There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

Progress is something that will move towards completion as you advance day by day.

The daily tasks that Li Nian arranged for himself were of a quantity that could be completed quickly under the premise of smooth progress, not the kind of arrangement that could just barely meet the deadline. This allowed him to complete his own novel and club game script projects quickly, and both the editor-in-chief Ms. Machida and the producer Aki could give him a good explanation.

But it's not just them that need to be explained, there's also Wu Geng.

Li Nian started reading Wu Geng's novel as planned after completing the writing task. While reading it through for the first time, she was thinking about how to guide Wu Geng to become a truly outstanding writer.

He always felt that Gogen was just like his former self.

This girl usually has a cold face in front of her classmates, and seems to be aloof and has no interest in anything.

But actually he is a repressed person, secretly a very immature person, immersed in his own world, with his mind full of strange plots about gods, saints, demons, angels, etc. He can be seen going out wearing cosplay clothes on weekdays and loves novels and animations.

It is normal for such people to have a strong desire to express themselves and like to write novels.

What is different from others is that she persisted. Even if her writing was a mess, she was criticized and did not get the recognition she wanted, she still never gave up her enthusiasm and did not change her habit of working hard on writing.

Wasn’t it the same for me in the past… in high school?

Well... although I can't be as childish as Gogen, in my daily life, I am full of classic anime quotes and I can wear cosplay costumes on the street.

But in terms of being introverted and immature... and always writing crappy books that no one reads, Li Nian feels that she used to be very similar to Wu Geng.

Li Nian became a third-rate author in the future, who could write third-rate stories that were acceptable to some people. But he was reborn here, sorted out his past self with a clear mind, and found the core skills of writing. Although he may not have become a famous writer yet, he can already write good stories that his friends will rave about.

Li Nian believes that she can become a role model for Wu Geng and share her many experiences with Wu Geng, helping her, who aspires to become a writer, to avoid detours and find the right path.

He believes that his own growth path can be Wu Geng’s growth path.

Therefore, from my own experience, I also roughly understand how many ups and downs there are for Wu Geng to truly become a talent...

But Li Nian really always believed that these were not a problem for Wu Geng.

On the way to climb the mountain, those who fall behind are often not those who lack ability, but those who are mentally weak.

It’s not that they don’t have the strength to go on, but that they have lost their passion, forgotten their original intentions, cannot see immediate rewards, become afraid of suffering, afraid of pain, tired and exhausted, and no longer want to continue working hard, so they decide to stop and give up halfway.

Li Nian was once one of them.

He was hit hard by the hardships in reality, and his mentality plummeted. He became anxious and irritable, his mind was wandering, his thoughts were pessimistic, and he could no longer love the things he loved. He gave up writing and was depressed for a long time. It was not easy for him to pick himself up and start again.

In this regard, Li Nian knows that Wu Geng is still different from his past self.

She is more tenacious, more hardworking, and more unforgettable than myself.

Li Nian's brain was working fast. He quickly and carefully browsed through Wu Geng's works on his mobile phone. After reading every word, he sat down in front of the computer again, opened the word file of Wu Geng's novel, and began to mark and annotate the places where problems had been found. It felt that there were more problems than expected. Things that could have been done quickly might take a long time. He muttered to himself.

"So, Gogen, you will be able to face the difficulties that are coming better than I did back then, right?"

……

……

morning.

Wu Geng, who was a little insomniac, came to school with trepidation.

She usually stayed up a little late to write, but now that she had finished the manuscript, she could take a break. She wanted to have a good rest, but her mind was still thinking about her novel and she was still very excited. She simply read through her finished novel again, which led to some insomnia.

Before the fifth update, I @ed all members and asked them to help read and give their opinions.

The focus is of course on Kasumigaoka and Li Nian.

Li Nian gave a reply at that time, and he probably had read his manuscript in the evening.

Senior Kasumigaoka didn’t see the message until very late and replied.

