Writing light novels and writing web novels actually have some commonalities, namely serialization.
It’s just that light novel serialization intervals are longer, while web novel serialization intervals are much shorter.
But regardless of the format, there’s a big problem, which is that it’s very difficult to modify chapters that have already been released.
Even someone like Jin Yong, a renowned writer, would think twice and be cautious about modifications. Let alone ordinary people like them.
Therefore, for Kashiwazaki Shiori, the biggest problem now is how to make the plot richer while ensuring continuity with the first volume already released, so as not to appear abrupt.
Of course, the purpose of the plot is to highlight the characters.
Kashiwazaki Shiori’s ultimate goal is still to make the character Sayo-ka resonate with readers.
Lacking friends, she always thinks, if Sayo-ka could be accepted by others, could she also be accepted?
“Haruno-kun, these are the problems. I can’t just change the male lead now, what should I do...” Kashiwazaki Shiori slumped in her chair, hugging her knees.
This action made Haruno-kun look away.
Senpai, you’re showing too much...
Because she was at home, Kashiwazaki Shiori wasn’t wearing the usual black tights, but had chosen casual home wear. Today’s shorts weren’t very long, and her two plump thighs were exposed to the air.
This action made the originally seductive girl appear more pitiful, making people feel sorry for her.
“Senpai, don’t worry, there are actually many ways.” Seeing Kashiwazaki Shiori’s appearance, Haruno-kun felt a little sorry for her.
After all, this was related to his rice bowl. For money, he decided to stop pretending.
“Actually, Senpai, your first volume was really well-written, and Sayo-ka is a very well-developed character. I’ve already expressed my admiration.”
“And Senpai, if you want to enrich the character image and make the plot more fulfilling, why not start with the male lead?”
If there were visuals, a black screen would appear around Kashiwazaki Shiori’s head now, followed by a flash of lightning, bringing light.
“That’s right, there’s also Naoki!” The girl suddenly woke up.
This action made Haruno-kun speechless.
Please, Senpai, even if Sayo-ka is your alter ego, you can’t let the male lead have such a low presence, right?
And it was precisely because of Kashiwazaki Shiori’s operation that this book had an awkward part.
“Senpai, don’t you think, judging from the first volume, that Naoki is actually not worthy of Sayo-ka?”
Haruno-kun hit the nail on the head.
There are so many moving love stories in history, but almost all of them share a common point: the male and female leads must work together.
If one party submits, it will inevitably become a tragedy.
But it is precisely because the two work together, improve together, that the hard-won love becomes even more cherished, and also makes countless readers sigh with emotion.
But what about the novel “Love Beat”?
It was precisely because of Kashiwazaki Shiori’s excellent writing that she created Sayo-ka as a nearly perfect girl.
The reason why it’s said to be nearly perfect is because she also has many common problems with girls, such as being sensitive, such as being willful.
But in Kashiwazaki Shiori’s pen, these little flaws did not harm Sayo-ka’s image, but instead made readers feel that this kind of girl was more real, more lovely.
Do you really think there are perfect girls in life?
The reason why people have contradictions is actually because, 100% of people are different, but 99% of people cannot accept this difference.
But in the novel, the girl’s little flaws brought her back to earth from high in the sky, allowing readers to feel that Sayo-ka was just like the girls around us.
This sense of closeness is the reason why the first volume of “Love Beat” was a great success.
But in comparison, what kind of image is Naoki?
A typical light novel male lead. Aside from being kind, he can’t even find a single virtue.
Even if he’s a little straight, a little wooden, or has a low EQ, as long as readers can see that Naoki is working hard for their relationship, trying his best to improve himself, they can accept this character taking their “wife” away.
But what kind of look does “Love Beat” have now?
Haruno-kun always felt that Kashiwazaki Shiori was telling everyone that you don’t need to work hard, you don’t need to be excellent, as long as you’re a gentle, considerate, good-for-nothing boy, you’ll have a perfect girl like Sayo-ka actively pursuing you.
Are you dreaming?
How could there be such a good thing in real life?
Moreover, if you really follow Kashiwazaki Shiori’s outline to write the second volume, maybe the male lead will have to add another label.
PUA.
Flitting between two girls, taking advantage of their feelings for him, unscrupulously playing with two excellent girls, isn’t this PUA?
Thinking about this, Haruno-kun couldn’t help but want to rush into the book “Love Beat” and beat up this good-for-nothing guy.
“So, Senpai, hurry up and fill out the male lead’s image.”
“Love is always a two-way street. If only one person is trying hard to walk towards the other, this relationship will never last.”
Haruno-kun looked like a chicken soup master at this moment.
But no matter what, in his heart, love is like this.
Don’t always say that men are too tired or women are too tired.
The reality is that everyone is tired!
Even a stay-at-home wife, do you think housework is something easy to do? It’s just three simple words, but they often require them to devote a whole day, only to have a clean and tidy environment when you get home from work.
It’s the same for men, do you really think the salary you bring home every month is something easy to earn? The current Haruno-kun has already had a profound understanding.
So, if you want a long-lasting love, it’s always a matter of two people. If you only unilaterally emphasize that men or women are more tired, why even talk about love?
Wouldn’t it be better to go to a debate competition?
After listening to Haruno-kun’s chicken soup, Kashiwazaki Shiori’s expression became strange.
“Haruno-kun, you’re actually a player, aren’t you?”
To be fair, how could you have such feelings if you haven’t experienced ten or eight love affairs?
Haruno-kun, reputation damaged.
