I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

In the comments section, the haters who had previously been stirring up trouble have long been drowned out by sincere praise. The few questions that occasionally pop up are quickly countered with counter-questions such as "Have you even read the book?" and "Would Dean Onishi recommend a bad book?"

"My follower count has surpassed 100,000..."

Yu Genkawa's Twitter followers jumped from tens of thousands to over six figures just days after the release of "Love Letter." While it's not yet on par with Mai Sakurajima's millions, it has already garnered a considerable following.

Just then, his phone rang again.

Upon picking it up, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After hesitating for a moment, the young man answered the call anyway.

"Is this Mr. Genkawa Yu?"

A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone, "This is Ayamoto Yukito. I got your contact information through Editor Machida. Congratulations on the great success of your book, 'Love Letter'!"

"Uh, thank you."

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I am calling you to invite Mr. Yuanchuan to join our group chat. There are many emerging writers in it, and I am sure you will be interested."

"Join the group?"

Yuan Chuan You thought about it and realized that this was indeed a good thing, because the writer's circle is a very important network, and he also hoped to be able to discuss stories with some excellent authors.

"Then invite me. My Line ID is..."

"it is good."

Immediately after hanging up the phone, someone with a profile picture of a four-colored windmill added him on Line and sent him a link inviting him to a group chat.

"drop!"

Upon joining the group chat, which was called "Emerging Writers Tokyo Branch!", Genkawa Yu tried sending a self-introduction.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuu Minakawa."

The group chat immediately became lively.

"Welcome, Genkawa-sensei! The part in 'Love Letter' where Fujii Itsuki discovers the sketch really touched me; I've read it many times!" — This is from Asada Mamai, a rising star author who won the Naoki Prize last year.

"Mr. Genkawa's descriptions of snowy scenes are superb. We can exchange ideas on environmental description techniques next time~" — Historical novelist Kaoru Sasaki added an emoticon at the end of her welcome message.

"Dean Onishi was talking about you yesterday. He said, 'There are too few young people these days who can settle down and write about delicate emotions.' Professor Genkawa, you'd better keep up the good work!" — The message from mystery writer Miyamoto Miyuki carried the gentle warmth of an elder. She was Dean Onishi's student, and her mystery novels sold incredibly well.

"Thank you everyone, I will continue to work hard."

Genkawa Yu smiled slightly as he looked at the scrolling messages on the screen.

Then she told her manager, Kazuya Nakahara, about it, and he naturally praised her again, saying that she should seize such a good opportunity.

After all, these people hold the copyrights to a large number of works, and there may be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

Yuan Chuanyu stood up, stretched, and glanced at his system screen.

[Production Sequence 1: Long-Distance Running Expert]

Experience points: 93/100

"I should be able to finish this entry by tomorrow. Once the [Entry Library] is upgraded to Lv2, I should be able to see the crafting path for purple entries, right?"

That's something to look forward to.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Kasumigaoka Utaha sat in her bedroom, her long, slender legs crossed in front of her chair, the rounded curves encased in black stockings gleaming delicately under the incandescent light.

Because the bedroom was heated, she was only wearing a loose white knit sweater on her upper body. The collar slipped down slightly, revealing her delicate and lovely collarbone, which looked quite alluring.

However, the girl's mood at that moment could hardly be described as beautiful.

Her fingers were tapping impatiently on the laptop keyboard, the latest chapter of "Love Metronome" stuck in the middle of the screen.

The cursor kept blinking in front of her, as if mocking Calvin.

"Tsk..."

The young female writer, a freshman in college, smacked her lips and rubbed her temples.

She had been staring at this plot for three hours straight, but she just couldn't get it to move forward. The interaction between the male and female protagonists that she had envisioned was incredibly sweet, but the words she wrote were dry and tasteless, like a formulaic dialogue that was forcibly pieced together.

"Why...can't I write it?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha muttered to herself in confusion, a hint of frustration flashing in her red eyes.

After sitting there for another half hour, she decided to find something else to change her mood.

The girl got up and walked to the bookshelf, where she saw the unopened novel on the right—"Love Letters".

"This book has been quite popular online lately. Editor Machida even chatted with me about this Mr. Genkawa last time..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha remembered the story that Editor Machida had told her a few days ago. The book was also given to her by the editor. Because she had been working on the story of "Love Metronome" for the past few days, the girl hadn't had a chance to open the book yet.

"Anyway, I can't write anything right now, so I'll just take a look first."

