I liked this one quite a bit more than Henneko. The MC is a cram school teacher who moonlights as an LN author but has become disillusioned with both industries. He gets blackmailed into helping one of his students with writing her own LN and I’m looking forward to seeing him regain his passion as both a teacher and a writer through helping her.

Wasn’t sure how well the cram school & author settings were going to mesh, but it actually works quite well; probably because Sagara Sou himself used to work as a cram school teacher while writing Henneko. It really added to the realism of the struggles the MC faces while navigating both the education system and the publishing industry, and trying to juggle what he wants to accomplish within the boundaries of what his jobs actually let him do.
