The Novelist Who Leapt Through Time Episode 203
““Brother, how did this happen?”
The confusion eventually spread to the practice room. The youngest, Min Hyo-chan, whose pink hair had turned dark after a long time since his active period had ended, looked at me with anxious eyes.
Of course, looking at him like that didn’t give him an answer. However, the leader’s role was to erase the anxiety in those eyes.
“I don’t know, right? But it won’t be a big deal, I guess.”
“The atmosphere is so scary… … .”
“Let’s stop worrying and practice hard.”
At this time, I often said that I should just stop worrying and practice. That was how he comforted the anxious members.
But more than anything else, I was concerned about the current situation. I pretended not to be anxious and was more anxious than anyone else.
I am also twenty-one now. If I hadn’t been an idol, I would have gone to college. Maybe he went to the military.
But I was an idol. Instead of going to college and putting off military service, I was dancing and singing.
Then something had to be done.
When I told my parents that I was going to become an idol, as you said, I went off the rails.
We have already deviated from the ‘normal’ path of life.
If so, it should be extraordinarily successful. Only then can you be treated like a human being. To my parents, my fans, and myself… … .
Every time I went to bed, these thoughts seemed to weigh heavily on my heart.
A feeling of suffocating pressure.
The chaotic atmosphere at work was like adding another iron to my heart.
To ease my anxiety, I approached people at work and asked them the whole story.
I didn’t get an answer that really eased my anxiety.
“… … “Baekhak Entertainment might be disbanded?”
EP 12-Marionette
The crisis of the failure of the second album and the company’s chaos, the sadness and agony of the immature young man ‘Lee Soo’ who is seething in the midst of it, and the pressure and responsibility of ‘Lee Soo’, the leader of the boy group Rapid Boys.
This was already literature in itself.
Thanks to that, it didn’t take much effort to write this novel, Oops, ‘Worldview Setting Collection’.
My role in this work was not ‘creation’ but ‘adaptation’.
What can I say, it felt like a remake of a famous original work like Harry Potter, One Piece, Naruto, Haikyuu, Hiroaka, and Jujutsuken fanfiction that Yuna used when she was in middle school.
I can say that it was quite a fun and useful time.
I also received a lot of help from those around me in terms of historical research.
In any case, our ‘world view collection’, which was completed through the efforts of many people and has absolutely nothing to do with reality… … .
“It’s not possible!”
was brutally rejected.
“Absolutely not!”
“Why?”
“Uh, why?! “There’s no way a collection of settings like this can be tolerated!”
Song Ji-heon, head of Management Office 1, obstructed our path to the point where it was almost a struggle.
I heard that the former manager went to fry chicken, but it seems that the chicken restaurant that is floating in front of me has made me feel smaller.
Tsk, I wasn’t going to use this method… … .
For the first time in a while, I tilted my head with pure and bright eyes to look at my age.
Like a child who doesn’t know anything about adults’ circumstances.
“What’s the problem?”
“… … !”
However, Director Song Ji-heon showed a creepy reaction as if he had seen a ghost in the form of a child.
“S-No way… … Don’t you know what’s wrong… … ?”
“… … ?”
“Is this the madness of genius…? … .”
Damn, it seems that doesn’t work for high school students.
Even though I drank milk like that, I thought it would work because my height was the same as when I was in middle school… … .
At this time, Lee Soo took a step forward and raised his voice.
“Chief, we are ready.”
Director Song Ji-heon, who used to speak highly to me, was shy about speaking to Lee Soo and raised his voice instead.
“What’s the use of determination! “Does this make sense?”
“Isn’t this a situation where we shouldn’t do anything like this?”
“hey! Choi Yi-soo, are you crazy?!”
“Yes, it’s crazy. “I feel like I’m going crazy every day, so I need to do something!”
No, that.
“excuse me… … .”
I was about to say that I feel a little sad when someone else’s novel is treated like a shrimp boat, a prescription for medicine to be taken when life is backed into a corner.
This is because the argument between Director Song Ji-heon and Lee Soo became more and more extreme.
“So you’re attacking the headquarters? Are we all going to die together? you?”
“Can’t people who make art say things like this?”
“You can’t speak! And since when have you been making art?! This thing has only grown thicker now… … !”
“If you’re not going to do art, why are you staying at this company?”
“hey!”
I intervened before their argument became more violent.
