……

After the book review was finished, the meeting was able to continue, and Akutsu Goichi also used this to announce the publication of "Death of a Mystery Novelist".

The first proofreading work was done by Satake Maki, and Yakutsu Goichi completed the second and third schools. After all the proofreading was completed, Akihara Yuto went through the overall review.

On the cover, a monochrome cover is used this time, with the title of the book and the author's name highlighted, and no other designs are made.As for the main color, another meeting will be held to discuss.

The printing work continued to be taken over by Sota Nishijima, and he continued to cooperate with the plate making factory, printing factory and logistics company responsible for "Suspect X".As for the number of first editions, it is also set at around 3 copies.

As for sales and publicity, Anjiu Bookstore will not participate in other aspects except for the trial reading meeting and signing meeting.

After all work arrangements were completed, Akihara Hiroto rejected Akutsu Goichi's proposal to have dinner together, and walked out of the publishing house.

He walked to a public phone booth on the side of the road, put in coins, picked up the receiver, and made a call.

"Asano, I'm Akihara, I hope you can help me get a message from Mandansha..."

[133. Testimonials on the shelves]

It will be on the shelves at 12 o'clock tomorrow, and I feel a little emotional.

Let me talk about the update rules first: 5 updates on the day of release, 3 chapters will be updated every day after that, and 4 chapters will be updated every day if you have the ability...

Having said this, I will briefly say a few words.

The writing process of this book took me a lot of hard work.

Before opening the book, in order to fit reality as much as possible.I went to HowNet and the library to check a lot of materials, and integrated the relevant materials into document links. There are thousands of them.

In addition, I wrote a full 40 words (longer than the current text) for the outline (or detailed outline) of this book.So I dare say, at least before thousands of chapters, it is impossible for this book to collapse.

It took me almost two and a half months to finish all these efforts, and it has taken me another two months since I started the book.

During this time, apart from helping some former business friends to write manuscripts to make ends meet, I basically had no income...

Now that I've finished talking about being pitiful, let me talk about my other thoughts.

In terms of character design, many people think that there is a problem with the way the protagonist gives back to Asano, and they think that they should just quit "April Youth" and give it a try. This sounds right, but they have never considered Aiko Asano's feelings, let alone considered RB's special national conditions.

RB is a country that pays great attention to "shame" culture (ashamed of not paying taxes, ashamed of receiving security deposits).The relationship between people is very delicate. Sometimes, with just a single sentence, the relationship between two people can change from friends to strangers.

If the protagonist changes jobs during the cooperation with Asano, the only result of the two is that they will never communicate with each other, and the latter will also refuse Akihara's support because of the influence of "shame" culture, which is not in line with Akihara's personality.

In addition, as for the dispute over the extent of the career line (workplace, literary giant, and relationship line), I can only say that it is difficult to change according to my current outline (after all, I have already made a 40-word outline).After all, I am just a newcomer, and it is already very difficult to write down the outline.

To be honest, because of these controversies and criticisms, I once wanted to cut the book, but thought about it.If I cut the book, how can I be right for the readers who have been chasing the book until now, the editor who gave me a lot of recommendations, and the wife who supports me.

Therefore, I am very grateful to all the readers who have been following me for supporting me until today, and I am also very grateful to the editor for encouraging my works, and finally thank you, my wife, for not slapping my novel dream to death...

Now the only income is subscription, everyone can support it...

No matter what, I will work hard to write this book!

Thank you all.

[Chapter 134.133 The real reliance]

Wednesday night at 7:[-], GK District, Tokyo, Chacez Western Restaurant.

Hiroto Akihara and An Jiujin came to this western restaurant early in the morning and reserved a booth for four people near the corner.

After waiting for more than 10 minutes, I saw the book reviewer Kawada Keiji they invited.

After seeing the visitor, Yuto Akihara bowed and introduced himself without waiting for An Jiujin to introduce him: "It's the first time we meet, Mr. Kawada, I am Yuto Akihara, the author of "Suspect X". Please give me your advice."

After saying this, he straightened up and handed over his business card.

Kawata Keiji nodded, took the business card, introduced himself politely, and handed over his own business card.

As soon as An Jiujin saw that the social etiquette was over, he called a waitress from the restaurant and ordered Western-style meals such as steak and red wine.

After the waiter delivered the red wine, Keiji Kawata coughed and asked a question: "President Yasuhisa, Mr. Akihara, you called me here today. Is there any problem?"

Akihara Yuto did not answer immediately, but replied with a smile: "No, the purpose of inviting you today is mainly to thank you for publishing the book review of "Suspect X."

Hearing this, Kawada Keiji shook his head instead, "Mr. Akihara, this has nothing to do with me. If President Yasuhisa didn't pay a special visit, I probably wouldn't know about this book."

As soon as An Jiujin sat aside, he laughed loudly and said, "Where is that?" Then he politely poured wine for the other two.

Keiji Kawada took a sip from his wine glass, and then said: "Besides, the most important thing is that the quality of "Suspect X" has been recognized by me, otherwise, I would not write a review for this book, or even Maybe write a bad review.”

Hearing this explanation, Akihara Yuto smiled awkwardly. If he really wanted to get a bad review, he would have the heart to stab the other party to death.

After all, if this is the case, the word-of-mouth and sales of the book will be greatly affected.

At this time, the male waiter in waiter uniform served the three people's dinners one by one. The three picked up the knife and fork, and had a conversation while eating.

"Mr. Kawata, besides thanking you, I have a small question." Hiroto Akihara cut the steak and replied in a casual tone.

"Excuse me, but I can't guarantee whether I will answer." Kawata Keiji replied.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, then put down his knife and fork, and asked, "About your book review of "Suspect X", why did you choose to publish it in "Inference Literature" instead of "Chiba Daily News?"

"That's it?" Kawata Keiji was a little surprised, he thought Akihara Yuto had already known.

Seeing Akihara Hiroto's puzzled expression, he thought for a while, put down his knife and fork, and answered the question in a serious tone.

"Mr. Akihara, President Anjiu, and Mandansha have already conducted public relations with all the media in Tokyo and surrounding areas, demanding that your work be treated coldly. In other words, you have already been blocked by the other party."

After a pause, he added: "So in order to publish this book review, I can only choose a professional newspaper that is not a media company."

Akihara Yuto and An Jiujin Gang were both stunned, they didn't expect to get this answer.

It is unbelievable that a publishing house, one of the top four giants in the industry, suddenly wants to ban a writer who has only debuted for half a year.

After all, although the comparison between the two is not as exaggerated as the comparison between a giant elephant and an ant, it is almost the same from another level.

As soon as An Jiujin took a breath, he subconsciously glanced at Akihara Yuto, and began to doubt whether it was the right decision to cooperate with him.

Although he has earned a lot of money now, if he wants to offend a giant, it seems that the loss outweighs the gain.

On the other side, Hiroto Akihara frowned and thought about it.

Who would target themselves like this?Daigo Kihara?Takei Kohei?

It seems that no one else has a motive besides these two, but if they do this, what is their intention?

Kawada Keiji cut a piece of beef and fed it into his own mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth, and continued, "Teacher Akihara, you don't have to worry too much."

Akihara Yuto was thinking about it, but he didn't expect the other party to give such a statement, so he asked back: "Do you have any ideas?"
