If it's reviewing other newcomers' manuscripts, Machida Enko will read them quickly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, most newcomers' works don't have too much appeal, especially editors like Machida Yuanko, who have read thousands of light novels, and it's even more difficult to attract her.

But because it's Xia You's new work, Machida Yuanzi took a closer look at it and didn't slow down the reading speed.

Turning the cover page, the next page is a brief introduction to Sword Art Online, only a short line of words-

"It's a game, but it's not a joke!"

Not a joke game?

What kind of game can be regarded as not playing?

I tried to think about it, but I didn't come up with any conclusions, so Machida Enko looked at it directly.

And this look is to quickly immerse herself, and by the time she finishes reading, a full forty minutes have passed.

At this time, Machida Enko finally understood why the profile said this-

In the story, this virtual reality game called Sword Art Online has been turned into a real death game due to the conspiracy of the creator Akihiko Kayaba, and it cannot be withdrawn or resurrected.

Once the player dies in the game, the real body will also die!

Such a game is naturally not a joke!

This setting makes Machida Enko feel refreshed.

In the past, online game light novels either wrote campus romantic comedies in the name of games, or created a very conventional game world in which the protagonist went on adventures.

This kind of work is similar to ordinary fantasy novels, but with more game settings.

There must also be a lot of descriptions of real life after the game goes offline, which often seems a little dragged.

However, this Sword Art Online directly created the setting of the death game, thus limiting the protagonist and others to the scope of the game, omitting the real-life plot, and showing more characteristics of the game world.

It's really exciting!

It's different from RE0's, but each has its own characteristics!

It's just that Machida Yuanzi didn't expect that this very interesting death game story would end in one volume.

thought that according to her thoughts, this novel should be based on this death game as a framework, and then unfold a series of stories.

And the characters in the story are also very interesting, if you want to expand the plot, you can write seven or eight volumes.

However, Xia You didn't do this, but omitted all the middle plots.

In addition to the prologue plot at the beginning,,Jumped to two years later.,I didn't see the plot of Kirito challenging the bosses of each floor in this process.,Make Machida Yuanzi unspeakable regret.。

Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but look at Xia You and asked, "Teacher, have you thought about the follow-up plot of Sword Art Online?"

In this volume, Kirito, with the sacrifice of Asuna, finally defeated the boss Akihiko Kayaba and cleared this death game.

When he woke up and found himself lying in the hospital, he got up and went to find Asuna.

And the story came to an abrupt end, leaving endless suspense.

Xia You smiled and nodded, and then gave a general explanation of the plot of the follow-up fairy dance.

Of course, he didn't say much, just clicked and stopped.

If you spoil too many plots in one go, it may make Machida Yuanzi suspicious, after all, Xia You said before that this is a work that he came up with temporarily, how can it be possible that so many plots have been conceived.

Machida Yuanzi didn't know what Xia Yu was thinking, and after listening to the follow-up plot he said, all he thought was - I really want to watch the second volume!

Shaking her head and suppressing her thoughts, Machida Enko looked at Xia You, and then made a decision, deciding to sign this novel first.

As for when it will be published, you need to discuss it with the editor-in-chief.

After all, this year's Sneaker Newcomer Award is coming to an end, and the RE0 pre-sale is imminent, and at this time, a new book by Qingkong Xia will be launched, who knows what kind of reaction it will cause.

Some readers may be happy to see other books by Natsu Aoku.

And some may be upset.

After all, if you publish another book before you start selling, it will give people a very unserious feeling.

In this way, not only will Sword Art Online not sell well, but it will also lower the sales of RE0, which will outweigh the losses.

Machida Enko told Xia Yu about it, and Xia Yu also expressed his understanding.

Then just when she wanted to say something, she received a phone call, and she couldn't help but pause, and looked at Xia You a little apologetically, indicating that she wanted to answer the phone.

Xia You smiled and nodded, signaling her to be casual.

Immediately, Machida Yuanzi took out her mobile phone, and the screen showed a message from Kasumi Shiko, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She hadn't contacted Kasumi for more than a week.

Since she had not been notified of her retreat in advance, she had not been able to contact Kasumiko, and Machida Enko was still worried, so she managed to contact Kasumiko's homeroom teacher, only to learn that she had taken two weeks off.

With a flow of thoughts, Machida Aenko picked up the phone.

"Moses Moses. ”

"Yes...... Machida editor?"

The voice on the phone exudes a rather weak feeling.

Machida Yuanzi couldn't help frowning slightly, "Xiaoshi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay...... I was just...... It's so sleepy, just sleep, just sleep....."

Xia Shizi's voice was a little confused, "The manuscript of the new book...... I've sent it to your mailbox, I'm asleep. ”

As soon as the voice fell, the call was interrupted, and looking at the phone, Machida Enko had a crying and laughing expression.

Xia You couldn't help asking, "Did something happen?"

Machida Yuanzi shook her head with a wry smile, "It's okay, it's just that Teacher Xia Shizi sent me the manuscript of the new book, and she has probably been working hard to catch up with the manuscript this week, and now she is so tired that she falls asleep." ”

"Then Kasumi-sensei should be fine, right?"

"Well, it's okay, she should be fine when she gets some sleep. ”

"Really? That's good. ”

Xia You smiled, and then paused, "What type of new book is Teacher Xia Shizi?"

"I don't know, because she didn't have a clue before, and this time she suddenly closed the retreat, and I haven't read the manuscript she sent. ”

"That's right. ”

Although Xia Yu really wanted to read Kasumiko's new book, after thinking about it, he still dismissed the idea of asking Machida Yuanzi for the original manuscript.

After all, it is indeed a bit rude to look at her manuscript directly without the permission of Xia Shizi herself.

"Let's not mention that yet. Just like last time, Natsu-sensei Aoku, please sign this contract. ”

As she spoke, Machida Enko took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Natsuyu.

Xia You took it and glanced at it slightly, but found that the royalty was as high as 15%, and he couldn't help but be stunned, "Machida editor, what is this?"

He still remembers that Machida Enko said that the maximum royalty for newcomers is 11%.

Machida Enko smiled, "Ah, that, because you've already released the RE0 work, Sensei, although it hasn't started pre-sale yet, but the results must be very good, so the royalties have been raised to the level of the backbone writers of Kadokawa Bunko.。 ”

She paused and added, "Of course, as your work sells well, the royalties will be even higher in the future." ”

"Oh. I know. ”

Xia You nodded, quickly signed it, and handed the contract back to Machida Yuanzi.

Machida Enko took the hand, and after confirming that it was correct, she smiled and nodded.

"Well, that's it. After I take the original manuscript of Sword Art Online to the editor-in-chief for review, ask for their opinions, and if there is any new news, I will inform the teacher again. ”

"Okay. ”

Immediately, Xia You didn't stay long, and went home directly, after all, he had to go to work at night.

In addition, in order to come here in the afternoon, Xia You used the excuse of going out to play with Lunya, prevaricated Ayase, and asked her to go home directly after school.

Now, I guess that kid is a little unhappy again, right?

...

Then, time passed, and it was Thursday.

At this time, RE0 has occupied the top of the newcomer award list with an absolute advantage.

As the time approached 12 o'clock at noon, RE0 finally lived up to expectations and won the grand prize of this year's Sneaker Newcomer Award!

The update is late, and there will be a third update later
