyboards in the painting are constantly clear from the drawing.

Li Yan was silent for a moment, and was glared at by Ying Lili several times. It seemed that he had said something he shouldn't have said, leaving him speechless.

The way Yinglili lowered her head to create seemed not to be relaxed, and there were bitter memories in her expression.

She then didn't want to analyze Li Yan's troubles in depth and said: "In short... if you think you can find the answer in this literary competition, just take part in it. Aren't I also going to participate in the high school painting league? It's just right. Let’s verify together how far your creation can go in the orthodox world, and whether it is really as weak as you think, idiot Li.”

Li Yan did not answer immediately. After a moment, he looked at the comic that Ying Lili was drawing that looked like the H version with a complicated expression, and asked with a complicated expression: "So, how are you preparing for the oil painting now?"

Sawamura Eiri was silent for a while, and the brush held by her slender fingers paused slightly. Her expression was a little strange, the corners of her mouth pursed, and there was an unknown fire in her heart, and she said: "No, it can't be that easy. Ah, that’s a grand prize for formal paintings.”

It sounds like she's still not ready enough for her current creations.

Li Yan understands that Eiri sees Mashiro Shiina as her formidable enemy this time. In terms of sales in the field of comics, Mashiro Shiina's detective works have strong vitality and have been clinging to Eiri's food comics. Food comics are very particular. Authenticity should be said to be the most difficult thing to draw in a comic series. It is not easy to draw delicious food in black and white, and it is quite a test of drawing skills. As for the theme of gourmet duels, there are some paintings but not many. Even though the plot of Yinglili's paintings was completed with his assistance, it was limited to the girls' clothing welfare and school life. There were many characters and it was impossible to add new people to promote the plot. Yinglili recently encountered something. The sales pressure and negative voice are definitely not lower than his.

Compared to Eri, Shiina Mashiro's progress is much slower. As long as she designs clever killing techniques and has excellent characters, one victim in each case can sustain several episodes. Shiina Mashiro's updates have always been relatively stable. .

At the end of the day, Eiriri and Shiina Mashiro are still on opposite sides of the competition here. Yinglili's situation is not much easier than his. He has always thought that Yinglili is versatile in painting and has a good family background, so there should not be too much pressure. Now seeing Yinglili's straight face, he seems to be proven wrong.

Sawamura Eiri noticed the expression on Li Yan's face as he looked at her, and was slightly startled. She gradually narrowed her eyes and asked hesitantly: "What...what's wrong?"

Li Yan thought for a while, showed a slightly apologetic look, and said to Yinglili: "Yinglili... I seem to have said something to you that I shouldn't have said."

Ying Lili's cheeks turned slightly red. She also looked at Li Yan for a while, and finally put down the brush, stood up, coughed dryly, and said with a hint of anger on her face, "Stupid, stupid, it's not the first time for us. When we meet, what should we say and what shouldn’t be said? It’s so annoying to be nagging... But, let’s be honest, there is indeed something wrong with my oil painting... I understand your mood to a certain extent."

Li Yan listened, and the translated meaning probably meant that their friendship didn't need to be so open-minded.

Sawamura Eiri sat opposite Li Yan, and her mood became a little calmer. She put down her brush and stretched. This stretch showed her well-proportioned figure to the fullest, although the bust that makes Eiri the most inferior is indeed in Japan. It was considered an average level, but the taste of a young girl was not reduced at all. With a bit of lazy tears in her eyes, she asked a little shyly: "Hey, Otaku Li, are you really sure you want to participate in such a literary competition? ?”

Li Yan nodded and said: "We have to participate. Although senior sister has given us the choice, I will not let senior sister Yuanzi fight alone under any circumstances. She is a good senior sister."

Eiri thought of the girl with three braids like a cat tail whom she had seen at the University of Tokyo. She immediately said with a straight face, "Yes, yes, I know, that senior sister who is always smiling." beauty……"

Li Yan was slightly stunned, wondering why Ying Lili didn't have a good impression of his senior sister.

"!!"

As she stretched her body, she unexpectedly felt as if she had been shocked by electricity, and her thighs cramped...

She stood up in pain, stood still and pressed her feet.

However, when facing Li Yan, Sawamura Eiri gradually realized that this was not her room, but her home. She had just stretched unscrupulously and made comfortable sounds, and she always felt why she was not aware of this. When she first met Li Yan, she faced him in the eldest lady's live mode. She didn't know when she started to be unable to pretend to be in front of Li Yan, and her image collapsed at a record-breaking speed.

