020. Light Novel Library
Jiang Yu got up, wiped off the water droplets all over his body, put on his pajamas and walked out of the bathroom. When I came to the refrigerator in the living room, I took out a carton of fresh milk and took a big sip.
Then he walked into his bedroom with a bottle of barley tea, ready to start continuing the code word work he had just interrupted.
Now that the choice of the game has been decided, the prototype of a business plan has basically emerged in Jiang Yu's heart.
Who said that when he first went to college in his previous life, Jiang Yu introduced himself with the sentence "good writing", which brought so much useful and useless writing work to the next four years, and learned a lot of writing methods for planning cases that can or may not be used in the future.
Therefore, Jiang Yu probably has points in his heart about how to write a game plan.
After abandoning the distractions, Jiang Yu began to code words seriously, and suddenly all that remained in the room was the sound of fingers tapping lightly on the keyboard.
Not long after, after finishing the sixth chapter of the original work of "Spring Things" and opening the seventh chapter, Jiang Yu stopped his finger movements, picked up the barley tea on the table and took a big sip, and let out a long breath.
"Anyway, it's so tiring to play the piano?" Jiang Yu leaned back in his chair, stared up at the ceiling, and muttered to himself.
The workload of playing the piano for three hours was indeed beyond Jiang Yu's own expectations, not to mention that he stared at the computer screen and wrote light novels for more than two hours later, causing him to feel that his finger joints were almost unbendable.
After taking a short rest, he glanced at the time that was almost early in the morning, Jiang Yu didn't plan to continue writing, and after turning off the computer, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to check the publishing channel of the light novel.
Different from online articles, most of the light novels are submitted by the authors themselves to various competitions and obtain a certain ranking, and the publisher takes the initiative to contact the author for publication.
Or the author submits his own manuscript to each light novel library, and after passing the editorial review of the library, he will publish it.
Recently, however, it has become popular to gain a certain amount of popularity on the Internet before submitting and publishing it.
It's just that this method is not suitable for Jiang Yu, who needs to be published as soon as possible.
After Jiang Yu searched Google, he found that the light novel library of the island country here is still flourishing, but there are only a handful at the top, and they are also familiar names in the previous life.
Dengeki Bunko, Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko, and Fujimi Fantasia Bunko are the three largest light novel libraries in the island country, and they are also called "light novel Gosan" by good deeds.
Others, such as Shogakukan, Kodansha, and Immortal River, are also widely known in the island country, but if you compare them with the three mentioned above, there is still a certain gap in terms of public awareness, the number of works sold, and overseas publishing channels.
The size of the three libraries is not too much, and the main difference is in the type of published works.
Among them, the types of works of the electric shock library are all-encompassing, and various themes have appeared, but the mainstream is still the direction of the young king. At the same time, it also has the largest number of submissions in the existing library, so it is also known as the most rare library.
It is worth mentioning that Dengeki Bunko started out as a main publication of ACG adapted novels, but now it has become the light novel library with the highest frequency of adaptation into ACG. Animating and adapting the game quite aggressively is a big feature.
Works such as "Shana's Burning Eyes", "Catalogue of Forbidden Books of Magic", and "Inferior Students of Magic Universities" are all published by Dengeki Bunko.
The publication direction of the Kadokawa Sneaker Library is similar to that of the Dengeki Library.,It's also a work that focuses on teenagers.。 Compared with the Dengeki Library, the characteristics of the Kadokawa Sneaker Library are more prominent, and the number of works published by Shonen Xiang is significantly higher than that of the other two libraries.
For example, the Gundam series, the Suzumiya Haruhi series, and the "New Sister Demon King's Contractor" are all from the Kadokawa Sneaker Library.
The last Fujimi Fantasia library focuses on novels set in a fantasy world, and Jiang Yu's impression of this library is weaker than the other two libraries, probably because there are fewer anime works?
But even so, Jiang Yu still knows that "Dating Wars" and "Gancheng Glorious Amusement Park" are his published works.
