I Am a Master of Light Novels in Japan

"The first 60,000 copies, ranked first in the sales volume of Sanhe Library, the competition between me and Xia Shizi, so I won."

Li Yan looked at the stunned Ying Lili and said.

...

"The books we wrote sold 60,000 copies in the first week. Now the light novel sections of major bookstores are hoarding the fourth volume of light novels we created. Basically, most of the stores are in the anxious period of being out of stock, Kagura Editor Saka told me that I heard that on the first day, my book fans suddenly called out to line up to buy books. As a result, on the first day of sales... more than 30,000 copies were sold. Animation production companies and game companies have already gone Sanhe Bunko, I hope to reach a cooperation with me on the animeization of the fourth volume and the opening of the new map of the game as soon as possible... Basically, the sales are very good... I guess."

There were stars shining around Li Yan, and he said happily.

"..."

"Sixty to sixty thousand!!!"

Ying Lili suddenly shouted in surprise.

The weekly sales volume of 60,000 copies has almost broken the record of Sanhe Bunko, and even far surpassed the 55,000 sales volume of Senshou Village Zheng. Li Yan has really become a veritable Uesugi old thief .

"... Is the news true?" Ying Lili asked excitedly.

"Yes, the sales volume is only the sales volume that ended yesterday. If we calculate it today, maybe our book sales volume is not limited to these, and it is estimated that it will exceed 70,000." Li Yan said calmly.

Ying Lili was so happy that she rushed over and put her arms around Li Yan's neck. With tears in her eyes, she laughed loudly and said, "Finally, finally, the hard work has paid off. Li Yan, you worked so hard, we worked so hard, finally... finally Dream come true!"

"It's been hard work for you these days, Yinglili."

Li Yan was caught off guard by being hugged, but felt that Ying Lili was gratified by everyone's hard work these days, he gradually became happy, looked at Ying Lili's blond hair, and whispered: "After you finish your manga, I'll take you and another hero out to have a meal outside, and please, please, continue to work hard in the cause we like."

Celebrating with your partner in your arms, let's just say... it's an expression of sincerity.

However, Ying Lili also realized that even with the astonishing sales of 70,000 copies, she did not see Li Yan's complacency and complacency like a master, but a look that she couldn't understand and couldn't let go of. Let go of Li Yan, blushed back a little, and asked curiously: "Wait a minute, you sold 70,000 novels a week, why do you look unhappy at all?"

Li Yan was slightly taken aback.

"Of course I'm happy, I don't know how happy I am, but after I'm happy on the phone, I can only be happy for a few minutes. After all, my journey has to go on, giving me the confidence to continue to write This novel, but after I calmed down, I cared about the sales of Xia Shizi..." Li Yan continued to think.

"...So, how much did she sell? After all, she became famous earlier than you and has always been a popular author. You have 70,000 copies, and she has at least 40,000 copies." Ying Lili asked curiously road.

"...As of yesterday, "Love Metronome" has only sold eleven thousand copies."

Li Yan said.

Suddenly, Ying Lili seemed to feel that she had heard wrong.

After all, the fifth volume of "Love Metronome" should be the volume with the most exciting part of the plot in all the series of Kasumigaoka Shiwa.

"So we won, and directly surpassed the opponent's sales by almost six times, and completely defeated Xia Shizi." Li Yan said.

...

On the phone call from Kagurazaka Iris, when Li Yan heard about the sales of Xia Shizi, he was stunned. He also didn't believe that Xia Shizi's sales would be so bad.

Li Yan, who had exhausted all his resources to defeat Xia Shizi, wanted to win even in his dreams, but he never hoped that his opponent would lose like this.

Like a martial idiot, he is eager to fight and win, but he never desires to let the opponent really lose in the duel, not on himself.

"Are you kidding me?" At that time, Li Yan frowned and blurted out.

Ten thousand copies... almost one-third of the fourth volume of "Love Metronome".

"Xia Shizi, what are you doing..." Li Yan was thinking about this matter.

That indifferent girl who used to be in the hotel and made him feel pressured, just like that, she fell into decline.

Before Ying Lili left, she said that it might be because the school was about to start, and the young girls did not have time to travel or other market judgments, but Li Yan felt that Xia Shizi had made some mistakes.

Suddenly, there was a flash of thunder in the sky, and gradually, it began to rain.

Drizzling, people feel a little lonely.

Li Yan looked at the sky.

[Ding dong. 】

The phone's line sent out a notification tone, Li Yan picked up the phone and looked at it, there was a text message on the line that shocked him.

——[Xia Shizi: Fulfilling the promise of the competition, we will meet at the coffee shop at No. 15 Zuosing Street, Koto District, Tokyo at three o'clock this afternoon. 】

Chapter 23 Finding an Encounter in the Police Station

rustling...

It was raining heavily outside, and even Kagurazaka Iris, who had been busy with work, was attracted attention. She walked to the window of her office, opened the blinds, and saw the gray rain scene.

"It's raining so much." Kagurazaka Iris said to himself.

Summer is coming soon, and the weather changes as soon as it is said, just like a girl's mind, it was still sunny an hour ago, and it will be like this one hour later.

The fifth volume of Xia Shizi's "Love Metronome" has been sold. So far, it has only reached 11,653 copies. It should be said that it is the worst sales performance among first-line writers.

Kagurazaka Iris quietly thought: "Xia Shizi, can you make it through this?"

After all, based on her professional knowledge and experience, Kagurazaka Iris has already judged that the fifth volume of "Love Metronome" will repeat the same mistakes. When the first volume started writing the book as a novice, Kasumi Shiko simply put her fantasy love into the book. In the story, although the writing is amazing and the plot is interesting, it ignores the operational requirements of the market, that is, the plot is too flat and the characters lack mature cuteness. The editor has no intention of reprinting.

Then, Kagurazaka Iris, after carefully reading Xia Shizi's first book, chose to keep it, took a huge risk, and began to become Xia Shizi's responsible editor, and took the initiative to retain Xia Shizi to stay in Sanhe After the library, he is responsible for the review and release of the next series of novels.

As a result, she really lived up to her expectations. The second volume of Xia Shizi began to show a turning point, and the story became more and more exciting. Hot sale in one roll.

Therefore, she and Xia Shizi have experienced many storms together, and they can be regarded as editors and authors who trust each other.

Suddenly, Kagurazaka's phone rang.

"Um?"

Kagurazaka Iris was slightly taken aback, the caller ID on the mobile phone turned out to be a call from illustrator Eri Kashiwagi.

"Hey, Kashiwagi-sensei, why do you have time to call me?" Kagurazaka Iris asked with a smile.

——[You can still laugh...Miss Kagurazaka. 】

Ying Lili asked with a slight sigh.

Kagurazaka Iris asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

——[I've already heard about Xia Shizi, the sales volume of the fifth volume of her latest work seems to be only 11,000 copies... This should be her worst result since her debut. 】

"Well, it's like this at the moment... Uesugi-sensei told you about the sales volume?" Kagurazaka Iris asked after thinking for a while.

Ying Lili's voice hesitated for a moment.
