Why is the writer staring blankly at the computer? People shouldn't stay in one position for too long. Is the writer dumb?
"The writer of this book got a little bit of tendonitis."
"This book" isn't referring to this book right now, is it? "The writer of this book" isn't the writer of this book right now, is it?
"Although anyone can theoretically write a novel, she discovered a shocking scam: people's hands have limits! If you write 10,000 words every day for more than five days, your hands will get tendonitis!"
Then don't write so much! You even needed to experiment for five days to figure that out? Couldn't you have written a little less on any given day?
If anyone wants to challenge themselves like the dumb author, remember to move your body and stretch your fingers every so often to relax while writing.
"Writing 10,000 words a day isn't the end. After you've finished a big chapter in one go, you have to go back and read it. Because you've forgotten what happened earlier due to the time that has passed, the filter you had while writing disappears when you read it again."
"It's said that you'll discover you've written illogical garbage, which is shocking. Words can turn into garbage."
Well, well, this garbage is probably a metaphor.
"So, there will be a long period of editing and recovery for the fingers."
You could just publish it directly. People don't read novels that carefully.
"Authors who like to write like this don't actually update regularly. They might seem to be updating every day on the surface, but they've already used up all their drafts. The next day, you'll see them post an excuse they carefully thought up in the author's note!"
I think I smell danger. How many drafts does the author have left?
"You absolutely can't just publish it directly.
Reviewing the words
is important."
Breaking it into paragraphs is also an art.
Although the pen is in the author's hand,
everyone says
"Write whatever you want, but!"
Saiki Kusuo: But what? Isn't this already very free?
But If it's not right, please add punctuation.
Everyone, look! It will be very tiring and confusing
Shizuku is also dizzy @@
Whether or not to add emoticons is a problem. Do ellipses to show silence mean it's too normal? It's better to just not say anything and skip it. Why is it okay for the main character to leave ellipses? Most of the Troupe members are just background when people are talking. Sometimes, only the leader's words are clear in long conversations. It's obvious that everyone else's statements are classified as Troupe members!
Saiki Kusuo: Wait, what's up with this layout and punctuation? The world is already falling apart.
"Also, the author has to think about the personalities of the different characters. Some characters would never use cute words like 'broken,' 'bad,' or 'sleepy.' These are the author's own habits, and they need to be changed."
I've been called out. Well, well, there's no problem with using them sometimes... probably.
"Some characters' verbal habits can't be used by other characters. For example, 'normal.' Only people who are thinking about being normal every day would have that word in their dictionary. It's strange. Who would want to be normal? Wouldn't using that word make readers feel that something is off?"
I've been called out again. Hey, shouldn't you have used a different example for "normal"?
"When there are too many things a character wants to complain about, and they accidentally end up complaining for three paragraphs, you have to think about deleting at least one paragraph, but it's difficult to choose. Therefore, you even have to specifically use dice to decide."
Well, that's how it is when you're used to complaining. Sorry for causing trouble. Please forgive him for that.
But, instead of using dice, you should use your brain to think carefully and choose which one to delete!
So, which of the three paragraphs was deleted in the end?
"Spelling mistakes are a big problem. If you only make one or two simple mistakes, you can still understand the meaning through the context."
Is the writer using handwriting input? They deserve tendonitis.
"Mistakes make it impossible to understand."
It looks like she's writing something very new.
"It's also very difficult to decide whether borrowing from other works is respect or plagiarism!"
Don't worry about it. If you share something out of love, it is respect. Oh, and I need to explain that the setting of Lord Chess is 100% based on the anime No Game No Life. It's a very good but not very popular anime. In that world, the god of games changed the world into a chessboard, and there are species fighting for the pieces. Gathering all the pieces allows you to fight the god... Hey, are we going to have that happen here too?
The No Game No Life movie is also very good. The mecha species are great, that feeling of robots, that 251 seconds that impressed so many people! But unfortunately, there will be no second season of the anime, and no new volumes of the original novel have been released. It completely fits the condition of living longer than the author. Everyone is already chasing Hunter x Hunter; how about adding another anime to the longevity race?
