The depressing writer of the anime series, Xue No cried and begged for a break

The editor-in-chief of GA Library cast his eyes on the screen with doubt, and saw the entry of "Four Lies" at first glance.

Then he looked at the heat data at the back, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"This, this is impossible!"

He couldn't believe his eyes, so he rubbed them and looked again!

Editor-in-Chief: "..."

Good news: It has really changed!

Bad news: It's gotten taller than before!

He looked at Toki Kentaro and said in horror:

"Kentaro, what's going on? Is Dengeki Bunko trying to gain publicity for "Four Lies"?!"

Kentaro Toki smiled bitterly and said:

"Editor-in-chief, it's the famous voice actor, Hoshino Kurara. She has been very popular recently because of her role in Ikuhara Hideaki's final work. She posted a post about "Four Lies" on her official account. This is also the first post about her life on her official account..."

Hoshino Kurara...that national voice actor.

The editor-in-chief was so angry that his face turned purple and he slammed his palm on the table.

Bang!

"F**K, this Dengeki Bunko has no moral principles!!! Let's take a look at the data of their Amazon online store."

"Editor-in-chief...it shows it's sold out!"

"..."

Dengeki Bunko over here!

Regarding the sudden surge in popularity of "Four Lies", Fujii Yuuna was the first to give it to Kagurazaka Ayame.

Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka was a little confused at first!

But after learning the content, I was also very happy!

"That was a great move, Teacher Ikaros!"

"No wonder he doesn't reveal his identity even though he's so good-looking. He doesn't seem to be worried about sales. It turns out he has a backup plan!"

"After Kurara became popular for her role as the voice actress of Meruru, she has been very popular for showing up at events!"

“I didn’t expect she would be willing to advertise Four Lies!”

Even Kagurazaka was a little curious about how Takagawa Saku did it.

"By the way, Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, the copy of Four Lies that we put on Amazon Mall was sold out right after it went on sale. What should we do?"

Since Amazon does not offer free shipping for items priced under 2000 yen, people tend to buy light novels at offline bookstores.

Therefore, the sales volume they leave for online merchants is not very large, but at least it seems that the inventory left for online merchants is somewhat insufficient!

"Fujii, I always feel like I'm back to the night when Senjumura was collecting new books for sale. The Four Lies might be a success! A big success! Apply for an emergency reprint immediately. I'll go to Editor-in-Chief Suzuki tomorrow morning to get his approval!"

"...".

Chapter 58: Once released, it’s sold out. You call this a newcomer?

Itsuki Hashima is the first-line writer sent by GAGA Library to target Saku Takagawa.

Because there is no class today!

As a college student, he stayed up all night playing games with his friends last night.

When he woke up in his rental house.

It's almost noon.

He took out his cell phone from under the covers and saw that his editor-in-chief, Kentaro Toki, had called him many times.

Only then did I vaguely remember that today seemed to be the day when my new book was released.

"Jianjian called me so many times, it looks like the sales of volume 7 should be pretty good."

He immediately felt relieved.

If possible, I'm afraid no writer would want to contact his or her editor-in-chief, especially a procrastinating writer like Hashima Itsuki.

So Hashima Itsuki didn't return Toki Kentaro's call.

He simply washed up, changed his clothes, and ate the breakfast his brother prepared for him... perhaps it should be called lunch now.

"Although the rice balls made by Chihiro are delicious, I still want to eat the rice balls made by my sister. Hey, it would be nice if I had a sister."

Then he planned to go out to the bookstore.

He planned to take a look at the new work of Fujimi Shobo's competitor, Watano Kohei, "Season of White Love."

In his opinion.

As long as Watano Kohei is defeated.

The Oricon chart champion in May.

It's basically in his pocket.

Before I arrived at the bookstore, I saw the bookstore's promotion from afar, and the work of him and Kohei Watano was in the center.

You can see it before you enter the door.

He came to the "White Love Season" book section, picked up a demo copy that had been unsealed and started reading.

But I just watched the beginning!

His mood suddenly became a little uneasy.