Jiang Yu looked at the introductions of several light novel libraries and frowned, "Spring Things" is a juvenile-oriented light novel, if it is to be published on the largest platforms, there is no doubt that the two choices of Dengeki Library and Kadokawa Sneaker Library are better.
And even if it is a newcomer award participating in these two libraries, Jiang Yu also believes that "Spring Things" can stand out from it, not to mention the first, the top few can be said to be undoubted, after all, the quality of itself is there.
Although the "remnant comedy" advertised in "Spring Things" is not unprecedented, it is still novel in the current large number of harem-oriented, waste-oriented and cute-oriented works with serious templated and routine ideas.
And the character of Hachiman is a standout among the herbivorous protagonists and dragon aotian protagonists in this piece, and his self-explosive speeches and philosophical words can make him countless fans.
(What's more, there is also a color plus a little angel ~ crossed out in parentheses).
Jiang Yu was also attracted by the golden sentences of the protagonist nicknamed "Big Teacher" before, so he carefully watched the anime and original book of "My Youth Love Story is Really Problematic".
What's more, in the later stage of "Spring Things", it gradually drifted away from the original goal of "residual thought comedy", and became a stomach medicine that made countless people want to stop.
The pain is unbearable, and you can't stop yourself from reading anymore.
Here, please let the author sincerely wish the great teacher "the avalanche group is wiped out".
It seems to have something strange mixed in with it, but that's okay. Let's move on......
In the current light novel industry and even in the ACG circle, there are too many clichéd works with similar settings, similar plots, and even similar character designs. After reading a beginning of many light novels, you can basically guess the next plot development.
And many works with excellent ideas, because the plot is not interesting enough, cannot attract a sufficient number of readers, resulting in being cut in half during the serialization period.
Jiang Yu has also heard An Yilun complain to him more than once about the serious problem of the routine of light novels recently, resulting in An Yilun, who is a well-known blogger TAKI, not knowing how to write a book review of these works.
That's why last year, An Yilun also suddenly came into contact with Teacher Xia Shizi's "love metronome" and had that ecstatic performance.
Not only did I read all night at home, but I also kept aming the housemates around me. In order to avoid the fate of "Love Metronome", a newcomer's new work, being cut in half, An Yilun also strongly recommended it on his blog.
Jiang Yu was also amazed by An Yilun no less than five times, so he became curious, so he went to buy it and read it, and as a result, he also became a loyal fan of Teacher Xia Shizi.
In this way, it seems that when it was the second or third volume of "Love Metronome", Jiang Yu remembered that he seemed to go to a signing party with An Yilun to Teacher Xia Shizi?
Hawkers, the impression is very indifferent, Jiang Yu thought about it hard, and finally it didn't work.
All in all, whether it is the predecessor or the current Jiang Yu, it cannot be denied that "Love Metronome" is a very good work. Especially in the description of the emotional aspects of the entanglement between the male protagonist and the two heroines.
But what makes Jiang Yu cry and laugh is that recently, these two libraries that focus on juvenile light novels have just held a newcomer award together, and it was less than a month since the spring break.
And if there are no novels published in the Newcomer Awards, even if the editor is very optimistic, and even the editor-in-chief is very optimistic, they will not get too many resources to promote it.
Because most of the recent light novel readers will prefer works with higher rankings on the Newcomer Awards to buy and watch. These works have been tested and must have their own brilliance.
Although Jiang Yu didn't say that he wanted his debut to be an instant hit, he didn't want to cause his very good works to be dusted because of the platform.
What's more, since he was buried in the earth, his recent financial situation has been a little stretched. Although his daily part-time job can give him an extra 6,000 yen, he can't rely on a part-time job to support himself and his sister, right?
Let's not talk about the problem of whether it is enough to support two people, and also rule out the problem of reducing the time that Jiang Yu can use freely due to his part-time job.
In terms of fun alone, for Jiang Yu, making games and writing novels is much more fun than playing the piano. Even if he is the ultimate dream of relying on several works to eat and wait for death in the future, Jiang Yu has to (clench his fists) to come up with good works (mouth beard) as soon as possible......