"I know, I'll read it carefully, but as you can see, I've just finished writing the game script, and a boy insisted that I couldn't sleep, so I had to give in to him. He asked me to take some time to read it during the day tomorrow, and give me a reply later, okay?"

Anyway, I will watch it today, and I haven’t watched it yet.

But she knew that Li Nian would definitely finish reading it, and then when he came to study this morning, he threw the manuscript with a large red mark to himself, just like he threw the revised draft of the script outline to senior sister Kasumigaoka.

Li Nian said that her manuscript was still far from complete and would have to undergo very rigorous revisions before it could reach the publishing standards. Wu Geng herself was also self-aware and it was estimated that in the eyes of such great authors as Kasumigaoka and Li Nian, this manuscript must have many shortcomings.

Gogen still remembers the harsh comments that Yukinoshita from the Service Club gave to his work after reading it. He remembers the feeling of having his work criticized to the point of being worthless. At that time, Yukinoshita read it carefully and gave extremely detailed suggestions for revisions.

I have read those revision suggestions carefully...but to be honest, even if I understand the meaning of the suggestions, I don’t know how to make changes.

After that, under Li Nian's guidance, her work was fundamentally overturned. She made a new outline with Li Nian and rewrote it until it was completed yesterday. She felt that she had made some progress. After finishing it, she read it through herself and felt that it was much better than before.

But when she thought that it would definitely be unsightly in the eyes of that guy, and that he would probably give a more stringent evaluation and modification suggestions than Yukinoshita, she felt a little panicked. At the moment, she was uneasy, waiting for Li Nian to give the modification suggestions. She felt as if she had done something wrong and was waiting to be judged.

It’s time to come... Wu Geng thought to himself, Li Nian always comes to school at this time, Wu Geng has gotten used to it.

Sure enough, Li Nian arrived at the classroom on time and appeared at the door.

As if she hadn't slept well, Li Nian walked in tiredly, casually responded to the greetings of Ye Shan and Yuigahama, and then walked directly to Wu Geng, threw her a thick document, sat in her seat, rubbed her nose, and said

"Be prepared. Some of you will be in great pain these days so you can change them."

Chapter 436: Comments on the Revision (Very Thick)

Wu lowered his head to look at the thick stack of information thrown in front of him.

I knew that these were the revision suggestions Li Nian gave after reading the original manuscript of my novel.

Looking at the manuscript that is nearly twice as thick as the original, one can understand what Li Nian meant by saying that she needs to be prepared to revise it to the point of excruciating pain.

But before that, Wu Geng was thinking about what kind of night Li Nian had spent after completing such a document containing countless revision suggestions.

So she raised her eyes and looked at the boy over there. Li Nian was frowning and pinching his eyebrows, obviously very tired.

It's rare to see this guy looking so tired in the morning, as if he hasn't woken up yet.

He usually has this expression in the afternoon.

Now Wu Geng knew that it was a kind of fatigue that Li Nian felt after doing some kind of spiritual practice. He knew that the wordless black book that Li Nian often read was probably a very special "magical device (Wu Geng's self-proclaimed name)". It seemed to have no words, but it actually recorded endless knowledge... In short, Li Nian would only feel tired after spending a lot of his energy.

And since he looked tired on such a refreshing morning, it meant that he had put a lot of thought into revising his manuscript.

"Didn't you sleep?" Wu Geng asked Li Nian first.

"Oh, yes."

"...You didn't allow Kasumigaoka-senpai to stay up late, and now you're setting a bad example?"

"Who do you think is to blame for this?" Li Nian smacked his lips and said in disgust, "I can't help it. At first glance, there are too many problems with someone's manuscript. It's impossible to revise it in one night."

Li Nian originally wanted to make Wu Geng angry, but the child remained silent for a while, then said honestly, "I'm sorry."

This made Li Nian stunned. He scratched his head, knowing that his tired expression was seen by her, which made him feel guilty. So he stopped showing his tiredness and regained his calm expression.

"But I'm such a smart person, I can scan it at a glance and make the changes in a short time. It doesn't take much effort."