As expected of a famous game screenwriter, he felt that the other party's work was well written from the beginning.

It took some time to finish reading it, but Izuki Shima still felt a little unsatisfied.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He felt that as a transitional light novel writer, the other party had basically achieved what a first-line writer could do.

Full of techniques!

Better than any other work!

Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt that he was slightly better than his own level!

But there are also disadvantages!

It seems a bit literary, not as straightforward and refreshing as his works.

With popularity not much different from his!

The factors that can determine the success or failure of this sales competition are actually the audience's taste preferences and the subsequent promotion of the two works.

He put the book down!

Just as he was about to leave the bookstore, he planned to see if there were any dark horse books in this issue, but suddenly he found that the promotion of "Four Lies" was also in the key area of ​​​​the C position.

Hashima Itsuki was immediately happy:

"They even gave it such a prominent promotional position. It seems that Dengeki Bunko hasn't given up on that newcomer yet."

Of course he remembered "Four Lies", after all, the other party's readers had come to his social account to scold him.

But he doesn't hold a grudge.

I thought since I had finally come to the bookstore, I might as well take a look at the quality of his work which has already caused fans to criticize him before it is even released.

He also made a plan.

If "Four Lies" was better written, he would find an opportunity to cover "Four Lies" with "White Love Season" when the clerk was not paying attention.

Otherwise, it’s the other way around.

This action is the instinct of light novel writers and magazine models, and almost no one can resist it.

But after walking around, he was suddenly confused.

"No, what about the book 'Four Lies'?"

strolled around

Hashima Itsuki couldn't find the bookshelf with "Four Lies". He even searched the remote areas but still couldn't find "Four Lies".

But he was unwilling to give up!

I had no choice but to go to the front desk and ask the clerk.

Hearing Hashima Itsuki's question.

The clerk looked at Hashima Itsuki as if he were a fool.

But his tone was still very polite: "Sorry sir, they are sold out this morning. If you want to buy some, I'm afraid you'll have to come early tomorrow..."

"Um... let me ask, what do you mean by sold out?" Hashima Itsuki didn't understand what the clerk meant and was a little confused.

"It was sold out this morning! We had 2000 copies in stock, and they were all sold out!"

"Is it really sold out? 2000 copies?" Hashima Itsuki froze, and the expression in his eyes slowly turned into shock.

He understands it best because he has been dealing with bookstores for many years.

One bookstore sold out.

Before restocking, I will give priority to borrowing from other bookstores, and then return them after restocking.

But if there is no supplement!

That means that all the large bookstores within a ten-mile radius are basically sold out.

Naturally, the number of first prints of newcomers' works is not as high as that of first-line writers.

But is it really that easy to sell out?

Why doesn't he believe it?

The feeling that something was wrong gradually grew, and his previously relaxed expression gradually disappeared.

“Why does it feel like something is wrong?”

He turned around and saw that there was indeed an empty shelf next to them, and the promotional picture on it was "Four Lies".

But because he hadn't seen the book before, he didn't read it carefully.

2000 copies? They were sold out in the morning.

What on earth is going on!

You call this a newcomer?

Suddenly he remembered the trial copy, which was usually a non-sale item that could not be purchased after being opened.

"Miss, can I have a preview of "Four Lies", please?"

Hashima Itsuki had no choice but to ask.

The young lady sighed softly, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid that won't work."

"The trial copy was also bought by readers at a higher price."

Hashima Itsuki: “…”

Is it so exaggerated...Hashima Izuki's mouth twitched!

It seems like something big has happened.

I have to call Jianjian immediately to tell him about this.

I don't know whether to say that I was lucky or had sharp eyes, but just as I was about to leave, Izuki Hashima suddenly saw an unopened copy of "Four Lies" in the corner of the counter.

Because the cover is obviously drawn by Eromanga-sensei, and Eromanga's light painting technique can make the work look extremely vivid from a distance.

He was very impressed.

"Is there another copy of The Four Lies there? Can you sell it to me?"

"I left that for my brother. I've already paid for it. The bookstore doesn't sell it."
