There is nothing much to say.

I hope everyone can vote and subscribe more.

That's it.

Add words to make up the ... Just a while ago, she accidentally learned about the existence of light novels while browsing the Internet, and she immediately became interested. Unlike other work and hobbies, after successfully submitting online, she can have free time to write.

So, she created the work "Love Metronome" and participated in the novel newcomer award.

Just as her life went smoothly before, when others thought it was difficult to write novels, her creation "Love Metronome" quickly soared to a high position, and the comments below were all rave reviews.

"At this level, debut is not a problem at all, right?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha checked the final review of previous years, and judged this result as it should be, and treated it as usual.

Because no one else knew that she was writing a novel online, she didn't see the changes in her comment area until she accidentally checked a few days later.

"This is a very good youth romance novel. Reading it is like tasting honey, which makes people indulge in that beautiful fantasy world. However, such perfection is flawed. I would like to provide some suggestions here, hoping that the author can see that the first is that the sweetness is too high, and the aftereffect is not enough, and it is difficult to savor it. It is like drinking a mouthful of sugar, and it is easy to get sick of it. Secondly, the plot is still naive, and the character's own shining points are not enough. The author should not have been exposed to the genre of light novels before. Although he has a strong talent, he cannot bring it out... If there is a chance to debut, I hope the author can work hard in these aspects, so that the next road will be smooth, otherwise it is easy to fall from the top of the mountain to the cliff. Of course, this is just my opinion, and the author does not need to refer to it. '

Although Hikigaya Hachiman stacked armor for himself in the end, the power of this sharp review is still real, first suppressing and then praising, and pointing out two very big shortcomings.

Such earnest advice cannot be exchanged for a different treatment, especially for Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Of course, she was very proud at this moment, and believed in her ability even more. Moreover, the ranking of the Newcomer Award has become the basis of her confidence.

So after reading this advice, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that her hard work was wasted.

"You said I wrote it too naively? Too sweet?"

She couldn't understand that the story in fantasy was naturally whatever the author wanted, and all this was the author's will.

If the love story is not sweet and naive, can it still be a love story?

The emotional and rational thinking of both parties are colliding, but under the preconceived circumstances, it is difficult to change people's will.

However, although Kasumigaoka Utaha disagreed, she remained polite in her reply.

"Thank you for the advice from this teacher. I have seen it, but creation is diverse, and everyone should have their own ideas. 』

From the comments below, she already knew that this was a light novel writer who had debuted and had good sales. This does not mean that the other party's views must be correct and must be suitable for her.

The first time in her life that she was denied, she felt emotional. After the emotion subsided, she rationally understood that the other party's starting point for giving her advice was indeed good.

A popular writer gave advice to an unknown creator, which meant that he was optimistic about the recognition. Otherwise, he would have directly exited the page.

Out of curiosity, she searched for the other party's information.

"The moonlight is so beautiful. Is he a popular writer with sales of nearly one million for his debut work "Summer Returns"?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu murmured.

She didn't know what level this achievement was in the industry, but this number was not a small number.

Close the browsing page.

"At least he is right about one thing. I should know more about light novels."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought about it carefully and seemed to be thinking about something.

Regarding her understanding of light novels, she actually referred to the submissions of the newcomer award and the same works as hers. The value of such a model is indeed not high enough.

If you think that you can see the full picture of light novels in this way, it is indeed a very arrogant idea.

So, she decided to start with "Summer Returns" to truly understand light novels.

…

Hikigaya Hachiman also saw Kasumigaoka Utaha's reply. He could feel the other party's firm belief and pride from her words.

He could understand this, after all, their lives were different.

As for whether the other party could hear his advice, he didn't care much, not to mention that what he said might not be suitable for the other party.

In his eyes, wanting to do something is a process of self-satisfaction. You do it just to make your thoughts clear, and the specific results are not important.

...

The next day.

Kasumigaoka Utaha bought a total of six volumes of the light novel "Summer Reappears", which cost a lot.

"This is my first time buying a light novel, I hope it won't disappoint you."

She started reading with the intention of appreciating it.

After a while, she finished reading the first volume.

"Is this a work with an average sales volume of more than 100,000? It's a bit unexpected, and it's indeed much better than those who won the rookie award, but that's it."

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little surprised and saw some highlights, it didn't exceed her imagination.

If that was all, she thought that as long as she could maintain the level of "Love Metronome", she could definitely achieve it.

Nevertheless, at least the quality of the work did not disappoint her, and the money she spent was not in vain, so she continued to read on.

Soon, Kasumigaoka Utaha discovered something, the visual experience of the work improved.

This shows that the author has made progress, which is not a strange thing.

