In-depth analysis of the cover.

After the reader saw the new cover, the post he wrote on the community was uploaded to the hit gallery.

In the beginning, there were comments asking why this was uploaded to the hit gallery, but in the blink of an eye, those comments were buried and various other interesting comments started to appear.

Although the author of the post has already mentioned most of the interpretations, it has become a forum for discussion as the shortcomings are gradually supplemented.

Discussion in the post…

Of course, it’s uncomfortable to discuss in the comments.

So people went to chat sites and started discussing.

I’ve been watching that scene since a while ago, and somehow it seems like you have a better understanding of the world than I do.

As I watched him try to reason out things I hadn’t even thought of, I came across a few ideas that I thought would be good to use.

I am refraining from talking about the male protagonist to some extent, but I should say that there is a lot of content that is inferred by tying inadvertently thrown away rice cakes with other rice cakes.

Readers also seem to be suspicious of the fact that they intentionally give out less rice cakes.

“The female lead doesn’t remember because she came from another world, but the male lead and the female lead met when they were children…….Not bad.”

This twist isn’t too bad.

Since the male lead may have more affectionate feelings, the female lead, who comes from a world where men and women are reversed, will face new emotions.

“Hmm. It’ll be okay.”

I didn’t want to forget it, so I pasted it into the plot.

I have an idea, so I should use it when it is in perfect condition.

But if this happens, the story so far will have to change a little.

The stockpile will need major revisions.

“The cover reviews are good… The story reviews are also good…”

And from today, the work began to be sold on other platforms as well.

Free until episode 15… then paid.

Naturally, it is selling like hot cakes.

A highly accessible store even posted an apology saying that its server was down.

“Tsk… It’s not my fault.”

So let’s not worry about it for nothing.

I think other writers will understand, too….?

*

A very quiet company building.

Yes, it was definitely a very quiet office atmosphere until 30 minutes ago.

The reason it is in past tense is because subordinates are now running here and there, answering phones and making reports.

“Manager! Even if you add more servers, it keeps blowing up!”

“Ho…Homepage! The main homepage just exploded!”

“The reservation site and blog are also down!”

report…

That’s closer to a notification than a report.

Even if you reported something like that to me, there’s nothing I can do to resolve it right away.

No matter how small and light a web novel is, if hundreds of thousands of people access it at the same time and download and open an episode every two minutes, the traffic that must be handled increases exponentially.

The current situation is exploding no matter how much it increases.

I never imagined that something like this would happen because of the web novel site operated by our company.

Do you know why this situation happened?

This happened when a work that was being serialized on another site was serialized simultaneously.

Basically, each reader uses a different site.

That’s why writers and management look for various outlets to present web novels to a variety of readers.

Of course, this also applies to the companies we publish about.

When the web novel department contacted our server team yesterday, I wondered what was going on.

– Um… the ledger? There may be a server crash tomorrow, so please take care of it.

Ah… Director Kim, you bitch…

I should have looked into it when I asked for a favor in unclear language!!

“Manager! Now, the message “refresh” doesn’t even appear! Manager!”

“……Which server has a low connection rate right now?”

“This is a video platform!”

The video platform that consumes the most traffic has the lowest connection rate.

The users all know that the platform is already ruined, but it is surprising that the people above are not letting it go.

Is this going to be an allowance hole for people who live in swamps?

Even though I am at a loss, I leave it behind…

“And link it there.”

“Trigram…is it okay?”

“It’s okay because no one uses it anyway. And then allocate it to other servers little by little and break through.”

When things happen like this, I have no choice but to rush into this situation.

Rather than completely shutting down the server and getting criticized, it would be less likely to be broken if you allocate other servers and connect to them.

“And then contact the company and continue to allocate as much as possible for expansion.”

“Yes. Okay!”

Still, thanks to my obedient subordinates, I won’t have to write a condolence letter.

See you later… Manager Kim…

However, we are continuing to optimize and expand servers, so it is stabilizing.

I’m sorry to the users, but it is possible to slow down the download speed to barely overflow.

