My Name is Kosaka Kyosuke but I Don't Want to Be Pushed Down by My Sister

"..."

I really want to hit my head to death--

38 How can it be so easy

Kosaka Kyousuke was a little hesitant, whether or not Wugeng Liuli should help with the submission of the manuscript this time. After all, Wugeng Liuli spent too much effort on this novel, and if he was really rejected, he was really worried that Wugeng Liuli would be so I was devastated, and at the same time worried that if I helped, it would be a disservice.

After all, the path of a novel writer depends on oneself, and it cannot be accomplished with the help of one person.

He can find out which library Wugeng Liuli contributed to, and he can also use the resources at hand to interfere with the publishing house's decision to pass the review, and in the future, every book of Wugeng Liuli will be able to pass the review, but... even if So what if you pass the review, everything you want to become a professional novelist depends on sales.

It is meaningless without a market, and it is up to Wugeng Liuli itself to decide whether a novel is a best seller.

After pondering for a moment, he finally decided not to help.

However, I still gave Editor Zemu a phone call, wanting to learn about the situation from Editor Zemu, and at the same time fulfill my original promise. Anyway, Editor Zemu has contributed to this, and in the future about Wugeng Liuli's affairs should still use the other party.

The call was answered almost immediately.

"Editor Choki?"

"Well, it's me... Is it President Takasaka?"

"That's right, did Black Cat ask you to review manuscripts recently?"

"No, she just asked me some questions about the subject matter of the novel. Judging from her questions, it seems that she wants to write a short story about gods and monsters with the background of the Warring States Period. I don't know much about the specific situation. .”

"Well, I see."

Speaking of Kosaka Kyosuke hung up the phone, and sent a text message to the secretary, naming Editor Zeki to be responsible for the cooperation between the company and Angle Library in the future. With his call, although it cannot make Editor Zeki rich, It can also improve its status and treatment in Angle Library.

Putting down the phone, I couldn't help but think about it.

(Ghosts? Witch monsters?

etc--

Wouldn't it be a story about a witch and a monster? )

To be honest, at this moment, he was really curious about Wugeng Liuli's short story, what kind of business novel Wugeng Liuli would write.

Glancing at the coin in his hand, Kyosuke Kosaka lay down on the bed and fell asleep, then went straight back to the studio after waking up, and his life returned to a normal track here, but two days passed like this, but he received a call from editor Zeki phone.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Your friend's pseudonym this time won't be... Chiba's Saint Black Cat?"

"Chiba's holy black cat? If it's the name, it should be her. What's wrong?"

"She submitted a manuscript to our library. The manuscript was reviewed by another colleague of mine. It has already passed the manuscript. Do you want me to send you a copy?"

Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

Wugeng Liuli said that this time he did not submit an article to the Angle Library, and his feelings were being mysterious. Of course, he also understood that Wugeng Liuli would do this to prove himself to the Angle Library. In fact, it is not difficult to think about it. There are only a few well-known light novel libraries, and Wugeng Liuli doesn't have many choices. As long as he has a little understanding of the styles of these libraries, he can guess which library Wugeng Liuli has contributed to, but he is not so Just do it.

"No need, have you read the manuscript?"

"Well, I've already read it. If I didn't think the name of Chiba's Holy Black Cat looks familiar, I really wouldn't be able to associate this novel with your friend."

"dramatic change?"

"It's completely changed the style. In the past, the protagonists of her novels were the kind of characters who seemed to be secondary, not only the protagonist, but also other characters, and all kinds of settings were suddenly thrown out one by one, and they fought back and forth. But now this one is completely different in terms of narrative method and plot control..."

Thanks to Kyosuke Takasaka who is a manga artist, he has a better understanding of the meaning of these words to control the plot, otherwise I really don’t understand what editor Zeki is talking about.

But he doesn't care much about these, he still has a lot of things to do.

Therefore, it directly interrupted the following words of Editor Zemu.

"Stop talking about that, just get straight to the point, what do you think of this novel?"

Editor Zemu, who was talking very lively before, was silent for a moment before saying: "For your friend, her transformation this time is really huge, and it can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into this novel. Yes, but to be honest... I'm not optimistic about the performance of this novel, and if it wasn't for the fact that the theme of the Warring States period has become more popular recently, such a quality might not even pass the review."

This answer did not exceed Kyosuke Kosaka's expectations, and he even felt that Wugeng Liuli might not pass the trial, and it was already very remarkable to be able to pass the trial.

"What's the problem?"

"She is too obsessed with the macro setting, so the proportion of the plot has become weaker. It's not that this style is not good, but that her writing skills are too weak to control this style. Well, President Kosaka, you are right. She should have some understanding of poetry, right? Her current style is to present an epic in a few lines."

Kyosuke Takasaka naturally understood what Editor Choki said.

After all, comics and novels are actually a kind of creation, but they act differently.

Wugeng Liuli's problem boils down to lack of talent and experience, at least whether he can make up for his lack of talent by working hard to improve his writing skills in the future depends on whether Wugeng Liuli has such perseverance.

"Well, I see. Let's just leave it at that. Just pretend you haven't made this call."

"Ok."

After Kosaka Kyosuke hung up the phone, he threw the matter to the back of his mind, not because he didn't care, but because there was nothing he could do about it. If Wugeng Liuli wanted to become a professional author, he still had to rely on his own perseverance. It is not a problem if the sales of a work is not good after the draft is passed. After all, this is the first step, and the main problem is the submission of the next novel.

Editor Zemu also said before that if this novel could not pass the review if it did not happen to catch up with the popular review loosening, then whether the next novel could pass the review would also become a question.

After all, when the next novel is written, it is likely that the review will become strict again because of the appearance of a large number of similar themes. At that time, it will be very difficult for Wugeng Liuli to stand out from the crowd and pass the review. At that time, Wugeng Liuli will ask for Facing rejections again and again, this short story is likely to be the swan song in her career.

39 Always take that step

The next day, Kyosuke Kosaka received a call from Wugeng Liuli. If he didn't answer, he could probably guess why. It was nothing more than the fact that the novel had passed the review.
