Blurb:
[Simple Version]
Sayaka, a socially anxious girl with a nervous tendency to blurt out shocking things, transmigrates.
Her symptoms are as follows: whenever she's about to say something important, she suddenly becomes so nervous she can't communicate. After a brief silence, she then blurts out something shocking, doing something so suicidal that no one can stop her. Five stars for the degree of self-destruction.
When Sayaka opens her eyes, she discovers that she has transmigrated as Sakura, the heroine of a certain ninja manga's older sister. Now named Haruno Sayaka, she's a year ahead of Sakura, which puts her in the same class as the future Guy Squad, alongside Neji, her favorite character from before she transmigrated.
So, having prepared herself mentally from the moment she transmigrated and spent most of the day working up the courage to meet her beloved idol, Haruno Sayaka is just about to take the first step and gather the nerve to block his way at the classroom door:
Sayaka (in her heart): I love you, my idol!
Sayaka (out loud): "Neji, you died so tragically!"
Neji: "..."
[Literary Version]
This is the story of an ordinary person who, even after realizing everything is futile, still chooses to fight for herself.
She knows he is destined to die.
He realizes she is rushing toward death.
Sayaka once thought that the meaning of transmigrating was to rewrite Neji's ending.
She struggles clumsily, trying to wrench the gears of fate in his favor.
Until he sees the ending of her own life hidden deep in her eyes, and his cold question shatters every excuse she has:
"Do you want to be my creator?"
At last, she understands: what she truly needs to fight is not his fate, but her own.

Theme: Human choice and dignity in the face of a predestined ending
I think the arc of Ningji written in more than two hundred chapters is quite good [like] People are not perfect. Of course, Neji, who is called a "genius", also has shortcomings, but the original work does not show them so clearly. In the chapter of Sister Haruno, we can see that Ningji has grown up little by little, and his heart is constantly strengthening. From talking about the unfair fate and complaining about himself one by one, to the unforgettable overnight coup, he completely breaks away from the shackles. It is more flesh-and-blood and more immersive than watching the so-called perfect genius. Of course, we cannot do without the trust and support of Sayaka, the little sun. This Neji is so great [Spread flowers][Spread flowers][Spread flowers]
I won't meet Kazuya now.
The problems they encountered were somewhat similar, and they found that they were very good at mirroring narratives.
In the past two days, I suddenly thought of "Ningji, you died so miserably." I was so uncomfortable that I scratched my head and searched for a fanfic to see a good ending for Ningji. I searched a lot but couldn't find a satisfactory one. How could I find this one? It perfectly fits the character of Ningji. The growth and struggle between the heroine and Neji made me burst into tears several times. Soul mates are the best!!! There are still a few chapters left and I really can't bear to read them... I beg the author to update it soon. Fans of the book will be able to see the end as soon as they wake up, right 🤩 🤩 🤩
Let's sort out the process of portraying Neji's character arc in this article: 1. Theoretical stage The first stage: the slave of fatalism (the first one hundred chapters, consistent with the early stage of the original work) The second stage: Radical fatalist (until the end of Nei Chu's duel, at this stage Neji saw his future through the mirror of the future, and believed in fate more deeply than in the original work) The third stage: the initial existential turn (talking to Sayaka in the Chunin Exam Chapter, criticizing negative existentialism through the revelation of Kazuya's fate, strengthening the cost of existentialism through the portrayal of Haruki's death, Kazuki's story is to explore the results of radical existentialism, Ning Ming's duel, talking with Hizashi, clearly rejecting Hizashi's free death). 2. Practical stage The fourth stage: establishing positive existentialism (self-awakening in Ningji's cemetery) The fifth stage: the repetition of existential practice (the spiral of human cognition: the wavering in the Shaye rebellion, writing a letter of severance of relations to Sayaka) The sixth stage: the stage of complete self-awakening (actively planning to fake death, inheriting the fire to plan a coup) Overall character arc process: transformation from fatalistic slave to existential hero. The original Neji is indeed not a leader who can plan a rebellion, but I feel that my article has put a lot of effort into this transformation. I don't think it should be called OOC. Hahaha, people say that writing articles is just to make dumplings with jealousy, so I think it's hard for me to write jealousy. In fact, this article is not so much Neji's BG as it is that I wrote this article to reshape Neji's character arc. I am essentially a plot controller. I have written more than 180 chapters until now. In fact, my purpose is to complete this character arc. This article lacks any plot chapter. The theory and ideological supplement of the above arc are not comprehensive, so I sacrificed readability to complete the transformation of this character arc. Here, let me say one last thing. I think this character arc is the best gift I can give to the character of Neji.
Ahhhhhhhh! Why is no one commenting? I'm so excited.