Of course, this is a temporary measure.

Since it is certain that it will explode again around 18:00, which is the closing time, we need to use this opportunity to clear the highway properly.

“First, contact the main site department to block membership registration.”

“Is it okay?”

“If you don’t block membership registration now, it will happen again. And it also blocks things like bear jelly charging.”

Bear jelly is a paid commodity needed to read web novels and webtoons.

If you can’t purchase it, you will have no choice but to use goods you already have or free-view goods.

“Director. I guess that won’t work.”

“Tch…. Then what else is there?”

” How about lowering the sound quality of the music streaming platform? ”

“That’s okay. Employee Oh is definitely the best employee of the year.”

I continued to secure traffic by doing things that even a little thought would not have allowed me to do.

For some reason, I felt like the more I weakened the server and brought it down, the more pleasure I felt.

***

– A server outage occurred on all sites operated by Chorokchorok…

“Kuhm…”

While I was eating, I heard the news playing on the TV in the living room and cleared my throat.

The chat platform didn’t even work, but I never thought the news would report it so intensively.

So now, stories about my web novel are constantly appearing in the news.

I am grateful for the free publicity, but some broadcasting companies are trying to witch-hunt my work, claiming that it is the cause of the server crash.

“Tsk tsk… You can’t make news without manipulation.”

In addition, they are saying strange things, saying that the distribution management and author are also responsible.

People who don’t know anything will hear that and think it’s my fault, right?

Of course, the broadcaster’s suggestion box is on fire to the extent that it resembles a community.

I’ll have to see if I can do something legally later.

Do you think they know that the broadcast they are currently broadcasting is fueled with oil?

If you knew that, you wouldn’t do something like that.

“Oh my… why on earth are you doing that?”

Sister Yehwa didn’t seem to like it, so she jumped up from her seat, turned off the TV in the living room, and sat down.

Minji and the editor, who saw that, laughed bitterly and brought the egg rolls and stir-fried soya that were on the table in front of her.

“Because the broadcasting station’s job is to turn off the aggro.”

“Now, don’t worry too much and eat a lot.”

“Right? Maybe I care too much?”

Meanwhile, Yehwa put the egg rolls and stir-fried soya in her mouth and ate them with great enjoyment.

I also laughed bitterly when I saw that and got up from my seat and took out two bowls.

Egg rolls and stir-fried soya are our main side dishes.

They always make a lot, so when you eat it all, you just have to scoop it up.

Oh, by the way, I decided to stop buying and eating side dishes.

I’m not really good at cooking, but I wanted to make it myself because I thought Yehwa would be home too.

“Are the egg rolls delicious? I put a lot of vegetables the way my sister likes it.”

“Yes. They say that egg rolls are delicious when they contain a lot of green onions and carrots.”

Minji likes cheese, so she rolled it separately.

However, cheese egg rolls will make you gain a lot of weight.

“Siwoo. Does anyone other than us know that you write web novels?”

“Um… I guess not?”

“Our Siwoo. I guess I was really stuck at home.”

“Kuhhh…”

Since I have lived a hikikomori life for a long time, I have nothing to say.

Before my sister went up to Sejong City, I even warned her not to stay confined to her room but to come out and be active.

I’m sorry for no reason.

Because I didn’t keep such a simple promise.

“Oppa oppa. I already told my friends, so I know about 4 more people.”

“That’s right. Come to think of it, something like that happened, right?”

There are a total of 8 people, including 4 of Minji’s soft-spoken friends.

There really is nothing else than that, right?

“I only told my friends. My brother writes web novels.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“I didn’t either.”

“I……”

wait for a sec…

What did I say while drunk at the reunion?

I said I was doing a writing job, but I think I accidentally said I was writing web novels…?

It may not seem like it…

It’s frustrating.

I feel like I’m going to die of frustration because I can’t come to a proper conclusion.

“Oppa. Did you have an accident again?”

“I didn’t hit it. Probably didn’t say it.”

“Indeed~ I think I said something~”

But I guess you didn’t say you were writing a novel.

Did you even say that?
