Machete Style Anime

Japanese light novel authors typically update one volume every three months, with each volume containing around 100,000 words. In contrast, Chinese online novel authors generally require at least 120,000 words for a perfect update.

After writing web novels in China for several years, Kasugano Mirai found that such a writing environment was like heaven after being reborn in Japan!

—Update one volume a month, and you can finish two books in two months. Use the remaining month to rest. If you don't get enough rest, as long as you have fame and are not afraid of the work's popularity declining, it doesn't matter if you delay updating for one or two months or even one or two years. What is this if not paradise?

Kasugano Sora opened her laptop and clicked on Asuka's Twitter page.

The last post was three months ago when the seventh volume of the novel was released—"The seventh volume of the novel will soon be available to everyone. I hope you will all support it."

She opened the comments section, and the comment with the most likes at the top caught her attention.

"Beauty that's hidden from view is truly breathtaking: The novel is quite well-written, making one wonder if it's based on the author's personal experience. Secondly, the writing style of 'The Witch's Journey' is exactly the same as this work, and the update frequency is almost identical, making it hard not to suspect that the author is using a pseudonym. By the way, a heads-up: be careful, this scoundrel might use dual-writing as an excuse to delay updates in the future!"

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Sister Complex is Confirmed

Clearly, this comment resonated with many netizens.

"Sister is the best: OP is absolutely right! After finishing Asuka-sensei's work, I was bored and followed a friend's advice to read 'Wandering Witch's Journey,' and the déjà vu was so strong!"

……

"Anyone who doesn't like my little sister is...unbelievable! Surely not? While Asuka-sensei and Shingetsu-sensei have similar pen names and writing styles, there have been similar examples before. Didn't Hirasaka-sensei copy Fushimi-sensei's brain-dead tactics because he loves Oreimo too much?"

……

"My little sister is always cuter than anyone else's: Don't even mention that old scoundrel Fushimi! Give me back my black cat!"

……

"Enough with the anime/manga stuff! : The sockpuppet accounts used by the people upstairs are a bit questionable. Also, this is Asuka-sensei's Twitter comment section, please don't talk about other old geeks, okay?"

……

"All I see is Gian: A newbie here, wondering if I'm the only one who thinks the character's eyes in the PV animation look like Gian's?"

Originally, people in the comment section replied to messages very frequently and quickly, averaging about thirty seconds per message.

However, after this comment appeared, the interval between it and the next comment suddenly increased.

Five minutes later, a new comment appeared.

"I'm going to kill that bastard! Hey you, the one who said you only see Gian, come out here! Now that you've said that, I went back to watch the PV animation, but there's no going back!"

……

"All those idiots should die! I second that! I want to kill that guy too!"

……

……

……

Kasugano Sora kept scrolling through the screen until she reached the last page.

Although there were some deviations in the discussion, overall, the number of people who didn't believe it and those who did was almost equal, and the last few comments expressed the feelings of fans who suspected that the two were the same person.

"Fairies are the best! If it really is the same person, is there any need to wonder why they're running two accounts? It's obviously to slack off!"

"Fairies are the best! By the way, that damn old thief Fushimi! Is Eromanga na Anime still updating?! It's been two years!!!"

"Fairy World's Number One!: Sagiri! My Sagiri! Waaaaaah~~"

Despite the possibility of a medical relapse, it also illustrates just how outrageous the delays in updating light novels are!

If you can't even guarantee timely updates for one work, then there's no way you can run two at the same time.

Kasugano Sora was originally looking forward to the release of the final volume, but upon seeing this, she suddenly began to worry.

As someone who is obsessed with brothers, she rarely finds a work that is somewhat related to brothers (or sisters), and she really doesn't want the author to cut the book.

Just then, the author's status update suddenly refreshed, instantly igniting the entire comment section.

—"I'll hand over the final volume of the manuscript to the editor next month. My new work, 'I Like My Sister, But She's Not My Sister,' is already in the works. —by Asuka"

Coincidentally, just two minutes after Asuka updated her Twitter status, Crescent Moon also updated hers.

—"I'll hand over the final volume of the manuscript to the editor next month. My new work, 'Even if it's my brother, love makes everything alright, right?' is already in the works. —by New Moon"

The fans of both authors fell silent.

The scene where they were arguing about the probability that the two authors were the same person now seems like a complete joke!

The person stopped pretending and laid their cards on the table.

