"Someone once asked me, what's the most dangerous job in the world?"
"I told him: web novel editor."
"Because authors are quite likely to write about things they've experienced themselves."
"Which means you might have to deal with transmigrators, retired heroes, active Demon Kings, useless Heroic Spirits, Ultraman, and even Outer Gods."
"And these self-important types are all such irresponsible jerks. They often miss deadlines and stop updating."
"That's when editors have to step in."
"Our job is to get the manuscripts out of these jerks' hands, heads, bodies, or even their assholes, in time for publication."
"See? It's that simple."
From the cover message of the Web Novel Editor's Handbook for Beginners, by Nancy.
