At the time when Furuhashi Sakurakyu was uncertain and baffled.

In Tokyo, an editor named Kento Nara just got off work.

When he got back home, he finally got rid of the negative emotions he had from being scolded by the chief editor. He went back to his room after having dinner.

Kento Nara had rarely logged onto this website previously because he used to think that the light novels published online were all rubbish.

In Japan, there was a standard procedure regarding the publishing of a novel. One needed to be acknowledged by an editor to publish their light novel. If the editor thought that your novel was flawed and lacked logical reasoning in the storyline, he would return the novel and ask you to redo it. Often, the editor exerted a significant influence on a light novel.

Unless you were already a famous light novelist, you would generally have to listen conscientiously to the editor as the publication rights still lay in their hands.

Usually, the editor would not do you any harm.

It was the same when it came to mangaka.

Most novels uploaded to the website were aberrations rejected by editors, so there was not much to look at. This was why Kento Nara disliked the site. You would probably dislike the website as well if you were the editor.

If the rejected novel became a hit on the website, that would be humiliating for the editor in question.

There were some fine works on the internet in recent years. Some examples would be ”Bad Student of the Magical High School,” ”Starting Life in Another World,” ”Overlord” and so on. However, these novels were first uploaded online and discovered by people before they were published, remade into manga, and adapted into animations. Nonetheless, these novels were of the minority.

As for Kento Nara, he liked to log into some light novel forums and discuss the writing techniques for light novels with the netizens. Aside from increasing his knowledge, he also got a sense of satisfaction when other people agreed with his views.

However, there was now a novel that gave him many restless days and nights. It was called ”Loading File of Tokyo.”

Back when it first came out, it was in popular demand. But Kento Nara looked down on it. He even thought, arrogantly, that all the readers were paid to leave good reviews because only he knew the most about light novels.

He remained indifferent when one, or even 10 people recommended it to him. But he became curious when the whole forum began buzzing about this single novel.

As a result, he went online to search for this novel and began to read it!

He became obsessed with it after he started reading.

”Loading File of Tokyo” was a light novel where the main character could load files, substantially similar to that of 486, the main character in ”Starting Life in Another World.”

”Starting Life In Another World” was an alternate universe fantasy novel, and 486 had used this ability to change everything that had happened from bad to good.

On the contrary, the main character in ”Loading File of Tokyo” used this ability to flee and commit crimes!

Besides, the writer had made the introduction very suspenseful, exciting, and intriguing. The main character would die a horrible death every time before loading the files. However, the sense of satisfaction when the culprit was arrested after loading the files following his horrible death felt wonderful to Kento Nara.
