152 Why Did the System Become So Useless? (2/2)

”Oh!” Su Yan straightened up.

So he was supposed to include the problem between his main characters! This …

He frowned. No, wait. This made no sense at all! Don't even speak about falling in love and having problems, the male lead hadn't even appeared yet! How was he supposed to bring up problems?

Su Yan frowned even more. This was absolutely impossible. The problem between the two of them would be that Ziju An was Dou Fang Hai's master and that society frowned upon a relationship in such a situation. But right now they weren't master and disciple and Dou Fang Hai was just a small brat. How could he bring their problem up like this?

All the so-called hints the system had shown him since opening this practice task were either completely generic or some shit he couldn't use at all. Why had his system suddenly gotten so useless? Weren't its tips normally better?!

Su Yan shook his head and clicked for the next part in a bad mood.

[Measured against the length of your story or the first volume of your story if you're writing a longer series this general information about the story should be established at the very latest after a fifth of the overall length.]

Su Yan's eyes grew wide. Wait! So everything he had read until now wasn't for the first chapter but instead … for … several chapters?! Maybe even a mini-arc?! Why hadn't the system said so in the beginning?! This thing was obviously bullying him!

Su Yan turned to the side and looked at Nie Chang with a hurt expression but his unsympathetic boyfriend didn't even notice.

”Hmph.” Su Yan snorted and turned back. ”I can do this myself!”

Nie Chang looked up when he heard his boyfriend's voice but a certain someone was already staring at his phone again. Nie Chang looked at him a moment longer before getting back to work with a smile. It seemed his little darling was working happily. There was no need to worry.

Su Yan wanted to click for the next part but there actually wasn't one. Instead, the system gave him two other choices: He could either get [Further information] or [Go back to the menu]. He pursed his lips and clicked on the second one.

Sure, he could have a look at some more information but he felt like that wouldn't be of too much use. It would be better to put to use what he had read just now. After all, he already knew now that he had a fifth of the novel's length to establish all these things.

Mn … That should be … Su Yan frowned. How was he supposed to know how much a fifth was?! After all, the system hadn't given him a chapter limit for this story! It really was bullying him this time!

Just who could tell him what a fifth of an unknown number of chapters was, ah?!
