But in fact, anyone who has a little understanding of the awarding rules knows that he is the real person in charge of the literary award and decides the final award.What's more, the sect association Youzhen's relationship with his daughter can't be hidden...

In this case, if Akihara Hiroto's works can still sell well after leaving Mandansha, it will inevitably attract some criticism of himself, such as accusations of driving away talented writers.

However, if Hiroto Akihara's single volume can only sell 6 to 7 copies, it can only be considered a pass, not a bestseller.

At that time, I can arrange some people to advocate "Genius Falls"...

Kihara Daigo thought for a while, then sat down again, "If the sales volume is only so small, don't worry about it."

Matsushima Kazuhiro smiled wryly, and replied: "Minister, with all due respect, when Hiroto Akihara joined "New Novel", the weekly sales volume of the new novel was only 3 copies, which was once on the verge of being scrapped. But the final result How, you should know something."

After a pause, he said in a more sincere tone: "I have carefully read this work called "The Devotion of Suspect X" twice. Out of personal opinion, I don't think it is an exaggeration to sell 2 copies."

Hearing these words, Kihara Daigo was surprised. He didn't expect Matsushima and Hiro to have such a high opinion of Akihara Hiroto's new work. Immediately afterwards, he sank down. After all, Matsushima and Hiro had something to say. Makes sense.

A few months ago, the sales volume of "New Novel" was barely 3 copies.Some people even proposed to change "New Fiction" from a weekly magazine to a monthly magazine, or to abolish the magazine directly, during the ministerial decision-making meeting.

At that time, I thought about arranging the door association Youzhen to "Tokyo Literature and Art". After all, even if I couldn't become the chief writer, it would be better than what happened to the abandoned magazine...

But unexpectedly, after Hiroto Akihara started serializing, he suddenly turned around.

Kihara Daigo became entangled. If it is true that Akihara Hiroto’s works can be sold like Matsushima and Hiroshi said, then some suppressed voices will rise again, and he will also have some troubles...

This has to be guarded against, and it seems that some arrangements must be made.

"Editor Matsushima, I already understand the situation, so you don't have to take over the work of Akihara Yuto, and I will arrange other people to take charge later."

Matsushima and Hiro breathed a sigh of relief, he really has nothing to do with Akihara Yuto now.But he thought of another question, if Hiroto Akihara doesn't restart the serialization, what will happen to the sales of "New Novel"?

Forget it, go back and think about it... It's really a headache...

Matsushima Kazuhiro stood up, bowed to Kihara Daigo and left.Daigo Kihara looked at his background and thought for a while.Immediately afterwards, he picked up the receiver and dialed an internal number.

"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Takei, come to my office and talk to you about something."

……

When Kihara Daigo and Takei Kohei were discussing countermeasures, Akihara Hiroto was sitting at the desk, thinking about the idea he had in the Internet cafe before—whether it is feasible to divert people from the Internet to physical books.

Akihara Hiroto closed his eyes, put his hands on his chest, turned the chair, and pondered.

The Internet in this world has only been developed for a few years, so there are no reference cases.

But judging from the memories of previous lives, there are actually many related cases-many books became popular after being serialized on the Internet, and readers loved the house and black, and were driven to buy other offline physical books of the author.

Moreover, among the thousands of replies under the post of "Reasoning Taxi", many replies said that they wanted to buy "New Novel", which proved this point.

Therefore, drainage should be feasible in this regard.

That being the case, which work should be produced.

Hiroto Akihara stood up, took two steps back and forth, thought for a long time, and finally decided to find a foreign work and adapt it.In this way, even if you fail in the end, you will not feel distressed.

If so, how about this one?

He sat down at the table again, took out a pen and paper, and wrote the name "Knives Unsheathed".

This story is about a mystery novelist who was found to have committed suicide in his manor the day after his birthday.

Immediately afterwards, a detective was invited to the manor to investigate.But the detective found that every member of the family was suspected of murder...

Hiroto Akihara thought about the replaceable elements in his mind for a while, and then started to write.He plans to divide this novel into 6 parts and finish serializing it in 6 weeks.

After 4 hours, he finished the first part, which was almost 1 words long.

Akihara Hiroto checked the content in front of him, nodded in satisfaction, then changed into his out-of-the-way clothes, walked out of the house, and walked towards the Internet cafe.

Tonight, he plans to publish the first part on the Internet first...

[109.1 Chapter [-] The Death of a Mystery Novelist]

Setagaya Ward, AIC Classic Internet Cafe.

Toki Ippei sat in a cubicle in the corner of the Internet cafe, clicking the mouse under the dim light.

He is a NEET (a group of people who do not work and do not go to school), and live purely on the pension of his parents.But he thinks it's not his fault, it's purely a social problem.

If it wasn't for the economic crisis, how could he not be able to find a job!

Toki Ippei sighed, and quarreled with his family again today, so let's go back later.

He let go of his worries, tapped the keyboard, and opened the mystery novel forum he frequented.Although he is a Niter, he is also a reasoning fan.

This forum is no less than spiritual sustenance for him.

On this forum, there are more than 5 active netizens like him.Although the identities of all netizens are different, there is one thing in common, that is, everyone loves mystery novels from the bottom of their hearts, even to the point of spiritual food.

Toki Ippei skillfully pressed the keyboard and entered his account password.After successfully logging in, he began to browse, ready to see if there were any interesting topics or posts.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a top post titled "Death of a Mystery Novelist".

Toki Ippei frowned. After seeing the title, he suspected that this post was intended to deliberately cause disputes.

In recent years, although the genre of neon mystery novels is still dominated by the original school, works of the social school, the metamorphosis school, etc. are still emerging in an endless stream, and there are even court school, suspense school, cold-hearted school and other schools.

Because they like the different styles of works, supporters of different factions often attack each other, and even lead to scolding wars.

Some people are even more dissatisfied that the reasoning of the Benge School still occupies the mainstream position, and even accused all mystery novelists. While insulting the writers of the Benge School, they also attacked writers of other factions as waste.

Toki Ippei is very dissatisfied with these. For him, since he is a reader and a fan, shouldn't it be enough to read the works quietly? Why should he attack and criticize each other?

And the more factions of reasoning, the richer the works of reasoning, doesn't it prove the prosperity of the world of reasoning novels?

Is it necessary for a certain faction to fight until a certain faction becomes the mainstream?

Toki Ippei didn't hesitate, and was about to open this post, but before opening it, he had already prepared in his heart, if it was still those random criticisms with nothing to say, he was ready to scold directly.

Idiot, idiot, red deer, you know nothing about mystery novels, how can you say that mystery novelists are dead!

With this skill, why don't you write an article yourself, you idiot?There is so much time to criticize others, it is better to see what skills you have.Since you can't write it, then you are the garbage of the society. It is recommended to apologize directly by cutting open your stomach!

Just scolding like that, that's right, I guess I can scold the subject of this topic out of the shadows in my heart!Don't make the forum such a mess!

Toki Ippei took a sip of the drink on the table, then clicked on the post and began to browse.

Huh?Doesn't seem to be the case?

Toki Ippei was surprised to find that the title of this post was "Death of a Mystery Novelist", and the content seemed to be a mystery novel...
