They don't actually think I like them, do they?

As Lin Han's first major career peak, I feel that I could have written it better. I focused too much on "visual appeal" and it ended up being rather weak. Looking back, I really feel regretful.

The above are parts that no one in the comments section has mentioned, but which I personally find unsatisfactory.

Below are some of the parts of Volume 4 where the brothers genuinely expressed their dissatisfaction:

[Yan Yuli's Mind], [Songs with Personal Touches], [Xu Hui's Romantic Relationships]

Let me explain them one by one.

Yan Yuli does indeed have personality flaws. These were already apparent in the first two volumes: she's rather self-centered, unrealistic, and somewhat willful. After all, she comes from a tragic family background and was a child star who was pampered from a young age in the entertainment industry.

Actually, she often gets angry with Lin Han because she likes him, and deep down she is actually very insecure.

I understand that what people are unhappy about is not "Yan Yuli" herself, but "Lin Han always spoils her," which they find ridiculous and stupid.

I actually explained it later.

Lin Han thought he was "repaying the kindness of her," but he didn't know that he had always liked her; he was a hypocrite.

Overall, it was my fault for not managing the situation well. If I had given Yan Yuli more screen time and laid more groundwork, perhaps people wouldn't have felt that she was "smarter than they thought."

Lin Han and Yan Yuli are not at fault; it's my problem.

The second problem is that the song contains personal agendas.

The main issue is dissatisfaction with the plagiarized songs "Take Off" and Lu Han's "Our Tomorrow".

The former was due to my insufficient understanding; I thought it was just a simple cover song, not plagiarism.

The latter song is actually quite good, but I didn't expect everyone to have such a strong opinion about Lu Han.

I usually consider many factors when choosing songs.

Either it's suggestions from other users in the comments section, which I find acceptable and then use. (This is the most common scenario.)

Sometimes the song fits the storyline so well that I use it as a theme to elevate the plot, and sometimes I use it for comedic effect. (A few exceptions)

I personally like very few pieces that I'd like to recommend to everyone; they mostly appear in classical music. (Please, please listen to "Salut d'Amour"!)

I've already written the fourth volume, but I still take every song very seriously.

The song-title-based chapters that people think are superficial actually contain song analyses that I spent a lot of time researching and finding information about. Each of these chapters takes more than an hour to complete.

I know most of you will probably skim through this, but as long as there's a small group of readers who genuinely want a deeper understanding of the song's meaning, I'll continue doing this thankless task. I just hope you'll stop calling it "coffee water" QAQ

The last question is about Xu Hui's love life.

I apologize to all the hamsters who felt upset after reading this!

From the very beginning, Coffee intended to draw inspiration from her own real-life experiences to write about Hui Ge's romantic storyline, which was destined to have a bad ending.

In particular, Xu Hui's first confession at the garbage dump was 80% a replica of reality.

This story is based on a true story that happened in July 2022. Although the outcome was different (I succeeded), the clown ultimately achieved the same result.

Do you remember the character named "Xiao Mu" from the very beginning of this book? She was Yan Yuli's best friend.

Why was it never mentioned again? Did the coffee company forget to fill this huge hole?

Because this character was created by Coffee's ex-girlfriend.

Therefore, Coffee is definitely not making fun of Xu Hui and his brothers, nor is it just for the sake of making a fuss. I will not use my own wounds to disgust everyone. I was very serious when I wrote Xu Hui's story.

However, I didn't expect that my writing was too realistic, causing people to get too involved and resulting in unpleasantness.

Therefore, it ends with a novel-style ending featuring a "puppy".

This is a problem with coffee; as creators, we shouldn't bring our emotions to the public.

Many people come here for entertainment, not to see the Clown King.

Gomme Nasse!

What happens next?

The title of this volume is "Campus Legend," but it's actually about everyday romance.

That's why everyone feels the main storyline is dragging on.

In the next volume, "Reaching the Pinnacle," Lin Han will completely leave the campus and go all out to enter the entertainment industry.

He will be met with countless enemies lurking in the shadows.

Business battles, shady dealings, unspoken rules, and a war of public opinion—the Chestnut Agency is the first major boss. Watch how Lin Han turns danger into safety!

Please continue to support me in the days to come, and I will read all your opinions and comments.

Coffee, too, has grown step by step, slowly through writing books. Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey.

Having said all that, here's a picture of me in women's clothing. I'd be even better if you could give me some votes.

001. A new light novel!

Before we knew it, it was already the end of November.

If Lin Han hadn't received a call from editor Zhu Yeqing, he might have almost forgotten that he had a novel in the competition.

"Coffee Teacher, the final selection for the Best Book Award is just around the corner. Have you finished writing the latest volume yet? Releasing a new volume now will greatly help us get into the Top 10!"

"Does that mean I can't make it into the top ten if I don't release the latest volume?" Lin Han retorted.

"Uh..." Bamboo Leaf Green awkwardly pretended to cough twice.

Lin Han could tell at a glance that the editor simply wanted to urge for more updates.

