The target is light novel master

40 Growth of childhood sweetheart

"what……"

Yawning, Ying Lili put the book next to the pillow, then sank down, and pulled the quilt to her neck.

"Qianyu has really improved... It seems that I have to work harder."

She stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling even more emotional than before.

Because I know something, I know how difficult it is.

Obviously at the beginning, she was just like most of the light novel authors who just debuted, no matter how good it is, it is definitely not much better, but the writing is very sincere, and she can feel it, so she likes the works of childhood sweethearts.

Otherwise, with her many years of ACG experience, even if she is the best friend, she would not be able to read such content.

Surprisingly, Qian Yu's growth rate after that was beyond her imagination.

Progress is fast.

If things go on like this, wouldn't Qian Yu surpass her soon?

Although light novels and book artists are not in the same field at all, and the difficulty is not the same, but as a childhood sweetheart since childhood, she is still a little unconvinced on one point.

This is definitely not jealousy, because she has long experienced the feeling of jealousy.

This is just pure childish psychology that wants to compare.

After all, his position in the heart is different from that person's.

However, this is also a problem.

As a book artist, there is a limit to what she can achieve. According to the current progress of her childhood sweetheart, she may be able to surpass herself in a short time. In some respects... she has already surpassed herself.

During this period of time, although I have made some progress, the speed has slowed down a lot.

"It's really a bit reconciled."

She couldn't help but compare them in her heart.

Qian Yu's "Ghost Slayer: Blade" may be able to sell hundreds of thousands or millions of copies, and the average volume can exceed [-]. With such a quantity, it is difficult for her book to sell so many copies, right?

Rather, it is simply impossible!

However, because she is not only a book artist, but also supported by the fan game club "egoistic-lily", in terms of fame, she is still higher.

"Is it possible to go ashore?"

Ying Lili thought about it for a while, but quickly gave up.

Drawing normal comics is not so easy. Although the future is great, it is just a flower in the mirror...

In terms of painting skills, she asked herself that the current self is good enough, but without a good story, what's the use?

In the field of painting, there is no shortage of people with superb painting skills, but most of those people have become original painters, or have been working as assistants of manga artists all the year round for the dream, and it is difficult to make a name for themselves.

"Hey……"

Ying Lili let out a long sigh, trying to get rid of these troubles and fall asleep, but her thoughts were messed up and she couldn't sleep all night.

She didn't expect that she would be so entangled.

The next day, early in the morning.

A girl with two panda eyes came to the dining table.

"What's the matter, Yinglili, did you suffer from insomnia yesterday?"

Sayuri Sawamura noticed her expression.

"Ah."

Ying Lili replied weakly.

"Could it be too much pressure?"

Sayuri Sawamura's eyes moved, as if she remembered something.

"Too much pressure? Where did you see it?"

Ying Lili didn't know why.

"Because that child has become excellent now, and even better than Ying Lili. With your personality, you must not be able to sit still."

Sayuri Sawamura spoke playfully.

Knowing a daughter is better than a mother.

I couldn't sleep all night because of the stress.

Her eyes are determined.

"Old hag...!"

Ying Lili thought secretly.

Can you guess this?

"It has nothing to do with Kasang."

The girl replied in a blunt tone.

"It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with that kid Qian Yu, right? How about talking to him, just to relax, I remember when you were in a bad mood, you used to ask him to go out to play, every night When I was sent back by that child, my face changed from cloudy to sunny..."

Mrs. Sawamura looked far away, as if caught in memories.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to recall that kind of thing! Why is your memory so good!"

Ying Lili's face became hot, and she quickly waved her hand, trying to gag her mother's mouth.

That's all for kids!How dare I go out alone now!Isn't that a date?

"If you don't listen to the elders, you will suffer in front of your eyes, Ying Lili, I have already reminded you, since you want to solve it yourself, then I will leave you alone."

Sayuri Sawamura made a tsundere 'angry' expression.

Not only the appearance, but also the lady's mentality is very young.

"Don't imitate me!"

Ying Lili couldn't see her mother's poor imitation of herself, she immediately raised her eyebrows angrily, and rushed over with all her teeth and claws.

……

Takasago Bookstore, on the afternoon of the sales day, was close to closing.

