There is something wrong with my dating simulator

Lin Yuanshan suddenly felt that this was a public execution of him.

"Okay, but on the other hand, if you lose, our literature club will be short of a member. Please join the literature club and ensure your attendance."

"A word is settled!"

[Izumi Sagiri and Nagato Yuki made a bet]

Chapter 12 is suddenly animated?

[You went to school with Izumi Sagiri]

[You and Izumi Sagiri went to the literature club activity room together]

[Yuki Nagato's novel "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" has been published on the web]

To be honest, facing a genius like Nagato Yuki who has at least level 5 skills, Lin Yuanshan really doesn't think he has any chance of winning.

This time, Lin Yuanshan even watched Nagato Yuki type out "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" word by word in the activity room.

However, Izumi Sagiri still looks confident.

Because her light novel skills are not high enough, she cannot see the gap between "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World" and "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".

After all, the two films have different themes and genres, so it is somewhat difficult to compare them together.

[Hekawa Tsubasa heard about your bet and found it very interesting, so she also participated in the literature club activities.]

"Hey, Hayashi-san, what is Izumi-san drawing? It looks amazing!"

"Fats."

"Eh? Can something this extreme appear in an illustration?"

"Class monitor, if you haven't read light novels, I suggest you read a few first before joining in the fun."

Compared with the other two people, Lin Yuanshan's work is not as busy, but he also needs to carefully revise the parts marked in red by the editor in the manuscript.

At this time, the only idle person in the activity room was Hanekawa Tsubasa who came to join in the fun.

“Although I haven’t read the light novel, I have read a lot of comics~”

She talked to herself but received no response from those who were busy with their work.

"By the way, Lin, you are a best-selling author. Do you really think that a random work written by Nagato can surpass yours?"

[Nagato Yuki gets the attention of Kadokawa Bunko editor]

"Ah...someone contacted me to discuss publishing..."

Nagato's words did not surprise many people.

Even Sagiri Izumi understood that the publication of a work of this level was almost certain.

It's just that she was confident that she could crush the newly debuted Nagato in terms of sales.

"Class monitor, let's talk about comics."

Lin Yuanshan said perfunctorily:

"What comics do you usually read?"

For a type like Hanekawa Tsubasa, I can probably only talk about comics that are well-known to everyone, right?

"I've been reading that... that comic about a group of people sailing on the sea. I can't remember the name!"

"One Piece?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The rubber man in the comic is always looking for the one piece! I heard from my classmates that this comic is amazing. It has been the best-selling comic for six consecutive years!"

As expected, Hanekawa Tsubasa probably hasn't really read "many comics" and just heard a sentence or two of casual conversation occasionally.

In other words, she and the people in the literature club are not from the same world.

Among the other three people in the club, even Lin Yuanshan has some characteristics of being a marginal person, while Hanekawa Tsubasa is a person who is in the "group".

"But I think if Izumi were to draw a manga, it would definitely be better than that 'One Piece'!"

In the face of Hanekawa Tsubasa's compliments, Izumi Sagiri still ignored them.

Since she had made such a bold promise, she naturally wanted to do her illustration work to perfection.

The light novel industry in Japan claims that if you buy toilet paper you get illustrations for free. Although Lin Yuanshan's works are far from being called toilet paper, the illustrations can indeed be said to be one of the souls of a light novel.

In Neon, there are many all-round writers who can both draw illustrations and write light novels, and Yamada Fairy is one of the representatives.

It’s a pity that this girl is too willful and won’t start writing until the deadline. She should have been caught by the editor and thrown into a small dark room to finish the manuscript, right?

Seeing that Izumi Sagiri was completely ignoring her, Hanekawa Tsubasa spoke again:

"Believe me, I think Izumi-san's drawings are much better than that 'One Piece'."

But the only person in this room who would pay attention to her was Lin Yuanshan.

“Comics are not just about looking good. Unlike illustrations, comics are the most difficult to write, whether it’s the requirements for storyboards, the depiction of scenes, or even the creation of plots and characters.

It can be said that only those who stand at the top of the pyramid in the ACG field will get involved in the comics field."

"Eh? Is it that difficult? I thought comics would sell well as long as you come up with a good story and draw it beautifully!"

"Well... you could say that. By the way, monitor, if you have nothing to do, please help me take a look at the manuscript and give me some advice."

Naturally, Hanekawa Tsubasa had no reason to refuse.

As she took the manuscript, she said:

"I've thought about drawing comics before, but everything I drew looked like stick figures, and people couldn't understand it at all."

"In the industry, there are comics that are still popular even if they are drawn like stick figures."

"Eh? Why don't I give it a try? I've already thought of the plot."

As she spoke, she looked up at the two busy girls in the activity room, who were seemingly competing with each other.

