Good Feedback

Somewhere between a novel and a novelization is an unobservable gap. The word "novelization" has two meanings: a novel based on a movie script, and the process to make something into novel—that is, a novel and something like a novel, but different. Because of such ambiguity, the word “novelization” has been prejudiced by cultured people as well as ambitious writers, and as a result, the gap between novels and novelizations has grown wider. It's been almost a month since my new book on novelization was released, and I'm surprised that it has gotten good feedback from quite a few readers, especially from ones in the publishing business. I'd be glad if you were also able to observe what happens during the process of novelization through my research!
