Chapter 12 By the way, the pen name is "Yu Murakami". (1/2)
Yu Fumimura read the plan of "The Demon King and the Angel" from beginning to end, and was surprised to find that there was not much to guide and revise.
The only thing that is not quite appropriate is the character design of the protagonist Demon King Yu Asakawa.
"Do whatever you want, in other words, you don't have the motivation to do anything, and it's a bit detrimental to the advancement of the plot to use such a negative character as the protagonist......"
He opened the pen that Narumi Yu had clipped to the paper in advance, and wrote and scratched on the page of the protagonist's character.
"The positive character design is more conducive to the development of the plot, and the protagonist is, after all, 'the demon king who wants to recover his lost power and return to the magic world', how can he suddenly lose his motivation after arriving in the real world?"
"This place is in conflict."
"Indeed......" Narumi thought for a moment and agreed.
The character of the demon king was created based on himself.
If you carefully consider the story of the demon king and the angel itself, the negative character is indeed not suitable for the character of the "demon king".
"That's 'Anything else is good except for what you want to pursue.'" May I? He proposed.
“……”
Fumimura Yu fell into deep thought, the tip of his pen tapping repeatedly on the paper.
Finally exhaled a long breath,
"It's possible, but it's a bit too negative...... If you want to embody the decisive highlights of 'gentleness' and 'desperate to save others', this kind of character will not be able to do it......"
"When I was creating, the first thing I considered was the identity of the protagonist Yumo Asakawa Mowang, and although the characters of 'gentleness' and 'kindness' are common and useful in other light novel male protagonists, they are not quite in line with the identity of the demon king."
"The contrast between the Demon King and ordinary people in reality is also one of the highlights of "The Demon King and the Angel".
Rather than a business plan, Yu Narumi would like Woo Fumimura to take a look at the original manuscript of the first volume.
Discussing only the character setting relies more on the creative experience of the editor and the author himself, and sometimes detached from the light novel itself.
"You're right, the highlight of 'the contrast between otherworldly beings and the real world' is very crucial to whether "The Demon King and the Angel" can continue to be serialized, and even whether it can become a best-selling light novel." Wen Mura Yu nodded in agreement, "The character of the Demon King really needs to be carefully considered. ”
"Fumimura-kun, you can take a look at the original manuscript of the first volume first." Narumi Yu opened his mouth to remind.
"Original?" Fumimura Yu suddenly broke away from his state of thinking, "Ah! Forgot! Sorry, Narumi-san......"
Although there is a good business plan to foreshadow, when mentioning the "original draft", Fumimura Yu still frowned obviously.
Manuscripts have always been a hassle when a newcomer submits.
Perhaps this middle-aged male editor has encountered several whole volumes of manuscripts that need to be revised in their entirety, leaving behind bad memories.
He handed the project in his hand to Narumi Yu, and then took the original manuscript of the first volume from Chika Ichijo.
"There are some annotations I made on it, and I hope it can help Narumi-san."
The light novel she was looking at in her hand was suddenly withdrawn, and Miss Yi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that she was lazy and was arrested again, "I'm sorry! I accidentally picked it up and looked at it. ”
"It's fine." With a gentle smile on his face, Narumi waved his hand at Ichijo Chika.
"Huh?! Was it written by Narumi-san? Not bad! If you are not careful, you will be fascinated. The somewhat sluggish young lady suddenly became energetic again, and she had the posture of pulling Narumi to talk about the plot of the novel.
It's hard to imagine why Haruhoba Society lets such a lively girl-like woman be the front desk waiter.
“……”
After reading the first few pages, the frowning brows on the side gradually relaxed.
After another five minutes, Narumi Yu has been pulled by a Chika to add Line, and the electronic file of the original manuscript of "The Demon King and the Angel" was sent on Line.
"Narumi-san," Fumimura Yu raised his head and looked at Narumi Yu with a much more cautious look, "Can you tell me your pen name and the titles of your previously released works?" ”