—The update times are almost identical, the content formats are almost identical, and even the types of works are exactly the same. If this is not solid evidence, then you really should go to the hospital to see a neurologist.

Unlike other fans, Kasugano Sora was unusually happy at this moment.

"Great! I never imagined the author was a siscon, and possibly even a girl."

As for how she came to this conclusion…

You can tell just by looking at the title of the second book~

It can't be that the younger brother tells the older brother that as long as there is love, there will be no problem, right?

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Chiba Prefecture.

Sobu High School.

Second grade, class F.

It's the first class of the afternoon now.

The old teacher on the podium was giving a passionate lecture on the modern history of Japan.

Because the content was too outrageous, Kasugano Mirai chose not to listen.

Using his textbook to block the teacher's view, he took out his phone, logged into his author account, and began editing his tweets.

"I'll submit the final volume of the manuscript to the editor next month. My new work, 'I Like My Sister, But She's Not My Sister,' is already in the works. —by Asuka"

Then, after copying and pasting, modifying some of the content, I logged into Xinyue's account and updated a similar post.

"I'll hand over the final volume of the manuscript to the editor next month. My new work, 'Even if it's my older brother, love makes everything alright, right?' is already in the works. —by New Moon"

……

……

……

Since the release of the work, Kasugano Mirai has maintained a consistent update frequency of one volume every three months.

— Finishing the writing doesn't mean I have to submit the manuscript immediately!

He's always been the burden of writing the first month's work, the witch of the second month's work, and then he'll be wasting his time until the end of the third month before handing over two more works to the editor.

In fact, if he were more diligent, he could easily update two or even three volumes every three months.

It's possible, but unnecessary!

Light novels are not like web novels. Web novels are better if they are updated as often as possible, but light novels need to be spaced out. The release of each volume cannot be too close or too fast, otherwise it will reduce suspense and anticipation.

No matter how many updates the author makes, the editor who receives the manuscript will only release one volume at a fixed time.

Normally, the next roll is only released after the hype surrounding the previous roll has died down and sales have been completely exhausted.

This is an unwritten rule in the industry; another aspect of managing relationships is maintaining good relations with peers.

Think about it, everyone else is dragging their feet and writing slowly, but you, a newbie who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, are writing incredibly fast, producing like a sow, making everyone else seem like they're slacking off, which will cause readers to protest. Wouldn't they all gang up on you and punish you?

With the anime nearing completion, releasing the final volume at this crucial juncture is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

After updating her status, ignoring the comments, Kasugano Mirai clicked on the editor's LINE profile picture and began editing a message.

"Diligent Slacking-Off Monster: Machida-nee, I'll be bringing the final volumes of both works this weekend. I'll also be bringing the new work for you to read. The release date and whether it will be released at all will be decided by the paperback publisher."

After sending the message, he exited the chat interface and immediately clicked on another person's profile picture.

"The diligent but lazy monster: Seven Sins, the manga progress of 'Witch's Journey' can be sped up. If necessary, we can ask Kurumi for help."

As for how she will help, just think about Kurumi Tokisaki's abilities and you'll know.

Her Zafkiel isn't just for herself!

Unbeknownst to Kasugano Mirai, shortly after he updated his status, Kato Megumi, far away in Tokyo, stared at her phone screen, lost in thought.

"...Did they really give up on Kosei in the future?"

"Neither of these titles is convincing at all!"

……

"If I ultimately choose Xiaoqiong, what should I do?"

……

The girl couldn't hear a word the teacher was saying on the podium; all she could think about now was Kasugano Mirai.

P.S.: I've been under lockdown for almost a month. Yesterday I received a notice that I'm not allowed to leave the house except to get a nucleic acid test. This scared me so much that I stocked up on supplies overnight.

Posts blocked... manual intervention... isolation... why does it feel like everything is going wrong this month?

Mercury retrograde, begone!!!

By the way, recommend this book

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Protagonist in Danger!

Megumi Kato's personal experience tells us that sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing.

Because it makes me overthink!

Look at Kasugano Sora. Even though she didn't know that Asuka and Shingetsu were Kasugano Mirai's alternate identities, she wasn't nervous at all. In fact, she was quite looking forward to his new works.

But then again, it seems she might be even more excited if she knew.

Since being recommended a novel by Kato Megumi a couple of days ago, Eriri has been reading it day and night for the past two days.

It must be said that the work is indeed excellent.
