NOVEL NEXT Chapter 278 Creating Light Novels
"You can't block "True Notes of Spirit Detectives" in a too direct way, then you can only use the most direct method, which is to write a light novel that is even more popular than it!"
The proposal given by Yae Miko is a situation that will appear in the novel world.
The lifespan of a novel is about 1-30 years, and the hottest period is about 3-10 years. Once this time passes, its popularity will plummet and be replaced by new books that appear one after another. It is inevitable, because a story will not always be liked, and there will always be a day of aesthetic fatigue.
However, it is very difficult to replace the recently popular book with a new book in a short period of time, at least for someone like Yu Suzumiya who has no experience in writing novels.
Yae Miko is the editor-in-chief of Yae-do. Every month, she has to review all the new light novels published by Shiramoto. Only the books that can be selected by her can be published. The pass rate is only about 10%. The pass rate is even a poor 3%.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that writing a novel is not an easy task. For a novice like Yu Suzumiya, it is almost impossible to challenge the most popular book recently.
But what happened to Yae Miko's confident expression? Does she believe in herself, or in Suzumiya Yuu?
"It's that simple, but let alone go beyond "Real Detective Notes", just writing a light novel that can explode is a very difficult thing." Suzumiya Yu said, this task is really a bit It is probably impossible to persuade him to complete it.
"Difficult?" Yae Miko smiled slightly, "Other people might nod their heads in agreement, but for you, writing a good light novel is an extremely simple thing. "
After finishing speaking, Yae Kamiko made a special trick: "Do you know what is the most important thing in writing a novel?"
"It's an experience. Only after experiencing things that ordinary people can't believe, and then editing it in an exaggerated way, this is a light novel. This is how "Real Spiritual Notes" was written. The strange stories recorded in it, These are all things that really happened in Daozuma, but few people know about it.”
Incorporating the real experience in reality into the novel will give the author a strong sense of substitution, so that he can write better works. Needless to say, Yae Miko, Suzumiya Yu who has never written a novel knows this. .
However, Suzumiya Yu's real experience.
Reincarnated from another world to Tevat, became the devil Mai Tsuji Mumi and then began to run amok until finally ruling the world?
This theme is a bit too outrageous. It is estimated that not many people will read it. It would be okay if the main line is to kill Ghost Mai Tsuji, but this type of light novel has been published in Yaedo a few years ago. No fewer than a few hundred copies.
Keeping up with current events, this is Inazuma's light novel. Recently, due to the fact that Yu Suzumiya and Ayaka Kamisato are going to get married, many light novels similar to "Reincarnation to Tevat, Things That Princess Egret Falls in Love with Me" turned out The birth even caused quite a stir in the entire Daozuma territory.
In the end, this incident even alarmed Sha Fengxing. They banned all books with similar themes on the grounds that they wrote people as prototypes in light novels without permission, and Yaedo couldn't do anything about it, because they really It's an infringement.
It's fine if others don't say anything, but this person came directly to your door, so you still have reason to argue with him?
"Although it's good, but I haven't written a light novel, and I'm at a disadvantage in terms of writing skills, and I can't write any good content." Suzumiya Yu said, writing novels, writing skills are also very important.
It's like boiling dumplings in a teapot, and you can't pour them out when there are goods. You obviously have a very rich story in your heart, but you just can't write it anyway. This is the so-called lack of writing power.
As a newcomer to writing novels, it often happens that the pen is not strong enough, and even some old writers who have written several books will face similar situations.
Suzumiya Yu's life experience is indeed rich, but if he is asked to write the text, the content of the novel written may be the same as the composition, or it will be a running account. Anyway, apart from the story itself, the content will not be attractive.
"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. As the editor-in-chief of Yaedo, I naturally know how bad your writing skills are as a newcomer." Yaeko smiled. Although she was telling the truth, it still made people feel a little Huo Da said, "So, I didn't intend for you to write the main text at all, as long as the outline is displayed."
An outline is a framework of a novel, which can be divided into many types, the most common of which is to compress the overall plot into hundreds to thousands of words, and then expand and fill in the basics again, and then list a more detailed outline , that is, the detailed outline.
Writing the outline is not troublesome, but writing the detailed outline is a very brain-intensive task. Fortunately, Yae Miko did not ask Suzumiya Yu to write the detailed outline, otherwise he would probably refuse on the spot.