Can't make it into the TOP 10?

How can it be!

You should know that "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" has now become the bible for otaku in China!

If a shut-in hasn't read "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," then he can't be called a qualified "anime fan" and can only lead a relatively unsuccessful life.

As the most well-known and authoritative light novel competition in China, the top 10 of the Niu Shang Awards are closely related to the sales and popularity of the works.

Given the popularity of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," it's not just a top 10 anime this year; it could easily crack the top ten in the history of JC Light Novel Publishing.

The only remaining question is whether they will win the gold medal.

Because once you win the gold award, you will be given the title of "the light of Chinese light novels", and your work may be sent to foreign competitions and exported overseas after being translated.

To put it bluntly, it represents the face of the Celestial Empire!

Nobody wants to submit a lowbrow, pandering novel as the "shining light of Chinese light novels" to an international competition, right?

Therefore, popularity can only be used as a reference when selecting the Gold Award; the more important factor is JC Staff's attitude.

Lin Han considers it a success if he can get into the top three and make easy money; he doesn't plan to even think about winning the championship.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Han said,

"Ok."

"Really?" Zhu Yeqing asked excitedly.

You should know that Coffee Teacher has been late with updates for a long time, and the editorial department receives a lot of crazy letters from fans every day.

However, given Coffee Sauce's previous feat of updating three volumes at once, Bamboo Leaf Green felt too embarrassed to urge him. This time, she made a phone call under the pretext of receiving a reward, just to give it a try.

"Really," Lin Han said. "I'll send you the latest volume and the manuscript of the new book this weekend."

"Okay... wait a minute?"

Zhu Yeqing suspected there was something wrong with her ears.

"What did you say? A new book??"

"Correct."

The bamboo leaf viper was shocked.

It's worth noting that Coffee Sauce, as a new author, has already updated five volumes of her debut novel, "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," in just over three months since its release.

And the second installment is coming out soon?!

"Coffee Teacher, what kind of novelistic marmalade are you?!"

"What does that mean?" Lin Han was taken aback.

"Only Orange Jam has such a workaholic spirit! And you wrote a novel, I think even Orange Jam herself would be ashamed if she knew!"

"Don't call me that nickname again next time." Lin Han was genuinely embarrassed. If Zhu Yeqing were in front of Lin Han right now, he would see a sweaty soybean.

"Why? Doesn't Teacher Coffee like marmalade?"

"do not like."

Lin Han didn't intend to argue with Zhu Yeqing, and hung up the phone after saying that.

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Yeqing's phone froze in mid-air, her face blank.

A passing snow rabbit saw this and curiously waved its hand in front of her.

"What are you doing? Why do you look so desperate?"

"My crush doesn't like my other crush." ​​Zhu Yeqing was in tears.

"What the hell??"

......

That evening, after finishing the eighth volume of "Saekano: The Rise of a Nobody's Girlfriend," Lin Han sat down at his computer and began brainstorming ideas for a new book.

He said he was brainstorming ideas for a new book, but actually he was just picking books from the library.

Lin Han chose to write novels because his songwriting had reached a point of saturation, which is why he wrote "Saekano: The Boring Girlfriend".

As it turns out, the effect was outstanding. Even before the anime adaptation of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" was released, there were already a lot of popular memes online.

For example, the principle of benefiting others through radiation.

More importantly, this novel also indirectly made a monumental contribution.

It allowed Lin Han to successfully and unharmed extricate himself from Pop Media.

All these achievements made light novels a side business that Lin Han had to take seriously.

"Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" broke the existing pattern of light novels in this world with its excellent otaku fantasies and elements that appeal to otaku, and redefined a wave of "romance novels".

As a result, more and more similar harem novels have emerged in the past three months.

This time, Lin Han plans to change direction; he's already messed with romance novels enough.

According to Lin Han's understanding, there are quite a few light novels about hot-blooded isekai (another world) stories in this world.

Most of them tell classic tales, where the protagonist fights his way up, levels up, grows step by step, experiences joys and sorrows, and finally defeats the great demon king, standing at the pinnacle of the world, somewhat like the "Inuyasha" type.

These novels may experience some hardships along the way, and may even lose an important supporting character.

Overall, it's a pretty cheerful story. The main characters win more often than they lose, and the main characters all live happily ever after.

If Lin Han were to write an invincible system novel like "The Rising of the Shield Hero" or "The Story of My Reincarnation as a Slime," the effect would definitely be explosive.

However, Lin Han is destined for an even bigger job.

He typed the title of his new book onto the computer.

Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-

This novel, written by Japanese author Tappei Nagatsuki, is a "other world" novel that can be described as completely anti-human.

When any viewer watches the animated adaptation of this novel for the first time, their attitude towards the author will undergo the following changes:

The author has such a vivid imagination!

Is the author in good mental condition?

Is the author deliberately trying to disgust us?

You motherfucker, you old scoundrel Changyue, you deserve to die!

Re:Zero has been controversial since its inception, precisely because of its bold writing style, which has a kind of beauty that disregards the lives of the audience.
