Good afternoon, my friends! Welcome to “My Tucao”! As the name suggests, this column is my introduction and spit on some of the recent hot news. At the same time, I will also raise some topics to discuss with everyone. Want to know what happened in the ACG world recently? Want to know the most popular stalk of the second yuan? Let us take a look!
As mentioned in the light novel, different A Houses will have different reactions. Nowadays, the works of the routines are in the way, and the adaptation of the animation is still going on. As long as the author of the light novel considers taking a very long title, anyway, the content is follow-up. It is enough to paint the papermaker (mainly practical). It’s not a day or two to say “buy illustrations to send toilet paper”. It’s not surprising that the works that have been filled with the aristocracy are disgusted. On the other hand, light novels, like the “light” in the name, basically have no threshold. A home to buy back to see a picture of a cool, this is also the reason why the different world Dragon Aotian became a bad street routine. Of course, not all light novels are “toilet papers”. The plots and writings of some works don’t even lose the general novels. Then there is no way to save the bad money to drive out the good money industry?
Let’s first take a look at the editors of the gates. The Housewife Friendship Society has set up the HERO library since September 29, 2012. It mainly publishes the work of “becoming a novelist”. By May 2016, the sales volume reached 450,000 copies, which can be said to be 100% reprint rate. In July 2017, the library first played two TV series “Knight & Magic” and “Different World Cafeteria”. But since 2014, there is only one person who is responsible for the work of Takarazuka Hideki, and is not a full-time job. The editor’s workload is 87 works a year, and recently Japanese media interviewed him
Takashi Hideki was responsible for 63 light novels from HERO Library in 2017 and was responsible for 24 novels of the new project “Prime Novels”. In other words, he is responsible for 87 novels a year. He said that he had heard that other publishers were responsible for 60 novels a year, but 87 may be the most. At present, the HERO library and Prime Novels adopt a two-person system, which is the responsibility of the high-altitude show trees and assistants. Of the 87 novels published in 2017, six were edited by assistants and the head of Akira Hideki was the director. That is to say, all of them are processed through the highland show trees. As a giant in the industry, the Kadokawa Electric Shock Library publishes 150 light novels a year. Although the number of housewives’ friendships is relatively small, it is an extreme example that all works are handled by one person
Takahashi Hideki has 50 books in charge of light novels in 2016, and new projects started in 2017, and his work is also greatly increased. His current schedule is to get up at 5 am on weekdays, read the manuscript at home or in the cafe, and then work at the company. Communicate with the author in the evening and sleep at 12 o’clock in the evening. In order to keep his mind awake, he puts the important work in the morning, does not attend the extra meetings, does not make extra calls, and can solve the problem with SMS. For the sake of health, he will try to stay away from stress, and the same brand will be used for daily necessities to shorten the time of selection. And jog for 30 minutes a day, live a regular life
In addition to editing, some of the author’s own characters have problems. In 2010, the electric shock library was published, and Aikawa’s book “I and She is the Devil and the Brave and the President of the Student” was forced to be recycled by the publishing house for copying the FAMI Tong Library’s “Stupid Test Summoning Beast”. The work was also selected as the final candidate for the 16th Electric Shock Novel Award, and the judges and publishers were questioned by the outside world. Originally, I thought that the writer’s life would be finished because of this plagiarism. I didn’t expect to re-debut on the shock library several years later. The “Wolf and Spices” of the frozen silo was published by the electric shock library. In 2013, he was escorted by the same person in the 2ch, and colluded with the same company, Sugiyuki, to smash the bridge. The author of “Unlimited Stratos” bowed the singer in Twitter and the 12th volume, both insulting speech and readers. Still, because he is a bestselling author, he can continue his career as a writer. Some editors said that the publishing house believes in the principle of business supremacy. As long as the works are interesting and popular, they will not care what the writer is. But if the book is not selling well, then it is another matter
Japanese netizens have expressed their opinions: “This is just the tip of the iceberg. It should be said that there are very few adults with social common sense in the animation and light novel industry.” “When it comes to the black history of the author of the light novel, I still remember the author of the “Kino Tour” Do you speak right now?” “There is a lot of black history.” “There is no author of a light novel in this world.” “Many light novel authors give the impression of scum.” “The Stupid Test Summoning Beast” The author’s black history is very famous.” “Many of the light novel authors died prematurely, surpassing superficial life, because superficial speech caused condemnation, written superficial novels were attacked, and finally ended a short and superficial life.”
Due to the increasing influence of light novels in recent years, especially the website of “becoming a light novelist” has greatly lowered the threshold of creation, many people may have devoted themselves to the creation of light novels. Recently, Japanese netizens broke the news: In fact, many authors are actually retired grandfathers!
