“Rolls Camel, student.” “Yes, yes, sir…! R-Rolls Camel! Present!” “You don’t have to be so nervous. I’m not that great.” “N-no, sir!” Rolls Camel. The short-haired girl with wavy hair was stuttering in her nervousness—she was the very student I intended to borrow some skills from for my new piece. “Really. In fact, I need your help, Rolls Camel, which is why I set up this meeting.” “R-really…?” “Yes, indeed.” “Heh, heh-heh… Author Homer needs my help…” She…- 591.7 K • Ongoing
- When I first set foot in the literature of this world. In other words, when literature was nothing but bland knightly tales or cheap, tacky romances. I despaired. I had no confidence in surviving in a world without anything enjoyable. I had no courage to endure a life devoid of literature. “Sion.” “Yes, my lord.” “It’s great that more interesting novels are popping up these days. Don’t you think?” “I completely agree. It’s all thanks to your works, my lord.” So, I did what any…

- There are countless reasons why a work becomes “great.” Delicate sensitivity that strikes a chord with the soul, beautiful prose, sharp social critique, or a well-crafted worldview. Literature can achieve greatness for all sorts of reasons. And “The Count of Monte Cristo” was a piece that stood alongside many “great” classics in literary history, purely on the basis of its entertainment value alone. “Ah, this is what a novel is all about!” “When’s the next installment coming…

- The reactions of aspiring writers facing the mountain of “short stories” I had prepared changed over time. “Huhuh! This, this is an unpublished short story by Homer!” “I’m just glad to be alive… Huhuh…” “Homer is a god!” At first, everyone was over the moon. The aspiring writers, all fans of fiction, picked up the manuscripts and started reading with big grins at the thought of diving into unpublished works. However, as time went on, more and more students began to furrow their brows…

- At the fan meeting for author Homer, his opening speech titled “Let’s Read the Bible” got a lot of people reflecting on their faith. In today’s world, where magic engineering and deistic Enlightenment are on the rise, there were many believers in the Empire who were cool about ‘religious activities.’ They hadn’t denied God or turned their backs on faith. It was just that the modern age’s emphasis on reason and rationality had gobbled up the time for the passionate faith activities that…

- Romanticism is the soul of literature. Poetic imagination, personal insight, suffering—these elements, still considered symbols of art today, were crystallized into a paradigm through Romanticism. And the work that infused the spirit of Romanticism into literature was none other than… “This, this is—far too painful, isn’t it? But it’s incredibly beautiful… and, it feels like it’s stealing my soul…” It was none other than Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young…

- The third prince of the empire, Idris. Now, as Lady Es, she seemed lighthearted, like someone who had just put down a heavy load. Despite her noble bloodline, she looked as innocent as a country girl. “Honestly, I should have done this sooner! It’s so much easier leaving everything to Enoch. Haha. Now that I can come and go from the palace as I please, I’ll visit often, alright?” “Ah, yes….” “It hurts when you make it so obvious you don’t want me around…” “No, it’s just a bit……

- The sales of ‘The Little Prince’ character merchandise—only lifting purchasing restrictions for donations to welfare facilities like orphanages—received tons of attention and support from the public. Countless fan letters flooded into the publisher’s office. The Imperial Post Office even held an event where using ‘The Little Prince’ stamps upgraded your mail to express delivery, but funny enough, no one actually used them. ‘The Little Prince’ had officially become a symbol of love in the…

- Lucia Barton, the illustrator of “The Little Prince,” had been going through some tough times recently. “A drawing of a fox spreading its arms for a hug…?” “Yes, that’s right. The client promises not to skimp on the reward, and if you need it for your creative activities, unlimited support is also possible.” Wealthy patrons had started demanding deformed animal drawings—specifically, ones of a talking fox, alongside their offers of sponsorship. All they wanted was one thing: more fox…

- What I had asked President Dorling for my new project was pretty straightforward. “I want to hire an illustrator.” An illustrator. I needed a picture artist to breathe some life into the fairy tale. “Yes! I’ll bring in the empire’s best artist!” “Oh, I already have someone in mind.” “Excuse me?” “Could you bring me the list of participants from the last competition?” The ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ fan art contest. The format of the contest was completely open. Epic poems, novels,…
