Chapter 353 (1/2)

Bakuman

After Zhao Youyue searched for information related to “Ya Jing” on the internet, she was shocked by her talent. If Han Leng was a genius writer among high school students, then Lin Shiya was quite possibly one of the most talented university students around. She was the pride, the face of Zhang Wanjun’s famous university. Busybodies flattered her, calling her the campus flower.

But unfortunately, this school flower already belonged to someone. But no one knew who she actually belonged to, as her boyfriend was doing a good job at laying low.

No one knew that her boyfriend had a great deal of influence. Apart from several book signing events, she never participated in the rest of the promotional events. She seldom accepted interviews as well. She had given the readers the impression that she was the kind of writer that focused on writing, having little concern for fame and gain. This only gave her books more appeal.

The readers considered her works to have some sort of purity which other writers did not have. Her university teacher was also a big boss in traditional literature. Therefore, she was easily recognized by the traditional literature community. It was why her books racked in awards like no tomorrow.

The notebook that Zhao Youyue held in her hands at that moment was undoubted “Ya Jing’s” new work. What kind of “POV Writing Method” novel would it be?

If this novel was excellent, it would be worth for her to travel into it via the “Two Dimensional Gate.”

After all, this “Ya Jing” piece was not on the market yet, but her fans were waiting with bated breath. If she manages to live up the hype, it would easily grow popular. In addition to her connections in literary, along with her great track and sales record, this latest work could be eligible for more weighty literary awards. In that case, its probability of becoming an iconic work would drastically increase.

Zhao Youyue decided to look further. She soon saw the name of the novel —— “Bakuman.”

Zhao Youyue was stunned. If she had not misremembered, “Bakuman” was supposed to be a manga in theother world, which also known as “Bakuman.” It was a shonen manga full of positive energy. It also gave a refreshing, realistic insight of the manga industry. “Shonen Jump” was the center stage. The mangakas and editors in the magazine drew heavy reference from real-life counterparts.

Perhaps this novel was the novel version of the manga “Bakuman?”

Was Lin Shiya the legendary main character who plagiarized the articles of others?

Zhao Youyue continued reading. She realized that this novel “Bakuman” by “Ya Jing” had nothing to do with “Bakuman” of the other world. Yet, it spoke of a world with the writers as the main characters. It explained the traditional writer industry of this world in general.

Undoubtedly, becoming a professional writer, or a traditional writer was not an easy matter. In this era where online literature took the shore by waves, how many writers would be able to adhere to their original literary dreams?
