Depressed writers, the whole network begs you to stop writing

Chapter 31 The second selection of light novels begins!

After finishing today’s update.

Nanabahara Yu became a qualified poop scooper and took a box of canned milk cakes specially made for cats from the cabinet.

Although the big white cat usually lies lazily on the sofa, he is very active when eating.

As soon as Nanabahara Yu took out the can of milk cake, he ran over directly.

She rubbed his trousers eagerly, looking like "I'm not active in eating, I have a brain problem."

Nanahara Yu picked it up angrily.

He pinched it vigorously, as if he was going to make it bald.

He let the big white cat know——

There is no free lunch in the world, and being a sugar daddy is not that easy either!

The price of being a sugar daddy is to be bald! ! !

It lasted for quite a while.

Until Xiao Hei gave a plaintive "meow", as if he could no longer do it.

Only then did Nanahara Yu put it down with satisfaction.

He washed his hands and took out a box of instant lunch boxes from the refrigerator.

I bought this at a discount from the store downstairs and can be eaten simply by heating it up.

Although I'm a little tired of it.

But due to his limited financial resources, life does not allow him to eat better.

He took another look at the can of milk cake that the big white cat was eating.

It's obviously just a cat, but it actually eats better than this rich man.

"So, hurry up and become a girl to repay me!"

Qin Yuan's eyes turned resentful.

...

Nanabahara Yu was eating when he suddenly received a call from the editor-in-chief of Dengeki Bunko, Kamisaka Raku Iris.

As soon as I answered the call, I heard her somewhat helpless voice:

"Other writers have come offline, are you really not coming?"

Qi Yuan said helplessly:

"My home is too far away from Tokyo, and I still have to go to school."

In fact, he had no money to buy a ticket.

His money was barely enough to live on, and it didn't support him traveling to Tokyo.

Kamisaka Raku was obviously a little regretful.

Dengeki Bunko hosts this show.

In fact, it is also giving the author himself a chance to publicize.

Other debuting authors were eager to get the job, but to their surprise, Nanabahara Yu chose to refuse.

This reminded her of a person, Qianju Cunzheng.

The light novel author whose debut novel "Phantom Knife" won the Dengeki Grand Prize with unanimous votes and eventually sold 10 million copies.

It seems that she did not participate in the promotion at the beginning, and the reason was that her home was too far from Tokyo.

They are really the same kind of people.

It must be fun to have the opportunity to introduce them to each other, right?

Kamisaka Raku Iris's mind has wandered to who knows where.

"...Editor-in-Chief Kamisaka Raku?"

Nanabahara Yu found that there seemed to be no sound on the other side of the phone, and was a little confused.

"Ahem, sorry, I was distracted just now."

Kamisaka Raku's voice was a little awkward.

"It doesn't matter if you can't make it in time. Just take a good look at the results at home. I believe your work will definitely win a silver or even a gold medal!"

Kamisaka Raku comforted him.

"If nothing happens, let's do this first."

"If you have any questions about publishing, please remember to contact me."

After saying goodbye to each other.

Nanabahara Yu hung up the phone and quickly finished the rest of his meal.

Then returned to the room.

I turned on my computer and paid attention to the selection program for the Dengeki Novel Awards.

I found that there was about an hour left.

He had no choice but to pay attention to the news on his mobile phone LINE again.

Water the group again.

Check to see if any LSP is posting pictures.

He went through several game groups and LSP groups, and saved a few new pictures with satisfaction.

Then I went to see other news.

He noticed that the writing group seemed lively.

Thinking that it must be related to his bet with Uzumaki Daishou, he also went to take a look curiously.

"I never expected that guy Uzumaki Daishou to get 87 votes and be selected for the Bronze Award."

"It seems that it is really difficult for Kanbara to surpass this vote with a healing light novel!"

"Especially this year, there is a unanimous ticket sale like "Sword War"."

"Who says it will definitely be "Sword War", I feel that "The Dark Fairy of Explosion" is also very likely!"

"But there is no doubt that these two good works have raised the judges' attention, and the votes of other works will be greatly affected. This is definitely making Kanbaru's situation worse."

"I feel like he is likely to lose!"

"I also feel that he has little chance of winning..."

「……」

Nanabahara Yu didn't refute, took a sip of Coke slowly, and continued to watch them blow water.

Soon, the group started discussing online serialized works.

"I heard that Web Library has released a new popular work, and it seems to be a healing one?"

"Are you talking about the "Forest of Fireflies" written by Kanto-sensei? I've also caught up to the latest chapter!"

"I've read it twice, and I feel that the writing is so concise. I even wonder if Mr. Kanji is a traditional writer..."

"Unfortunately, the content is still too short. I feel that Gin is gentle and lonely, which matches the lively Takekawa-chan so well. The following content will definitely be exciting. Please update it soon!"

"..."

