In the eyes of strangers who don't know her well, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is probably a demure and elegant iceberg literary girl who refuses to be seen thousands of miles away.

In the eyes of acquaintances, she is a bit sinister but not overly so. She is shy easily and is not good at accepting compliments.

Putting down his hands, Qianliu saw that she was in good condition and expected to recover within a day or two of cultivation, so he planned to leave.

Wait a minute, can you please help me read the manuscript for the second volume of Metronome of Love? Kasumigaoka Shiyu quickly stopped him.

Qianliu paused, then turned around and said, You are still sick now, and you will have a lot of time in the future.

The subtext is that there is no need to rush for the time being.

But... The girl pursed her lips tightly, with hesitation in her eyes.

The first volume of the debut work Metronome of Love was successfully published as expected, but when it was released, there was no sign of a reprint.

Yuanzi told her that if she continued like this, she would probably be cut in half after the third volume.

Kasumigaoka didn't want to give up halfway and found various ways, whether starting from himself or looking for other ways, but to no avail.

As time went by, the sales of the works not only did not increase, but also declined and were submerged in the huge light novel market.

Then, Yuanzi gave her a suggestion and asked another well-known light novelist in the industry for help.

To be able to soar into the sky in just one or two years, the genius light novelist Hanasegawa must have his own uniqueness. Although the two specialize in different fields, they always have some things in common.

Yuanzi was willing to take the initiative to introduce her, Kasumigaoka was very grateful, so she wanted to seize this opportunity.

Okay, I understand. Looking into her eyes, Qianliu finally returned to where he was and sat down: What about the manuscript?

Kasumigaoka quickly stood up and opened her laptop to get it: Here.

Taking the initiative to push the chair to the table, the girl watched him sit down and began to look at the manuscript without ceremony.

Reading from the second volume does not affect Qianliu's judgment at all. Metronome of Love itself is a simple story about a boy meeting a girl and then falling in love, many things happened, and they broke up, but in the end they stayed together.

Most light novels have similar routines. The difficult thing is how to use these routines to give people a refreshing feeling.

Including writing style, writing techniques and so on.

What he needs to do is review the second volume to see if there are any errors or loopholes that shouldn't be there.

Until he finished the second volume half an hour later, Qianliu had not caught any obvious flaws. Although it was a little immature in some places, the judging criteria were too harsh for newcomers who had just debuted.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the first volume again.

At first, Kasumigaoka was nervous and uneasy, like a student who had just finished a test paper for the teacher to grade.

As time passed by, she calmed down and looked at Qianliu's serious profile, a little curious about how he managed to shock the industry in just two or three years.

Only when you step into this industry can you understand how difficult it is to reach the level of Qianliu.

Thinking about it, Kasumigaoka couldn't help but be in a trance. Strictly speaking, she had a bit of a chasing mentality towards Qianliu. She was almost at the same age, so why was she so much better than herself.

So, in the room, aside from the rustling sound of the mouse moving, only the steady breathing of the two people remained.

Until the hour hand points to three and the minute hand points to twelve o'clock.

I know what the problem is. After finally reading the first and second volumes, Qianliu let go of his slightly knitted brows.

Ah? Kasumigaoka seemed to wake up.

Qianliu looked at her squarely: There's probably not much problem with the story. I'll modify some parts that don't have enough emotional tension and polish it a bit. Although it won't become a big hit, it will be a bestseller.

What Kasumigaoka lacks is publicity and exposure, the first step to get others interested.

Take the first step and the rest will follow naturally.

Without exposure, no matter how good your work is, it will be difficult to stand out.

They say gold will shine. If you throw it into a pile of chalcopyrite, it will take God knows how long to dig it out. Maybe it will be mixed with brass and melted together. *

Chapter 17 What kind of hidden setting is this?

Is that all?

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned, this was slightly different from what she thought.

She originally thought there was something wrong with her writing. After all, she had no one to point out, she didn’t know any other author friends, and she knew little about the industry.

Furthermore, Machida Enoko's advice to her was limited, so she began to doubt whether she was really not good at writing.

Qianliu comforted him: Don't worry, since the quality is passed, sales will pick up sooner or later.

After giving her solid confidence, Qianliu stood up and asked, Do you have a line?

Kasumigaoka nodded: It didn't take long to register.

Okay, add me first, and then ask if you have any questions. That's it for today. Once you get better, you can change the bold areas of the mouse. If you're not sure, send it to me. As for publicity, don't worry about it. , Qianliu has come to the entrance to put on his shoes.

Staring at his back, Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt weak but supported for the first time and couldn't help blurting out: Why are you helping me like this?

why……

There are quite a few reasons. The explanation should be more lively. Yuanzi's request should be more noble. He wants to support newcomers... There are more or less reasons, but the most important thing is... Qianliu waved his hand towards her: You must be lucky that you are a beautiful girl, otherwise I would not have the heart to talk so much to a fat nerd.

Then the door closed and the footsteps at the door gradually faded away.

Kasumigaoka's beautiful face illuminated by the laptop screen first flashed a look of astonishment. This sentence obviously sounded a bit excessive, and seemed to be mocking her as a vase, but Kasumigaoka wanted to laugh inexplicably.

In fact, she had thought a lot just now, but in the final analysis, the only bargaining chip she could bring was her beauty and figure, and she was still relatively confident in this aspect.

The end result was unexpected, but not entirely unexpected.

Unexpected and reasonable.

Senryu Hazegawa, a very interesting senior, completely different from what he imagined.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu glanced at the computer and roughly skipped at least four or five bolded paragraphs, and the rest of the details were countless.

Have you been merciful before? Behind the wry smile, there is inevitably a fighting spirit that refuses to admit defeat.

There will still be many days of contact in the future, and she will never make similar mistakes again.

On the other hand, Qianliu, who left Kasumigaoka Shiu's rental house, did not return to Sakurasou immediately.

Tomorrow Xiaotiao Youshihua will bring her sister to visit, so she needs to be well entertained. Food and other necessary ingredients must be prepared, drinks, juice and so on.

Hey, I suddenly felt that it was really troublesome, so I might as well just eat hot pot.
