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

However, the enemy raised his head and shouted urgently, "Save me!" to Liuli who had drawn her long sword.

This is the beginning of a tragic love story between two people from different camps.

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!

It hurts! It hurts so much! Li Nian felt goose bumps all over her body from the pain!

His expression became strange.

Putting aside the protagonist Liuli's name, which is very worthy of complaints, he also knows that the exorcist has always been a mysterious profession that people in society talk about with relish. It has also become a popular subject in novels, games, movies and other industries. It is often regarded as a setting where the protagonist has a special profession. Up to this point, it is understandable.

But what about the other elements? The heroine? The fallen angel? The tragic love? When these elements are connected, Li Nian seems to smell a strong Mary Sue flavor.

This may be a bit biased, but he did have a very ominous premonition at this time.

At this time, Wu Geng was walking in from outside the classroom. She deliberately stood up and left the classroom, obviously just wanting to say those words to Li Nian. She seemed to have gone to the toilet to pretend to be natural. When she came back, she just saw Li Nian already bending over her book. She paused, and her heart suddenly became extremely nervous.

But she didn't show it. She pretended to be calm and went back to sit next to Li Nian. She also controlled her eyes and didn't look at him. She glanced elsewhere, propped up her chin and acted as if she didn't care and sat upright in her seat.

Over there, Li Nian read the introduction and couldn't help wanting to complain, but he forced himself to suppress it and decided not to complain in the end.

It seems that most novels for girls are of this style.

He still took the initiative to talk to Wu Geng and decided to ask Wu Geng some questions before officially starting to read the content.

"Well, I mean, Gogen-san."

"Yeah." Wu Geng supported his chin and looked at the big tree outside the window, pretending to enjoy the scenery.

Li Nian could tell at a glance that she was pretending. She was a little speechless and decided not to point it out. She continued to ask.

"Before reading this masterpiece, I would like to ask you two questions."

"You ask."

“What are your expectations for yourself?”

"..."

Wu Geng turned around and Li Nian looked at her seriously, using questions to supplement the questions.

"Are you writing for fun? Or do you really want to develop your career?"

Wu Geng didn't expect Li Nian to ask such a question. It sounded extremely serious. She opened her mouth, but was confused and didn't know how to answer. Looking at her expression, Li Nian realized that her question was a bit too serious.

For high school students, this question may be a little too early.

"No, forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Li Nian laughed at himself and passed it off perfunctorily. He lowered his head to look at the book in front of him and was about to open the first page.

His expression was so serious and focused, just like when he was looking at his own black "study material" before.

Wu Geng felt a sense of importance, an unprecedented experience. She vaguely realized the meaning behind Li Nian's question, hesitated for a moment, and then answered like this.

"...At least, I don't just write for fun."

Li Nian looked up at her, a little surprised.

Then he lowered his eyes, as if thinking for a while, and Li Nian smiled again.

"Ok, I understand. Needless to say, I will take a closer look, and then..."

He stopped smiling.

"Since you are so determined to make progress, I can ask you a second question."

"what?"

“Can you take criticism?”

Wu Geng was stunned, but felt a little happy instead.

It is exactly what she needs and what Wu Geng hopes to get from Li Nian that her work is seriously observed by outsiders and useful opinions are put forward.

Although he was happy, Wu Geng still had an expression of not admitting defeat. He crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly.

"Humph, what nonsense! With my generosity, I can humbly accept any criticism."

"You said it yourself, so it better turn out that way."

They had forgotten the so-called confidentiality principle during their conversation. Although Kato glanced at their faces, he was still passively eavesdropping on their conversation. At this time, he had already heard some clues. He thought that the black books on the table were all written by Wu Geng classmate? He was a little curious and couldn't help but glance at the website registration.

Li Nian didn't pay attention to his surroundings. After receiving Wu Geng's reply, he had roughly understood Wu Geng's attitude towards writing and what she expected of him.

He looked down at the book on the table and sighed again.

The introduction has already revealed part of the content, although it is obviously not the type I like...

“We must start by putting aside our prejudices.”

Under Wugeng's somewhat nervous gaze, Li Nian turned to the first page of the manuscript written by the girl and began to read.

Chapter 77 The Problem

Although Wu Geng's work has perfectly exposed Li Nian's shortcomings in various senses since its inception, with his ability to adjust his mentality, he was still able to abandon prejudice and look at things objectively.

——Anyway, he didn’t think from the beginning that Wu Geng could write a good work.

Although this idea is a bit excessive and seems a bit contemptuous, for Li Nian, it is the inevitable conclusion drawn from experience.

Of course, there are indeed high school students in this world who can write excellent works. Li Nian has encountered a specific example at Xia Shizi's book signing event, but Li Nian does not expect Wu Geng to reach that level. This is not only because of her high school age, but more because Li Nian can see that she is obviously still at the stage of "writing for fun."

One very obvious characteristic is that he will hide what he writes and dare not show it to others.

This shows that she is not confident.

Moreover, it also shows that she has not yet clearly understood the most basic truth, which is that writing has always been based on the readers. If you don't desperately seek feedback, you can't make progress.

When it comes to writing, the principle of "getting stronger with accumulation" is basically followed, but for individuals, there will be differences in the speed of growth, which cannot be simply summarized by the word "talent". The essence of this process is the maturity of thinking patterns, and the subtleties are closer to "thinking through" than "understanding", and the girl obviously has not grasped some key points.

But Wu Geng had already made her attitude clear, indicating that she was not just writing for fun, but had the idea of ​​moving forward and her expectations for the words she had spent so much effort on. Li Nian, who had received this, had decided to carefully review her manuscript regardless of its quality. Just as he had promised.