"You're lying. Do you think I'm stupid? You just said you changed it overnight."

As a result, it seems a little too late to be brave now. Wu Geng saw through Li Nian's pretense at a glance and was not fooled by him.

Li Nian suddenly didn't know what to say.

Wu Geng didn't say anything awkward like apology, he just smiled.

"Thanks."

Li Nian was stunned by the look, because it was a rare and gentle smile from such a weird guy, it was really cute.

It would have been fine if she had just scolded herself, but now that she was honestly thanking and apologizing, Li Nian felt really uncomfortable.

"…Be normal, I'm scared."

"…What kind of person do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who is ungrateful and can't even say thank you when someone helps me?" Wu Geng said unhappily, "I see. You are a masochist and you feel uncomfortable when someone thanks you. Then I will thank you for nothing next time."

"Oh! That's right." Li Nian felt that this was just right and nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Geng looked at him with disdain, then opened the manuscript paper in front of him. The first page was full of shocking red words, which made Wu Geng gasp and frown, knowing that the red-marked words were all revision-related content. He turned a few pages later and saw a similar situation.

This made her feel very disappointed. She thought that Li Nian was just like Yukinoshita in the past. She was very disappointed in her. After reading her work, she felt it was completely rotten, so she asked her to revise it.

“Is what I wrote really that bad…?”

"No." Li Nian categorically denied her self-pity: "Overall, it's actually OK, it's acceptable."

Kato came to school, and he was also yawning. It seemed that he didn't sleep well. He was really led astray by a bunch of night owls and learned late-night entertainment...

At this time, he walked to her seat, greeted the two of them first, and when he saw Wu Geng, he smiled and said to Wu Geng happily.

"Wugeng classmate, I've finished reading your novel! I think it's really interesting!"

Gogen was slightly startled and looked at her in disbelief, and saw a kind of heartfelt recognition in Kato's eyes.

At this time, An Yi shook off a few of his otaku friends at the other end of the classroom and came over.

Of course, he had already read Wu Geng's novel last night, and he said this to Wu Geng excitedly at this moment.

"Wu Geng is a kid who can do what he wants! He wrote a very interesting story, and it can be seen that it was carefully designed. I always say that people trained by An Nian can definitely come up with something good. Although both of you are about the subject of the devil and the hero, your story and An Nian's story feel completely different. It is a different kind of orthodox story. It is refreshing to read. You don't have to worry about being stabbed in the heart unexpectedly like reading Mr. Mu Zi's works... But there are also places that are warm and thoughtful! It is those places that reflect the feeling of careful design, and the style is suddenly several levels higher than other garbage articles of my ture type."

An Yi talked a lot like a bamboo tube pouring beans, just like when he first read Li Nian's novel, he discovered what a great writer his good friend was. Now he has read Wu Geng's new work... Oh no, it's a rewrite of his old work, and he feels like he has suddenly discovered a rough gem in the light novel industry.

In fact, An Yi also read Gogen's work last night with a critical eye. Although he scolded the shameless Sawamura, in fact, like his childhood sweetheart, he read Gogen's novel without any high expectations.

There is no way. With the excellent works of Li Nian and Kasumigaoka as references, An Yi doesn't think that Gogen can grow to the level of being on par with them in such a short period of time.

After all, the previous five updates were a bit...

But after actually reading Gogen's work, An Yi felt from the bottom of his heart that it was very good, and there was no need to compare it with those two, because it was not a similar work, but another common feeling of a refreshing novel, which was also pretty good.

Wu Geng found the recognition and praise from these two people incredible and she stared at them blankly.

"See, I told you, if you follow our outline, you will be able to write a decent story."

Li Nian's voice came from the side.

The reactions of the two "ordinary readers" were within Li Nian's expectations. They laughed out loud, which made Wu Geng come back to his senses and look at Li Nian.

Li Nian shook her phone at her again, and on it was a new message from the Line group, saying, "The tsundere blonde with twin ponytails has also expressed his opinion."

