The depressing writer of the anime series, Xue No cried and begged for a break

The second good news is that Four Lies is being animated.

Where is the last one... Gao Chuanshuo had no choice but to ask:

"So, Ms. Kagurazaka, what is the third good news?"

"..."

Kagurazaka Ayame took a deep breath and became serious.

"Recently, a magazine called LALA under Hakusensha is planning to organize a short story event."

“I wonder if you’ve been paying attention?”

"I know." Gao Chuanshuo's voice echoed in the private room.

In fact, he also planned to participate under "Firefly Forest", but he didn't know whether it would be feasible to use the name Ikaros.

I was just about to ask Kagura-Saka about this.

"..."

"They feel that relying solely on essay contests is not eye-catching enough. After all, most of the contestants who go for the prize money are not very good contestants." Miss Kagurazaka said, taking a sip of tea.

Gao Chuanshuo: "..."

Although he knew that the other party might not have meant it, he felt that he was really implied.

"And then what?" Gao Chuanshuo asked.

"..."

"So they plan to invite 10 famous writers from each library, who will directly enter the finals and compete with other qualified contestants in the form of a professional group."

Invite contestants to enter the finals directly?

Gao Chuanshuo had read the essay, "I remember there seemed to be a prize for those who made it to the finals."

100 million yen per place.

Although it doesn't seem like a lot, you have to know that there are 30 places in the finals, which is not a small number when added up.

What's more, there are additional bonuses for winning the prize.

It can be seen that the other party has invested a lot of money...

Kagurazaka nodded:

"Unlike ordinary contestants, they have invested heavily in order to jointly promote their online reading platform with other libraries. Not only have they provided many cooperation conveniences to other libraries, but the invited library authors will also receive 300 million yen directly."

Gao Chuanshuo's heart moved slightly!

It's 200 million yen more than going directly to the finals...

"..."

Kagurazaka sighed slightly.

After Editor-in-Chief Suzuki assigned her this spot.

She couldn't find the right contestant!

After all, Dengeki Bunko is mainly aimed at authors of long light novels.

Yamada Fairy from the next group is very concerned about this spot.

It is said that it is not because of the prize money...but the works of the invited library authors will be displayed separately in the professional area, which is more suitable for her as the future of light novels.

"..."

But we have to compete with other libraries.

As the person in charge of this project, it would be a lie for her to say that she has no pressure.

Not to mention the last place in the professional group!

If the number of votes is not as high as that of the ordinary group, she will really have to take an apology letter to Editor-in-Chief Suzuki to beg for mercy.

It's not that she's targeting the Yamada Fairy...

It’s because the other party’s shortcomings are too obvious.

The first is that her works are refreshing and full of emotions, but the wording of her articles is often criticized on information integration websites as a mess.

This shortcoming is very disadvantageous in a short story.

Second, Yamada Fairy is not a contestant under their editorial team after all.

If I really used the Yamada Fairy!

It seems that her editorial team is particularly unreliable...

After looking around, I didn't find anything suitable.

Kagurazaka: “…”

OK, OK, their group does have no one under their control...

She turned around in disbelief.

I found that the estimated length of "Four Lies" is not too long for a light novel.

If Mr. Gao Chuan had the energy to participate, it might be easier for him to get a good grade.

Of course, Gaochuan Shuo also has shortcomings, such as his preference for writing in Chinese characters, which makes the light novels seem a bit obscure and difficult.

But let’s be honest!

This shortcoming may be a professional counterpart in a short story.

She decided to try to consult Gao Chuanshuo to see if he had the energy.

otherwise!

She might really leave this spot to Yamada Fairy and just give up...

But I found that Gao Chuanshuo didn't say anything!

Kagurazaka guessed that he might be interested.

I couldn't help but raise my voice and said in a gentle and persuasive way:

"Please rest assured, Mr. Gaochuan, Hakusensha will not interfere with the results of the 30 contestants' competition. None of our libraries will interfere. The final top three will be decided entirely by real-name reader votes!"

"..."

Gao Chuanshuo licked his lips.

"Ms. Kagurazaka, I can join!"

"I have a short light novel in draft form, and it feels like it would be just right..."

This is really good news for him!

Even if he wasn't invited, he would still participate!

Now there is this invitation spot!

Even if you don’t win the prize, you can still get an extra 200 million yen!

He will definitely participate.

After it is confirmed.

Kagurazaka clapped his hands in delight:

"Unlike a long novel, you should hand me your first draft in a week. I will ask someone to help you look at the short story and see if there are any changes that need to be made. After all, it is still very different from a long novel."

"Ah."

Suddenly, Kagurazaka remembered that Takagawa Saku had not yet joined the large group of authors in their Dengeki Bunko.

I asked Gao Chuanshuo.

After agreeing, Takagawa Saku was immediately pulled into a large group of light novel writers called Dengeki Bunko.

It is said!

Only B-level contracts can join.

But when Gao Chuanshuo took a look, he found that the number of people in this group had reached more than 1,700.

Kagurazaka seemed to have noticed his confusion.

Smiling, he explained:

"Almost 2,000 of them are all the elite-level authors in our 12 editorial teams, not all of them are from our team."

"Yeah." Gao Chuanshuo understood.

After all, this is a leading library and after so many years of accumulation, it would be strange if there were not more than 2000 authors.

"This group only opens for discussion when tasks are occasionally posted or certain activities are held."

"Ah."

Then, under the strong recommendation of Kagurazaka Ayame, he joined the small group of Kagurazaka group authors...

Takagawa Saku thought about it and he was also curious about who was in the Kagurazaka Group.

In addition, Ms. Kagurazaka said that the group chat was active and the atmosphere was good.

1

Gao Chuanshuo thought about it and agreed.

But after joining the group.

Unlike the large group that was banned, this small group has also been banned for almost a minute.

Still no one spoke!

Not even a word of welcome to the newcomers...

"Ms. Kagurazaka, the atmosphere in the group doesn't seem to be very active..."

Takagawa Saku looked at Kagurazaka with some suspicion.

"..."

This made Kagurazaka feel a little embarrassed.

Just now she kept saying that the atmosphere in the group was good, but Gao Chuanshuo joined the group!

There was no one to welcome me...

This is so embarrassing...

These private individuals, I must give them a good scolding soon!

But after looking at the few words carved in the crooked sunset for a few seconds, Kagurazaka Ayame suddenly realized.

"Teacher Gaochuan, please change the note to Burning Ikaros."

Gao Chuanshuo nodded and did as he was told.

As a result, as soon as he changed the remarks, the small group of Kagurazaka Group was immediately shocked!

"Teacher Ikaros himself?"

"The author of 'Four Lies' which ranks first on the Oricon list?"

"Welcome Teacher Ikaros, welcome, welcome!"

"Wuhu, welcome Teacher Ikaros to join the group!"

"Oh, it's Teacher Ikaros. You're finally here. Warm welcome!"

"..."

To create a friendly atmosphere!

There were even a few veteran authors who sent out several red envelopes in a row, and each of them contained the words "Welcome Teacher Ikaros".

Gao Chuanshuo's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Miss Kagurazaka!"

"This group is really enthusiastic and has a great atmosphere. I like it very much!"