“I understand exactly what you are concerned about, but the significance of this work is not to attack the Baekhak Group, but to describe the current situation that Rapid Boys is facing in as literary a manner as possible. “It is a realist world view, so to speak.”
Lee Soo, who had somewhat regained his composure, added:
“you’re right. This is not noise marketing. The members communicated for a really long time, and all of our agony, effort, and direction went into this book. “Is there a better world view than this?”
Director Song Ji-heon did not answer this question.
Instead, he said this:
“I’m sorry, writer Moonin. I will cancel the worldview writing request that I mentioned earlier. “Please go back now.”
That’s how I got kicked out of management room 1.
As soon as I left the office, I heard the sound of a fight behind me.
In the cold atmosphere, everyone looks at me with worried eyes.
But it’s okay.
Because I still had a secret weapon left.
He is the one with the heart of a lion and the head of an octopus-
* * *
“no.”
Yangwook Lim cut my suggestion without any hesitation.
It was a shock.
Who is Yangwook Lim?
Isn’t this Lim Yang-wook from ?
Is Lim Yang-wook, a warrior who is the only child in the world, a hero, warrior, and a warrior, really dead?
“You can’t look so shocked.”
“Tch.”
“Crazy guy… … Really crazy guy… … .”
For the first time in a while, Lim Yang-wook looked at me with a scared expression.
It looks like a satanic doll holding a kitchen knife and moving around.
Since I was from a Christian orphanage, I decided to prove that I was not possessed by Satan.
“Well, this is not a book targeting the Baekhak Group. After all, it is a collection of worldview settings created to promote Rapid Boys… … .”
“Where do you think this isn’t sniping?”
“Oh, and what, can’t I even mention this? It would have been okay if it was written as a fictitious fiction… … .”
Lim Yang-wook responded to my grumbling with a kind smile.
“Yes, yes, you are right. “This is fictitious content.”
“Look, as long as there is a fiction disclaimer, there is no legal problem-”
“When on earth did you say that the Baekhak Group attacked Baekhak Entertainment?”
“… … ?”
“Wasn’t it ‘innovative management’ to introduce global standards?”
“aha.”
“I really think that’s the chairman’s plot to take over Baekhak Entertainment. I should also write novels to a certain extent… … .”
“okay… … .”
I summarized Lim Yang-wook’s argument in one word.
“You don’t value your life.”
“… … !”
Lim Yang-wook was furious.
“hey! “Isn’t this because the president was in the strategic planning office that replaced Baekhak Entertainment at the time?”
“Oh, that’s right, right?”
“what? It did? This is an attempt to kill a family for a book… … .”
I’m not a very stage person.
I tend to ask for permission from the person involved.
“Boss Baek. “Can I tell you what happened back then in a novel?”
Baekseol, who was watering the succulents, smiled and nodded.
“yes!”
“president… … !”
It’s unfortunate for Lim Yang-wook, but Baek-seol, who recently shared the hobby of ‘growing succulents’ and started chatting on KakaoTalk several times a day with know-how on growing plants, is always on my side.
This is because among those who raise succulents, there are no bad ones.
“Oh, I’m going crazy because of this damn succulent cartel. Hey, if I start growing succulents or something, will you listen to me?”
“Succulents cannot be raised unless someone has a pure heart.”
“Plague.”
Lim Yang-wook tilted his chair back, lamenting as if he couldn’t live his company life with these old people.
And then, barely able to gather his wits, he warned me.
“But if it can’t be done, it can’t be done.”
“no way… … .”
“If you don’t like Baekhak Group, you should buy your books from Kyobo Bookstore or Aladdin from now on! “There’s no need for this!”
“I’m really not doing this because I don’t like it… … .”
“I don’t like it, but what kind of person is shooting internally? No matter what! Don’t change it! “Go back quickly!”
* * *
In the end, I had to turn back due to the evil Lim Yang-wook’s magic.
They said the discussion with the parties involved is over, but I don’t know why they’re doing this.
“Anyway, that’s how it happened… … .”
“ah… … .”
A sigh escaped from the lips of Rapid Boys leader Lee Soo.
The Rapid Boys members sitting next to them were no exception.
Everyone expressed disappointment at the news that Baekhak Bookstore’s publication, that is, Baekhak Bookstore’s promotion, had been frustrated.
“This is a true masterpiece… … .”
“Is there really no way to publish it?” … ?”