Li Nian began to read the book seriously, and from the first page of the essay collection, he became silent.

Although Wu Geng tried his best to pretend that he didn't care, he couldn't help but secretly glance at this person out of the corner of his eye.

But Li Nian seemed unaware, his eyes wandering across the paper, appearing to be focused, and his occasional movements were just turning the page.

Wu Geng felt that he was not reading slowly, but at least he was not skimming through the lines. It seemed like he was reading a book normally. The girl couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she came to this conclusion.

But she soon saw Li Nian gradually frowning, and her heart began to lift again.

Wu Geng realized that Li Nian didn't seem to be feeling well.

That’s right, what I wrote was quite boring. Wu Geng couldn’t help but think so, feeling a little frustrated and lost.

She actually understands that a book that fails to please readers is a failure.

Wu Geng guessed Li Nian's impression of the reading correctly, and he did not feel very good about it. But everything was as he expected, so he did not just abandon the book and give up halfway, but just continued reading.

Li Nian didn't listen to what the teacher was saying on the stage. He was reading the manuscript all the time. It was not until the morning meeting and the first class were halfway through that he finished reading the first book, closed it, and put it down.

Wu Geng noticed it immediately and wanted to talk to him, but Li Nian didn't even look at her and continued to pick up the second book and open it. The girl was anxious and had to shut up and continue waiting.

After Li Nian opened the second book, he took out a pen and paper and wrote on the paper while reading, as if he was recording something. This slowed down his reading speed a bit. However, the second book was slightly thinner than the first one, so he still finished it when most of the second class was over.

Not surprisingly, at the end of the second book, the whole story comes to an end, with the heroine killing the hero. The book ends, and just as the introduction says, it is a tragic ending.

Li Nian flipped open the third and last book and took a look, thinking it would be a supplementary story of a spin-off, but it turned out that the third book was a pure collection of settings. Li Nian took a quick look at it, and the bell for the end of get out of class rang. Taking this as an opportunity, he sighed tiredly, not wanting to read any further, and decided to stop there, take a short rest, and reached out to rub the bridge of his nose.

Wu Geng's voice came from the side.

"How does it feel?"

"…Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"You don't seem to think it's that good."

Li Nian turned her head and met Wu Geng's gaze, who was looking at her coldly. She knew that Wu Geng had already gotten the answer and was a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Li Nian couldn't help but smile.

"Who just said that with their generosity, they can accept any criticism? Besides, I haven't said anything yet, right?"

"I haven't said anything yet." Wu Geng turned his head away.

"Well, at least you don't have any unfounded mysterious confidence, which is good. So overall, let me give you a score first."

Hearing that Li Nian was going to give a final evaluation, Wu Geng turned around. Li Nian did not hesitate and directly showed her four fingers.

"Out of a hundred, I'll give you 40."

"...Where do you get the confidence to give me such a low score?"

Wu Geng was obviously very unhappy with the evaluation that was not even passing, so unhappy that he was about to explode.

"I want to make it clear that this is not my prejudice. I can tell you responsibly that I gave you a score from the perspective of a reader. I only gave you a feeling score. If a professional judge gave you a score, they would deduct more technical points from you."

Li Nian did not back down and continued speaking with a smile.

This was further derogation, and Gogen became increasingly annoyed, but thinking about the promise he had made before, he managed to hold it back and asked in a nasty tone.

"What's the basis?"

"I told you not to be angry."

“…I’m not angry.”

"you promise?"

"……I promise."

"Then I said it."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Wu Geng was getting impatient.

"Then I'll tell you." Li Nian cleared his throat: "Your pace is slow, the plot is boring, the characters are thin, the descriptions are stiff, the connotations are pretentious, to be honest, there is nothing decent about it..."

Swish, a dictionary comes flying towards me!

Li Nian reached out and caught the spine of the book steadily, then placed the dictionary on the table. He looked at the angry girl opposite him, felt her strong murderous aura, and shrugged helplessly.

"See, I told you you'd be mad."

"You, you..." Wu Geng was so angry that he couldn't say anything.

Li Nian knew that what she said was a bit too much.

In fact, this exaggerated statement was also a test to see if Wu Geng can really withstand criticism, but it seems to have failed.

"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously..."

After hearing Li Nian say it was a joke, Wu Geng calmed down a little and Li Nian handed over the dictionary.

"Don't use it to hit people again. It could kill them."

Wu Geng snorted coldly, snatched the dictionary and weighed it in his hand.

"...That depends on whether someone will make such a boring joke again."

Li Nian smiled indifferently, his face became serious and he changed the subject.

"Although the facts are not as extreme as I said, the problems with your manuscript do exist in all the aspects I mentioned."

Chapter 78: The Stubborn Person

Wu Geng raised the dictionary without saying a word.

Li Nian pretended not to notice this threatening action and continued speaking nonchalantly.

"Basically all the problems of books can be attributed to those aspects. Conversely, their shining points can also be reflected in these aspects. But to be honest, your book has only a basic description and the main plot of the opposing camps loving and wanting to kill each other creates some conflicts and highlights. Apart from that, there is no other highlight. I think even if your content does not touch anyone's poison point, no one will like this book."

His calm voice made the extremely vicious comment, which was a further explanation of his previous "joke" and seemed even more direct and excessive.

"...!"

The work she had spent so much effort on writing was belittled to the point of being worthless. To Wu Geng, every word Li Nian said was like a sharp knife piercing her heart. She was so angry that her body was shaking and she gritted her teeth. She was extremely angry and was gradually approaching the brink of a violent outburst.

How could I be so stupid as to ask this person to help check the manuscript?

She stared at Li Nian's face, trying to find an angle to swing the dictionary and smash the hateful man's facial features.
