I will never give in to Miss Death

I am now updating two books at the same time. Almost all the readers of the old book left after the merger of Yaedo and Miguabao, and the main storyline of that book is almost over, so I plan to finish that book in these two months and concentrate on writing the new book.

"a wise decision."

After hearing my answer, the catnip editor nodded and said, "My second question is, when you were writing your new book... did you feel... a little overwhelmed or awkward? Did you?"

"Eh?"

I was stunned for a moment: "Is there something wrong with my book?"

"It's not that there's anything wrong with it. It's pretty good. It's just a traditional story about a male protagonist leveling up and fighting monsters. Although this type of subject matter is not easy to become popular, the general readership is relatively stable. However, when I was reading it, I had a feeling that you didn't seem to be suitable for this type of style."

At this moment, Catmint was like a caring teacher: "In novels with male protagonists, the protagonist should be a domineering, manly man, and the plot should be fast, accurate, and ruthless. If you want good data for this type of novel, you have to write about the man's strength and excitement, but Nuoer, I feel like you don't seem to be very good at this aspect."

"Eh……"

I didn’t quite understand what the editor meant: “Can you explain it more clearly? Does this book need major revisions?”

"It's not a question of whether to change it or not. The main issue is the protagonist of your book... Forget it, let me be frank, Nuo'er, I don't think you are suitable for writing a male protagonist. Your personality and writing style are more suitable for a female protagonist."

The catnip editor stared into my eyes and said, "Melonbao focuses on two-dimensional novels. In the field of two-dimensional light novels... yuri and yuri have a certain audience. Aren't you living with classmate Yin Xiamo now? Even if you only write about your daily life living with a girl, the data of the novel will be better than if you write a male-centered novel with your current mentality, and the upper limit will be much higher."

"meaning is……"

I finally understood: "I'm opening a new book?"

"I'm not starting a new book, I'm starting a new author account. Your previous author account, 'Uncle Loves Lolita', had a terrible pen name. I suggest you come up with a cuter or more neutral name. Start a new book with a female lead, or write about yuri life, or simply draw material from your daily life. I can tell you're a good fit for this kind of novel."

On the bench at the stairs with a slight echo, Catmint signaled Yin Xiamo beside me with his eyes.

"Also, I suggest that if you open a new author account, don't declare yourself a female author. Some readers will discriminate against you in this regard. Just say you are an uncle. Nowadays, uncles writing yuri stories are more popular and more in line with the mainstream. There are a lot of strange comments in the comment section of your author account now. If you open a new author account, you can get rid of those harassments."

Having said that, Catnip stood up from the chair.

"That's all I wanted to say. I just want to make two suggestions. First, Nuo'er, your writing style is more suitable for female-lead novels. If the first recommendation for this male-lead novel doesn't work well, you can try yuri novels. Second, you can open a new author account and create a character of an uncle."

"These are my private suggestions. They do not represent the opinions of Honeydew Bag and its editors. It is up to you whether you want to listen to them or not."

"..."

……

No. 181 I will learn, I will grow, I will become——

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the author conference of Miguabao and Yaedo was held as scheduled in a large private room on the sixth floor of the hotel near the cultural and art exhibition.

According to the statistics that Catnip had posted in the voice chat before, there were nearly three hundred authors who received invitations to today's authors' conference, with more than eighty from Yaedo and more than two hundred from Miguabao. However, only fifty or sixty people actually showed up.

It is said that the merged Miguabao has been busy with the assignment of authors and recruitment of editors in May. Since it has taken over a website that is about 50% smaller in size than its own, Miguabao can be regarded as "expanding by 50%". Both its business and volume have grown a lot. The workload of editors and operators has increased suddenly. In addition, with the help of Elodie and Lan Jiajia who were "poached" by me, the editing resources here have become tight, and we have no choice but to publicly recruit new editors.

New editors recruited from outside the company need to start working with authors right after they join the company. There are also a lot of things to do in the merger between Miguabao and Yaedo. There is also a call for papers in May, and the annual literature and art exhibition is held at this time...