During the past few weeks while writing the ‘World View Collection’, the Rapid Boys members did not just sit in the practice room.
As it is a novel based on facts, testimony and historical research from the parties involved were essential.
Everyone participated in the writing, reducing their free time, and even visited the chicken restaurant of the first manager who had left the company for an interview.
As it was the result of everyone’s efforts, it would have been such a shame to disappear without being able to present it to the world.
Lee Soo spoke as if representing their feelings.
“Is this book really that problematic? … .”
I shook my head.
“Actually, it’s not that problematic.”
That’s what I saw.
In fact, the evil behavior that Baekhak Group showed against Baekhak Entertainment was not a big secret.
Numerous media outlets have already reported on the incident, and just by searching, you will find tens of thousands of Internet news articles.
And if I were to be honest, it was just a list of facts that were already known.
Moreover, since the core narrative of this worldview is not the anti-Baekhak group, but the survival story of Lee Soo, the head of the family, the theme is also one step away.
And if you want to use the expression ‘problematic’ in literature, you have to be imprisoned for publishing it. Whether it was Park Chang-woon or Seo Woon-pil, they would snort when they saw us doing this.
In this way, I am encouraged by Seonhyeon’s footsteps in technology, and I also want to take a step forward without hesitation.
“Why don’t we just publish a book ourselves?”
The advantage of the publishing business was that there was no need to have dozens of employees like the idol business.
Idols who did not know the world of publishing opened their eyes in astonishment.
“That’s it… … ? What we pay for ourselves… … ?”
I couldn’t answer right away.
This is because the person who asked this question was Min Hyo-chan, not Lee Soo.
“Senior Min, you’ve already published a book, so you should know this well, right?”
“I? when?”
Everyone looked at Min Hyo-chan in confusion.
Min Hyo-chan hit his knee after about 4 seconds.
“ah!”

The popular web novel, caused several controversies due to the unconventional long serial cycle and the writing roller coaster where the author seemed to change from time to time, but it was successfully completed to everyone’s applause after completing several years of long serialization not long ago. It has been done.
-Ah, it was the best web novel of my life… … .
-I pity the people who dropped out midway and didn’t see the ending… … .
-The Magic Swordsman… … ! dissolution… … !!!
-It’s not dissolution, it’s Buddhahood.
In fact, most of the controversies that ‘The Demon Swordman’ experienced were naturally resolved over time.
Why is the writing jagged? That’s because there are really multiple writers.
Why is the serialization cycle terrible? That’s because the main writer has a separate job.
Why is the pen name so strange? That’s because it was written in a high school club.
Although the writer, , did not come forward and mention it directly, it was thanks to their identity being gradually revealed through various media.
According to such information, the writing staff of ‘The Demon Swordman’ was as follows.
Genius boy, writer.
Cannes Best Actress Award, Kim Byeol.
Hugo Award, Gu Yuna.
People were once again impressed by this spectacular lineup and could not hide their wonder.
But there was still one mystery left… … .
That is the existence of ‘Min’.
Writer Kim Byul-gu Yuna and ‘Min’
Who is this ‘Min’?
What is the identity of the hidden genius who follows in the footsteps of the supernovas Moonin, Kim Byeol, and Gu Yuna?
Whenever fans who are looking forward to Demon Sword’s next work gather together and discuss it, the person who is always mentioned is this mysterious writer, ‘Min’.
They always wondered about the identity of the fourth genius.
And while I was curious, I was also disappointed that it would probably never be revealed.
The writer had already become so famous that it was impossible to expect him to return to the web novel industry.
But, breaking everyone’s expectations,
The next work of ‘Demon Swordman’ was posted under the same account.
-Demon Sword’s new work is out!
-Did you see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-It was ㄹㅇ?????
And surprisingly, their long-standing mystery was also solved.
This was because the web novel serial site had been remodeling and the character limit for nicknames was lifted from 8 characters.
Finally,
They were able to witness the fourth writer.
-Min Hyo-chan… … ! Was it Min Hyo-chan? … !!!
-Who is Hyochan?
-I don’t know
Anyway, from now on, you just have to look it up on the Internet to find out who Min Hyo-chan is.
That’s not what’s important now.
Let’s check out the first episode of ‘The Demon Sword”s next work.
Fortunately, readers did not have to enter the 10-character pen name one by one into the search box.
Their new work had already entered the main rankings.
The title was as follows:
「Marionette」