[Spread flowers] Baby, you are a pink-haired baby
Let me briefly talk about my thoughts on finishing this book. In fact, there is a problem in the current novel market: there is a lack of space for innovative works in the market. This problem was very obvious when I was trying to find a position for "Haruno". That is to say, when it comes to BG stories, BG is actually a very broad field, because works with emotional lines may not all be pure sweet stories, they may even be serious dramas. However, this type of drama may not all be standard dramas. In fact, I think the biggest technical path difference between this book and the market Neji BG is actually only one: I treat the caged bird as a systemic system of oppression and restore it, but the market BG simplifies the caged bird into a technical problem for the sake of pure love, so it can be brushed off. But I feel that this problem cannot be simplified. Market literature believes that the heroine is flat enough to be substituted, and is just a tool. I pursue the heroine to have an independent character arc. To put it simply, these are the only fundamental differences I have, but I am completely placed on a different side. Hey, to put it simply, I think love lines are inherently different. Who stipulates that you must have cookies, chase your wife to the crematorium, and do whatever you want. I think the love line of a friend in need is also very good. I think Ningsha's line is tailor-made for the male protagonist Ningci. I didn't ask him to say love words, and I didn't ask him to become a softened male protagonist who serves the heroine like in many stories. I was just trying my best to design an emotional line that fits Neci's character and is based on real logic. So when I tried to write copy, I had a copywriting waste situation. I don't know how to place "Spring Wilds" in the market. It is not a pure sweet novel, because it treats the caged bird as a political system; it is not a standard drama, because its core is always Ningsha's emotional line; it is not a sweet and sweet novel, because its heroine does not receive any external "benefits"; it is even difficult to be rated as a romance novel. It means a simple "fan", because I am essentially a critical fan, I have the ability to convey the main theme, and I have the ambition to debate propositions with Kishimoto, which is something that most fans don't have. They may write about Neji BG but they will never explore this issue in depth. I had a short period of time to change the copy every day. I didn't know how to accurately capture my audience through this short copy. In the end, I had to compromise with the market. I said I would first write a popular version to trick people into killing me, and then weed out a group of sweet readers. There will always be some left. Because in the market, the label Neji BG corresponds to the cookie article. I have been wondering and curious about where the readers of the drama I am looking for are - and where I can find them. Then in this situation, I can only take a gamble - I said, let me take a gamble. There is still a type of reader in the market. "They don't know what they like to read or what they want to read, but as long as they see it, they know, ah, this is what I want." I bet there is such a group of readers, a group of potential readers, and I bet not all readers can only read mindless cookie articles. So, I wrote. This process was very difficult. There were times when I was criticized, there were debates, and there were times when I had doubts about my creations. But luckily, I finished it. Why I think this is because when One Piece was launched, editors rejected it three times because the painting style did not meet the market requirements. Giant was rejected many times because the story style was too heavy and did not meet market requirements. I always believe that the market is defined. There is a blue ocean market that can be defined through innovation. Narrative experimental works are my sprint towards the potential blue ocean that may exist. Perhaps, like most innovative works, more than 99% of them will die miserably and the data will be garbage. But as long as I live up to my own requirements for my own works, it will be fine. So when I wrote the recommendation for "Spring Wilds", I started to run into another problem. That's it—even though I finally defined this book as a drama. But I did not violate my original intention when I first wrote the first chapter: I wanted to write a BG article. Although this BG article was very popular by me, and my ambition expanded greatly later on, turning it into a group portrait - the core of it is still the emotional line between Neji and Sayaka. Every time I write about Ningji engaging in politics, he actually avoids Xiangxiang on purpose. Because I feel that if he is with Xiangxiang, he just wants to run away with Xiangxiang. Well, to put it simply, when I write political lines, I am still talking about Ning Sha itself, because the better Ning grows, the harder I feel he actually works 2333. Simply put, this is a contrasting technique. Well, in short, I still hope that the creative ecology can be more diverse and inclusive. The current novel market gives me the feeling that I am like an idiot who is engaging in performance art and sensationalizing. Of course, I admit that I feel that I am indeed a performance artist - narrative and experimental works are all performance art, and they should be treated as inviting people to come in and take a look at the exhibition. You can't make money, you don't want to please readers, you want data but no data, you want traffic but no traffic, it's purely a personal pleasure operation, right? Hahaha. The next book I plan to take is the market. Let me see if I am a mule or a horse and take it out for a walk. Everyone is welcome to pay attention to the article column "Uchiha Sister's Shocking Words". You should have a completely different reading experience from Haruno.
Sayaka's reaction was something I didn't expect hahaha
Oh my god, what a surprise, the third update 🐰
