The Shocking Eunuch, Reborn as a Literary Girl

Chapter 26 Goal: Animation! (Please read on and vote!)
It's impossible to compare Japanese novels with Chinese online novels in terms of which is better.

After all, the people of the two countries have different aesthetics and different cultural atmospheres.

What is poison to one is honey to another.

Discussing the objective "absolute good or bad" of works from the two countries is not very meaningful.

However, one thing is undeniable: the international influence of Japan's entertainment industry is indeed far greater than that of its domestic entertainment industry.

However, this influence does not seem to have benefited the light novel industry to a great extent.

Even just talking about the light novel industry, it can be said that it is completely inferior to online novels.

Although online literature is a niche activity, the Chinese online literature market is indeed large and vibrant, giving rise to many popular IPs and enabling many authors to make a living from it.

At least in China, it can be considered a relatively high-quality career choice in the cultural and entertainment industry.

But light novels are another story; in Japan, they've been completely crushed by the manga industry.

Popular Japanese manga often sells millions of copies a year, while light novels are considered to be doing well if they sell hundreds of thousands of copies annually.

As part of the entertainment industry, light novels are basically subordinate to comics.

It's fair to say that in Japan, anyone who wants to make a living through creative work, especially someone with drawing skills, would absolutely not choose to write novels.

But Chiya Umehara knew one thing very well.
The light novel industry may be struggling, but Japan's animation industry is thriving!
Including China and Europe and America, the vast majority of viewers outside of Japan do not have a particular interest in a Japanese light novel.

This is an absolutely small circle.

However, if a novel is adapted into an anime and becomes a huge hit, that's a completely different story.

The influence of Japanese animation is world-class.

A good anime will have a significant impact, whether in China, South Korea, or the West.

It's certainly a bit difficult for an overseas reader to read a Japanese light novel.

But if you tell them, "This is the original work of the anime, and there will be storylines that the anime didn't cover," then quite a few people will watch it.

Many of these people, while being intrigued by the anime and eagerly searching for resources to read the sequel, would say, "Sigh, this Japanese writing is really bad. If it weren't for the anime, this novel would be nothing."

"I only watched this because of the anime; the anime saved the original work."

That's right! That's exactly the effect she wanted!

Originally, this novel was just a transitional work for her to make money. She didn't take it too seriously and just planned to write it casually, write two or three volumes to earn some money for baby formula, and then finish it and start a new serialization.

But now, she has changed her mind.

"I need to get this book animated."

That's right.

She wanted these readers to look down on her novels and express their disdain, but because of their inner expectations, they still had no choice but to swallow this lump of stuff that they clearly considered "history"!

Or rather, it's okay if you don't read novels.

Even if you're just watching anime, you're still forced to watch a story you created.

He kept saying, "If it weren't for the good animation adaptation, the pacing wouldn't be as good as a typical domestic wish-fulfillment novel," but he still obediently read through what he had written.

She just wants to use the most formulaic and conventional methods.
It's about getting rid of these things they look down on.
"So you'll eat it willingly!"

To achieve this goal, she needs to make the novel available to online libraries and gain popularity so that it is favored by online libraries.

Most importantly, the library needs to feel that its books have value and invest sufficient resources in adaptation.

so.
She still needs to give it her all!
"Just wait. I will make that day come."

"When the time comes, I'll create a new account and tear you stray dogs apart online."

A twisted, villainous smile appeared on her face.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Just as Umehara Chiya was immersed in her own fantasy...
Suddenly, her younger sister's voice came from outside the room. "Sister? Are you awake?"

Upon hearing this, Umehara Chiya quickly stopped laughing, coughed awkwardly, and hurriedly went to open the door.

When I opened the door, my younger sister had a hint of worry on her small face.

She asked gently, "Um...sister, what just happened? I heard you laughing out loud in there."

Chiya Umehara shook her head repeatedly and explained, "No, no, no, it's just that, uh... I made some money, so I'm a little happy."

"Yes, it is like that."

Her reason was just made up.

After all, it's impossible for him to say out loud that he's lying in bed alone, hysterical, and wondering how he'll stomp on readers' heads when the anime is adapted into something.

However, the younger sister clearly didn't care about that.

She just...
Looking at myself very seriously and affectionately.

Then, she asked softly, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Umehara Chiya instinctively became a little wary.

After smacking his lips and pausing for a moment, he replied somewhat guiltily:
"After staying up all night, there will naturally be some discomfort, but it's all within a manageable range."

It's actually not within a controllable range at all.

My head is dizzy and aching, and my body feels like it's about to fall apart.

My hands were in excruciating pain after typing intensely; all ten fingers felt like they were shaking uncontrollably.

But she was worried that her sister would come after her again, saying that she wasn't taking care of her health, so she could only try to fool her.

Surprisingly, her sister didn't confront her today.

Instead, she was very gentle and soft, gently reaching out her little hands to massage my arms and relax my muscles.

Then she said, "Sister, dinner is ready for you. Would you like to come out and eat?"

Chiya Umehara nodded repeatedly: "Ah, okay."

After that, she was led to the living room by her younger sister.

Today, my sister prepared a very sumptuous dinner for her.

Omelette rice, teriyaki chicken, miso soup, stew.
Although they are all very common home-style dishes, they are made very delicately and with great care, making them look very appetizing.

After a busy night and a full day of sleep, Chiya Umehara's hunger level is now out of control.

Seeing such a sumptuous dinner, she didn't stand on ceremony with her sister and sat down to eat right away.

Seeing her older sister enjoying the food she had prepared so much, Umehara Amane smiled happily.

She didn't do anything special, just sat next to Umehara Chiya and kept her company.

Until they saw that Umehara Chiya had almost finished eating.

She blushed and asked somewhat shyly, "Um... sister."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I'd like to ask you something. Was the younger sister in your novel based on me?"

　P.S.: The comments section is a bit exaggerated today.

　　I'm a little scared, so I'll delete some of the more offensive comments later. I hope everyone understands.

　　Then, as usual, I ask for more reading and votes.