It can be said that during this period, "Yae Melon Bun" had completely fallen into a mess.

Authors who receive invitation letters generally meet two characteristics. First, they are relatively "friendly" to Miguabao or Yaedo, have training value, listen to the editor, and have a strong desire to continue writing here. These authors are called "lucky authors" and are selected by the editor from among the authors he or she manages.

I am one of these “lucky authors”.

To put it bluntly, this is a bit like... "fresh graduates" who just graduated from college and know nothing. The company's requirement for them is "not too stupid" in the local dialect. They just need to be active when necessary, be good at thinking, and not be too stupid. The company can train these fresh graduates, as long as they study hard and don't jump to a rival company after training.

The situation on the author's side is... the website editors are willing to train "lucky authors" and guide them in writing books. Those who can become "lucky authors" cannot be too stupid, nor can they be too stubborn. For example, some people's Chinese is not good enough, they can't write fluent sentences, and their foundation is not good. Such people have no chance of becoming lucky authors. And then such authors cannot be too "stubborn". For example, Miguabao light novels are mainly about the second dimension and male frequency, and there has been a severe crackdown on Danmei recently. You say I don't care, I want to write Danmei, I want to write about the love between two handsome ancient men, I won't listen to what the editor says, I want to write my own book about gay love, such authors are equivalent to "no training value" on the website.

Finally, the author got his wish and wrote a BL novel. However, because it was seriously incompatible with the target audience of Miguabao, few readers read it and the statistics were terrible. After a week, there was not a single person in the comment section, and the editor did not recommend it. Slowly, it was forgotten.

In fact, many people have this mentality when they start writing books. They think they can make a big splash and want to write different stories, different styles, and take an unconventional approach. They fantasize that after writing a book, they can become a great author and make everyone look at them with admiration. This is normal, but what gives editors the most headaches are those authors who will not listen to suggestions no matter what. They will not listen to anything you say, so editors generally will not focus their work on such authors.

In addition to the "lucky authors" who can be trained, there are also many "great authors" here today, that is, authors who have been on the best-selling list of Miguabao or Yaedo before. The reason why Miguabao has more such authors than Yaedo is because... In the one or two months after Yaedo went bankrupt, most of the best-selling authors have "left", and many have signed "indentures" with some websites, which directly signed the entire author's contract and he cannot come back, so invitation letters cannot be sent out.

Moreover, most of the authors are relatively introverted and do not like to be bothered. As a result, only fifty or sixty out of hundreds of authors were willing to attend.

To be honest, if this "Author Conference" was not held in Kamihama City, I would not go if it required me to drive for more than an hour.

Because now I have no money and cannot afford a train ticket worth dozens of dollars. Secondly, after becoming a loli, I hate traveling far away. I always feel that it will be very inconvenient in places that I am not familiar with.

In addition, another thing that concerned me was that Yin Xiamo somehow got the "invitation letter" from Maominpit. After the conversation, she took my hand directly, like a shrewd writer, and followed the team to the hotel next to the exhibition.

"Noer! Little Noer!"

In the large private room specially customized for the Authors Conference, as soon as Yin Xiamo and I entered the room, a burst of exclamations came from a table in the middle that was full of girls.

"This way! This way!"

"Is it really Yin Nuoer from the coffee shop? Are there any young girls really willing to be maids nowadays?"

"Kamihama City is such a strange place."

"Their skin was so good that I thought they had turned on the skin-smoothing effect, but then I realized that it was what I saw with my own eyes, it was so magical..."

There were five banquet tables in this large box. It was obvious that male authors made up the majority. The number of female authors couldn't even fill up a table. Moreover, many of them seemed to be older women, with only one or two college students.

In fact, if you think about it, you will know that as a male-oriented website, Miguabao’s readers and authors are definitely mostly men. As the saying goes, only men understand men. If a female author wants to write a book on a male-oriented website, the first thing she needs to do is to think more like a "male". For example, ordinary girls will shyly curse "lecher" or "pervert" when seeing pornographic pictures, but this type of female author will send a more pornographic expression and add a picture like "Any more? My friend said she wants to see some, send a few more". The second point is that this type of female author must thoroughly study the mainstream "pleasure points" and male "pleasure points" and figure out the positioning and target groups of their own novels.