"Then, let's take you to meet those three partners."
After saying goodbye to Wubaizang, Yae Kamiko led Suzumiya Yuu to Inazuma Castle, and gathered with three other people in a restaurant called Wuyouting.
Wuyouting is a very famous restaurant in Inazuma. Suzumiya You heard about it when he came to Inazuma for the first time, but this was the first time he came because he spent most of his time in Inazuma Usoyashiki, although I come to Inazuma Castle many times, I don't stay for too long.
Therefore, he has never been to a well-known place like Wuyouting that takes time to find. Moreover, this place is not in the game, which is one of the main reasons why he has not been to it.
After all, he has basically been to the places he has appeared in the game in reality.
"Let me introduce, these two are Yaedo's editor Amao and his partner writer Shunji. Although he is in a bottleneck period recently, his previous works are very famous among young people, and he has his own unique way. "
"Satomi is the trump card of our Yaedo. Her specialty is to use multiple pen names and create stories with different styles. As for her real pen name...that is a commercial secret."
Yae Miko introduced his three partners to Suzumiya Yuu.
He himself didn't feel too much about it. After all, he only needed to provide the outline and didn't need to worry about the text. He was the most relaxed among the four.
However, what was different from him was that when the three people who cooperated saw him, they were extremely emotional, because Suzumiya Yuu's reputation in Inazuma can be said to be second only to Raiden General Yae Gongji. The existence of a body comparable to a god, the prestige is not low.
On weekdays, Suzumiya You-sama seldom shows his face in public, but now that he actually appeared in front of him like this, I am afraid that no one can keep calm, at least the three of them, Ah Mao.
After all, since a few years ago, Inazuma began to circulate light novels based on Yusuke Suzumiya. Some of them were even popular all over the country. Even Yusuke Suzumiya praised him because he is also a light novel Fiction fans, the past is the present, and so is the present.
"I'm very glad to meet you, Suzumiya You-sama, we will definitely work hard to create the best light novels, and we will never let you down!" Amao said passionately, the same is true for Shunji and Satomi, only Suzumiya Worry himself, looking extremely lazy.
"Then, let's start thinking about the content of the first volume now. You only need to give a rough beginning, such as where the protagonist was born, what he was doing, and what he met. Remember, the story itself It has to be fun."
Yae Kamiko gave Suzumiya Yu an order to think about the content of the first volume of the novel. This was not a difficult task, but if the story itself must be interesting, it is not that simple.
Suzumiya You stood there and thought for a long time. He was also a person who had read books for many years. Before time travel, he considered himself an old bookworm, but he wrote novels by himself but couldn't write at all.
"One day, everyone in Tivat awakened an unknown force. This force is not elemental force, but a more powerful force that surpasses elemental force. As long as you continue to practice, you can become infinitely stronger. "
"However, the protagonist himself has not awakened this unknown power. Not only has he not awakened this power, he has not even the original elemental power of the world."
Yusuke Suzumiya made a small modification of the reiki recovery novels he had read before as the outline of the new book.
"Well, this world has the God's Eye, a peripheral device that can drive elemental power, but only a small number of people have the God's Eye, so people are eager to reach the God's Eye, because it is the proof of being recognized by the gods."
"If everyone awakens a power similar to elemental power, it will definitely make readers' eyes shine, but the protagonist himself has not awakened this power, which is equivalent to causing a contradiction. We can explain why he did not awaken this power based on the plot. strength."
"So, what explanation are you going to use to explain why the protagonist didn't awaken that power?" Yae Kamito asked, since the protagonist didn't awaken the power, there must be a reason, right? And it's not that he's really not awakened, it's just that he's not as conspicuous as ordinary people.
Only a special existence can make readers have a sense of substitution. If the protagonist and supporting role in the novel are exactly the same, how can we highlight his specialness?
In this regard, Suzumiya Yu had long thought of a solution.
"The protagonist actually awakened that unknown power, but his ability is very special. Others become stronger through cultivation, but he becomes stronger by plundering other people's power."
Not only is the way of awakening power different, but even the way of cultivating and becoming stronger is different from other people. Suzumiya Yuu's words fully demonstrated the specialness of the protagonist.