"It's about two girls with the same name who meet by chance on a... um... snowy day."

"You came up with this plot now, right?"

"Don't expose me, Lin, let me think about it..."

As he said this, Hanekawa Tsubasa looked at Izumi Sagiri.

"One of them looks delicate and weak, but she is strong inside,"

Then I looked at Nagato Yuki.

"The other one is a little bit eccentric, but he is soft and fragile at heart."

"Then, when you write a story like this, there must be a theme, right? You can't just draw girls chatting, right?"

"Then just pick a random theme. The light music club in our school is not very popular, so let them do some rock music. Anyway, the theme must be about love or something, and the ending must be tragic enough to make everyone cry."

As Hanekawa Tsubasa spoke, he flipped open Lin Yuanshan's manuscript.

Lin Yuanshan poured himself a glass of water and said:

"Then I wish your comics success."

"Haha, I'm just saying it casually. There's no way I'm really going to draw a comic."

[Your skill---"Painting lv2" is upgraded to "Comic lv2"]

I was just chatting, but my skills were upgraded?

But upgrading from painting to comics is more like a job change than an upgrade?

[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was given the opportunity to be published]

It seems that Yuki Nagato has already finalized the publishing matters.

Your light novel "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World" has been given the opportunity to be adapted into an anime.

The editor quickly contacted Lin Yuanshan and told him that Kadokawa Books was planning to make an animation for its best-selling work.

[The editor lets you choose the animation production team, you decide to choose---]

[1. The veteran animation production team JCstaff has extensive experience in light novel animation and is the editor's first choice.]

[2. If the newly established animation company Studio Bind agrees, "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World" will become the company's main animation for this quarter.]

Chapter 13 Zhuge Sagiri is online

Although he seems to have a great advantage now, Lin Yuanshan still clearly remembers his and Izumi Sagiri's identities as "Tokyo orphans".

If both of them didn't happen to have some talent, the current plot would probably be closer to "Nobody Knows".

At present, "Re:Zero" is the most important long-term meal ticket for the two, especially Izumi Sagiri, who believed in herself, stopped all business orders, and concentrated on novel illustrations.

I have absolutely no reason to let her down.

Although he doesn't have to defeat Nagato Yuki, and emotionally Lin Yuanshan even wants to lose, it is impossible for him to deliberately lower the quality of the novel to let her win.

The same is true for this animation. As an important milestone in the commercialization of light novels, if the animation is not done well, it will easily force the sales of the novels to decline.

Therefore, there is often a saying in the industry that "it was tragically adapted into an animation".

Compared to comic adaptations with mature and stable storyboards and character designs, light novels in text form are more likely to fail after being adapted into comics, and even the production team may not be able to control the final result.

So if Lin Yuanshan had to choose, he would definitely not choose JC Company, which is unable to treat its own works "wholeheartedly", even if it has more experience in light adaptation.

You chose Studio Bind as the company for the animation.

You discussed with the new director of Studio Bind.

[Studio Bind attaches great importance to this project and has made additional investment in the series]

[The theme song of "Re:Zero" was composed and sung by the famous JAM Project]

[Yamada the Fairy cries with greed and asks you for Kageyama Hironobu's autograph]

[“How can I have such a thing?” You replied.]

[A few months later, the anime series of "Re:Zero" was broadcast]

[The TV series "Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World" is very popular and has even become popular outside the circle]

[All the female students in the class who knew nothing about animation have heard of this work]

[Izumi Sagiri's willingness to go to school has increased]

This is the first time I have seen such a strange reason for going to school.

[The TV series "Re:Zero" brings the novel to a level that does not belong to it]

Hey, hey, hey, this sounds a bit hurtful!

["Re:Zero" was shortlisted for the "This Light Novel is Amazing" award that year and ranked fourth]

[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ranked fifth in the list of the best light novels of the year]

[On the day the results were revealed, Izumi Sagiri bought champagne online and slid down on her knees in the living room to celebrate]

[You spent the whole afternoon cleaning the champagne stains from the ceiling]

[The next day, Izumi Sagiri walked into the activity room with a proud look on her face, holding a selection poster that read "This light novel is amazing"]

"It seems that you are no match for us whether in sales or selection!"

The sales of light novels for the same year have also been released.

"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" lost by a narrow margin.

Of course, everyone knows that this is because "Re:Zero" barely won the first place with the help of the animation.

And "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" is about to be adapted into an animation.

The production team is the famous Kyoto Animation, so it can be said that it is a foregone conclusion that this novel will be a big seller next year.

Therefore, although she was showing off, Izumi Sagiri did not mention anything like "buying ten books and reading aloud in public".

Probably because of a guilty conscience.

However, Nagato Yuki didn't care about these things. She just looked at Lin Yuanshan with an apologetic look.
