On the Shinkansen back to Chiba City.
After browsing the social media, he clicked on the cat profile picture with the caption " scheming otaku."
[Has the release date of the new book been set?」
[Not yet. I'm editing the article.]
[Have you finished editing your novel?]
Kasumi Shiko quickly replied.
[Isn't it a piece of cake for a genius writer like me to change a novel?」
Okawa Tetsuya mocked him daily: "Is there really someone who has a headache over changing the article? No way, no way!」
"How can you be as good as Ochigawa? After all, you're the winner of the 'Electric Fiction'. You're one of the top publishing companies in the industry, and you'll definitely soar in the future."」
"By the way, Ochigawa-kun, I've been wanting to ask you a question.」
[You…] Do you have a girlfriend?"
"I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a wife."」
[Let me guess.]
"The wife that Ogawa-kun is talking about, could it be a female character in some erotic games?」
" If that's really the case, then it's really... It's quite pitiful."
The counterattack of the scheming otaku would never be late, and it would never be absent.
Yichuan Tetsuya glanced around. He felt that this scheming otaku girl seemed to be monitoring him. Otherwise, how could she know so clearly?
It felt... He was killed.
Jichuan Che chose to remain silent.
The phone rang again.
[Don't tell me I was right.」
"Okawa-kun, don't tell me you don't even have a female friend in real life!」
"If you call me sister, I can consider sending you a selfie so that you can chat with netizens in the future and pretend to have a girlfriend.」
Yichuan Che decided.
When he met this scheming otaku in the future, he would definitely let her have a taste of something powerful!
Definitely!
Even if she was a tank!
......
......
Monday.
In the editing conference room of TeleJ Literature.
The meeting this time was mainly about the light novel that was going to be published in early August.
"The works to be released in early August have almost been confirmed, and some early publicity work has already begun preparations.”
"The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss whether we should change the release date of 'April is Your Lie' from the end of August to the beginning of August.”
" Under normal circumstances, the authors who won the 'Electric Shock Fiction', will spend at least a month to edit their novels, but Teacher Sai Wen is an exception.”
"However, Teacher Sai Wen has completed the revision of 'Four Lies' ahead of time, so I think we should give Teacher Sai Wen a chance to publish it in early August.”
After the editor-in-chief finished speaking, he looked at the other editors-in-chief.
"You're done changing it so quickly?"
An editor exclaimed in disbelief.
One had to know.
Normal writers would spend at least a month to edit their articles. Those who were slower would not even be able to edit it well in half a year.
It was only a few days until the announcement of the award.
It hadn't even been half a month.
Just... Finished editing?
"Teacher Sai Wen is indeed not an ordinary writer. The first draft of 'Four Lies' that he submitted is already very complete.”
"The only things that need to be changed are some inappropriate words.”
Kagura Saka explained.
Under normal circumstances, the work that received the award would need to be greatly changed.
Rhythm, plot.
He deleted some redundant sentences or added some plots that could enrich the character.
This was not as simple as he had imagined.
It required the editor and the author to work together to create a work that would be welcomed by the market.
But April Is Your Lie didn't need that much effort.
Just like what Kagurazaka Asamu had said, the first draft of " Four Lies " that Kagurazaka Tetsuya had submitted to the gaming studio was already a finished product.
"Let's follow the rules."
"It'll be published in late August. Actually, it's not much different from early August. I don't think we should open the door to convenience.”
"Even if Teacher Sai Wen is really a genius writer, it's still best to polish his works.”
"It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. It's better to settle down.”
The editors 'words were not out of Kagurazaka's expectations.
If it were her, she would definitely not agree to something that touched on her interests.
Even if it was just an ordinary light novel, it would cause a certain degree of distraction to the publicity efforts of the publishing house. The publicity funds for each book would be relatively reduced.
Not to mention a work like this that had received a 'great award'.
The publishing house would definitely not wait for it and would definitely do their best to publicize it.
"We shouldn't let good works be neglected.”
Kagurazaka stood up. His eyes were filled with killing intent, as if he was a general who had stepped into the battlefield and was unafraid of death.
"I admit that I have my own selfish motives. I want 'Four Lies' to have a better sales environment.”
"But ask yourselves, is 'Four Lies' really not qualified to be released in early August? Shouldn't we give a better sales environment for a work like 'Four Lies'?”
"I don't know if you still remember the philosophy of the JJ Literature.”
"When I was still an intern editor, the chief editor who taught me told me that the original intention of the establishment of the Electric Shock Literature Library was to not let outstanding works be covered in dust and to not let outstanding writers be hidden in the dust.”
" I used to, now, and in the future, think that excellent authors are better than excellent works.”
"That's all I have to say."
Asamu Kagurazaka let out a long sigh and sat down.
That was all she could do.
Whether or not 'Four Lies' could be published in early August was up to fate.
It was still the familiar voting segment.
The editor-in-chief took out the voting slips and looked at them one by one before putting them back into the voting box.
After that, he announced,"The four votes agreed to be sold in early August.”
Kagura Saka's expression darkened. Out of more than ten chief editors, only four agreed. The result was self-evident.
The editor-in-chief continued," I don't agree with the three votes that will be released in early August. The remaining votes are abandoned.”
Kagurazaka Asamu was pleasantly surprised.
The rest of the people had looks of disbelief on their faces. They were somewhat surprised that there were so many abstained votes.
"Since you've decided, then let's set 'Four Lies' to be released in early August. Chief Editor Kagurazaka, you'll have to work hard.”
"Got it, Chief Editor."
Kagurazaka Asamu excitedly sent this news to Okawa Tetsuya and shared his joy.
The managing editor smiled and stood there for a while.
Then, he walked into the office with the voting box.
"Four to four. I didn't expect a draw.”
"I'm already so old, but I still have to do such a sneaky thing.”
" However, just like what Kagurazaka said, the original intention of the establishment of Denji Literature was to not let outstanding works be covered in dust, and to not let outstanding writers be hidden in the dust.”
The managing editor was looking forward to it.
What kind of sales would " April Is Your Lie " have after it was released?
At eight o'clock he presented himself.
28,000 flowers, a total of 14 chapters, 4000 reviews, two chapters, a total of 16 chapters.
[New update requirements: 10,000 flowers per update, 500 comments per update, 10 monthly votes per update, 2 tips per update!]
