Tokyo, everyone is drawing comics, who still wants to fall in love?

Chapter 52 (Updated) Completion rate, a key indicator for new works!

The headquarters building of Qunying Club.

The office of the head of the web department is located in the basement area.

"Boss Mikami, you've been drinking too much BOSS lately." Assistant Okita carefully took the plastic bottle from the table and replaced it with a glass of water.

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆]

Suntory's BOSS coffee is one of the most popular overtime drinks among Japanese companies.

But drinking it at night can do too much harm to the body. It's just that everyone knows this truth, but there are still a lot of people who insist on doing it. This is most likely related to high occupational pressure.

"Thank you for your hard work, Okita-kun." Saburo Mikami did not refuse.

Assistant Okita was not very good in terms of personal abilities, and sometimes he even messed up things. However, Saburo Mikami never changed assistants.

On the one hand, Mikami is used to it, and more importantly, he is really an honest guy.

They are honest about their duties and will never be lazy at nine points if they can achieve ten points. Such people do not expect to have any upper limit for explosiveness, but the lower limit is not low.

There is no doubt about his loyalty, and his sincerity in caring for his superiors. Even if Saburo Mikami insists on some bad living habits, he will still stubbornly try to persuade them every time.

Assistant Okita reminded again: "Boss Mikami, in the report materials tomorrow morning, the evaluation of "One Punch Man" is A grade."

"Well, be humble and don't speak too loudly."

It's up to me to decide whether something breaks out or not. Saburo Mikami knows very well what his assistant is good at. But it is this reliable assistant who helps you keep your bottom line and at least take care of your work and health.

If it were a female assistant, he would feel uncomfortable.

Oda Shingo actually chose such a female assistant, I hope he won’t delay drawing comics! Mikami Saburo muttered in his heart.

"Minister, your report materials tomorrow morning may really improve some ratings, such as raising it to S level." Assistant Okita reminded again, "The results of "One Punch Man" are very good! In just three hours, it has exceeded five points. One web version reader has collected the new comic.”

"I know. However, the more important indicator is the completion rate! It takes at least three hours to determine the completion rate!" Saburo Mikami waved his hand, "But even if the completion rate of the three newly released chapters exceeds 50% , I also want to keep a low profile. It would be bad if someone stabbed me."

When a new comic is launched, if it is heavily promoted and prepared, many chapters will be published at once. The most common one is three episodes in one go, which is consistent with the operating philosophy of new animations and TV series.

For comics serialized on the web, during the free period, collection is certainly an important indicator, but what is more important is the completion rate!

Reading is complete only if you read it page by page, without skipping pages, and if the reading time is within a reasonable range.

New comics are usually published in three episodes in a row.

If the completion rate of the free period is less than 30%, judging by experience, it is considered a blockbuster work, and subsequent subscriptions will not be high.

A score above 45% is considered qualified, a score above 55% is excellent, and a score above 60% is a masterpiece!

After all, many people do this and that in web reading, but may not insist on reading for various reasons.

According to the traditional habits of the Japanese, paper-based publications are still king. You can just read the comics on the Internet casually, which is also an important reason why the completion rate of the free period is also low.

According to experience, when a new comic book on a website is launched, three hours is a more accurate time point for calculating the reading rate.

The completion rate of new works on Qunyingsha's website, even if it's just the first few chapters, averages a pitiful 36%!

"More than 60%, no, at least more than 55%!" Saburo Mikami folded his hands and whispered with his eyes closed while Assistant Okita walked away.

Saburo Mikami, who has always been young and promising, rarely appears in such nervous situations.

He had waited too long.

How long has it been since I encountered a work that received such great attention? Even the signing conditions are terrifying!

Even after the signing was completed, Saburo Mikami felt like he was being played by Oda Shingo.

Even Saburo Mikami admired the other party's speaking skills very much.

There is also the method of arranging for the female assistant to speak without having to express her attitude herself, which makes Saburo Mikami admire her.

What I am facing is a big shot in the workplace! Where is the suspended student of Tokyo University of the Arts? !

"This work is a good one!"

"I will definitely finish reading more than 50% of it!"

"No, maybe even 55%!"

Mikami Saburo whispered to himself, trying hard to convince himself of his judgment.

But the bigger worry is that on the one hand, this operation of the work has brought myself into it.

First, rumors have arisen in our company that because of a work by an unknown newcomer, he scolded the editor in public, and the video was even posted online!

Second, the signing conditions may become the laughing stock of the club, and even if the performance fails, it may further lose the right to speak in high-level meetings!

Yes, the web department has less and less say now!

There is a lack of many popular works that have stably exceeded 3,000 points, especially there are no masterpieces that can stand out!

[With over 300,000 people online, what’s the use? What about subscriptions? If even a few thousand dollars is not stable, the web department should stop saying anything! ]

Minister Hyakki's sarcastic voice seemed to still be echoing in his ears at the high-level meeting.

There are even rumors that the board of directors is also dissatisfied with the performance of the web department!

hateful! Do young people have to be suppressed? I'm not from Kyoto University of the Arts, so I'm rejected like this!

Saburo Mikami was unwilling to give in!

