How could such a lazy and easily distracted person have such potential?

On the second weekend after the release of "Magic Sword Academy," which was also the beginning of the new school season in early September, in the Light Novel editorial department, Chen Yulan received an unbelievable news on the phone.

"What the hell! You're saying you finished writing the entire 150,000-word content of the second volume in just six days? Are you kidding me, Mo Shao? Are you dreaming?"

That's right!

Just a moment ago, she received a QQ call from Li Xiaoci, saying that she had finished writing the second volume's content...

And only took six days!

At that moment, Chen Yulan was completely dumbfounded.

That's 150,000 words, the entire volume's content, and Mo Shao wrote it in just six days?

Is it really not sixty days?

Is she really not hearing it wrong?

"Wow, you don't believe me! It's too disappointing!" Li Xiaoci replied with great sadness, almost stamping her feet.

"Can I trust you? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" Chen Yulan said.

"When did I ever disappoint you!"

"Except for your new book this time, when haven't you disappointed me?"

"..."

Li Xiaoci fell silent.

Damn it, can I really be blamed for the mistakes of my predecessor?

Then...

She whispered under her breath, "I can't believe she doubted me, a genius. You obviously have no intelligence and don't know how to hold onto a thigh."

"Did you say something just now?" Chen Yulan asked.

"N-nothing, I didn't say anything, really."

Then, Li Xiaoci sent the finished manuscript to Chen Yulan on her computer.

Since Chen Yulan didn't believe her, she could only prove her speed was really fast with facts. Without a doubt, she was a quick shooter.

On the other hand...

After Chen Yulan received the manuscript from Li Xiaoci, she glanced at the word count at the bottom of the Word document and was shocked to find out...

This guy actually finished writing the entire volume!

No!

This wasn't the Li Xiaoci I knew!

You must be a freak from somewhere else who took over the body of the original lazy author, right?

Otherwise!

How could such a twisted thing be possible?

Of course, no matter how shocked she was, Chen Yulan had to review the original draft sent by Li Xiaoci as a responsible editor. And this time, her review would be more serious and stricter than before.

After all, the updating speed of light novel writers is mostly slow, with only one volume released per month. The reasons are mainly due to the authors' procrastination and the need to find the best writing state to ensure quality, which is impossible to maintain every day.

From the editor's experience, most light novel writers who write quickly have poor story quality.In other words, they filled their plot with a lot of fluff, and once the editor asked them to cut out the unnecessary parts, the word count would drop by half.

Moreover, Mo Shao finished one volume in just six days this time...

Chen Yulan was very skeptical. Was teacher Mo experiencing the feeling of being a best-selling author for the first time, causing her ego to inflate and start writing recklessly according to her mood? Drifting away from the main plot, allowing her to write a volume in just six days?

Regardless of whether or not she had drifted off in her writing, Chen Yulan could tell that she was feeling very cocky at the moment.

And...

She was not just a little bit cocky, her pride was over-the-top and beyond acceptable!!

She felt like Li Xiaoci was only one step away from grabbing a megaphone and shouting in the street, "The great author's new book has sold 160,000 copies in the first release, do you dare to challenge it, come and worship me now!"

For this kind of mentality...

Chen Yulan absolutely had to nip it in the bud!

If a light novel writer falls into this inflated mindset, they are really done for.

Take for example Mo Shao's debut work "Reverse Legend".

Why did it turn into a ntr story?

It was because she herself was praised by readers on the forum, and suddenly she was full of herself.

Even Fujihara Takumi couldn't match her.

Then, laziness erupted, procrastinating all the way to the deadline.

After that, she had another brain fart, thinking she was already a young female literary master of the younger generation, and coupled with her pretentiousness, she came up with a ntr plot.

As an editor, Chen Yulan should have made her change the cuck plot.

But...

It was already the last day before the deadline, and if she had to change the ntr plot, the entire manuscript would have to be extensively revised, and one day was simply not enough. Moreover, the promotion work for the new work had already been done and everything was in place.

So, Chen Yulan gritted her teeth!

Just release it.

Maybe it will become the first green hat pioneer in the light novel industry, right?

You only live once!...

And then!

The sales didn't disappoint... they crashed and burned.

Along with the sales, the reputation of the book also plummeted, from the summit of Mount Everest to the depths of the Mariana Trench.

Now, Chen Yulan looked at the second volume of "Magic Sword Academy" and suddenly remembered the nightmare of the past. She couldn't let the overconfident Li Xiaoci ruin her new work again!

How could anyone produce quality work when they release a new volume every six days, with five volumes in a month?

"You're just fooling around," Chen muttered. "As an editor, I can't let my performance be dragged down with yours. Li Xiaoci, if you cause any more trouble, I swear I'll fight you!"

Thinking this, Chen Yulan looked exhausted yet determined as she began to read the second volume of "Magic Sword Academy" word for word.

This time, if you dare to write something that doesn't make sense, hmph...

I'll smash your head in!

I'll break your legs!

I'll flatten your chest!

Until you go back and rewrite it!!

However, as Chen Yulan began to read, she was surprised to find that the quality of the second volume was nothing like she had imagined.

No, it wasn't just a little different. It was completely opposite!

She had expected to read a self-indulgent work that was poorly written like "Green Hat," a book that had a plot so outrageous it was laughable.

But, it seemed like the second volume of "Magic Sword Academy" was actually much better than she had thought.

Aside from the interesting plot, there were many funny interactions between characters like the tsundere Sophia and the plain Jane Hoshino Junxia. The two new female characters had a charming contrast, making readers smile.

What's more, the writing style had improved a lot since the first volume. It was more humorous, and the pacing was much better.

Even Chen Yulan, who didn't like harem novels, could feel the author's impressive writing skills in this volume.

This wasn't some rushed and cheaply made work. It was a masterpiece that even Chen Yulan had to admit was impressive!

Chen Yulan was stunned by the sudden change in the author's abilities. How could such a lazy and easily distracted person have such potential? Why hadn't she seen it before?
