When Zhao Youyue reached her hometown, she went straight to the bookstore and bought “Girlish Numbers” and “Everyone In The World Is In A Deep Sleep Other Than Myself.” Looking at how both novels were displayed on the shelf, “Girlish Numbers” was clearly selling worse.

Zhao Youyue spent a few days to finish both books. “Girlish Numbers” had more potential of becoming an iconic novel. Du Hang’s storyline knew just how to showcase the adorable side of his female protagonist. This novel had the potential of producing a hilarious anime with its artwork alone as the female protagonist expresses her thoughts in her heart. It would be easy to make a series of facial expression emojis based on her face!

Iconic novels did not always necessarily need emoji packages. But when emojis were needed, people would only use emojis from widely-known, recognized anime. When their friends catch sight of these emojis, they would start looking up the origin of such an adorable female protagonist. Who knows, the novel might even gain a new reader or two?

Then… There would be no more “then.” It was a story of a girl in the voice acting industry. It was a hateful, hostile world. The irony, cynical sarcasm would be a little too heavy-handed for some. Readers preferred something funny and delightful, even if it was fabricated.

Undeniably, Du Hang had a remarkable talent for writing. If only he could stem his ego and write what the market actually wanted…

Zhao Youyue could not place her finger on how the other novel with that lengthy title actually became as popular as it was. The only rational explanation would be, miracles – truckloads of it.

Generally, readers of light novels preferred the slow progression of a youth love story. One step at a time. Protagonists did not meticulously plan strategies; there was no need to rush it.

On the contrary, it would not be a light novel if the protagonist achieved his goals a little too soon. It would be more similar to a hentai in the form of paragraphs and essays. If it was a hentai, why take the fuss to portray how the world looked like?

This novel was not particularly hentai’ish. After all, it was a novel meant for all ages, not just adults.

This light novel actually created shockwaves the moment it debuted on the market. However, it quickly lost momentum when readers grew bored of its monotony and repetition.

The author “Love The Taste Of Rice In Her House” never attempted to add anything fresh to the scene. He merely introduced new girls to the scene for the protagonist to wake.

This novel did not deserve any of Zhao Youyue’s efforts. She had to leave this world without hurting herself. Destroying this novel would not be an option.

Despite its deteriorating standard, it still had some readers. Destroying this novel would more than likely result in a backfire.

She would have to get into a lengthy discussion with the author to initiate a passer-by’s cameo. Since she only wanted a small-fry character, it was not asking for much.

Thankfully, Du Hang had given her rather easy access to this otherwise troublesome author.
