Chapter 26 Makoto Fukuzawa, who loves books as much as his life

As dusk approached, there were still only three voices in the literary club room.

The sound of drinking water, turning the pages of books, and typing on the keyboard.

It is mid-April now, and we are about to come to the end of spring. Occasionally, there is a slight cool breeze blowing into the room, but it does not make people feel cold, but rather comfortable.

Saionji Akino revised his 3,000-word manuscript three or four times before finally pressing the save button.

This is the version he rewrote last night after completely overthrowing the three versions he wrote last night.

He found that every time he read another book, or even every more hour, he would have new ideas and think of new sentences that were more suitable for the story.

But the overall story is not wrong, but he has no idea about the good and bad and how it is described.

However, no matter how bad it is, this is also the story of Your Name. The plot of this story alone makes Saionji Akino think it can be popular, but he still hopes to write it as better as possible so that this kind of excellent work can be popular here

Only if it is widely circulated around the world and praised by others can it be considered worthy of the author of the previous life.

"It's written." Saionji Akino then noticed that there was a glass of water at his hand. He took a sip and said thank you to Himekawa Mao.

Himekawa Mao shook her head gently and stared at the notebook with bright eyes.

"Makoto, I want to watch it together too."

"Then let's go together."

The content of 3,000 words begins with a confusing dream, some fragmentary fragments, and inexplicable lines between the male and female protagonists. It can be said that the beginning is not very gripping.

But this part only lasted less than 300 words, and I quickly got to the point.

The male and female protagonist's body s

The first scene is from the perspective of the male protagonist Taki.

Akino Saionji was very impressed here, so some of the reactions to the male protagonist possessing the body of a strange girl were also written in great detail, and some of the psychological activities were also highlighted.

In the end, the content of these three thousand words was probably settled at the point where the heroine also discovered that she had switched bodies.

Frankly speaking, just by reading the opening chapter, I can't actually tell much. So far, I can only see a general outline of the story and the following plot contradictions.

That is, the chaotic dream at the beginning, those lines, and why the bodies were swapped?

Also, the comet hitting the earth mentioned in the first scene is also a foreshadowing?

As a senior who also made money from light novels, Makoto has also written many best-selling works, so she thinks she is qualified to give guidance to Akino Saionji.

But at present, it seems that Akino Saionji is really talented. This story throws out four suspenses at the beginning, attracting readers to speculate, and it also uses the novel opening method of exchanging bodies.

This kind of opening can be said to be much better than many peach stories on the market that can be read at a glance.

But...why do I feel like this story won’t be long?

"Interesting! Very interesting, Saionji-kun!!" Himekawa Mao said with a rosy face. She rarely reads light novels, and this is naturally the first time she has come into contact with the body-swapping routine, which is not new.

Although it was described that the male protagonist possessed the heroine the first time and chose to catch the female protagonist... which made her feel bad, but after thinking about it carefully, it was precisely this way that had a dramatic effect, made it interesting, and the follow-up would not be interesting.

I care.

Reading along the way, it is quite smooth, and several foreshadowings are very obvious, making people look forward to the next development.

"Thanks."

However, Saionji Akino did not relax, after all, Fukuzawa Makoto had not spoken yet.

After a while, Fukuzawa Makoto read the opening chapter again and asked: "Have you made all the outlines of this novel from the beginning to the end, right?"

"Yes."

"As expected... Then I won't talk about the issues that need to be paid attention to in the development of the storyline. You already know enough."

"Then let's talk about your writing. Your writing... actually from the perspective of writing a light novel, it's completely adequate and no problem at all."

"But I always feel that you are deliberately limiting yourself. You seem to write the article according to a formula. First, describe the scene, and finally cut into the dialogue, and then move to the action. In fact, you can be more flexible. For example, the dream at the beginning is just

You can start directly with dialogue, and those scene descriptions can be put into the second paragraph of the psychological description of the protagonist after he wakes up."

"You don't have to be too rigid when writing. Sometimes the shining points that are enough to make people remember them are just out of sudden whims."

"Following the rules will only destroy the spirituality of your novel."

After hearing this, Akino Saionji smiled bitterly and said, "But I always feel that I lack confidence and am a little afraid that my writing will ruin the most beautiful picture of this story. This is what worries me the most."

