Reactions from all sides!

In any case, there weren't any major issues with the outline of "Tiger and Dragon". Therefore, Chen Yulan ultimately approved it.

However, Chen Yulan couldn't help but feel sorry for the readers of "Magic Sword Academy". Li Xiaoci's updates were already difficult to come by, and she needed to be locked up in a small dark room to be forced to produce them. Now... she's started a new project! She's afraid it might anger old readers to death.

Li Xiaoci quickly announced her plans to write a new book on Weibo.

And then...

"What the hell? A new book? What about "Magic Sword Academy"?"

"Refuse to read the new book and demand an update on the fourth volume of "Magic Sword Academy"."

"Everyone, don't buy this new book! Once it doesn't sell well, she'll go back to writing the fourth volume!"

"Magical Young Master Thief, give me back my wife! I don't want your new book, I just want to meet my wife Sophia! Don't break us apart!"

"Even if I have nothing else to read, I won't buy your new book. Spare me. What? Pre-order is really tempting? It's impossible to resist, I'm not Wang Jizhe. I won't read it, what can you do?"

"What's the difference between not being able to see my wife and having a long-distance relationship? I'm always worried about being NTRed."

This is like when Potato was writing "Battle Through the Heavens". Just when Xiao Yan was about to have a final showdown with Nalan Yanran, Potato suddenly went on hiatus to write a new book... and it was already considered lucky if he wasn't hacked to pieces.

Anyway, Li Xiaoci always felt that if she were to stand in front of these readers in real life, they would surely angrily stab her with knives.

She patted her little belly while murmuring.

Forget it! I'm not going to check Weibo. Those people seem too scary.

Next, I'll slowly plan out the details of "Dragon and Tiger".

"Dragon and Tiger" is a story set in neon lights, which is the Sakura Province of the flower country in this world. In theory, it doesn't matter if the protagonist's name isn't changed, but Mo Shao is a Han Chinese light novel author who writes entirely from the perspective of his own people, which might be a bit questionable. Therefore, Li Xiaoci's first step was to change the male protagonist Gao Sug Long'er into a Han Chinese high school student living in Sakura Province, with the surname "Gao" and the name "Long'er", so let's call him Gao Long'er. As for the female protagonist Aisaka Taiga and other character designs, there's no need to change them.

After that, I just need to write according to the outline.

Unlike pure plagiarism, every plot in here, from every action description to every line of dialogue, must be redesigned by Li Xiaoci himself. This ensures that his writing style won't cause confusion for readers due to sudden changes in art style. It also helps him improve his own skills. This type of half-plagiarism method that requires a lot of effort can quickly increase a writer's skill and experience points! Besides, the original work itself is a Japanese light novel, so there may be some flaws in translation to Chinese. By writing it herself, she can make it even more perfect.

...

News about Mo Shao abandoning "Magic Sword Academy" and starting a new project quickly spread throughout the light novel forums and Tieba.

Light novel forum:

"Fuck, I just finished the third volume and Mo Shao is already starting a new project? What about the fourth volume?"

"What else can we do? We'll probably have to wait a year or two to see it."

"What is Mo Shao trying to do? He finally wrote a phenomenal work, and now he's writing something else? Is he really that capricious?"

"This scoundrel probably wants to make money by selling razor blades."

"If he doesn't write the fourth volume, I won't read his new book, otherwise I'll be a dog."

All you can hear is wailing.

When news of this broke, some editors and industry insiders from other publishing houses were a bit confused.

"What? Mo Shao, who had a pinnacle work, is not writing it and instead writing something else?" Xu Zhengming said with a shocked expression.

You see, most authors don't want to easily end a work that has achieved a certain level of success. Because being a light novel author is an unstable profession, no one can guarantee that the next book will reach the same level of success. As for "Magic Sword Academy," which is a phenomenal work, Xu Zhengming, an experienced editor-in-chief, could confirm that its success is based on the "moe attributes" of a series of characters. This success is irreplaceable, and even if Mo Shao were to start a new book, they could not replicate this success.

Although, in the past two months, the industry has produced many academy-themed light novels that follow the same template as "Magic Sword Academy."

But!

"Magic Sword Academy" is still the originator of this genre.

At this time, instead of rushing to write more, Mo Shao decided to start a new project, making Xu Zhengming feel that they may have some problems with their intelligence.

Of course, from Xu Zhengming's point of view, their publishing house and light novels are still competitors. Since Mo Shao wants to write something else, he has no objection, even if he should applaud?

...

Kyoto Military Hospital.

Abbas felt that the atmosphere in the hospital was becoming more and more harmonious.

In the past, although the hospital provided good food and drink, everyone's mood was very depressed. Many people were unable to heal from the scars of war. Even when Abbas looked up at the night sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes were always filled with a faint melancholy and sadness, like a poor poet.

But now!

It's different now!

The atmosphere here can only be described as lively, like roasted gluten!

Although only about forty of the hundreds of veterans in the hospital are temporarily undergoing light novel therapy, all of these people are addicted to it, and they have a common hobby with Abbas!

What does having a common interest represent? It represents a common topic, represents intimacy between people, and when Abbas and other allied veterans chat about "Magic Sword Academy," they often unknowingly expose their fetishes. What happens when men reveal their fetishes to each other?! Of course, it produces strong friendship!

"The more they expose their fetishes to each other, the deeper their emotional bond becomes, ya know what I mean?!"

Thinking back to the past, even when a group of retired soldiers were forced to gather together, they rarely had the urge to chat. And even if someone spoke up, it only took a few words to remind them of painful memories.

But now, it's different!

Now when they gather together, they laugh and discuss whether they prefer mature women or lolis, whether they prefer big or small breasts... it's so harmonious and friendly.

However...

When Abas saw Mo Shao not writing the fourth volume of "Magic Sword Academy" on Weibo, but instead starting a new story, he was shocked.

"Damn, why isn't Mo Shao writing 'Magic Sword Academy' anymore? It's so good!"

"I'm screwed, won't see my wife next month."

"I've read several light novels, but Mo Shao writes the best."

Then a retired veteran from Vietnam suggested, "Why don't we write a letter of protest?"

A Korean veteran nodded, "That's a good idea."

"Yes, yes, yes! We don't want to read a new book! We want the fourth volume of 'Magic Sword Academy'!"

"Agreed! I want my wife Sophia! I refuse to read a new book!"

Soon enough, countless letters from international readers flooded the editorial department of light novels, and were ultimately delivered to Li Xiaoci's home in a cardboard box by Chen Yulan.

After reading a few letters...

"Are they insane?!" Li Xiaoci blushed and covered her face.

Beside her, Chen Yulan listened and thought...

What are you blushing for?! Who's the culprit behind this? Don't you have any clue?!