Then the third volume, the fourth volume... until the sixth volume was finished.

Incredible.

During this period, she looked back and found that she was not distracted at all. Except for eating, she was almost immersed in the story, and she did not have the idea of ​​preparing a sharp review at the beginning.

"This story is very good, and the author is even better... Mr. Tsukiro?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her eyes, her eyes deep.

Although she did not have the divine eye skill of Yamada Fairy, she could also see something from the work.

She admitted that she had a new look at the teacher with the pen name "Tsukiro Mami" and had a more specific understanding.

But this does not mean that she has changed her mind.

I just think that if I can talk to such a person, I might get something special.

62 Recommendation Message

Summer vacation is about to end.

At this time, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly received another call from the editor.

"Tsukiro-sensei, do you want to write a recommendation message for "Silver Season"? "

The so-called recommendation message is the first means for the industry's predecessors to help the younger generation. The promotional picture will carry the book review of the popular writer, and use the reputation of the popular writer to call on their readers to support. To some extent, it is equivalent to PY in the era of online literature, but it is not so cheap.

Because this is actually risky. If you push the work blindly, it may cause the reputation to be damaged.

But if you recommend "Silver Season", there is no such worry. The quality of the work is definitely worthy of recognition.

What makes him feel emotional is that he is now qualified to do this kind of thing.

"Of course."

Hikigaya Hachiman agreed immediately.

Not to mention that he is familiar with Nayuta now, even if he doesn't know her, he will not refuse after reading such a work.

"Well, send it to me when you've made up your mind."

Machida Sonoko immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after, he received another message.

Kanayuta: Thank you, senior! If this goes on, I'll never be able to repay the favor I owe you in my lifetime! Senior, if you have any requests, please tell me!

Me: There's no need to be so serious, don't take it too seriously, I'm just doing what I want to do.

Kanayuta: Really, senior, you're only making me more embarrassed by saying that!

Me: I see, if I need anything, I'll find you.

Knowing that the girl was very stubborn on this topic, he had to agree to it, so as not to make it more awkward.

Kanayuta: Yes! As long as it's for senior, I can give everything!

"Hey."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed lightly, felt a little headache, and rubbed his temples.

If the girl gave it to him for free, what should he do?

Helping for the sake of strategy was really not his original intention!

Just one week after the start of school, the announcement of "Silver Season" began. There were a lot of resources. As a newcomer, only Senjumura Masaru could reach this unprecedented recommendation level.

Of course, no matter how strong the promotion is, it is impossible to convince potential readers before seeing the actual content.

What really caught their attention was the recommendation message above. In the corner of the promotional picture was his painting of his back, with the name "The moonlight is so beautiful".

"Under the lonely moonlight, lonely travelers, you and I are the same, like mayflies in the world... After reading it, I realized what is the most extreme love in the world, the pain of loneliness, and the beauty of hope. Do you want to feel it with me? ”

"How awkward, Onii-chan! What on earth are you talking about!"

When Komachi was going home, she saw this poster posted at the station. After returning, she found her brother to complain.

"Komachi, you are still too young. That's right, you haven't really entered the otaku culture circle after all, so you don't understand that this taste is just right! If you talk too seriously, there will be no topic. Young readers like this feeling."

Hikigaya Hachiman crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and said with a slightly smug look on his face.

"I really don't understand. I don't think Onii-chan is fooling me."

Komachi looked suspicious.

"Uh, half and half."

He suddenly opened his eyes and moved his eyebrows.

"So it's just to fool Komachi!"

The sister's mouth pursed.

It's the weekend again.

Today is Ms. Yamada's cooking instruction class.

Compared to the first teaching, which was full of loopholes, Hikigaya Hachiman is now very good at using a kitchen knife. He uses the strength of his wrist to easily and quickly cut potatoes into potato shreds.

After all, this is exchanged for dozens of band-aids!

In addition, he also learned many kinds of dishes, which can make him have three different meals a day for a week, and he thinks the taste is to his taste.

At this point, the cooking course is almost over.

After the instruction, he talked about this.

"It should have ended long ago! It took so long to learn it. I should not have agreed to teach you, an idiot, and I have wasted so much game time."

Yamada Fairy sat up straight, crossed her arms, and snorted.

"One day a week at most, and there are no classes. Of course it won't be that fast. In addition, Miss Yamada, you were playing games when you were instructing me, so there was no waste at all."

Hikigaya Hachiman argued.

"Anyway, thank me well!"

She said regardless.

"Of course, I have to thank you for your help, Ms. Yamada. Just consider it as a favor I owe you."

Hikigaya Hachiman said seriously.
