If I had to describe this manga in a sentence it's about a young light novel writer, Utaha, who is being worked to the bone and is having to deal with corporate greed meddling with her art (also she happens to have a one sided crush on her editor, Tomoya).
There are very few romantic developments and on top of that, as I've already mentioned, they're all extremely one sided. It's not because Tomoya's the dense type of MC who's completely oblivious, the opposite actually, he is aware of her feelings, he just chooses to ignore them for the sake of professionalism.
The only reciprocal expression of love in the entire manga is found in the last chapter and not only does it feel forced, it's very underwhelming as well.
I have been fairly critical so far but I don't believe this manga is all that bad, I simply feel the way I do because I was convinced it was a romcom so I expected romance.
However as a manga about the light novel industry it's pretty interesting, although a little shallow in terms of detail. Personally I would've preferred if the author went all in with the light novel industry theme and shed light on this world much more than they did.
So in conclusion, it's a decent-ish portrayal of the light novel industry with some very sparse romance seasoning. If you're looking for a manga that'll make your heart skip a beat this is not it, but if you are curious about how light novels are made and would enjoy a little bit of drama to go along with it then this for you.
