tokyo writer

During this period of time, his life has not been smooth.

After the publication of his single book "Footsteps of Search", the initial momentum was not bad, and the sales volume was satisfactory.But I didn't expect that after only one month, sales began to decline sharply.

During this process, many book reviewers also made troubles, thinking that this book was too tired and powerless, lacking unconstrained reasoning and design techniques, and some radical book reviewers even directly scolded him for lack of writing talent.

After many criticisms, the sales of the book fell to the point of appalling.

From this point of view, if you can sell 4 copies within a year, it is already considered a good achievement.

In addition to the unsatisfactory sales of the booklet, he has also suffered a lot of infamy recently.

Although no one said it publicly, he knew that many people in Mandansha talked about him behind his back, thinking that he was a thief who stole the "Akihara Hiroto" achievement, and said some very outrageous things.

Although Daigo Kihara helped to suppress these rumors, the more people suppress rumors, the more people will talk about them.

For all that he has experienced, Men Xieyou really feels deeply unwilling, and at the same time has a little bit of regret.

But he regretted it for a few days, and let himself lose this emotion.In his opinion, instead of regretting it, it is better to let those who gossiping think that they are not as good as Akihara Yuren take a good look.

I am also powerful!

In order to achieve this goal, during the release of the booklet, he wrote another work and submitted it to the Newcomer Award for Reasoning Literature.

But in the process of writing, he found that he couldn't get rid of the trick theory that Akihara Yuto had talked about at the writer's gathering, which made him feel humiliated, and hated Akihara Yuto even more!

Forget it, don't think too much, Uncle Kihara has already promised to kill Akihara Yuto.

No matter how talented the other party is, without the support of book reviewers, they will be lost to everyone in a few years.By that time, I had already become the backbone of the neon literary world by virtue of the many works I had accumulated.

The door association Youzhen let go of his apprehension, opened the envelope, and looked at the contents inside.

"Dear Menxie teacher, your work "Carriage No. 28" did not pass the preliminary screening of this reasoning literature newcomer award review meeting, I hope you..."

Seeing this line of words, Menxie You really felt his eyes go dark, and then his whole body lost his strength. He slumped on the chair, unable to speak for a while...

Is it true that I really don't have the talent to write, as those book reviewers said?

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Akihara Yuto, the theory that the other party said, and his latest work "Suspect X".

If the other party participates in this newcomer award, they should be easily nominated, right?

Thinking of this, he felt deeply unwilling!

At the same time he hated fate.

Why is Amaterasu so unfair to give a person so many talents! ?

Matsushima and Hiro also sighed deeply when they saw the door association Yuma's look like a lost dog...

In his opinion, Menxie Youzhen's talents have been exhausted, and his time has also come to a standstill.

It is meaningless to be the editor in charge of such a writer.

So, let the higher-ups pass your transfer application as soon as possible...

[Chapter 137.136 Asano Aiko's plan]

Garden Restaurant, Chiyoda Ward.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Hiroto Akihara waited for Aiko Asano at the door, and walked into the store with her, and was arranged by the waiter for four seats by the window in the non-smoking area.

After sitting down, the two each ordered a pork chop rice and pasta, and began to talk.

Hiroto Akihara coughed lightly, then took out the envelope of the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature from his pocket, and put it in front of Aiko Asano, "Asano, this is what I want to tell you?"

"Huh?" Asano Aiko was a little confused.

She was a little curious, so she picked up the envelope and saw the words "Mystery Writers Association" on it. Immediately afterwards, she opened the envelope, took out the invitation letter, and read it carefully.

"...your work "Death by Wrongdoing" was successfully shortlisted..."

After reading this line, her beautiful eyes widened involuntarily.

"Akihara, congratulations!" Asano Aiko said happily, she didn't expect Akihara Yuto to be shortlisted for the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature.

As an all-neon literary award, this award far surpasses the Man Tan Han Literary Award in terms of status and influence.

Although it has the name of the Newcomer Award, in fact, the range of writers it selects includes all writers who debuted within 15 years. In terms of gold content, it can be regarded as second to none.

Hiroto Akihara shook his head, "Currently it's just shortlisted, and no specific winners have been announced yet, and I may not be able to win the award."

"No, I believe that with your talent, you must be able to succeed." Asano Aiko said to Akihara Yuto with a serious attitude.

For her, failing to let Akihara Hiroto win the Mandansha Literature Award was already a shame that she could not bear to look back on.

During that period of time, she felt that she was very incompetent, and she didn't even know how to use her attitude to face Akihara Youcai.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that Yuuto Akihara would not blame her...

But no matter what, it was a knot in her heart.

When Akihara Hiroto heard Asano Aiko's "approval", he could only nod his head to show that he would do his best.

But whether he can really win the award, he really has no idea in his heart. Apart from not selecting the works for submission at the beginning, he is also worried about other reasons.

After thinking for a while, Hiroto Akihara raised doubts: "Asano, will Mandansha intervene in the selection of the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature?"

This has to be guarded against. After all, Mandanshe can block itself without any rumors, so it is not impossible to prevent yourself from receiving rewards through some influence.

Hearing this question, Asano Aiko also began to think about it. After a while, she replied: "Akihara, do you know about the Mystery Writers Association?"

Hiroto Akihara thought for a while, and replied: "It seems to be an association formed by a group of senior reasoning writers. The reasoning writer we met at Tokyo Women's University before seems to be one of them."

In the previous life, the Neon Mystery Writers Association was formed by Edogawa Ranpo, who is known as the "Father of Neon Detective Reasoning", but I really don't know much about the Mystery Writers Association in this world.

Asano Aiko nodded, and then asked back: "Akihara, let me give you an example. If you were a judge, a publishing house with great influence asked you to cheat. Would you agree?"

Akihara Hiroto was silent for a while, and then gave an answer: "No."

In his previous life, as a graduate student of the Department of Literature, he had participated in many essay competitions, and because he hated any results that might be falsified from the bottom of his heart.

Aiko Asano was not surprised by this answer, and said, "Then why do you think the judges of the Mystery Writers Association accept the influence of Mandansha?"

Hearing these words, Akihara Yuto understood Aiko Asano's comforting heart, and said with a smile: "I understand, Asano, don't worry."

Seeing Hiroto Akihara excited, Aiko Asano also showed a smile.

In fact, she just used a sophistry method, so that Akihara Hiroto didn't have to worry too much about this aspect.
