GF publishing company is one of the top three Japanese light novel publishing companies in the world.
And Toki Kenjiro is a senior editor at GF publishing company.
Not a thousand but eight hundred submissions were reviewed by him, and his vision was very sophisticated.
He reviewed a piece called "Grand Journey" today, and his eyes lit up.
The potential of this novel is seen in his eyes.
What was depicted in the novel was only the tip of the iceberg of that world, and the differences between Heroic Spirits, Magecraft and Magus were also very interesting.
However, he couldn't miss this extraordinary work, Kenjiro was even willing to pay for the author's transportation fare out of his own pocket!
...
The next day, Kenjiro welcomes this young writer with great potential.
"I didn't expect Hyakki Sensei to be so young," exclaimed pKenjiro.
He thought it was a university student or something, but he didn't expect this one to look similar to a high school student.
"Shouldn't there be a rule at your publishing company that high school students can't submit manuscripts?" Ryuji asked with a smile.
In fact, high school students contributed the most, but what they wrote was not well known.
Not everyone is a genius like Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Of course not." Kenjiro smiled sincerely, and led Ryuji into the office.
"Do you have the original manuscript of the novel?"
"Of course." Ryuji took out the printed prologue.
This is the story of F's singularity. At that time, he only had Mash as a Servant.
It was a short but meaningful journey.
Kenjiro reads novels with pleasure, he is also a fan of light novels, because of that he can do this work.
Ryuji focuses on the adventure genre, which is considered a new genre in this love-filled world of light novels.
"Do characters in myths and legends turn into Heroic Spirits? It's quite an interesting arrangement." Kenjiro said with a smile.
Is there anything more exciting than meeting legendary heroes and creating new epic myths?
Ryuji smiled, it was only natural to get such a result.
"May I ask how many manuscripts you have?" Kenjirou asked.
There was a hint of respect in his tone, and he had never treated Ryuji as a normal high school student.
"Is a hundred thousand not enough?" Ryuji smiled.
One hundred thousand words was enough to be published as the first volume.
Kenjiro blushed, but he actually wanted to see the next episode.
"Cough cough." Kenjiro coughed and said seriously: "There's no doubt that your level is enough to make a debut. With my authority, I can win a circulation of at most 10,000 copies for novice writers."
Ryuji frowned, not too satisfied with this amount.
Kenjiro said with a smile: "Of course, given the superiority of your work, there will be a slight reduction in price if it is really released in 10,000 copies."
"I suggest that you participate in this year's Newcomer Light Novel Contest and make your debut as the winning work."
Ryuji thought for a while, there was no need to rush to publish light novels, and it was fine to use them to enter competitions.
"Can."
Kenjirou showed a warm smile, and extended his hand to Ryuji.
"Well then, happy cooperation."
...
The light novel contest is run by GF Bunko, and both debut and novice writers can participate.
In this year's light novel competition, one work shone brilliantly and won the newcomer award with absolute excellence.
Its name is "Grand Journey".
Epic about heroes and people.
Many people have never doubted that if this light novel is brought to the debut group, this year's 'This light novel is very good' award should be replaced.
"Fou is so cute!"
"Reading this book made my blood boil. I also want to fight side by side with heroes!"
"This is a great light novel!"
There was a wave of craze on the Internet, and some people started picking up the author's news.
However, due to deliberate concealment, people on the Internet only know Hyakki's pseudonym.
In the end, "Grand Journey" was published with the light novel newcomer award, and the first printing was 100,000 copies.
Kenjiro's face was bright red, he had been bringing in newcomers for so many years, and never before had anyone debuted with a record of 100,000 copies. He seemed to have seen a new star in the world of light novels.
"Hey, Hyakki Sensei, there's a reception at this publishing company..."
Kenjiro was hanged before he could finish speaking, and the seasoned editor smiled wryly.
This is a character writer.
"Grand Journey" is very popular, and major bookstore stocks have sold out.
Somewhere in Kanagawa Prefecture, a girl crouched at home interested in the contents of the book in her hand.
The protagonist is obviously fine even if the world is destroyed, but because of the girl's small request, he sets out on a journey to save the world!
This is the perfect prince for any girl!
