A Salted Fish In the Second Element

Chapter 395: See also settings

"Maya, what the **** is this?" Tou Hanyu again patiently read the last part of the black cat's manuscript. It didn't take long for Hanyu to collapse, and after shouting, he threw the manuscript to the ground.

Originally, the story was normal at the beginning, and Hanyu was barely able to continue watching, but it didn't take long for a supporting character to jump out and introduce the protagonist to various world backgrounds and the ins and outs. It was from here that the novel fell into a cycle of setting up again. Hanyu couldn't help but turn to the last page of the novel and found that the supporting role had not yet explained the setting. In the prologue of the story that Black Cat gave him, more than 90% of the content is about setting, and it is justified. So Hanyu finally couldn't help it.

But after dropping the manuscript to the ground, Hanyu still picked it up embarrassingly and put it away so that it didn't look damaged. After all, at this time, no matter what was written in the black cat's handwritten manuscript, Hanyu didn't have the face to ruin the manuscript for others.

Then, after looking at the black cat that was always online in the chat software, Hanyu hesitated for a while and decided to send a past message to the other party.

"I have read the manuscript."

"Hanyu-kun, what do you think? Is there anything that needs improvement?" The black cat seemed to have been waiting at the computer for Hanyu to finish reading. After Hanyu's message was sent, he immediately replied.

Hanyu felt the black cat's eagerness from the time he responded, and for a while, he didn't know how to tell the other party. Finally, after hesitating for a while, Hanyu replied to the past message.

"It seems, it feels a bit subtle."

A nervous black cat on the other side of the computer, after seeing Hanyu's reply, his breathing was also stagnant. Because of the previous experience of rejection of many submissions, Black Cat is very self-aware, knowing that Hanyu's reply is definitely not a meaning of how good his novel is, but euphemistically saying that his novel is not good.

So the somewhat lost black cat tapped the keyboard and asked Hanyu. "Is there anything wrong with the novel? Or what needs improvement?"

Hanyu looked at the black cat's question, wondering if he should tell the problem directly, and was worried about whether it would hit the black cat.

So it took a long time before Hanyu organized the language and responded to the black cat with as tactful words as possible.

"How do you say it. Although the settings in your novel felt quite interesting and fascinating at first. But after reading them, I found that your settings take up too much space."

"But these settings are the essence of my novel."

‘You’re a novel at this time, it’s not a set collection, okay? Seeing the black cat's reply, Hanyu complained in his heart with some toothache. Then he replied again.

"But your setting occupies nearly 90% of the content. Although the setting is very interesting, too many words will make the reader feel tired."

After Hanyu sent it, he noticed that the black cat was typing in the message box. For fear that the black cat would be entangled in the setting and would not give up, he hurriedly continued typing.

"Let’s make an analogy. It’s like people reading your novels are going to eat delicious food. As a result, the restaurant’s owner has begun to introduce you to the history, techniques and sources of these dishes. And this introduction It hasn't stopped. At first, everyone was hungry and looking forward to eating food, but after entering the store, they just listened to the introduction by the boss but couldn't see where the food was. Do you understand this feeling?"

Hanyu felt that his analogy was already more euphemistic and appropriate, but after sending it out, he still waited for the black cat's response with anxiety.

After a long time, Hanyu was relieved when he saw the black cat's reply.

"I see, I will correct it."

Looking at the black cat's reply, Hanyu felt that the other party should have obeyed his opinion, and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

"Well, if you encounter any problems, you can contact me and I can provide you with some comments. Then when is it convenient to return this manuscript to you."

"Hanyu-kun, the legs are inconvenient right now, so let's put it there for now, and let's talk about it when your legs are better."

Hanyu frowned as he watched the black cat's reply.

"But, will it be inconvenient if you don't have a manuscript, if you want to revise the novel."

"It's okay, I have all those settings in my head."

‘It’s all in your head? Hanyu looked at the black cat's reply and glanced at the manuscript at hand with some speechlessness. This thick manuscript has a few hundred thousand words less, of which 90% is the setting. Hanyu suddenly felt that it seemed that it was not a simple matter to suggest a novel for the black cat.

So Hanyu had a headache and replied to the other party. "Anyway, you should make the settings less. It's best to integrate the settings perfectly into the plot of the novel. I feel like you want to eat a delicious meal, and when I feel a little curious to ask the boss, the boss jumps out. Tell you about the cooking situation. Is this feeling you understand?"

"let me try."

Then Hanyu ended the conversation with Black Cat a little nervously, praying in his heart that the other party would listen to his opinions. Hanyu said that he really didn't want to read the set.

But now that he was chatting with the black cat, Hanyu naturally remembered Kosaka Kirino. After looking at it, he found that the other party happened to be ahead, so he sent a message.

"Are you there?"

"Yeah, something?"

"No, it just feels like I haven't contacted for some time, so I'd like to greet you."

"Hehe, so you are so idle to harass me?"

For Kosaka Kirino's reply, Hanyu was also full of black lines.

"It's okay, I'm off."

Looking at the other party's reply, Hanyu thought about it, feeling that it was a bit awkward to simply end the conversation. So after thinking about it, I prepared to ask Sagiri about Kosaka Kirino.

"I want to consult you about something."

"Oh? It's my sister's business again? When will your novel be finished. I have been waiting for a long time."

"The story of the novel has been drafted, but it is not very satisfactory, so it is under revision."

"Oh, can you show me the first draft?"

"No!" Hanyu resolutely refused to see who Kosaka Kirino wants to see his "love letter" written to Sagiri.

"Stingy. But what do you want to consult?"

"That~lightnovelpub.net~ If a girl likes to read novels like "The Mother of God", do you think she will?"

"I definitely like girls!!!" Through three exclamation points, Hanyu seemed to be able to feel Kosaka Kirino's resolute and positive attitude, and Hanyu became more worried about Sagiri.

"By the way, who is this girl who likes girls? Someone you know, right?"

"No, I asked casually." After several hidden incidents were discovered, Hanyu felt that girls had the potential to become famous detectives, so he refused to reveal too much.

"Hehe, I don't believe it."

"But, how are you doing? How are you doing?"

"That's it, please be a good girl in school, play games and quarrel with that guy when you get home."

Hanyu understood that the guy in Kosaka Kirino's mouth was referring to a black cat, and he couldn't help but feel his heart moved, wondering if Kosaka Kirino knew about the other party's writing a novel.