The reset version of "One Punch Man" must be successful!

He gritted his teeth and stared at the screen, waiting for the three-hour reading rate to be updated.

Just as the time was getting closer to 11 o'clock and the three-hour reading rate was about to be displayed, Assistant Okita suddenly rushed in.

"Minister! The author of "One Punch Man" has issued an online announcement. Starting from tomorrow, the work will be updated every Wednesday for a month!"

Assistant Okita looked panicked.

"Oops! The young man is impatient!" Saburo Mikami exclaimed.

This is not because I am worried about whether the work can be updated in time, but because I think this is a bad sign!

The promise to increase the frequency of updates is either because the author is too confident and hopes to further increase the popularity, or because the author is not confident!

And the latter is more likely! The author may feel that his performance is not satisfactory, and wants to attract more readers to read through the promise of high updates!

This is drinking poison to quench thirst! He is a newbie after all!

Mikami Saburo was so anxious that he grabbed the phone and dialed.

While waiting for the call, he stood up and walked back and forth, tapping his toes anxiously.

"Oda-kun, you said you can do it every Wednesday, but it's hard to take back your public promise..." After answering the phone and saying a few polite words, Mikami Saburo began to remind: "Oda-kun, there are people in Kansai In a word. No matter how big the pelican’s mouth is, it can’t eat a water snake in one bite.”

"Rakuta (steady), Mikami-chan, a man must be steady." Oda Shingo said, "I can really complete it, and it is very easy."

Saburo Mikami was a little surprised that Oda Shingo was so calm.

However, at this time, the soft voice of a woman on Oda Shingo's side came from the microphone: "Ah! Mr. Oda, don't move, I'm numb, oops..."

Saburo Mikami: "..."

The girl's tone was irritating, especially the ouch. The voice was so squeaky that it made people feel like she was a human being, and Oda Shingo was squirming...

It's quite relaxing, huh? But please be more serious! You are a new comic book author who has started a series!

Oda Shingo's defense soon came over the phone: "My office space is very crowded, so I accidentally bumped into my assistant."

He scolded over the phone again: "Todo-kun, no, Todo Xiangcheng! Didn't I just accidentally touch the tendon on your elbow?! Please be calmer, and don't make weird noises while on the phone." !”

Oda Shingo quickly turned back to Minister Mikami and said: "I will always maintain the progress of 20 episodes in advance in the background. You can check it at any time and rest assured!"

Saburo Mikami: "Well, watch out for the squirming, no, I mean, I hope you don't promise too much to the readers."

"Boss Mikami, if we don't have confidence ourselves, how can we give confidence to our subordinates? And if the manga becomes popular, there will be enemies. As for the enemies, let them tremble under our momentum!"

As expected, the young man is not afraid of tigers like a newborn calf, Mikami Saburo secretly thought.

Saburo Mikami is also a human being. Since the other party has made such a promise, of course he cannot criticize anything more: "Oda-kun, you surprise me very much! I believe your work will achieve excellent results!"

After putting down the phone, Mikami Saburo noticed that the completion rate on the screen flashed at that moment.

More than 50%! It must be more than 50%! This way, I can report back to you at tomorrow’s morning meeting! Saburo Mikami screamed secretly in his heart and began to look at the screen seriously.

The stickiness of online readers is too low, and there is indeed a lack of good enough works in online serials, because the high-quality ones have been snatched away by the official "Jump"!

How long has it been since the web department’s follow-up rate exceeded 50%? Three months? Half a year? No, it’s been a year!

However, the remake of "One Punch Man" is really excellent, maybe it can covet 60%?

A trace of luck-level expectation quietly emerged in Mikami Saburo's heart...

Looking intently at the screen, Mikami Saburo froze for a moment when he saw it clearly.

After a few seconds, he took off the expensive glasses produced by Kaneko Co., Ltd. in Fukui Prefecture. After taking a moment, he put them back on for a closer look.

"Boss Mikami!" Assistant Okita rushed in from outside again, shouting: "The reading completion rate is out, did you see it?!"

"Lo! Okita-kun, a man must be steady." Saburo Mikami said with a calm face, "Why do you make such a fuss over a trivial matter? How excited are you?"

"Hi Yi." The assistant bowed and prepared to leave.

"Hashido sack, Okita-kun." Saburo Mikami stopped his assistant, "Tomorrow morning's manuscript, the report on the remake of "One Punch Man", please change the rating."

Assistant Okita asked tentatively: "Are you going to adjust from A to S level?"

"..." Saburo Mikami stood up slowly, pointed at the screen and shouted, louder than Okita just now, "What's S level? The completion rate is 92%! Is this called S level?!!!"

"Ah, my subordinate was wrong..." Assistant Okita subconsciously bowed and apologized. After all, this is a Japanese workplace habit. No matter who is at fault, the subordinates will take the blame.

"The completion rate is 92%! Do you know how valuable it is?!" Saburo Mikami's roar echoed throughout the basement of the web department: "Change it to S+++! Add the plus sign to that line!" Fill it up!”

Thank you, I have read more than 1,000 times! An update for everyone to see! Please continue to read this book every day! There will be another chapter tonight~Bao~
