Tokyo: I loaded the love advice system

Chapter 330 Chapter 329: Becoming a God in One Book

The miracle didn't happen after all.

This reversal of public opinion has fully unleashed the potential of the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X".

This novel about past lives.

It took several years for sales to top nearly three million.

The main reason why.

The publicity is still not strong enough.

But there is no such thing in this world. Hot searches that have dominated for a long time are the best publicity, so naturally it does not need to take several years to achieve millions of sales like in the previous life.

With the blessing of huge heat.

Just a week.

The half million copies of the reprint were sold out.

The score on Book Review Network has soared to over nine points, while the Edogawa Rampo Prize winner's work "Crime and Punishment" only scored 7.8 points. The two are not at the same level.

The media has always been good at adapting to the changing circumstances.

So he immediately changed his tune and started praising Ninomiya Ritsu's works.

"A phenomenal work was born. It was reprinted as soon as it was published, and half a million copies of the reprint were sold out in one week."

"Double sales chart champion! Total sales exceeded 800,000 copies!"

"The publishing house is still conservative and only reprints 500,000 copies? Are you looking down on Ninomiya-sensei's talent!?"

"It was well-received and well-received. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why "The Devotion of Suspect X" was not selected for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize."

"..."

Except for media advocacy.

At the same time, there is another list that is very valuable and attracts a lot of attention. They took the initiative to include Ninomiya Ritsu's works. This list is the annual list of "This Mystery Novel Is Amazing".

It's only been on sale for two weeks.

It was included in the top ten of the annual list of "This mystery novel is amazing".

This is extremely incredible.

But in the eyes of most readers and industry insiders, it is taken for granted.

If a work with a sales volume of 800,000 copies cannot be included in this list, then other novels will not be eligible.

I thought it was to this extent.

Ninomiya Ritsu's novel has finally reached its peak, and then it will start to slowly go downhill.

However, the industry did not expect this.

The Naoki Award Selection Committee and the Honge Mystery Novel Award Selection Committee publicly announced that "The Devotion of Suspect X" has been officially nominated for selection.

In other words.

There is a high probability that "The Devotion of Suspect

It's better to say that even if you lose in the end.

Just being nominated for two major awards is already full of honors.

What you need to know is.

Whether it is the Naoki Prize or the Honka Mystery Novel Grand Prize, their status is not inferior to that of the Edogawa Ranpo Prize.

Among them, the Naoki Award is known as the highest honor for neon literature.

The Honka Mystery Novel Grand Prize is one of the highest honors for mystery novels in the mystery world, as famous as the Edogawa Ranpo Award.

Ritsu Ninomiya's work was nominated.

No one paid attention to the work "Crime and Punishment" that won the Edogawa Ranpo Prize.

Thus.

The Edogawa Ranpo Prize Selection Committee's previous statement that "sales volume does not mean everything" is obviously untenable. "The Devotion of Suspect X" is not only overwhelming in terms of sales, but also in terms of literary and artistic quality. It also goes beyond "Crime and Punishment".

at this point.

There are only two paths left for the Edogawa Ranpo Prize Selection Committee.

Or completely ruined.

Regardless of the decades of honor earned by the Edogawa Ranpo Award, he continued to speak harshly to the end.

Either hold a press conference, show the "spirit of craftsmanship", take the initiative to apologize, admit that there is a shady story in this selection, cancel the Edogawa Ranpo Award for "Crime and Punishment", and re-award the award to Ritsu Ninomiya. Although the four members of the selection committee wanted to choose the former.

If they apologize publicly, not only will their current status and positions be lost, but their reputations will also be ruined.

But he couldn't stand the coercion of Party A's father, Kodansha.

at no choice.

That afternoon, the Edogawa Ranpo Prize Committee held a press conference. At the press conference, chief judge Bando Tito bowed and apologized, voluntarily admitting to receiving benefits from Terashima Hayato and helping him run the Edogawa Ranpo Prize.

Therefore, it was re-voted by the selection committee.

It was decided to cancel the award honor for "Crime and Punishment" and award the Edogawa Ranpo Award to "The Devotion of Suspect X".

And to atone for sins and punishments.

Bando Taito also took the initiative to say that he would step down from his posts as president of the Mystery Association, judge of the Edogawa Ranpo Awards, etc.

The other three followed suit.

In the end, they all passed the blame to Terashima Hayato.

Sit in front of the TV.

Hayato Terashima, who was enjoying the delicious melon, felt that the sky was falling and a tall man was holding it up. He was immediately confused. Why did this big and black blame fall on his head: "Shameless! It's so shameless! Why should I?" Take the blame!"

He realized the seriousness of the matter.

I immediately called the teacher to ask him to stand up and speak for him.

But what he didn't expect was.

Not only was his phone number blocked, but his teacher also made public remarks on the Internet, stating that he had no knowledge of any of his actions, and immediately announced that he would be expelled from the school as a 'shameless person'.

at the same time.

Kodansha also held a press conference.

It stated that the cooperation with him was cancelled, the work "Crime and Punishment" was immediately removed from the shelves, and he was blacklisted.

"It's over, it's all over."

Hayato Terashima's face turned pale. Without the care of his teacher, he had taken such a big blame, and was blacklisted by Kodansha. So it became impossible for him to debut from other publishing houses.

It can be said.

He can no longer survive in the literary world.

"Why should I provoke Ninomiya Ritsu!"

He regretted it to the extreme. Why couldn't he think about it in the first place and used the Law of the Second Palace as a stepping stone?

The result came true.

A true hunter often appears in the form of prey.

He originally thought that Ni Gong Lv was a brainless fool who just took off with his traffic. However, he wanted Ni Gong Lv's traffic, so why didn't Ni Gong Lv also want his stepping stone?

The winner of the 'Edogawa Ranpo Award' came to the top.

What could be more compelling?

……

Shueisha, ML Bunko.

Editor-in-Chief Iwasa Okaji was once again so excited that he banged the table: "Reprint! Notify me immediately and let me continue to reprint 500,000 copies! This time the recommendation on the waist of the book was changed to 'This mystery novel has been shortlisted for the annual list' , 'Nominated for the Naoki Award', 'Nominated for the Honkoku Mystery Novel Award', 'A masterpiece that will win the Edogawa Rampo Award', 'Sales of 800,000 copies achieved', 'A masterpiece that has been reprinted three times in one month. An imaginative work'..."

Following the announcement of the library.

Whether they are writers, editors, or readers, they all feel dumbfounded when they look at the series of gorgeous titles and recommendations on the waist of the third edition.

They witnessed with their own eyes what it means to "confer a god with one book".

And that's for sure.

This is not the end yet.

When the fourth and fifth editions come out, maybe we can remove the 'nomination' and write 'Naoki Award Winner', 'Benedict Mystery Novel Award Winner' and other honors on the waist of the book.

And that's for sure.

There are lessons learned from the Edogawa Ranpo Prize Selection Committee.

How dare the selection committees of the Naoki Award and Honkaku Mystery Novel Award not award the award to Ritsu Ninomiya? Everyone is worried that the incident will happen again, and Ninomiya Ritsu will scold him as "there is a shady story".
