“Just once, I want to make it through the first stage of screening…”

“Please, teach me how to write a novel.”

The ordinary high school boy Ao, is actually a manuscript screener for a light novel newcomer competition. One day, he found the work of his classmate, Hiyuki Hinomiya among the submissions sent for his screening.

The aloof girl known as the ‘Ice Maiden’ actually wrote a light novel with fonts varying in size and onomatopoeic words for a contest! The surprised Ao started giving advice to her work after this unexpected event.

He gently guided Hiyuki who was hurt by the screening criticism. The world background, character setting, story structure and other issues were progressing smoothly, but…

A bright youthful content creation story begins!

    1. It might drag in some Nomura fans. Well, most of her translated works had at least one or two fantasy elements, but the draw is usually on her style.

  9. Hey, Sky. Do you want me to typeset the images? I ended up cleaning some of them, so I just need Eng text for finishing them.
    (somehow my versions sound a bit awkward, lol)

    1. Sorry, don't check comments often.
      Sure, do type set them. I can't read Japanese though.

      You should be able to identify my translations for the images and use them for your reference.
