Chapter 2618: Kasumigaoka Utaha Just Wants to Prove Herself
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha has few friends, as a light novelist, and a full-time novelist who writes about love, it must be said that she understands human hearts and human nature...
So, after the publisher clearly stated that unless a miracle happened, "Love Metronome" would probably be cut short, she, who already had few friends, became even more reluctant to let people get close to her.
However, humans are social animals after all. Although Kasumigaoka Utaha, who knows that human hearts are treacherous, is unwilling to have intersections with people when she fails, emotionally, she also longs for someone to communicate with her, someone to comfort her, or...
Someone who can stand up and say to her when she loses confidence in "Love Metronome": ""Love Metronome" is so well written, whether it is the description of the text or the expression of emotions, it is so deeply rooted in people's hearts. Although the second volume will have some flaws compared to the first volume, but..."
Well, even if it is a fantasy, Kasumigaoka Utaha is also very clear-her second volume is indeed not that satisfactory.
But, what if? Just like a poor student who knows nothing will think after the exam, what if he guesses all the multiple-choice questions correctly, then he is only one step away from passing the exam? If God blesses him, he even hits a few fill-in-the-blank questions by accident, wouldn’t that be even more wonderful?
After all, the publisher also said that unless a miracle happens, otherwise, "Love Metronome" will basically face being cut off. Although this sounds very desperate, if you really think about it, can't it be understood that the publisher dare not say it for sure, maybe a miracle will really happen?
Although she herself is not very satisfied with the second volume of "Love Metronome", what if? What if the otakus like that? After all, she is not a otaku. Her unsatisfactory manuscript does not mean that otakus will be dissatisfied...
Well, in fact, she also knows that this is self-consolation. After all, she was in pain when writing the second volume, unlike when she wrote the first volume, she was simply writing like a god. She didn't even think much, just typed out the manuscript in a rush, and then, she didn't even make any revisions, and participated in the publisher's grand prize competition;
But even so - she was just in a rush, typed out the first volume without any preparation and submitted it, she was still very confident, because at that time, she felt that the characters and scenes she described in her writing could satisfy her, unlike the second volume...
Obviously, she thought more seriously when writing than the first volume, but she didn't know why, it was extremely painful to write. Even at the last moment, under the desperate urging of Machida Yuanzi, she still wrote the second volume, but as I said, she was not satisfied with it herself!
If not, she would not have doubted whether she had run out of ideas at that time...
In fact, the reason why Kasumigaoka Utaha shelved the writing plans of "Four Lies" and "Pancreas" and prepared to write mainly based on her own ideas was to prove that she had not run out of ideas. After all, although miracles happened ("Love Metronome" was very popular), it seemed to have little to do with her;
Especially the third volume, it was really influenced by Koumaro-chan, which made the always proud Kasumigaoka Utaha feel embarrassed? Although she also knew that the Doma brothers and sisters were as outrageous as monsters in some aspects, or even more weird than monsters, writing was her strong point. If she couldn't get rid of the influence of each other in writing, then what qualifications did she have to say that she was a creator?
However, the more she wanted to prove herself, the harder it was to write. There was no way. The ideas of "Four Lies" and "Pancreas" that Sougo Doma came up with were too classic. Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted to surpass him, so she could only try her best and rack her brains to think about it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have written even the beginning until now.
But the more this happened, the more she doubted whether she had really run out of ideas. Otherwise, how could she not come up with a better idea than "Four Lies" and "Pancreas"?
Fortunately, the series of writing plans and ideas such as "Four Lies" and "Pancreas" were all proposed by her Sougo-kun, and Sougo-kun, those who know, know that he was a man who could have entered the traditional literary world a few years ago. Although the mystery novels he wrote have been taken off the shelves and are unsalable,

I can't even find it if I want to...
But she has read it!
Not only had she read it, she had even shown it to Machida Sonoko. In the words of the old woman, "Are you kidding me? This is a mystery novel written by Sougo Tsuchima a few years ago? Why have I never seen it? Huh? It was taken off the shelves because it didn't sell well? Are you kidding me?
As a professional in the publishing industry, I can tell you responsibly that mystery novels of this level would definitely have people buying them even if they were still selling until now, not to mention when they were first released a few years ago! How could they be taken off the shelves because of poor sales?"
Listen, listen, the mystery novel written by Sougo a few years ago can still get such high reviews even now, and it's a mystery novel related to the traditional literary world. She, Kasumigaoka Utaha, would be crazy to compete with him in this regard, but...
As the old saying goes, Kasumigaoka Utaha also has her own pride. Although she knows in her heart that her talent is not as good as his, deep in her heart, she is still unwilling to admit defeat even in places she has never noticed!
Besides, although Sougo-kun has been able to publish mystery novels that rely on the traditional literary world a few years ago, what she wants to challenge is not traditional literature, but light novels, well...
Varied? Sougo-kun’s light novel skills aren’t bad either? After all, he is also a homebody himself.
But, but, the series of writing projects such as "Four Lies" and "Pancreas" proposed by Sougo-kun were not proposed by him after careful consideration - they were just things he picked up casually from people around him. It’s just the materials. Who can’t do this?
Couldn't she, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, find materials from herself and then refine them to surpass Sougo-kun? You must know that whether it is "Four Lies" or "Pancreas", etc., they are just suggestions that Sougo-kun casually said. If she can't even surpass the plan that the other party proposed casually, then she...
etc! Varied? Isn't "Metronome of Love" just about her finding material from herself, and then...
Come on, when she wrote "Metronome of Love", she didn't have a single friend around her. The emotions, experiences, and even the male protagonist were all just imagined by her. Can that be called material?
In fact, in "Metronome of Love", except for the heroine Sayuka who used her own image as a reference, most of the other materials came from the novels she has read and the galgames she has played...
Of course, the reference to the novel and galgame does not mean that she plagiarized the plot, but the fantasy plot that she extended after reading the novel and playing galgame; of course, it is precisely because of this that " The male protagonist of "Love Metronome" has a common problem with most male protagonists in light novels——
In other words, except for Asasi, he is useless!
On the other hand, things are different now. She not only has bad friends with whom she can fight, but also a little golden retriever who can often tease her. Even the image of the male protagonist has begun to enrich...
It can be said that: It was precisely because she could find more and more materials from herself that Kasumigaoka Shiu decided to write a new book according to her own ideas.
