My Romance Simulation with Them

"Since Nanxiang doesn't mind, then I won't stand on ceremony."

It received the author's approval.

Hiratsuka Shizuka let out a sigh of relief and took the manuscript from Ishikawa Kento with great curiosity.

"Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas"?

This title...

A novel?

Upon seeing this death-themed literature, which is absolutely forbidden for high school students.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's earlier excitement vanished as if she'd been doused with cold water.

It cooled down.

Chapter 119. Is this really a novel you wrote? (4100 words)

Literary novels.

This is a topic that a high school student's life experience absolutely cannot write well.

If it's a light novel of the fictional or fantasy genre, then Hiratsuka Shizuka would probably still have some hope for it.

but--

This is a literary novel!

Literature!

The first and most important point to writing this type of novel well.

That means the author needs to have a large amount of life experience to support his writing.

Only in this way can what you write be more substantial, rather than just empty talk on paper.

To put it bluntly, literary novels are essentially reflections of certain social phenomena and facts. Without accumulated experience, it is simply impossible to write them well.

The first step in discussing literary quality is reality, and the second step is artistic embellishment.

Children like Nanxiang Shi, who are only seventeen or eighteen years old and inexperienced in the ways of the world, don't even know how expensive things like gas, rice, oil, and salt are.

How could they possibly write any good novels?

Even if you have enough qualifications and experience.

But your writing isn't solid enough, and the plot isn't engaging enough, so in the end you still can't produce any good works.

This is the threshold for 'literary works'.

Unlike 'light novels', which are primarily for mass entertainment and have a lower barrier to entry.

This saying doesn't even apply to the southern countryside.

You could say that about Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The literary novels written by people who lack sufficient age and experience can be described as unbearable to read.

The works of those so-called "once-in-a-millennium literary stars" and "young writer R-san" on the Japanese market.

Hiratsuka Shizuka would occasionally feel curious, but once she bought it, she would only look at it once and never want to look at it a second time.

Because these works never reflect a certain phenomenon or thing in social reality through stories or plots.

They simply used some extremely ornate and pretentious words to pile up what looked like a novel, nothing more.

It doesn't have even the slightest bit of literary merit.

Instead of forcing yourself to write a novel you can't write well.

These so-called literary geniuses would be better off writing essays.

After all, putting everything else aside, being able to string together extremely ornate sentences into a novel is, in essence, quite a talent.

Therefore, when I saw that Nanxiang's works were novels.

As a Chinese literature teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who herself possessed a certain level of appreciation for literary works, was the first to remain silent.

She couldn't help but look up and glance at Nanxiang.

He couldn't help but glance at Kento Ishikawa on the other side.

She was already considering what words to use to comfort Nanxiang Shi later—mainly how to politely and tactfully persuade him to give up novels and instead write essays, which were relatively easier subjects.

After all, it's a bit far-fetched for a high school student to write a literary novel...

As for now.

Let's take a look first.

The mature, older female teacher sighed.

Although I knew it wouldn't be a good piece of work, it was still something that the student had worked hard to write.

Even if it was something written by some dead-eyed high school student full of resentment towards social reality, she would read it very carefully before giving her evaluation.

Pick up this novel, titled "Her Hidden in a Sea of ​​Azaleas".

Hiratsuka Shizuka began to read it carefully.

The person I love has disappeared.

I will be alone forever.

Start.

It is the protagonist's murmured monologue.

This opening surprised Hiratsuka Shizuka.

There were no affected or pretentious phrases as I had imagined.

It also lacks the flowery language and metaphors that young people typically associate with romance.

Some of them are just calm, simple sentences.

Putting aside other things.

【Incredible World】342967465

Just based on those first two sentences.

Hiratsuka Shizuka breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they lack experience, they must understand the writing techniques of literary works.

It's not just the elegant and gorgeous words that move people; the solid and simple language and the sufficiently deep plot also make it touching.

However, while acknowledging Nango's lack of use of flowery language.

But Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't think that was all; she saw a literary novel in front of her that was above average.

To be honest, it's a bit... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context.)

She didn't rush to express her opinion, but continued reading.

It was from that one glance that I saw it.

Hiratsuka Shizuka discovered this.

She gradually found herself unable to look away...

In the novel, the male protagonist's encounter with Komako moved her.

The brief separation from Komako would break her heart.

Returning to that solitary environment made her feel unbearably lonely.

When she learns that the male protagonist is determined to find Komako, she feels genuinely happy for the characters in the novel.

Wait until she sees the end.

When the male protagonist can't find the person he loves no matter how hard he searches.

A profound sense of loneliness and despair quietly permeated the air.

'She's gone. I guess I'll never find her again.'

The male protagonist in the novel spoke in this way.

Even though Hiratsuka Shizuka was outside the world of the novel, she could sense the other person's feelings.

The regret of loving someone you can't have.

The loneliness of having once possessed it, only to have it vanish in the end.

I read the entire original manuscript of the novel.

Hiratsuka Shizuka closed her eyes.

A mix of emotions churned within her.

But what saddened and chilled her most was—

“I’m almost thirty years old, but I’ve never dated anyone.”

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

She put down the manuscript of the novel and muttered to herself with extreme grievance and even a sense of desolation.

Even the protagonist in the novel, who is so oblivious and clueless about love, manages to meet Komako, the girl he loves for the rest of his life.

But what about her?

She has nothing!

Every day, all I face is my empty home.

Drinking ice-cold beer!

That's it!

At that moment, an indescribable sadness and grievance welled up from the depths of my heart.

And after that endless sorrow emerged, an indescribable impulse arose.