As you can see from the Twitter screenshot, this netizen learned about this situation from a friend who works in the publishing house. Nowadays, many of the authors who signed up for the Newcomer Awards are old grandfathers after retirement, and the content they create is often a few days when the office workers who did not have a good start suddenly achieved a major reversal in their work. As a result, others not only let others go. Also found a young newcomer to be a lover. After the tweet was issued, it quickly received more than 20,000 praises. Many Japanese netizens commented: “These grandfathers are still very energetic after retirement…” “In fact, if the writing is good, it seems that such a work is worth seeing?” “In fact, the age of many homes has changed. Big, maybe 10 years later, the light novels that office workers are looking for lovers are animated (wry smiles).”
In this case, some novelists want to draw a line with the light novel. After all, the industry is now a mixed bag, and it has long been a golden age of works such as “The Palace of Haruhi Suzumiya” and “Wolf and Spices”. Japanese novelist and monster researcher Kyoko Natsuhiko’s masterpieces include the series “Hundred Ghosts Night” and “The Lanes and One Story” series. Recently, he mentioned the problem of light novels in the novel lectures, although the definition of light novels is very vague. But “Light Novel” is not the same as “RANOBE”. Jingji Xia Yan said in the lecture that although RINOBE is the Japanese abbreviation of Light Novel, many people have confused ROUSBE with Light Novel. In fact, it is light literature. Some people think that light literature is a reading for young people. In fact, readers of light literature are now uncles. These fixed readers are already old. Some people think that it is wrong to have a cute painting in light literature. Light literature has been popular for some time, but now it has fallen into a situation where nothing can be done. The title is not long, so the reader should know what the content is at a glance
On the other hand, light novels are a larger category, a new term in the 1990s. And its variety has always existed, and there are possibilities for diversification. Although the definition is vague, it should be defined as a novel for young people. The system and form of light literature and light novels are very different. Light novels are easier to acquire new readers, so they will not disappear. Japanese netizens have expressed their opinions: “Light literature is not a light novel, and I deeply resonate with it.” “I can understand that light literature will disappear and light novels will not disappear.” I like light novels. But I don’t like to read light literature.” “I think the definition of Senbo is the most appropriate and favorite. There is a light novel in the official setting of business.” “Light literature shock library, light novel Jiao Kuanyi library.”
So where is the difference between a light novel and a general novel? Japanese netizens also discussed: “It seems that many works are included in the category of “light novels”. But now I don’t understand the difference between light novels and ordinary novels. If it is a light novel. With illustrations, isn’t it normal to have illustrations in ordinary novels? If the style of the illustrations is more biased towards the cuteness, it can be considered a “light novel”, and if the style does not appear to be cute, it belongs to Ordinary novels? Who can give me a clear answer?” “The style of painting is indeed a very important point. If it is a novel we usually see, we first care about “content” rather than “painting style.” When I buy the novel of Haruki Murakami, I may not care what the character in the novel looks like. In the case of a light novel, the cover must first attract me. Therefore, the role of the light novel tends to appear more than the content. More important. However, I feel that many ordinary novels have begun to attract readers with beautiful styles in recent years.”
“Look at the style of writing. I don’t know if you have seen the so-called “pure literature” works. Every sentence inside is very long and takes a long time to read. The light novels will have more comparisons. More simple conversations, even some modal particles will occupy a lot of space, which is more attractive to young people, so I think that the light novel is ultimately the theme of “easy reading”. “I think light The difference between novels and ordinary novels lies in the “audience.” After all, many light novels are purchased by junior high school to college age readers, so the subject matter of the works must be more secondary and fantasy, which is also a strange world theme. Popular reasons. Ordinary novels may be more focused on “realism.” Even fictional works at least give people the feeling that things happen in reality. Of course, this is not absolute.”
“The biggest difference between the two is “is it suitable for adaptation to animation?” I think this is very important. Now open a light novel, you will find that the attributes of many characters are set from the beginning. Well, and to give readers a clear view of the world, it is very easy to adapt the animation. In comparison, ordinary novels are very difficult to adapt animation. Even if the works are completely restored, the audience will have a strong violation. Sense. So far, I have not seen a few successful examples of the adaptation of ordinary novels.” “As far as I observe, different types of novels have a big difference in writing techniques. For example, it is also because of the explosion behind them. Surprised, the ordinary novel may be “a huge explosion came from behind, I turned back to surprise”; the mobile phone novel is “Boom!” I went back to it; the light novel was “Because of the huge explosion coming from behind, I couldn’t help but feel that I was involved in the trouble again. I went back and confirmed the situation, thinking that I haven’t Eating Chinese food is a matter of indifference. Light novels are very embarrassing in describing the hero’s inner activities, and ordinary novels and mobile novels will focus more on emphasizing what is happening now. In addition, as the upstairs said, the light novels are from It was originally created to adapt the animation, so the character style will also be biased towards handsome or cute.”
“Although not absolute, I think that education is the main reason leading to the boundary between general novels and light novels. After all, those who have become novelists in the past are at least famous universities and have rich experience in life. The threshold for creating novels is very low. Some people who have never been to college can write them casually. There is a big difference in writing.” “It is a general novel that can be published in a textbook. Others I think can be considered light. The novel (laughs). In fact, there is no clear boundary in this respect. As long as the publisher thinks that a work is a light novel, then it can be sold according to the light novel, and vice versa.
