Chapter 920: Reason for winning the award, this... light... novel is really amazing

"That's too bad!" Ying said.

If you look closely, the author's name is exactly the same, the Lord of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

"He even copied your name?!" Ying's eyes widened slightly. Such a shameless person should be thrown into the prison of the Executive Office.

Ying and Paimon took the book and looked at it carefully.

“Hmm… um…” Paimon scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face, and hesitant about what to say, “Could this book… be Jiang Yi’s book! Hmm… if you look closely, it’s a little different from the ‘Record of One Hundred Ghosts’, like a hardcover illustrated edition!”

"The price..." Paimon looked at the label and opened his mouth. "It's expensive... it's more than one zero more expensive! Why... why is it like this!"

It’s exactly the same book, but with a new name, sales increase and it’s sold at a very high price.

Jiang Yi flipped through the book "Record of a Hundred Ghosts" with its title tampered with.

"Or is it one of the winning works of 'This light novel is really great'?" Ying discovered a new tag.

"Jiang Yi, don't you know? This... ahem, the title of the book was not changed by you." Paimeng read the outrageous title and knew that it was definitely not Jiang Yi who cherished his reputation. It was most likely...

"Yaeguchi!" She instantly thought of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Son of God?" Ying asked in confusion, "I think I understood that it was the Son of God who changed the title of the book on his own initiative. But why? They are obviously the same book, why do people prefer this one? Just because of the title."

"By the way, the title of this book doesn't completely match the content! I don't even see the bread in the title." She thought it was too strange.

"Uh-haha!" Paimon couldn't explain, and didn't dare to explain. He didn't know how the Son of God knew this nickname.

Fanan, Yingda, Shiranui, Xuenian, and the ignorant Xuehuhua were not in this first volume. Looking at the title, they fell into deep thought.

Bread? And pet minions?

Which are bread and which are pets?

"Why don't we ask the people in Yaedo..." Ying said.

"No! That's not necessary!" Ying and Paimeng refused.

Oh my god! How embarrassing!

Jiang Yi, say something! This is to help you cover up, right?

Paimeng frequently looked at Jiang Yi.

"Bread, soft and fragrant, is used to describe girls in light novels." Jiang Yi said seriously and half-seriously.

"Oh! Is that so? I seem to understand a little bit." Ying nodded.

"Actually, I want to know more about how Jiang Yi's book won the award? Is there any shady deal?" Paimon looked at the award-winning label that read "This light novel is amazing."

In several award-winning works, the content is truly unique.

"For award-winning books, it seems that Yaedo will collect readers' comments and reflections for the author!" Ying thought for a moment.

Kuroda, wearing black-framed glasses, is currently playing the classroom game "You can't see me! You can't see me! Don't ask me!"

"General, you read light novels..."

"Oh... This is more like something that happens in a light novel."

"too frightening!"

"Ah——! Ah——!"

When Kuroda, who was muttering to himself, heard the purpose of Ying's visit, his panicked heart calmed down a little.

"Readers' comments on that novel! Here, here..." He found a box, "Oh! Oh, and these separately organized slips of paper are comments from readers who bought 'A Hundred Ghosts Record'."

"Hmm?" Ying took them all.

"Look! Look!" Paimon opened the box and looked at the densely packed papers.

“First review!” she read.

"Wow... a nonfiction novel that's both powerful in the sense of physics and magic... and very light to hold?"

Paimon looked even more confused at the comment.

"Is this how light novels are defined?" Ying felt that Jiang Yi was an exception!

"Are you praising the novel?" Ying asked.

Jiang Yi picked up a reader's comment.

"God is writing a book, please support it."

"The title of the book chosen by God is quite interesting! Did God choose it himself?"

"Excuse me, little bread?"

The notes were turned over by everyone.

"It can't be damaged by fire, it can't be soaked by water, it can suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits! May I ask... which light novel can compare to it? It's wonderful! Wonderful!"

See this comment.

"..." Jiang Yi, I seem to understand what the first comment said!

“This book can be used as a talisman!”

"I was surrounded by hillbillies and had no weapons. I took out this book in a panic and ten hillbillies ran away in fear."

"My Lord God, this book is so powerful. I was walking in the wilderness and an arrow flew towards me. I thought I was dead! Unexpectedly, the book on my chest directly blocked the arrow flying towards my heart! When I took it out, I saw that there was no damage at all! Not only me, but the book itself was not damaged at all."

"Hmm! I don't understand... the relationship between the title and the content... but the illustrations are beautiful. So, I'll vote for this book!"

"Killed the slime with a book!"

"Vote! Vote! Keep one, read one, and give one to a friend!"

"Go, go, go!"

"If I buy a dozen books and stick them on my shield, will I be invincible?"

"Please... God, please don't sell strategic materials!"

"Excuse me, can this book stop the bullets from the ancient machine?"

"My friend recommended it to me for such an outrageous reason that I couldn't help but buy a copy. It's really amazing! Amazing in both physics and magic! This ticket is all for you!"

"I thought that the gods also rigged votes and paid for comments, but I didn't expect that... I am too narrow-minded!"

“Is what is recorded here true?”

"Can the price be cheaper? I've got the ticket!"

"Hey! Why does the illustration give me a calm and peaceful feeling... a strange fear? I dare not blaspheme!"

"Xiangliu at night is too scary, I dare not look at it!"

"The big raccoon demon is cute!"

"It can't be broken by a knife! Is this a blessing from the gods?"

