When looking through the comments, I found all kinds of gossip and anecdotes about Japanese literary giants, so I will talk about my experience in finding information.
One way is to go straight to Huanglong.
For example, if you want to read the gossip of Osamu Dazai, you can go directly to his booklet. Generally, there will be various biographical profiles and comments in the preface.
The second is to look at the face.
Some authors will mention the names of various literary giants in their books, and also mention some personal feelings related to him.
I simply don't recommend "Literary Girl" if I just want to read the gossip of literary giants.
Although "Literature Girl" is my introductory light novel, it involves too many famous works and all kinds of public gossip. The fun is all spoiler-free.
Speaking of "Literary Girl", there is actually another gossip about the light novel industry.
We will talk about these later.
Then talk about the third method.
I recommend a writer, Li Changsheng.
Many of his collections of essays are dedicated to writers in the Japanese literary world, and all kinds of writers and their gossip are readily available.
If you just want to understand, just start with this gentleman's collection of essays.
The last one, go directly to the Japanese wiki to translate the author's life
Just casually gossip about light novels.
Light novels are a novel genre originated in Japan, which means "easy-to-read novels". Generally, all novels that cannot be classified in popular literature are classified into light novels.
If you want to classify mecha-type novels as science fiction, science fiction fans will directly complain that the author does not understand physics and what xjb wrote, but if you classify it into light novels, as long as the plot is good, readers of light novels will not be interested in professional design. The tolerance level is very high.
For example, "Magic" written by Kamachi and Ma who don't understand physics The world physics of "Magic" is different from our world, otherwise the book's bunch of settings will kill obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Kamachi and Ma also have an industry medal, which is a "Hippo typewriter".
The main reason is that this person can write a novel in a month, but the publishing practice in the light novel industry is one book in three months, so it's not good to break the industry practice for Hippo alone.
And Kazuma Kamachi's other "Reloaded Weapons", I haven't watched it, I just heard a bunch of settings made by xjb.
If you can abandon your common sense of physics, I still recommend the works of Kamachi and Ma.
What are the works of Riqing back then
I heard that "Blood of the Holy Demon", "Shakugan no Shana", "Magical Forbidden Book Catalog", "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "Literary Girl" and so on belong to the category of light novels.
The setting of light novels back then was quite hardcore.
Now there are all kinds of stalks from a certain point ten years ago, all kinds of useless cuteness.
This is all the fault of "is", a cancer in the industry (it's good that this lightly modified animation does not explode in sales, but once it explodes in sales, it is really a cancer in the industry)
But this mistake is also the audience's fault. Who told them to like this one? The audience voted with their feet. It's no wonder that Japanese light novels and lightly modified animations are becoming more and more nerdy.
By the way, why did I mention the work "Xia Na".
Let me just say that, "Shakugan no Shana" is a masterpiece.
Although I know that everyone knows that Shana is because of Kuimiya Simoe, I heard that many dead houses watched Shana's animation all the time because of Shana. The animation plot deleted a lot of the original content, so the plot is inexplicable. , but I heard that Shana watched all the hard-core hard-core movies back then, and I am also very impressed
Having said that, Shana's light novel has a super awesome world view, and I dare say that this world view beats the world view of more than 90% of light novels.
Well, let's talk about the work "Literary Girl".
This work was super awesome back then, but the author was unlucky enough to catch up with the era when light novels shifted from hardcore to cute and cute
Therefore, after Nomura Mizuki's "Literary Girl" became popular, her subsequent works were either silent or directly cut in half.
Let me list her works for you.
"When Light Was on Earth"
Almost all the female characters appearing in this book can be found in "The Tale of Genji".
in summaryThe plot is a new adaptation of the modern version of "The Tale of Genji".
The prototype of the male protagonist is the son of Guangyuan's wet nurse in "The Tale of Genji".
The light novel "Light" is the modern version of Guangyuan's death. The soul of Guangyuan's death found the male protagonist and asked him to find those women related to Guangyuan who needed help.
The story is actually very good-looking, but it is said that the sales are not well-received.
The next one is called "Women's Dressing Tutor" the title of a standard light novel. The titles of the novels back then were quite short, and it was not at all the kind of thing that would like to put all the content of the novel on the cover.
The next one is "You, the Vampire, Started an Eternal Love"
was cut in half.
The next one is "Arjean Carrel, Revolutionary Hero or Queen's Pastry Chef".
I didn't pay attention to the latter.
By the way, Mizuki Nomura has several other works, such as "Kiss Bad Dad", "Angel Baseball" and a bunch of short stories.
Let's not mention it here.
Let me say something casually.
Nomura Mizuki is simply the epitome of a development route of Japanese light novels.
A writer who was cheated by the industry.
And, although light novels are "easy-to-read novels", according to this algorithm, I think web articles can basically be regarded as light novels. [A family's words, no trolls] (remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