The cover of "Love Letters" is unusually plain, with no fancy illustrations, only a pale blue title and a yellowed library card image.

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the book, and when she saw the opening line, "The letter that Watanabe Hiroko sent," her expression froze slightly, but then she became even more engrossed in the book.

The story of "Love Letter" is devoid of melodramatic misunderstandings or exaggerated emotional outbursts. Instead, it uses the simplest language to gradually unfold the unrequited love hidden in time.

The boy, Fujii Itsuki, repeatedly wrote his name "Fujii Itsuki" in books that no one borrowed. The girl, who thought it was a prank, only discovered the sketch on the back of the library card years later.

Stories about unrequited love always evoke a pang of heartache.

There isn't a single courageous confession of "I like you" in the entire story, but those subtle actions are more touching than any straightforward confession.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly realized the root of her writer's block—

She likes to use intense conflicts and dialogues to drive emotions, but forgets that the most touching feelings are often hidden in these "unspoken" details.

"I've got an idea!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up. She closed "Love Letter" and prepared to put it back on the bookshelf.

For some reason, the girl seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly opened the title page again, her gaze fixed on the author's photo.

Genkawa Yu sat in front of the camera, smiling slightly. The light outlined his sharp jawline, especially his blond hair, which, although somewhat frivolous and rebellious, blended well with his own temperament.

Her dark eyes were clear and bright, gentle yet carrying a just-right sense of aloofness.

She couldn't help but reach out her little hand to stroke the photo on the title page, murmuring softly.

"...How can someone so young write such a story?"

"What kind of person would he be?"

"That's amazing..."

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star - Chapter Thirty-Six: Encyclopedia Upgrade, Book Signing Project Launched

At 8 p.m., after an hour-long run, Yuan Chuanyu returned to his rented room covered in sweat.

"It's done!"

Staring at the system panel in front of him, after a period of persistent training, Yuan Chuanyu finally completed the experience acquisition for the [Long-Distance Running Master] title.

[Production Sequence 1: Long-Distance Running Expert]

Experience points: 100/100

Production complete!

[Obtain the "Long-Distance Running Master (White)" entry.]

"We can synthesize it now, and we can upgrade the [Glossary] level today!"

Yue/Yi·Yilin?Yi?（?Seven?）俬五氿?四??Jiuba wiped the sweat from his face, and Yuanchuan You stared intently at the system screen in front of him.

He can only see the synthesis paths for white and green entries now. He will only be able to see higher-level entries after upgrading the [Entry Library].

Having thought about it for so long, he was quite excited.

The next moment, the young man began to carefully synthesize the entry.

【High Energy (Green)】 + 【Long-Distance Running Expert (White)】 = 【Athlete (Green)】

Synthesis successful!

[Obtain the "Athlete" (green) entry!]

[Athlete]

[Mastering greater explosive power, possessing the endurance of a long-distance runner, and having more perfect breathing techniques will allow you to easily handle even long-distance marathons.]

And then...

Instead of experiencing the changes in his body, Yuu Genkawa continued to stare at the light screen in front of him. After the entry for "Athlete (Green)" was completed, a new prompt popped up.

[Congratulations, host! You have now mastered a total of 10 terms.]

[Entry database Lv1→Lv2!]

The crafting path for the purple modifier has been unlocked!

"coming!"

Genkawa Yu's eyes widened, and he immediately began searching in the vast [entry database].

Although his initial thought was to find more advanced acting terms, after going through this period of trials and tribulations, he has come to deeply appreciate the benefits of being a writer.

Two days ago, after the additional 100,000 copies of "Love Letter" printed by Shinazugawa officially entered the market, his account once again received a second wave of royalties.

With the first wave of money received, Yu Genkawa has now received a total of over eight million yen in royalties, a stark contrast to the tens of thousands of yen he earned per episode of "49".

Therefore, after the dictionary database was upgraded, his first choice was still to find entries related to writing.

After searching for a long time, the young man finally locked onto his target.

[Bestselling Author (Purple)]

[Can be synthesized]

[Possesses the ability to write phenomenal literary works, demonstrates excellent writing skills, and produces texts that combine commercial appeal with literary depth; writing speed has also increased significantly.]

"Is this the description of the purple entry? Impressive!"

Genkawa Yu took a look at the synthesis path of the purple entry and was immediately surprised.

[Junior Novelist (Green)] + [Continuous Writing (Green)] + [Advanced Research (Green)] = [Bestselling Author (Purple)]