"The Tomato's error correction feature can't be seen in the background even if the author submits it when they're reading the text themselves. It's completely useless. I wonder if any kind readers have submitted corrections but been disappointed when they weren't taken care of. Um... But what is Tomato?"
People don't do such free things. If someone has, now everyone knows they can directly comment to remind the author.
"Professional authors even have every comment show 'Author liked'!"
The author just wants to see it himself.
"There are many side effects..."
I saw that there were a lot of words on the script, so the first page turned directly past the director's and editor's parts, and went straight to the author's part? Isn't the main topic here acting?
"If more people like pudding and jelly, they'll think that pudding and jelly are really delicious. Every time they see pudding or jelly worth $35 on the menu at a restaurant, they'll buy it."
Pudding and jelly are innocent. They're really delicious.
"At buffets, they'll also try every flavor of pudding first and then conclude that it's all cheap pudding made with powder. In the end, they eat it all in order not to waste it, taking up space in their stomach for nothing."
Don't expect pudding at buffets.
"There was also an accident where they had diarrhea from eating nine scoops of ice cream in order to stack three scoops."
That has nothing to do with writing novels anymore.
"Even in the middle of the night, they'll suddenly be tempted by sweets. Over time, the number on the scale increases. This is the fate of writing about characters who love sweets."
But Nen users and psychics don't gain weight from eating sweets.
Shizuku: ...
What's wrong? Have you escaped the disaster of being taken over?
"The content of the book has been read. Oh, where's the leader?"
Ah, I just realized someone is missing.
The young man who had been listening the whole time replied, "Are you talking about Mr. Lucilfer? He said listening to meaningless complaining was boring, asked for information on how to obtain the Lord Chess here, and left a long time ago."
He's really focused.
Tip: There are functions in the upper right corner of the page such as "Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese", "Adjust Font Size", and "Reading Background Color".
"Nothing to do. Should we wait for the leader to clear the mission?" Shizuku closed the book in her hand and looked at the young man. "Warden, if this place becomes an acting theme in the future, will all the prisoners be released without charge?"
So that really was the warden.
"Ah, um. That hasn't been decided yet, but something else has been confirmed."
What has been confirmed?
"Mr. Lucilfer successfully took down the best actor. The Lord Chess of this area is already in Mr. Lucilfer's hands."
After the warden finished speaking, the people in the territory received a notification sound.
[Your lord has been changed to player: Chrollo Lucilfer.]
[Please cooperate with the lord to protect your territory and plunder other territories!]
The change of lord does not include Saiki Kusuo, who possesses six chess pieces.
Unlike Saiki Kusuo, Chrollo issued an order the moment he obtained the Lord Chess.
Regardless of what this territory is currently being used for, it was indeed a prison before, and broadcasting and surveillance equipment are very well distributed.
Chrollo is located in the broadcast room, and the orders and intentions are directly conveyed: "Deprive all players of the right to leave the area, and prohibit free movement within ten meters without a prison guard. Now, everyone goes to the B area for free activities. Prison guard actors, open the gates to all player prisoners."
A prison has enough prisoners, and enough staff, and a large part of them are dark creatures making friendly appearances.
Even so, Chrollo was surprised that this territory could have more than forty people.
Although there are only three Nen users, one of whom is his Troupe member.
But, they can be used.
He didn't personally go to the arena to meet those people. If anyone recognized him as The Phantom Troupe leader and shouted it out, he would lose popular support.
Yes, he doesn't plan to use power to control them directly. After all, people are people, and they will find loopholes in the rules in any environment. If the rules are tight enough, they will not be able to fully use their power.
"Hello everyone, I am the current lord of this area, and your current supreme ruler. But rest assured, I am not a tyrant. As long as you don't do anything excessive, I will not use the authority to deprive you of your personal freedom."
Do you remember what you said with the last sentence?
