Aside from initially approving the protagonist's manuscript, I didn't see the female editor help the protagonist in any way. She mostly made empty promises, constantly promising to recommend the protagonist and get him awards, but in the end, she didn't fulfill a single one of those promises. The farmer was lucky enough to strike gold with his hoe. Knowing he didn't have the ability to keep the gold, he still overestimated himself and tried to take it for himself.
The protagonist keeps talking about repaying a debt of gratitude. First, she earns money from the review process. Secondly, even if you are repaying a debt of gratitude, why would you think that repaying a debt of gratitude means not leaving the magazine? Does she take herself too seriously, thinking that she would lose her job without you?
I feel like I've become a reader of "New Fiction" too, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
90 Chapters completed, I just have to get this off my chest. 1. There are too many conspiracies and schemes; it's a bit frustrating to watch. 2. The so-called repayment of kindness is outrageous. Just because that female editor, Asano, reviewed the manuscript, he considered her a great benefactor and kept emphasizing it.
After thinking about it, I decided to share my feelings. I read all kinds of books, and recently I happened to be looking for a mystery/fiction book, so I clicked on this one. Initially, I could accept it, including the female lead; it was actually quite alright. But it wasn't until the publishing house stage involving suspect X that things changed.
To be honest, the connection between the protagonist and Asano is too far-fetched and weak right now. So-called gratitude should not be an excuse to stop the protagonist from pursuing a high-return platform. As for repaying, the protagonist will have plenty of ways to repay Asano after becoming a famous writer.
I've read up to chapter 112, and it's exhausting to read. Why does the author have to include conspiracies and intrigues? Do they think this creates conflict and keeps readers hooked? It's absurd! Although the writing is rather dry, I admire the author's extensive reading of mystery novels, and the plot summary is quite good. I was simply deterred by the petty and despicable details in the story.
It's fine for the author to use the female editor character as a plot device, but making her unlikable is putting the cart before the horse. I won't even discuss whether the editor was truly kind to the protagonist. Shouldn't the focus be on quickly developing the relationship before repaying the favor? Besides, I honestly didn't see the protagonist repay any favors.
Does it have a female lead? It would be really unreasonable for a Japanese setting not to have a harem.

69, You're just copying from another book. You think you can get away with copying one and then think you can create your own? Eat some peanuts, don't just drink your breath. Looking at the comments, so many people are saying the protagonist is stupid and keeps using repaying a debt of gratitude as a theme. I also think repaying a debt of gratitude is repaying a debt of gratitude, not being a slave or subservient to someone.