"Hey! I figured out what buns are! Raise your hands if you can smile knowingly! Ah! It seems that only God can see this note! Atonement, atonement!"

"Which page should you open and hang above your bed? I recommend Wu Ling, it may take you on a journey to wonderland!"

“Why does this illustration sometimes seem to come alive?”

"God! I love you!"

……

As he read on, Jiang Yi felt more and more upset. He shouldn't have read the comments.

Ying, Paimon, and Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that it is truly 'This... light... novel is amazing!'" Paimon didn't know what to say. All he could say was... six!

"So this is the evaluation criteria for winning the award? Can I try to use other books to block the arrows?" Ying looked at the other winning works.

"Ah!" Ying heard Ying's words, "No, no, no! The criteria for winning the award is definitely not like this."

"Yes, yes!" Paimon nodded. Using a book to block arrows would be too difficult for other light novels!

Those are really not strategic weapons.

The secret of the power of Jiang Yi's books actually lies in the hidden spells that appear as patterns around the pages. These spells are added when the books are printed, and then a blessing is cast on all the completed and sealed books.

The fact that it won the award is undoubtedly because Inazuma readers voted for books like this, redefining what it means to say "this light novel is amazing", which fits with Yae Kamiko's very interesting view on the matter.

Oh! Maybe it was because she changed the title of the book herself, so she naturally didn't want to let the treasure be covered in dust.

Jiang Yi reads readers' comments on "Record of One Hundred Ghosts".

"Come on, Mr. Yokai! When will the next volume be released? I'm so looking forward to it!"

It looks like the Xiao Palace!

"Mr. Monster, I asked my dad to buy a book. It's very interesting!"

is a child.

"A hundred demons parade at night, enjoying flowers and drinking together, may be a strange and elegant thing to do."

A bit like Linghua.

"Haha, Manye and I also bought one!"

Beidou.

I feel like the sales of this book with a serious title are all thanks to the help of friends.

"It's a bit strange. I told someone about the Hundred Demons in the Hundred Demons Record, and he also knew about it. He even said he bought a copy, but when I asked about the title, it turned out to be something like 'God's Little...Bread and Pets...'. Yaedo said there was no plagiarism!"

Jiang Yi flipped through a few more pictures and put away the comments. He had read most of them, so he decided to stop here for now.

"Let's look at other people's books!" he suggested.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was writing about the records of a hundred ghosts, he would never let his friends read his fantasy novel and then read the reviews.

That's so embarrassing that you can dig out a big villa with your toes.

"Okay!" Ying felt that she had regained some confidence. Maybe these books just had strange titles, and the contents were as normal as Jiang Yi's books.

"Yes! Let's take a look..." Paimon looked at the bookshelf, "In the Jianghu, I Just Want to Write Novels."

It’s a relatively normal title here, and should be something Ying can understand!

"It's a Liyue martial arts story..." Ying and Paimon flipped through it briefly, "The protagonist's dream is to become an ordinary light novel writer who doesn't fight with the world, but because he has a unique martial arts physique, he is dragged into the struggle of the rivers and lakes..."

The villain is a bit imaginative, and the protagonist is so pretentious. Jiang Yi glanced at it casually. Tsk! Not my type!

The story of this book focuses on the open and covert struggles among various gangs. The selling point is that the protagonist has never joined any faction, but is always mistaken for a hidden master of a certain faction.

The various masters who regard the protagonist as their imaginary enemy always make a lot of jokes, but the protagonist never forgets his original intention of becoming a novelist...

People passed the book around.

Paimon didn't quite understand the protagonist's idea: "That's weird. Why do you have to be a light novel writer? You're so talented that you can easily become the best in the martial arts world."

Ying, on the other hand, feels that this book is all about the process, the protagonist's precious will, and the execution of his wish to the end... This should resonate with Ying.

Ying frowned: "Are the hearts of people in Liyue so complicated now?"

She felt a little sad, thinking that it wasn't like this before!

"In comparison, although the protagonist has always been unwilling to face up to his own talents, he is a rare righteous man. Where is he now? Does he plan to come to Inazuma? I want the magistrates to invite him to fight with me." He seems so powerful as described in the book, and Ying wants to have a fight with him.

There was silence.

Paimon said with difficulty: "That is a fictional character, it does not exist in reality..."

"Oh!" Ying nodded, "What a pity. By the way, Jiang Yijun, your swordsmanship is very good. Are you interested in exchanging ideas with us as warriors? In Yixin Pure Land!"

"It's not a battle like last time!" Ying added.

"When you're free, you can!" Jiang Yi nodded. Knowing Ying's personality, he wasn't afraid that this exchange would turn into a real suppression.

"Ah... I hope you guys stop fighting!" Paimon was very worried about Inazuma, wondering if she would be destroyed one day!

"No! No! Let's get back to the topic. This book should focus more on the villains. Ying, don't you have any feelings about the actions of these villains?" Paimon wondered.

Ying was puzzled: "Why pay attention to them?"

"Villains? They are all stupid people. I really don't know how they established their sect. And they are all bad guys. They just get what they deserve." She commented.

Paimon shrugged at Ying, "It seems Ying doesn't care about the supporting characters at all."

"But how many of Inazuma are the protagonists? All living beings are supporting roles under the power of gods!" Jiang Yi sighed.

"Should I pay attention to this?" Ying asked.

"That's not necessary. You can just read the fools in this book and forget about them. Just focus on the ordinary people like Inazuma!" Jiang Yi replied.

"Okay, next one!"

"My Chaotic Youth Romance Story." He pulled out a book.
