"Editor-in-chief Akiyama, the sales statistics of the second volume of the second volume of the "fate/zero" novel have come out, it's really an exaggerated number, it may be the best light novel in our library in the past few years, no, maybe it's the best one in ten years, after all, with the creative speed of that Kamiya overseer, it is possible to break the annual sales record of novels in the light novel industry if it maintains one volume of updates a month!" In the light novel department of Chiyo Shoten, the staff came to the editor's office with a happy face and handed over the statistical report of the first week of "fate/zero" to the editor-in-chief, Gotsune Akiyama. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Akiyama Gojing, who was sitting in the office, raised his frameless eyes in his right hand, took the data statistics file handed over by the staff and glanced at it a few times, and then said with a deep smile: "It's indeed beyond the scope of general data, we have done our best to operate here, and the Kamiya superintendent will be quite satisfied with this result." ”

"Yes, and the inventory of the first volume of the novel is almost sold out, and there is a shortage of supply in the popular physical bookstore, do you need to continue to print it?"

"Of course, the "Fate/Zero" anime has only aired the seventh episode, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the length of twenty-four episodes, and twice the number originally scheduled to be printed. The first week of sales of the second volume seems to be depleted in less than a week, and the second volume has also begun to be reprinted. I'll report to the upper echelons of the company later, and you can just notify the printing department. ”

"I see, then I'll go and inform the printing department now." The staff nodded and exited the editorial office.

After the staff left, Akiyama Gojing looked at the detailed sales data of "Fate/Zero", this time he did not look at "Fate/Zero" as an editor, but as a former light novelist, and when the second volume was just handed over to him, he first looked at it, and was amazed by Yu Kamiya's idea of creating a novel, although the story of the novel was just beginning, he thought that "Fate/Zero" should be more classified as a traditional fantasy novel.

"Holy Grail War?" Akiyama Gojing looked at the statistical file and whispered to himself, thought about it and smiled: "I didn't expect such a story to be popular with light novel readers, whether it was the influence of the anime or the popularity of the Kamiya supervisor himself, or whether this novel is really excellent as a light novel, it's really confusing..."

With that, he opened his drawer and took out a yellowed novel that had been read many times from the upturned corners.

"The World of the End".

It was the last light novel he wrote as a light novelist, but it ended in a hurry after only halfway to the half-young novel he had expected, which had been his dream. It's just that at that time, the novels he used to practice writing and creating at random were very popular, and this was the light novel he really wanted to write, and he poured countless efforts into it, but his grades deteriorated, which greatly hit his creative enthusiasm and confidence at that time, so he turned to an editor and wanted to thoroughly study the reasons for the failure of his novels.

After so many years, he has found the answer, but he no longer wants to continue to write his dream.

"If Fate/Zero comes out at that time, it will give me a little bit of confidence to continue." Akiyama shook his head silently.

In fact, the sales of the original novel of "Fate/Zero" are not very good, and it may only be a tenth of the sales of Yu Kamiya's remastered novel, because "Fate/Zero" is a fanfiction, and it is not even as good as the average commercial light novel in terms of publicity and various operational efforts. Yu Kamiya's remastered version of "fate/zero" has a heavily publicized Gaiden novel as a foreshadowing, and it has the instant blessing of the popularity of the anime broadcast, and it comes with the operation template of a top-notch commercial light novel.

"These are all the background settings of [Moon World], most of them are actually useless, maybe just a background that the story can't reach, these settings are so perfect mainly to let Miss Fog Mirror know the specific background of the story she created. The background settings are all open-ended, and in addition to the main world view setting, Miss Fog Mirror can be adopted or modified at will. Yu Kamiya used his laptop to open the USB flash drive that copied the setting of [Moon World], and after the relevant file information was fully displayed, he pushed the laptop in front of the misty mirror Ruri, who was sitting opposite the desk.

The fog mirror that looked like a quiet girl took the laptop and nodded slightly, seeing the setting information displayed on the screen, her eyes moved slightly, and she controlled the mouse to quickly view all the files and directly opened a new document on the writing software to type out what she wanted to say, she gently moved the laptop screen to Kamiya Yu: "Settings? 200,000 words? All? ”

The setting of 200,000 words, this length can be taken out separately as a novel, but this is just a collection of novels?

The slightly surprised look of the three-free girl satisfied the vanity in Kamiya Yu's heart, and she was also proud of the 200,000-word background setting, and her face remained silent and said: "Yes, in order to let Miss Wujing fully understand the positioning of the work she needs to create." ”

Fog Mirror Ruri turned the laptop screen and began to carefully check the background settings about the [Moon World], these settings are not superfluous at all, they are all described by Kamiya Yu with the simplest data and words, that is to say, the number of 200,000 words is a real description of a fantasy world, and the amount of content is not amazing.

After a cursory review, the fog mirror glass turned her head and nodded to a capable young woman with a ponytail behind her, she is the assistant of the fog mirror glass, and the business cooperation of the fog mirror glass generally needs to be reviewed by her, the young woman stepped forward and explained: "The teacher thinks that this cooperation can be carried out, may I ask if you are ready to sign the contract over there?" We need to define the specific conditions of this cooperation. ”

"Of course." Kamiya Yu, who was standing next to him, smiled slightly, Poison Island Purple's face was as calm as water, and he understood that he would take the contract that had been prepared on the table not far away and hand it to the fog mirror glass.

"Thank you." Misty Mirror Ruri typed on his laptop, then checked the treaty issues stipulated in the contract, and was quite satisfied with the 10,000-word million-yen remuneration offer given by Yu Kamiya, so he continued to hand it over to the female assistant next to him to review and make sure that there was nothing abnormal in the contract.

Fog Mirror Liuli typed: "Yes." ”

In the more than an hour that the female assistant of the fog mirror Ruri confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the contract, the fog mirror Ruri was seriously discussing the background settings given by Kamiya Yu, and from time to time she would use the laptop's writing software to ask serious questions. For example, "How does such and such a person react to such and such an event", "What is the daily life of such and such a person", "How should the so-called root consciousness be understood?" "Wait.
