tokyo writer

Thanks to the steady flow of royalties, he is no longer the unemployed young man who worries about the rent he can't afford.

So even if the taxi fare was expensive, he didn't take it too seriously.

"President Kawai, I've been waiting for a long time."

After Hiroto Akihara got out of the car, he found Chairman Kawai's office according to the words of the "Mediterranean" uncle at the front desk.

When he entered the door, he gave a box of souvenirs by the way, "This is the jade cake I bought at Tushan Shopping Street."

"Mr. Akihara, you don't have to be so polite." Shinta Kawai accepted the gift with a smile, and put it aside.

Then he opened the drawer, took out a brown paper that looked like a certificate, and handed it to Hiroto Akihara.

"This is the membership certificate of the Reasoning Writers Association, please keep it."

"Yes, thank you very much." Hiroto Akihara smiled and looked at the certificate carefully.

On this brown paper, there are some very simple patterns, similar to cherry blossoms, and surrounded by these cherry blossoms are two lines of Japanese written vertically - "Member of Mystery Writers Association Akihara Hiroto."

Hiroto Akihara nodded in satisfaction.

With this proof, he saved a lot of effort compared to other writers who debuted at the same time.

And with the help of the platform of the Reasoning Writers Association, he can also get to know a lot of contacts.

In the future, these contacts will be the basis for him to further climb the road of the literary world.

"That's disturbing."

Akihara Hiroto bowed again, and planned to leave first, after all, his goal for today has been achieved.

But to his surprise, Kawai Shinta waved his hand, "Mr. Akihara, if there is nothing important, why don't we have a brief chat."

"Let's talk?" Hiroto Akihara was a little puzzled, but he still agreed, and sat on the reception sofa in the office.

Kawai Shinta took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea.

"About your latest work, I have received some opinions from members."

He paused for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Qiuyuan, are you trying something new?"

Because of some news, he specifically went to Akihara Hiroto's "The Invisible Guest" to watch, but to his surprise, the logic and structure of this work were very different.

In other words, it doesn't even look like a work that Neon people can write.

That's why he deliberately kept Akihara Yuto down, trying to find out about this matter.

Hiroto Akihara took the tea, expressed his gratitude politely, and then replied: "Yes, this work is just one of my experiments."

"Experimental product?" Kawai Shinta was a little puzzled.

Hiroto Akihara nodded.

"At present, whether it is the works of the Benge School or the Social School, the main writing method is to provide clues, and then let the readers follow the detective to solve the case together. So I want to write something different, that is, to restore the truth through continuous dialogue. False events, and finally let readers discover the real truth from it."

He decided to do this, or his own plan.

After all, he has already succeeded in several works now, and with the support of royalties, it won't have a particularly big impact if he fails once or twice.

In addition, if this adaptation is still successful, it proves that he can continue to follow the path of adapting works.

Kawai Shinta didn't expect to hear this, but he immediately stood up in awe.

Generally speaking, after the author becomes famous, he often has a fixed writing mode.And they will rely on this model, and then continue to replicate their own success.

But to his surprise, Hiroto Akihara, a writer who has only debuted for half a year, actually had this idea of ​​breaking through himself.

Could it be that the styles of his previous series of works are so different that it doesn't seem like they were written by one person.

"Teacher Akihara, I understand, stick to your own ideas!"

Kawai Shinta smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

He planned to ask his assistant to subscribe to the "April Youth" journal after get off work today, so that he could read the serialized content of Hiroto Akihara in time.

He wants to see what kind of work this Qiu Yuan teacher can write!

[Chapter 179.178 Opponents and Supporters]

The time soon came to the first ten days of December, and there were some different voices from the outside world regarding the work "The Invisible Guest".

Many readers have written letters to "April Youth", thinking that this work is too obscure and difficult to understand, which gave them a bad reading experience.

However, there are also a small number of letters from readers expressing their support for Hiroto Akihara's works, thinking that they should continue to write like this, but hoping that the story will be exciting enough.

After receiving the letter, the editor-in-chief of "April Youth" Toshika Oshiro thought twice and intercepted all the letters with negative views.

In addition, she ordered Awazu Hideki to bring a letter with only good words to Akihara Yuuto.

As an editor-in-chief, Oshiro Lixiang deeply understands the influence of readers' opinions on writers.

In her opinion, although Hiroto Akihara has experienced some turmoil, he is only a writer who debuted for half a year.

If he is too deeply influenced by the outside world, it may actually affect the development of his own works.

She still thinks that as long as Hiroto Akihara can continue to write according to his outline, the exciting content behind will still attract readers!

By that time, the sales volume of "April Youth" may break through the limit of 15 copies, and continue to rise a bit!

Although Oshiro Toshika still has confidence in Akihara Hiroto, some book reviewers on the market have a different opinion.

The so-called book reviewers are also called literary critics.

For literary works, they will not only praise, but also criticize more often.

Before that, because Hiroto Akihara won the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature and had trouble with Mantansha, many book reviewers were reluctant to express their opinions.

But now this work has been serialized for 4 issues, but there is still no improvement. There are even a group of readers posting online to object.

This allowed many book reviewers with ulterior motives to see an opportunity in it—an opportunity to gain more fame for themselves by criticizing "genius writers".

Setagaya Ward, "Morning Business", Culture Special Section.

Nishijima Yuki bit the tip of his pen, looked at "April Youth" in his hand, and began to weigh whether he should write a criticism of Akihara Hiroto's "Invisible Customers".

The serialization of this work is not over yet, so I don’t know what will happen to the subsequent plot development, but many people have already pointed out that this work is too boring, making readers feel that the reading experience is poor.
