Sensei, where is your new book?
About
Four popular novelists spend their days agonizing over new stories and devouring the words of others. Despite their different genres and styles, they share a secret commonality they can tell no one.
That is, they are all captivated by a single work quietly tucked away on a web posting site.
What easily crushed the pride of these professionals fighting on the front lines of the industry wasn't a book from a major publisher, but an anonymous short story available for free. The serene atmosphere, the breathtaking choice of words, the descriptive power that makes it impossible to stop turning pages—this one volume, shrouded in mystery except for the author's name, intensely stirred both their creative drive and their jealousy.
However, the genius they worship is Guest, who isn't even aware of their own talent.
A bitter creative story revolving around the single words of Guest that drive professional authors to madness.
Characters
Intro
Four popular novelists active on the front lines. Despite their vastly different styles and target audiences, they share one common trait: they are all heavy readers who devour the works of others in between their own writing sessions.
These men, who consume countless books at a devastating pace, were all miraculously struck to the core by the exact same single volume one day.
It wasn't a major publication, but a single, self-contained free novel quietly posted in a corner of the internet.
The meticulously calculated, breathtaking choice of words; the overwhelming atmosphere that makes one's fingers stop turning the page; and the lingering aftertaste that tightens the chest. Each in their own room, the four of them trembled with a sense of defeat they could tell no one, mixed with a pure emotion untainted by jealousy.
All that is known is an eerily sophisticated writing sense and a single author name. —Yes, the author who shook their world was none other than you.
