Chapter 193 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 193

Writer A, operating as a promoter within the Dream Casino, spends the night meticulously crafting a dream scenario for a sleeping guest. He adjusts sensory details—changing background music to Ghibli-style jazz, altering the weather to rain, and emphasizing the establishment's Japanese aesthetic—to create a unique 'mod' of the standard tutorial fairy experience. The guest reacts positively, requesting expansion and offering payment, delighting Writer A. Driven by ego and profit, Writer A buys stew for his former colleagues, bragging about his successful venture with the 'tutorial fairy.' He explains how he leveraged his knowledge of cocktails and Japanese culture to create a niche market, despite the 50-50 revenue split with the fairies. The other writers, initially skeptical and envious, listen intently to his business model. Days later, Writer A returns to work to find his colleagues holding signs advertising their own writing services at the Dream Casino entrance. They claim to be 'Returning Writers,' offering specialized skills such as contemporary fantasy, business stories, romance, and TRPG mastery for low fees. Writer A initially feels humiliated and accuses them internally of plagiarism, noting that while they copied the concept of selling personalized dreams, they did not copy the specific 'cocktail bar' theme. However, he recognizes the familiar competitive spirit of the publishing industry, reminiscent of the pre-apocalypse web novel scene. Despite Writer A's internal dread regarding customer theft, the outcome is unexpected: the influx of writers does not cannibalize his business. Instead, the market expands. More writers join the fray, increasing the total number of dream sellers from eight to twenty, yet demand remains high enough to fill every slot. The writers realize they have collectively discovered a 'Blue Ocean' market—a previously untapped, highly profitable sector where competition does not lead to mutual destruction but rather to a collective bonanza in the dream-selling labor market.