Unless they are the kind of people who have been writing online since elementary school, in most cases, female authors who want to write well for men's genres basically need several years of writing experience to accumulate. Or they can write for women's genres for several years first and then want to change careers, so they can lurk on men's genre websites for a few months, thoroughly study the routines there, and then transfer their experience in writing for women's genres over and slowly transform themselves.

Both situations require a lot of time and youth, so there are fewer female authors for men's channels, and even fewer female authors whose works become "hot sellers" and who are willing to travel far away to attend author conferences.

"You guys sit there."

Seeing Yin Xiamo and I come in, Lu Xinjian at the door gestured to me to the table in the middle of the box where only girls were sitting. "Long time no see, Nuoer. How have you been lately?"

"not bad."

I was also a little surprised that Lu Xinjian actually came to attend such a meeting, and blurted out: "Where's Xinmeng? Is she okay?"

"It's very good. The doctor said that our ancestors showed their power and created a medical miracle."

Lu Xinjian, who was wearing work clothes, was filling a large bowl with porridge while lowering his voice and saying to me, "Nuo'er, do you know? Because Xinmeng's body has always been weak, the doctor originally required us to stay in the hospital for at least a month. But after only half a month, Xinmeng's body is almost healed, and there is no rejection reaction at all. The doctor said that the heart is like... like it was tailor-made for Xinmeng. After the transplant, all her minor ailments such as mild asthma and low blood pressure were cured."

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to say these things at this time. Lu Xinjian scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Uh... Sorry, did I say something I shouldn't have said again? I... I have a low EQ."

"Will not."

In response, I just shook my head and said, "I'm also very happy that Xinmeng can recover."

From Lu Xinjian's perspective, he was genuinely happy that his daughter had recovered her health, and because of the "marshmallow" incident at the vegetable market, we had a "friend-like" relationship. As a friend, it was natural for Lu Xinjian to be eager to share the news that his daughter's condition had improved.

But from my point of view, Yin Nuoer's brother Yin Shiren just passed away less than half a month ago, and his heart was transplanted to someone else. At this time, the heart is beating in that person's chest. If Yin Nuoer had a good relationship with Yin Shiren, this matter is actually quite sad. To put it more seriously... Lu Xinmeng's recovery came at the cost of her "brother's" death.

As the sister of "Yin Shiren", my brother just passed away. I probably won't be in a good mood for the past half month. Then, the person who received the organ transplant from my "brother" is now "showing off" in front of me how healthy and strong Yin Shiren's heart is. This feeling... according to common sense, would be very subtle.

That's why Lu Xinjian realized halfway through the conversation that it was not appropriate to say these things in front of me.

But after all, I am not a "normal person", so I didn't feel unhappy at this moment. Instead, I was happy that my body organs could help others.

"That's good. I thought..."

Hearing what I said, Lu Xinjian seemed to be relieved: "Xinmeng's wound has basically healed now, and she can walk around. The doctor said that in a couple of days, she should try to walk around the hospital without a wheelchair, and then check if there are any abnormalities with her heart. She can be discharged in about a week."

So fast?

The scene of Lu Xinmeng sitting in a wheelchair and playing with cats when the coffee shop opened appeared in front of my eyes.

Transplant surgery is a major operation and the patient usually cannot be discharged from the hospital for one or two months. If it is a relatively important organ transplant, the rejection reaction must be carefully observed after the wound heals.

The heart is undoubtedly an important organ.

Now that Lu Xinmeng was able to be discharged from the hospital so quickly, it could only mean...

I cast a questioning look at Yin Xiamo beside me.

It must have been her who did it.