Qin Yuan was a little surprised.

Jianyou is his pen name in the Web library.

He didn't expect that "Forest of Fireflies" would become so popular not long after it was serialized, and that even his small contributor group would know about it?

He felt that as someone who has been deeply involved in the Internet, Kasumi Shiko must know the reason.

Nanahara Yu directly switched LINE to Kasumi Shiko's chat window.

"Kamihara: Do you know "Firefly Forest"?"

"Kasumi Shiko: Yes, I'm also following it. "Otaku Girls Gather!" has been promoting this book these days. It's quite popular on the Internet."

"Kamihara: Otaku Girls Gather?"

"Kasumi Shiko: A popular two-dimensional community on the Internet. Coser Chiba no Fallen Saint Black Cat is also one of them. I heard that the base is in Chiba. Aren't you also in Chiba?"

"Kamihara: Ahem, Okay, I am ignorant. "

"Xia Shizi: You can also read "Firefly Forest". Kankan-sensei writes very well. It is the same type of novel as yours. Maybe you can learn something. Anyway, I benefited a lot."

"Xia Shizi: Anyway, after reading "Firefly Forest", I feel that I would like to read "Four Lies" that you voted for. Don't be too far away by then, haha."

"Kamihara: It's okay. I feel that he and I are about the same."

"Xia Shizi: ......"

"Xia Shizi: Just brag. Go and take a look outside the window and see if you can see cows flying in the sky."

"......."

Now Nanahara Yu finally understood that there was a big guy helping him promote the book.

Originally, he thought that he had to continue to serialize more words before he could see some results.

However... the name of the black cat always sounds familiar.

Is it the black cat he thought of?

......

Tokyo, the second selection of Dengeki Rewards!

The backstage lounge of "Sword Wars".

The author Shuichi Nakao and his main editor Masaki Suzuki are discussing the selection situation.

For the sake of fairness, Dengeki Bunko only allows editor-in-chief and above to participate in the review of the second selection.

Therefore, Masaki Suzuki, who is only the editor-in-chief, does not know which work has full votes.

Masaki Suzuki slowly put down the candidate information card and looked at Shuichi Nakao:

"I feel that the full-voted work should be your "Sword War", and I feel that the other works are still a little bit lacking. Although "The Exploding Dark Fairy" is also good, it is still lacking in innovation."

As for "Four Lies", he was too lazy to even take a look. He also didn't understand why Kamisaka Raku Ayame gave up "Sword" to choose such a book that goes against the trend.

He didn't think that her vision was unique, he just thought it was impulsive.

For a professional editor, it was simply absurd.

However, Masaki Suzuki was a little surprised about Shuichi Nakao, the author he recommended.

He didn't expect Shuichi Nakao to be just a college student.

Among the authors of the Grand Prize, he is definitely young.

The future is definitely promising!!

When he thought about working with such an author in the future, he felt like eating honey.

Kamisaka Raku will definitely regret it, right? Give up Nakao Shuichi.

Hearing the words of the main editor, Nakao Shuichi smiled shyly and said modestly:

"I have been preparing for "Sword War" for a long time, and my teacher has also proofread the article for me, but it is still a bit unexpected that I can get full votes."

This novel of his has been proofread by a professional light novel writer, and he believes that no one can compare to him.

Even "Exploding Fairy", which has a professional editor watching the manuscript, is still slightly inferior in his opinion!

This issue of the grand prize, he really has no rivals!

......

"Exploding Dark Fairy" backstage lounge.

A beautiful blonde girl in a Gothic lolita outfit is crossing her arms and looking at a blonde man who looks a bit similar to her with an angry face.

Chris Yamada sighed,

"Although I am one of the judges, I really don't know the voting results of others. I feel that you, Kanhara, and Nakao may all get full votes, and the most likely ones are "Sword" and "Four Lies"."

Yamada Fairy stamped her feet in anger,

"I am the strongest beautiful girl writer in history, the savior of the light novel industry, how could I be worse than them? If the Dengeki Bunko Awards don't choose me, then I will go back to the Extreme Bunko with you and bring down the Dengeki Bunko together with you!"

Chris Yamada had a blank expression,

"The goal is very ambitious, but I hope you can submit the manuscript on time."

Yamada Fairy blushed.

She naturally knew that her brother was talking about her frequent laziness when she was creating before.

"My manuscript summoning technique must be activated after the deadline!"

Yamada Fairy said proudly with her hands on her hips.

Chris Yamada's face turned cold,

"Then adjust your work and rest schedule for me, write seriously, and don't play mobile games all night!"

Soon he sighed again.

Of course he knew what his sister was like, it was not so easy to change, otherwise he should find her a fiancé and marry her off.

This way he wouldn't have to worry about it.

Chris Yamada looked at the time and it was almost time.

"The selection preparation has begun, you should be ready."

"......."