——I’m not a tsundere blonde with twin ponytails: “@千叶の堕天圣黑猫, humph, I read it reluctantly, and this time I can barely admit that what you wrote is acceptable, but don’t think that’s the end of it! You’re still a long way from making your debut! I’ve experienced the nitpicking of the client, and as someone who’s been through it, I’m telling you that you’d better honestly revise your work under that guy’s guidance, only then will it be possible to be published.”

Wugeng automatically translated the words about the tsundere blonde with twin ponytails, and this guy himself thought that his writing was okay.

Li Nian had made a prediction before, saying that Wu Geng would be able to write a pretty good story this time and get everyone's approval, but Wu Geng didn't really take it seriously.

Now that I have heard the high reviews from several readers who have read the work, I know that what Li Nian said is true.

If Kato had not read many books and was the type of reader who was not picky, her approval was not enough. However, Aki and Sawamura were old bookworms, and if a work could be praised by them, Gogen would think it was really something. Now that her own book was being evaluated like this, Gogen found it a little hard to believe, and asked Kato and Aki again.

"You really think it's okay? You're not lying to me, are you? I don't need that kind of comfort from a friend."

It can be seen that although Wu Geng always says that he can write a masterpiece, his works have never been praised by anyone in this way. He is just trying to show off. He has never been truly recognized by others, so he has never been truly confident.

"I really think it's quite interesting." Kato reiterated.

"I will never lie about my works." An Yi said seriously, "If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, it's bad. Even if it's a friend's work, I can't lie to myself and give an untrue evaluation. Knowing how to lie is not a good thing for you, classmate Wu Geng. So believe me, who has read countless books, it's really good."

"I told you that if you write the story according to the outline, there won't be any major problems." Li Nian yawned: "...This can be considered as a periodic feedback on your efforts. Can you feel your own growth from it?"

Wu was quite happy, but when he glanced at the materials in front of him that contained Li Nian's revision suggestions and listened to Li Nian's words emphasizing the importance of the outline, he calmed down and said, "Yes... I wrote much better than before... because I used the outline you gave me."

Li Nian does not deny that she played a big role in the game.

"It is an outline that I have worked out with you... but the content is mostly mine, with a small portion being yours. If you have proven that I am right and the effectiveness of my suggestions, then you will have to work harder to turn my stuff into your own techniques."

It was as if he was taking most of the credit for someone else's achievements. Kato frowned and said in defense of Gogen: "But, wasn't it Gogen-san himself who wrote this book in the end?"

Li Nian didn't say anything.

An Yi hesitated to speak.

It was Gogen himself who shook his head, denying Kato's statement.

"No, he's right. Most of the credit goes to him..."

The outline of the fifth chapter was finalized with the help of Li Nian.

So, under the guidance of the outline, the whole story has a clear direction, a plot with ups and downs, an ideological core of supporting peace and pursuing love, a more eye-catching beginning, a more fascinating middle, and a more thought-provoking ending. Overall, it has become a pretty good novel.

But the fact that it only became a fairly good novel shows the limits of Gogeng’s abilities.

It was a pity that such a good outline could only be written at this level in the end, Li Nian thought.

"Don't do that. If you really write a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages, I would be interested in taking credit for it. But with that kind of outline and this level of completion, to be honest, I don't think it's enough."

Li Nian speaks frankly.

"The lack of strength is one aspect. It is difficult to improve the writing skills, accumulation, and conception in a short time. But the more important reason is that your writing state is not right. After reading the whole book, it has been reflected in your writing state at the time. You performed very well in the early stage, and there were many places that made people shine. But in the middle stage, your level fluctuated greatly, sometimes good and sometimes bad. When it was bad, it seemed that you couldn't find the focus and couldn't broaden your thinking. The emotions and logic in the paragraphs were not accurate. I'm afraid you didn't get into the state when you were writing, and you felt a little bit like completing a task... Compared with the time in reality, you were indeed a little anxious at the time. Your state recovered in the later stage, but it was inevitable that you couldn't stop the decline. The quality of the whole work has declined."
