Chapter 572: Exiting Unscathed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Zhao Youyue reached her hotown, she went straight to the bookstore and bought “Girlish Numbers” and “Everyone In The World Is In A Deep Sleep Other Than Myself.” Looking at how both novels were displayed on the shelf, “Girlish Numbers” was clearly selling worse.
Zhao Youyue spent a few days to finish both books. “Girlish Numbers” had more potential of becoming an iconic novel. Du Hang’s storyline knew just how to showcase the adorable side of his female protagonist. This novel had the potential of producing a hilarious ani with its artwork alone as the female protagonist expresses her thoughts in her heart. It would be easy to make a series of facial expression emojis based on her face!
Iconic novels did not always necessarily need emoji packages. But when emojis were needed, people would only use emojis from widely-known, recognized ani. When their friends catch sight of these emojis, they would start looking up the origin of such an adorable female protagonist. Who knows, the novel might even gain a new reader or two?
Then... There would be no more “then.” It was a story of a girl in the voice acting industry. It was a hateful, hostile world. The irony, cynical sarcasm would be a little too heavy-handed for so. Readers preferred sothing funny and delightful, even if it was fabricated.
Undeniably, Du Hang had a remarkable talent for writing. If only he could stem his ego and write what the market actually wanted...
Zhao Youyue could not place her finger on how the other novel with that lengthy title actually beca as popular as it was. The only rational explanation would be, miracles – truckloads of it.
Generally, readers of light novels preferred the slow progression of a youth love story. One step at a ti. Protagonists did not ticulously plan strategies; there was no need to rush it.
On the contrary, it would not be a light novel if the protagonist achieved his goals a little too soon. It would be more similar to a hentai in the form of paragraphs and essays. If it was a hentai, why take the fuss to portray how the world looked like?
This novel was not particularly hentai’ish. After all, it was a novel ant for all ages, not just adults.
This light novel actually created shockwaves the mont it debuted on the market. However, it quickly lost montum when readers grew bored of its monotony and repetition.
The author “Love The Taste Of Rice In Her House” never attempted to add anything fresh to the scene. He rely introduced new girls to the scene for the protagonist to wake.
This novel did not deserve any of Zhao Youyue’s efforts. She had to leave this world without hurting herself. Destroying this novel would not be an option.
Despite its deteriorating standard, it still had so readers. Destroying this novel would more than likely result in a backfire.
She would have to get into a lengthy discussion with the author to initiate a passer-by’s cao. Since she only wanted a small-fry character, it was not asking for much.
Thankfully, Du Hang had given her rather easy access to this otherwise troubleso author.
With her reputation, looking for any author in the world would not be too far-fetched. But it would still be sowhat awkward to show up at the doorstep of an author and ask for a cao character.
A Cao must look like it belonged to the storyline. It should be temporary – like a sneeze that would only bother readers montarily and get forgotten not long after. A sudden cao should not throw readers off the trail and get them to investigate on the cao, instead.
It was the weekend. Zhao Youyue would be eting Ke Zhang – together with Su Li, Han Leng, and Du Hang. It was a eting of authors; much would be discussed.
Zhao Youyue was most definitely a creator herself. She had composed several soundtracks for a few anis and gas. Her work was rather famous among the learned audience and authors.
Professional musicians acknowledged Ah Yu’s talent. Her music was just as powerful as Hiroyuki Sawano.[1] It drew viewers into the thick of the scene itself; it sucked their souls into entirely new worlds. Fans of Hiroyuki Sawano loved to watch the process of composing music itself. Watching him write music was as fortunate as listening to his music!
Therefore, Lady Zhao definitely belonged to the sa vein as those authors. Of course, it was all thanks to Chu Luoxun. Through Zhao Youyue’s healthy body, her music talent manifested itself in reality and started transforming the world.
Ke Zheng was not born in Jiangnan Province. He stayed a moderate distance from it – almost an hour away by train. Zhao Youyue had planned a two day trip over the weekend for this phenonal group.
Zhao Youyue and Su Li have done this together countless tis. Du Hang had good reason to join in. He loved the idea of strengthening his network connection. Sharing ideas and thoughts over a al was efficient and productive.
Han Leng was the only one who did not enjoy himself. He did not like to socialize, especially at the “taking the initiative to know soone” part. However, he would never coldly reject anyone who approached him for small talk.
He had tagged along because of Du Hang. Also, Lady Zhao had given him a direct order... Fortunately for him, Du Hang was a good companion. Both of them were like twins, sharing the sa page on almost every topic.
On the other hand, Du Hang was a little too embarrassed to speak to Su Li. It had always been a dream for small-fry authors to et Su Li, the goddess of illustrations. She was basically an angel who drew angels herself. Having her draw anything for you would be a blessing!
These light novel authors never ran out of thods of drawing Su Li’s attention. Su Li’s nickna, “The Illustrator of Death” ant little to them. If things went south, she would be there to bear the pan.
At one point, Du Hang had sheepishly asked Su Li for a signature. Han Leng disapproved of Du Hang’s unmasked affection. To him, she was a cheap, unprincipled woman. She would do anything for money. Nevertheless, her artwork was comndable. They were top of the line. He had been fortunate enough to have Su Li draw for his “Beautiful April.”