"I am very open-minded, so I should get some benefit in return, right? Eight days have passed since the ship ran aground. What are your thoughts and discoveries about the game you are in now? If you don't have any, that's okay. See if there is anyone associated with the princes of the Kakin Empire around you, in a guard or employment relationship, anything is fine. If you don't have any information, then find a way to get information to prove that you are not a waste. Thirty minutes of free activity time, after which everyone will inform the prison guard in charge of you of the information."
What open-mindedness is this? Isn't this seriously threatening everyone?
In the warden's office, Saiki Kusuo was eating snacks and complaining.
Well, well, I thought I could go back right away. Judging from this, Chrollo is planning to tame these prisoners.
Just as he was feeling bored, Kusuko came in front of him.
"Meow, meow!" Kusuko raised his paw, imitating the reaction of that robot cat in his memory.
Saiki Kusuo: What's going on? Didn't I set it to human speech mode last time?
Kusuko: ?!
I should check the button on the back.
Saiki Kusuo reached out, and Kusuko subconsciously ducked. In the moment that Saiki Kusuo's hand was frozen in the air, he reacted quickly and lay down on the table, taking out a box of Gungi chess from under the table.
All-new Gungi chess, produced flawlessly by psychic powers on the spot.
Saiki Kusuo: Could it be that this robot cat knew that there was Gungi underneath through some scanning function, reminding me that this could pass the time?
Great, I'm getting the idea! Kusuko breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he and the original body will play Gungi together, so that the original body won't run around and discover anything...
Footsteps sounded at the door, and Chrollo strode into the warden's office.
"Phew, it's good that you're still here. I plan to make good use of this place, so I won't be taking you away right away. Will you be bored waiting?"
Well, I already guessed that from the broadcast. Saiki Kusuo looked up.
But he saw Chrollo dressed in medieval knight armor.
I said the footsteps outside just now were clip-clop-clip-clop, what's going on with you.
"Are you wondering about this outfit? The Lord Chess of this place needs acting to be obtained. I played many roles. This is the last set. I changed so many sets of clothes in a few hours; I was too lazy to change after it was over."
It would be easier to change this heavy thing.
"Although it was to clear the area, I had a lot of fun playing."
Yes, yes, the everyone's favorite voice actor leader.
"Voice actor? I'm talking about acting. How did you know I could do voice acting?"
The comic called Hunter X Hunter. Oops, I accidentally thought it out.
"Something from the Hunter Association? Their promotional comics? Never mind, instead of that, go to the broadcast room and watch the surveillance for me."
This person is definitely the type who gets full marks on closed-book tests and 0 points on open-book tests. Why do I need you, the real lord, to do things? Am I not here on vacation?
"Please, I have to calculate, and I should also draw a rough map of the continent. If everything goes smoothly, the prison will be a good place to defend. Anyone who comes in can be directly controlled, and we can find out about the situation in other areas from them."
You really know how to find tasks for yourself. Well, well, this is really troublesome.
"Oh, where did the Gungi come from? By the way, what is this kitten doing?"
Kusuko's tail was instinctively tapping on the table because of his displeasure, but every time the tail was about to touch the table, he retracted his strength and lifted it up.
Should I tap it or not? Tapping it is definitely not okay, so Kusuko can only properly control his instincts.
After all, the consequences of letting the tail tap freely can't be explained by the functions of a tiny robot cat.
Saiki Kusuo: The Gungi was found by the robot cat from under the table. It's probably the warden's leisure activity.
"I see, take it to pass the time," Chrollo said, swiping the Gungi.
You just said you were so busy that you needed me to watch the surveillance, but you don't actually need it at all.
"It's better to have someone watching... I have too many things to think about right now. I really don't have the time to watch. I really need help."
I feel like you're lying. You actually want to monitor me more easily.
Chrollo left with Saiki Kusuo. Kusuko almost got hit in the nose by the heavy wooden door.
Fortunately, he moved quickly and was able to avoid it.
However, the alone time with the original body has been destroyed. He has too many questions he needs to contact the original body to find out. Chess can give him awareness about changes in personal style and personality based on the chess moves, otherwise it wouldn't be like this at all.
This is very important; it relates to the way he will live from now on.