"Why do you put so much pressure on yourself?" Fukuzawa Makoto frowned and said: "Saionji-kun, your mentality is wrong. Even if I admit that your story is indeed innovative and interesting enough, you can't think about it.

Achieving success in one step? It’s normal for a first work to have problems of one kind or another, but as creators, we can’t stop writing just because we can’t make it perfect.”

"This is a tip-off, and there is no such thing as perfect in this world. There will always be shortcomings."

"Yes, Saionji-kun, you should be more confident and write boldly." Himekawa Mao also encouraged.

"I understand." Xiionji Akino listened to their sincere suggestions and replied seriously.

"There are... some questions. Although Saionji-kun, you already have a complete story and a matching writing style, have you studied the market, or have you ever thought about why some novels are best-selling?" Fukuzawa Makoto said lightly.

He closed the laptop lightly and asked.

"Because it captures the needs of readers...and the story itself is interesting enough?"

"Well, you are right, but there is another key point."

"You need to be clear about the positioning of the novel you write. For example, mystery novels are written for mystery fans, so the words in them should not be gorgeous, but should be simple and concise."

"With some romance novels, your plot can be terrible, but the character of the protagonist must be vivid, and the protagonist must be able to resonate with the majority of people. In romance novels, the writing style should naturally be more beautiful and gorgeous."

"There is also serious literature. Why ordinary people can't understand serious literature? It's because it is written that way on purpose. Some entanglements and some deep discussions about human nature are all things that literary works must write about, so

The plot inside must be heavy, not pleasant and lighthearted.”

"Then light novels, what is the mission of light novels?"

"It's very simple. It is to give readers an outlet for their emotions, to make them feel comfortable after reading, and to pass the time. This is the task of light novels."

"So in view of this positioning, your novel can actually make some fine-tuning in terms of writing and overall plot."

"You have to think about which plot and which part of the lines can best convey the emotion and make readers empathize with what you are writing. This is very critical."

"If you achieve this, your novel will definitely sell well. On the contrary, even if it is a good story, it may be difficult to discover and eventually the pearl will be dusted."

After listening to Fukuzawa Makoto's words, Saionji Akino's original thoughts of being confused and confused disappeared.

These are all excellent speeches!

Sure enough, joining the literary club is a very right choice!

"I understand, thank you for your advice." Akino Saionji thanked Fukuzawa Makoto very sincerely.

This was the first time that Fukuzawa Makoto told others this as a teacher. She blushed slightly and said, "You don't have to be like this. After all, you are a member of our club. This is a must-have benefit for joining the club."

"Well, if you finish writing the manuscript... remember to show it to me as soon as possible..."

"If there's anything wrong with it, I'll continue to give you advice."

"Also, do you need me to introduce you to an editor? If necessary...I can also help you introduce him."

Hearing this, Saionji Akino blushed. He asked others to help him with everything. Isn't this a bit...

"You don't have to feel embarrassed. I'm just an introduction. I can't guarantee that your novel will be published or sold."

"Everything depends on the quality of the novel itself. If the quality is high enough, it will be popular wherever it is placed." Fukuzawa Makoto said lightly.

After Xiionji Akino heard this, he paused and said, "Then I'll submit this myself. Thank you, Fukuzawa-san."

"Well, it's okay."

"It's getting late, so that's the end of today's club activities."

"Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"Bye bye, Saionji-kun~"

After Saionji Akino left the club, Fukuzawa Makoto's tense breath was instantly relieved.

She opened the notebook in front of her and carefully read the opening chapter written by Saionji Akino again.

As she watched, her two fair legs began to swing involuntarily.

The girl was very happy. Compared with guiding Saionji Akino, what really made her happy was.

She is about to witness the birth of a beautiful novel.

"I really want to urge him to write it quickly...but...ah...this opening chapter is really well written...these foreshadowings are also..."

"I really want to see the progress of the story, I really want to see..." Fukuzawa Makoto lay on the table and whispered softly, with more and more brilliance in his eyes.

Himekawa Mao looked at Fukuzawa Makoto's cute appearance and couldn't help pinching her cheek with her hands, "Don't worry Makoto, I think Saionji-kun is still very diligent. He can probably finish it in a week."

?”

"One week... it's such a long time..." Fukuzawa Makoto felt itchy in her heart. She felt uncomfortable if she couldn't read the full text for a day!

"You really love books as much as your life..." Himekawa Mao chuckled.
Chapter completed!
