Fantasy System

Dengeki Bunko headquarters in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

In the afternoon, the hot summer weather makes people's mind uncontrollably irritable.

Fortunately, the editor's office is air-conditioned, Kagurazaka Iris is lying on the table, a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the glass of Coke in front of him, considering whether to add a few ice cubes to it, to better release his body "enthusiasm".

"Kagurazaka, your courier."

At this time, a tall and mature woman with short black hair and wearing the same black uniform skirt as Kagurazaka Iris placed a courier in front of Kagurazaka Iris , said with a smile.

"Thank you, Machida."

Kagurazaka Iris straightened up, crossed her arms and stretched out, thanked the short-haired beauty in front of her.

In front of her is the editor of Dengeki Bunko, named Sonoko Machida. Since she is responsible for many light novels by best-selling authors, and is mainly responsible for the best-selling "Love Metronome", the outstanding achievements of Dengeki Bunko She has now become the deputy editor-in-chief of the second group, and it is said that she may be promoted to the position of editor-in-chief in a short time.

"You're welcome, just now I just received a contribution from a recent signer and saw a copy of your email, so I brought it back."

Sonoko Machida sat opposite, put a stack of documents on the table, looked at the listless Kagurazaka Iris and smiled and said: "Kagurazaka, why do you look listless, maybe you have more authors in there .”

"These days, I can only sleep for two hours a day because of the issues with these authors, but in fact, those authors combined are not as good as Miss Machida's "Love Metronome" by Kasumi Shiko."

Kagurazaka Iris picked up the courier documents on the table and complained while opening them.

"Almost, isn't the sales volume of Masaru Senju's "Fantasy Demon Sword" and "Love Metronome" about the same? If this goes on, Kagurazaka, you will sooner or later become the deputy editor-in-chief of a team." Sonoko Machida waved his hand chuckled lightly.

[Here, the senior sister is strengthened, please don't complain, I have read the original book and know that the sales volume of the senior sister is 500,000. 】

"Hehe, Ms. Machida is the one. When Kasumi Shiko's new book starts, maybe you can become the editor-in-chief." Kagurazaka Ayame praised with a smile. I believe that it won't be long before Machida Sonoko is responsible for the best-selling author, and Kasumi Shiko will be able to make her a qualified editor-in-chief.

"Shi-chan, even if I urge her now, her new book is not well-conceived. With her personality, she may not be able to write any type of new book." Machida Sonoko spread her hands and smiled wryly.

"Hehe, maybe it can surpass the sales volume of love metronomes."

"hope so."

 …

After the two had a typical wave of commercial bragging.

Kagurazaka Iris just coughed, got serious, and talked about the development of light novels: "Although I really want to cultivate some best-selling authors, but the recent light novels are getting more and more routine, and the same feeling really I don’t like it very much. Is it because of the fire of ACG culture that light novels can only become commercialized literature and degenerate light novels? It’s no different from web novels if it goes on like this.”

"It's true. At this stage, I have found more than a dozen novels imitating the style of "Love Metronome." Machida Sonoko said with a helpless wry smile: "Some people even use their pen names to something." Xia Shi "Or copy the introduction of Love Metronome to attract people...."

"When a novel is popular to a certain extent, many imitators will naturally appear. Even if we don't submit a manuscript, other publishing houses will agree to it for the sake of economy."

Kagurazaka Iris shook his head.

In fact, these stereotyped novels,

Kagurazaka Iris has been tired of watching it for a long time, and she is also worried about the light novel industry. In this era, the popularity of light novel culture has affected the whole world. Naturally, countless light novel writers have been born, including eunuchs who gave up halfway through writing, authors who dug holes and ran away without filling them, leaving poor readers to cry in the pits, and authors who couldn't stand readers' comments and left, etc.

Although I have only been an editor for a few years, Kagurazaka has seen too many authors of all kinds.

Therefore, in order to avoid this series of chain reactions, many people choose to write follow-up works. For example, if they see readers who like "Fantasy Demon Sword", some authors will write books with similar styles to attract readers and earn money. take profit.

There are too few novels that can be written with her own personality. Thinking of this, Kagurazaka Iris could not help but think of "Accelerated World" brought by Mu Fan. This work broke her understanding of the development of light novels today. I just don't know what benefits this unique novel will have when it is released.

Kagurazaka Iris sighed, and took out the documents inside. When he opened it and saw the contents inside, he was overjoyed, because it contained the documents signed by Mu Fan and the follow-up plot of "Accelerated World".

Kagurazaka Iris couldn't help but took out the file of the follow-up plot and read it carefully.

Wonderful, really wonderful!

Kagurazaka Iris read the next plot of "Accelerated World" with excitement in her heart. At the beginning, she was still a little worried that Mu Fan, as a newcomer author, would not be able to control the next chapter even if he wrote a different opening text. The plot, but looking at the next plot of Accelerated World, it does not procrastinate, but proceeds step by step. With her years of editing experience, there is no possibility of a global collapse.

If Mu Fan hadn't said that he was serializing, Kagurazaka Iris would really think that Mu Fan gave the manuscript to her after it was finished.

At this moment, Kagurazaka Iris seems to be able to see a rising star in the light novel world.

"Kagurazaka, what happened to be happy about?"

Machida Sonoko couldn't help asking Kagurazaka who was looking at the document with a smile on her face.

"nothing!"

Kagurazaka Iris will naturally not tell Machida Sonoko that she encountered a novel that may affect the light novel world for the time being. Although she and Machida are good friends, there must always be some competition in a company.

Now Machida Sonoko has become the deputy editor-in-chief of the second group because of "Love Metronome" and some high-selling novels, but she is still only an editor-in-chief. Personally, Kagurazaka Iris is naturally unwilling to lose to Sonoko Machida.

After thinking about it, Kagurazaka Iris bid farewell to Sonoko Machida, and began to prepare for Mu Fan's light novel, and sent a part of Mu Fan's light novel file to the mailbox of teacher "Eromana", and marked I hope that Mr. "Eromanga" will agree to draw illustrations for the accelerated world.

As Mu Fan's newcomer, the first publicity is the famous artist "Eromanga". As long as someone can open this light novel because of the illustrations, it will be able to attract a certain popularity for Mu Fan.

Next, Dengeki Bunko's recommendation is needed, and Mu Fan's "Accelerated World" can be sold as soon as possible.

After hesitating for a while, Kagurazaka Iris took the manuscript of "Accelerated World" and walked to the editor's office.
