CATDOLL: The author of "Oregairu" Watari said in an interview that he couldn't write a good plot

"My Teen Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected" can be said to be one of the most popular light novels in recent years, and the animation adapted from the original work is also widely discussed. As the fame of the work expands, the popularity of the original author Watari Kou naturally rises. However, when he was interviewed by the media recently, he said: I can't write a gentle world with my pen.

Q: In the comments section of the questionnaire, someone said: After reading the last chapter of Volume 9, it was a relief to see that the cold war between the few people was finally resolved after such a long period of entanglement.

Wataru: I was relieved to be able to finish writing this part (laughs). But that kind of relationship shouldn't be called a cold war. Because when I was writing, I thought, "I am more entangled in real life than this!"

There are many works now that construct a gentle worldview, so I will fight back through this work.

In other work, I have heard people say: "Today's audiences and readers are mentally fragile, so it's better not to develop such a bitter and sad story..." But I always think: "We should have more trust in the audience and readers! Everyone should be stronger!"

Although I also like works where girls are happy and cute and chirp, and I like this kind of gentle world, but it is still not easy for me to write such things.

In this regard, many netizens have also commented:

1. Those otakus who are not interested in My Oregairu can just read mass-produced harem light novels and adapted animations for the rest of their lives.

2. That's too exaggerated. If you have the guts, please delete the scenes involving the younger sister, Totsuka, Yukinoshita, Yuigahama and the teacher from this work, and only write about Zaimokuza!

3. It is because he believed in the readers and the audience that he did not write a gentle world, so he has such high popularity. The author's judgment is correct.

4. Actually, although the Great Teacher is always lonely, he is trusted by two beautiful girls and has a leader personality at the level of a modern person. As a result, the otakus project themselves onto the Great Teacher.

5. Alas, basically the typical light novel has the plot of "the heroine encounters a crisis" - "calls for help" - "the hero comes out and easily solves it". But Oremonu is different from this, so it became popular. Alas, whether it is gentle or strict, as long as it meets the requirements of the work, it is fine.