"Izumi-san, I have already finished reading the third volume. It is very well written. If the full score is 90 points, I can give you more than [-] points! This is a rare score."

When Sagiri dragged herself here, the clerk was closing the book in her hand.

"I'm very happy that Takasago-san can give me such a high evaluation... But fishing during working hours, is this really good?"

Izumi Chiha looked around.

"It's okay, because my father had time to come over this afternoon to take a look, so I took the time to finish reading the third volume of "Demon Slayer: Blade."

Takasago Chie smiled.

"Sister Hui, is there only so much left in the third volume of Nissan's "Blade of Demon Slayer"?"

When Sagiri came to the pile of books, she suddenly found that one of them had shrunk a lot.

"Yeah, because they were all sold out, and they sold unexpectedly well. The stock that was supposed to be sold for a week is not enough, and my father is already planning to order another copy tomorrow..."

Takasago Chie's gaze was rippling, and he glanced at him.

It seems to be expecting his expression.

41 Fallen Princess X Nezuko

"That's great."

Izumi Chiha could hardly hide the smile on her face.

It's like a cultivator can't help showing a joyful expression on his face after seeing a bumper harvest due to his hard work.

For him, better grades are the motivation to move forward. Even authors who generate electricity for love hope that more people will like their works.

"I knew Nissan would be rewarded after working so hard, and everyone saw it!"

Sagiri was equally happy, even more excited than himself.

"Paying does not mean that there will be rewards, especially in the world of creators, it must take more effort to create content that satisfies everyone, and to a certain extent, hard work can also be counted as A talent of Izumi-san."

Takasago Chie shook his head and said.

In her opinion, Izumi Chiha is also a 'genius'.

Rather, it will be like this in the eyes of many people.

Izumi Chiha's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't explain anything.

Although he thinks he is not a genius, it is entirely because of the legacy of the previous life that he can improve so quickly, but in the eyes of others, this is not the case.

If you blindly deny it, it is not modesty, but it becomes hypocrisy in the eyes of others.

From then on, this is equivalent to exerting a layer of public opinion pressure on himself.

Therefore, in the future, his performance had better be worthy of that of a 'genius', otherwise, ridicule would flood in.

However, pressure is also the ladder of human progress, as long as it is within the appropriate range, you can achieve faster growth.

And his goal is to become a master of light novels, if he does not become a 'genius', he will never be able to reach that level.

I bought a light novel that was recently released from Takasago Bookstore, and the two brothers and sisters returned home.

Along the way, Sagiri felt that she was alive and kicking when she walked, much lighter than before.

The younger sister's emotions were always clearly visible on the surface.

"Nissan, do you want to play a game?"

Sagiri sent out an invitation.

"can."

Izumi Chiha nodded in agreement.

Originally, he wanted to take the time to finish reading the light novels he just bought, but after seeing Sagiri's innocent smiling face, he couldn't bear to refuse after all.

It's okay, it's the same when you look at it later.

Anyway, he will have a period of time to rest.

Because of the inherent fatigue, he doesn't plan to work hard for the next fourth volume, as long as he reaches 80% to 90% of the third volume.

And it is estimated that the time will be reduced by more than half a month than before.

It is actually a helpless thing to be able to perceive and recognize your own limit at the moment, and then deal with it in an appropriate way.

Sagiri couldn't feel her brother's real mood at this time, because he had always covered it up.

The girl now just wants to have a joyful celebration with him.

……

On the other hand, Ying Lili, who has been fishing for a while, is about to start her own work.

In addition to her job as a book artist, she also has to be the main original artist for fan games in the club. Even though she has practiced for many years, it is quite difficult.

Fortunately, after more than a year of getting used to it, she gradually became more comfortable, and her working hours began to be reduced.

Although the progress of painters has slowed down a lot compared to before, but in terms of painting speed and accuracy, it can be regarded as an improvement in one aspect.

"Eri Kashiwagi, who has only been working for a year, wants to go ashore and become a manga artist, which is really naive."

Ying Lili laughed at herself and gave up that decision.

Although she usually looks full of arrogance, she is not so arrogant. After being boasted by fans, she thinks that she is not good enough and can do everything.

In fact, in terms of painting, her favorite thing, she has always had a very low self-esteem in her heart, but she has never told anyone else.

If she wants to become a cartoonist now, she is still not qualified.