"Cough cough cough." Ying Lili's cheeks turned slightly red, but she didn't feel any embarrassment in her heart.

Sawamura Eiri was silent for a while. They had some quarrels before. In the past two years, she clearly remembered that she had quarreled with the otaku Li three times in total. The second time was the most serious, which directly led to her almost losing this A partner, but surprisingly, after quarreling with each other, she always feels sorry for this partner. No matter what kind of conflicts they have, the two of them can still be partners now, and they have put in a lot of efforts for each other.

Unknowingly, they have known each other for two years...

The corners of Eri Sawamura's mouth raised slightly. She turned around and faced Li Yan, showing a confident smile with her tiger teeth exposed. She said to Li Yan: "Otaku Li, since you have decided to participate, don't think about it anymore." Such dejected words, such hesitant style really doesn’t fit your style, Otaku Li. The Otaku Li I know is the partner who goes forward courageously and has amazing courage to accomplish anything. Otaku Li, you have become Be stronger... I have also encountered very painful things during this period of time, but don't doubt your job. You are a writer. I have always thought so. You are not just another author who writes books to make money. Let's overcome the difficulties together, and I will do whatever it takes to become stronger to keep up with you. I will always be the number one around you."

Li Yan was stunned.

Yinglili, has grown up.

They have been living through the hardships and incomprehension of creation like this all along. Now, with the encouragement of his senior sister and his partner, Li Yan's emotions and fears that have been troubled by his heart for the past two years have gradually loosened.

Li Yan and Ying Lili looked at each other and gradually showed gentle smiles. Between each other, the troubled minds are no longer anxious.

He said with the most sincere emotion in his heart: "Thank you, Yinglili. After I finished the novel, I was too anxious. Thanks to you as a partner by my side."

In March, when the spring break was about to end, Li Yan finally made up his mind and reported his name to his senior sister. After weighing it for two days and thinking alone, Hagimura Suzu, like Li Yan, Finally, all three members of Tokyo Touko Literary Society will participate in the upcoming [Japan Sukemura Prose Awards] together in April.

Chapter 332 Cthulhu’s methods

——[Modification of the middle part of the chapter content]

It's that dream again.

A forest at night was covered with faint white flowers.

Li Yan once learned about this kind of flower on the Internet based on a dream. It is a kind of flower with pink and white petals called [Corn Lily] flower.

In a sea of ​​flowers, Li Yan stood alone in this deep sea of ​​flowers. A strong wind blew under the night sky, and countless petals were flying between the sky and the earth, which was quite beautiful and ethereal.

Where is this place and why does he always dream of this place?

Li Yan, wearing a white coat, stood alone under the moonlight. Just as he was thinking, he was surrounded by a huge silver. Li Yan looked up in shock, and saw an endless stretch of white flowers that stretched like a wave. At the end of the hillside that undulated to the sky, an object as huge as a mountain appeared in the hazy night, with silver tentacles and a body like a twisted planet. Standing in front of it, he looked so small and fragile.

What's this? !

Li Yan looked at it in astonishment, and when his body went cold, he uttered a question.

【clatter! 】

【Da da da……】

【Da da da! 】

"!!!"

Li Yan opened his eyes, sweat broke out on his forehead and body, and he gasped for air.

This dream is really uncomfortable.

He got up and thought sadly.

He heard the sound of rain outside the window. At 7:00 in the morning, there was a hazy spring rain outside. The room is filled with piles of Japanese Mandarin textbooks and dictionaries, as well as dense notes.

After deciding to participate in the literature competition with his senior sister, Li Yan has been studying various knowledge points about literature these days. He has a sense of temporary deja vu. He tried his best to win the victory of his literature department. Fight for it, just like I told Yinglili, do your best.

However, after Li Yan got up, he always felt that something was wrong, but when he looked around, he didn't see any problem.

If there's something strange about it, it's that he once only dreamed of the shadow of that monster, but this time, he was almost in direct contact with the monster that lived in the dream... and the clicking... The sound sounded like a clock, beating faster and faster, and finally woke up Li Yan from his sleep.

In the early morning, the first thing to do is to buy food for the day. Li Yan put on his coat and prepared to go out.

Just as the door was locked, the room behind 506 also opened.

"Eh?"

Li Yan looked at the back with some surprise, it seemed to be Xiao Lin, and then asked: "Senior Xiao Lin, are you back yet..."
