The Shocking Eunuch, Reborn as a Literary Girl

Chapter 27: A Touch of Genuine Emotion (Please Read and Vote!)
Upon hearing this question, Chiya Umehara paused for a moment.

Was it based on his own sister?

She really hadn't intentionally thought about it in that direction.

It should be said that this novel was not prepared in any particular way; all the characters were created on the spot as needed, serving as mere tools.
For example, the purpose of the character Elia is, firstly, to give readers some room for imagination. After all, who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with a beautiful girl and be relied upon by her?
On the other hand, it also serves as an "audience" to ensure that people watch the protagonist show off.

The same principle applies to the role of the younger sister.

Her existence also serves another purpose.

Although she is not as heavily involved in the main storyline as Iria, her purpose is to serve as a "weak point" for the protagonist.

She is a lovely female character.

She is lively, kind, gentle, and considerate, and trusts her older sister unconditionally.

By using simple labeling techniques, the reader can quickly develop a liking for the character. This makes the reader more inclined to empathize with the protagonist when she faces a death threat, and feel a strong urge to "save her."

"Your family members will all die within three days."
It seems to have created a sense of pressure and expectation.

But if it's just like that, it's actually difficult to resonate with readers.

The protagonist's parents are not the readers' parents.

For readers to empathize with the protagonist and feel a connection to their life or death, a motivation is needed.

To put it bluntly.

If the protagonist doesn't have a pretty and cute younger sister, and only has two elderly parents, then the message might be, "Your parents are dying, and you must save them within three days."
Would readers have such a strong desire to read?

It might sound harsh, but...
At least the effect will definitely be a little worse.

That's the significance of the younger sister's character.

Only a beautiful, cute, and considerate younger sister can adequately support the reader's protective instincts.

Therefore, in conclusion, she feels that all the content she has created in this book so far is just subconsciously applying formulas to things she already knows.

Therefore, she was somewhat confused by her sister's statement.

But she did not deny it immediately.

Instead, he vaguely asked, "Why do you think that?"

Umehara Amane blushed and blushed shyly for a moment, then hesitated before answering, "It's...that."

"I have finished reading your novel, sister."

"In the novel, the protagonist worked so hard for his family and his sister, right?"

"After reading it, I feel the story is simply... simply..."

At this point, she lowered her head and paused to think.

Then she suddenly raised her head and looked at Umehara Chiya very seriously.

"This is exactly the same as my relationship with you, sister, isn't it?"

"Sister, you're working so hard to earn money because of me, aren't you?"

"You work so hard so that I can go to school and have a good life."

"Yesterday, I wanted to stop you many times and tell you to stop writing, but after watching the live stream and reading your novel, I suddenly realized, sister, you are just like the protagonist in the novel, you have a reason to work hard, right?"

"Sister, your feelings are projected into the stories you write in this way."

"So, I feel your kindness, sister." "I also realize that my previous one-sided feeling that you didn't consider my feelings and were just self-indulgently doing things for me made me very uncomfortable. That was actually wrong!"

"Because I'm just indulging in self-pity. I think if you didn't have to worry about me, you wouldn't have to work so hard and suffer so much."

But actually, if it weren't for me, you would be in pain, and if I were not doing well, you would blame yourself.
Therefore, I was wrong.

Hearing what his sister said, Umehara Chiya was stunned.

She did not respond or refute immediately.

But thinking.

Did I use her as a model?

Logically speaking, she certainly wouldn't have had this thought in mind.

After all, it's just a mass-produced assembly line product, so she won't put too much of her effort into it.

They carefully considered the character's personality and projected their own emotions onto the role.
It shouldn't be, right?
She initially wanted to say no, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that, indeed, the protagonist's emotions in this novel were too closely aligned with her own.

My sister's personality is too similar to that of my real-life sister.

That is
'Although I didn't consciously intend to invest my emotions, did I still subconsciously project my own situation into the role?'

This conjecture is reasonable.

Rather, it's because time was too tight and thinking was too superficial that what I wrote down were all instinctive, subconscious, and the first things that came to mind.

Do you need a cute and likable female character?
In her subconscious, the cutest and most beloved female character was undoubtedly her younger sister.

A sister who is a bit nagging and motherly, but still cares about and loves her.

Does the story need a crisis to make it feel more suspenseful?
Subconsciously, her biggest fear was that something would happen to her younger sister.

There is nothing worse in this world than something happening to her sister. If her sister can't live a good life, she will be in great pain.

As for the satisfying part after resolving the incident?
That would naturally be to ensure a good life for myself and my sister.

In reality, she promised to take her sister out for a big meal once she made some money.

In the novel, after initially resolving the crisis, the protagonist also buys his younger sister, who wants to learn magic, a staff that she has always dreamed of.

That's right, subconsciously, she felt that making her cute little sister happy was her greatest satisfaction.
Thinking of this, Chiya Umehara's expression became somewhat strange.

They said it was just mass-produced, formulaic garbage.
I had promised that I would only write novels for the mass-market and offline retail sector.

Why do I subconsciously project my own true feelings onto others?

Although the plot structure and character design are formulaic.

However, when filling in the formula, the fill element she used was genuine and heartfelt.

This made her feel like a failure.

She felt ashamed to have actually poured her heart and soul into a work that was described as "completely devoid of any effort."

Seeing her sister freeze in silence, Umehara Amane took it as an admission of her statement.

So she smiled happily and said, "Sister, I will always, always support you!"

"You will always be the strongest and best sister in my heart!"