I know Yin Shiren's physical condition. He is just an ordinary uncle. From childhood to adulthood, I am no different from most of my peers in school. If I eat the wrong food, I will get stomach upset. If I don't keep warm, I will catch a cold and have a fever. Occasionally, I will have various symptoms of infection and inflammation. At least at that time, my body itself was definitely not a "panacea".

After the heart was transplanted to Lu Xinmeng, there was no rejection reaction and the child recovered his health. There is only one possibility for this, that is, my body has been "modified" or "switch".

At least the nature of the heart has been modified.

The only one who can do this is Yin Xiamo, who knows magic and comes from another world.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Feeling my gaze, Yin Xiamo just smiled slightly: "I just don't want Nuoer to be sad."

Does this mean that you admit that Yin Shiren’s heart has some kind of “magic”?

I was thoughtful.

Well...if according to my previous reasoning that "Yin Xiamo has the ability to go back in time", if Yin Xiamo in this timeline has really experienced it countless times, then there is no reason for her to do anything unnecessary.

In other words... if you want to have a happy ending for this timeline, Lu Xinmeng must be alive?

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

"Noer! Little Noer!"

While chatting with Lu Xinjian, the female author in the "Girls' Area" in the middle of the box seemed to be unable to hold back: "Stop chatting with the uncle deputy editor-in-chief! Come over here!"

"Yes, yes! Come here and let your sister hug you!"

"Noer, come quickly!"

"You are really welcome."

Editor Catmint, who came in with us, yawned and said, "How about I discuss this with Big G later? Yae Melon Girl has just made a virtual image, but there is no one to play it with. Why don't you do the voice acting as Melon Girl?"

"I……"

I said awkwardly, “I don’t know how to dub.”

"It's okay, your voice is fine now."

Catnip continued: "Melon Girl's character is silly and doesn't seem very smart. Her voice is that of a homegirl. She's a little weak but very cute."

"Why am I so stupid?"

I was not convinced: "I'm very smart, okay? I'm smarter than the uncle you just mentioned!"

"Oh?"

Catnip had a look of disbelief on his face: "When it rains outside, will you run home to hide from the rain? When you are hungry, will you find something to eat by yourself? Will you turn on the lights at home when it gets dark?"

What a weird question! Everyone can do these things, right?

Just as I was thinking about how to refute Catnip, a slender figure ran over and squatted down.

At this moment, I felt like I was being held up like a kitten.

Eh eh eh? !

"Okay! No'er, stop chatting over there and come over to eat something. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"

The one who picked me up was October, the editor of the boy whom I had just met in the small apartment. She had short hair and wore a suit similar to that of men. She looked quite handsome, like a "T" or "tomboy" in a lesbian relationship. She was also very strong and could pick me up and lift me above her head.

"I know the truth, but..."

I felt my face getting hotter after being lifted up so high all of a sudden: "Put me down now!"

Why do I feel like you guys are like... a group of people calling a kitten on the street, meowing, and then the kitten ignores you, and then you get so angry that you rush over and pick up the cat and carry it home? October, you are more or less an editor here too! You are unreasonable!

"Okay, okay, Noer, sit here."

Under my protest, the October editor put me on a small chair next to the table and helped me take the sterilized dishes and chopsticks from the table: "What do you like to drink? Juice? Herbal tea? Coke or Sprite?"

I glanced at Catmint and Yin Xiamo behind me: "Uh... juice."

"October, be more reserved."

Catnip walked over under my gaze, found a random seat and sat down: "After all, this is my author."

Why is my unit "only"? !

"What does it matter? We are all friends here today. There is no distinction between authors and editors."

October gave me a look: "Right, little kitty?"

"..."

Why do I feel like there are few normal people in your editorial department?

"Nuo'er is so cute. When I saw her on TV news before, I always thought she had her skin smoothed and beautified. I even complained to my friends at the time that TV stations are becoming more and more fake. I didn't expect..."

At this time, a girl wearing glasses sitting across from the table cast a curious look at me: "How do you usually take care of your skin? And that... Yin Xia... Yin Xiamo? I saw in the video that you seem to work in the same place as Nuoer. Do you two have the same surname as sisters?"

"Not."
