Even if someone objects, it is often the kind of netizen who has not read the book and can't explain why, and will even be "besieged" by other people.

At the bottom of one post, he also found an internet poll - do you think The Astrology Killings is a great work? (Only for users who have read the book)

There were more than 400 voters, which is not too many, but it is only one day since the book was released.

And among these people, basically 75% chose the "yes" option, which pleased Hiroto Akihara.

This proves that it was a correct decision to produce this work by myself!

Just when he was about to continue reading, Maki Satake came over and handed him a document, "Akihara, this is yesterday's first-day sales, take a look."

Hiroto Akihara put down the mouse, took the document and read it carefully, and found that the sales volume on the first day had reached more than 3 copies!

This is not a small number. I remember that when I published "Suspect X" at my own expense, the sales volume on the first day was only 1200 copies!The gap between the two can be regarded as a world of difference.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that it couldn't be compared with the past.

When I published "Suspect X" at my own expense, I was just a newcomer, and I didn't have many channels and connections. I could only rely on the trial reading session at Anjiu Bookstore to help bring some goods.

Now that this "Astrological Murder Incident" is released, not only is his reputation far greater than before, but he also has the help of the Mystery Writers Association, the Teaching Center, and Fuji TV.

So sales are naturally far better than before!

If you look at it this way, the reprint will only take less than a week!

I'm really curious to see what the sales volume will be when this week is over! ?

[251.2 Chapter Fifty "Akihara Yuren's Hotness"]

According to Hiroto Akihara's estimation, it should take about a week for the first edition of 10 copies to be sold out.

Because the sales volume on the first day is often the highest, and then it will decrease day by day, and finally reach a stable point.

But he still underestimated the role of that recommendation, that is, the sentence "a great work that changes the future" endorsed by the Mystery Writers Association.

Needless to say, the book review circle, the recommendation from the Mystery Writers Association represents the recognition of Hiroto Akihara by the reasoning literature circle.

At this time, jumping out to make trouble for Yuuto Akihara is undoubtedly an objection and disapproval of the association's views.

The association itself is an extremely large interest group, and it has a great influence on the public opinion circle.

So if you really want to do this, don't know who is causing trouble for whom? !

In the case of book reviewers' positive reviews, readers in the market also feel "curious".

After all, it is rare for a work to be unanimously praised by so many book reviewers-in that week, if you open the cultural section of a few newspapers, there are basically book reviews about "Astrology Murder", all of which are good things without exception .

And the very "secondary two" recommendation of "change the reasoning of the future" made many people go to the bookstore after making complaints.

Under such admiration and following the trend, even readers who are not interested in reasoning bought a copy of "Astrological Murder" as a collection of books.

This makes this book often "hard to find" in many bookstores.

Faced with this situation, many social critics also stood up and gave this social phenomenon a name - called "Akihara Yuren fever."

When seeing this term, Hiroto Akihara thought of Haruki Murakami and Keigo Higashino in his previous life.

"Norwegian Forest" published by Haruki Murakami seems to have been bought by the public because of the high reputation of public opinion.

Keigo Higashino passed the popularity of "Bai Ye Xing", also known as the "Keigo Higashino fever" phenomenon.

Unexpectedly, this time, I also enjoyed the same treatment!

But also because the scope of readers this time is not just reasoning fans, the book "Astrology Murder" is very popular, and the first edition of 10 copies was sold out in less than four days.

In order to compete for the inventory, the two major distributors, Dongban and Nihonban, came to the door. Not only did they offer preferential conditions, but they also hoped to hand over all the reprinted inventory to one of them.

Not to mention the bookstore as an independent channel, from Tokyo to Osaka, from Shikoku to Hokkaido, those who have a relationship look for connections, and those who don’t have a relationship also insist on a relationship, hoping to prioritize delivery.

Faced with this request, An Jiujin Gangyi and a group of employees of An Jiu Bookstore were so busy that they even moved their hairlines up a little.

This made Akihara Yuto feel a little "guilty", and gave each of them a bottle of ginger shampoo.

The success of "Astrology Murder" has also moved many TV and newspapers, and they have sent invitations to Anjiu Bookstore or "April Youth", hoping that Akihara Hiroto will participate in the program or accept interviews, and have a chat Talk about his motivation for writing this book, and what he plans to do next.

Hiroto Akihara accepted it after careful consideration. Participating in such programs or interviews will not only help him gain fame, but also help him sell his books better.

For a while, he was so busy that he was dizzy. Today he went to TV Tokyo, tomorrow he went to Fuji TV, and he even went to TV Asahi, which was originally a competitor—now he is no longer a competitor. In the downturn, "Detective Shangcun" has long been cut off.

Regardless of whether it is a program or an interview, it is actually the same routine, asking about past experiences, talking about future thoughts, and then the host or guests collectively praise "Si Guoyi (awesome)".

To be honest, he was about to vomit these words, but also because of his efforts in this area, the book "Astrology" has maintained a certain degree of social popularity for half a month.

When it was settled half a month later, it was found that more than 50 copies had been sold!

In terms of traditional literature or reasoning, it is a very exaggerated figure!

But what Akihara Hiroto didn't know was that Takada Tomohisa's "New Benge School" had put a lot of effort behind this popularity!

……

Tokyo, Setagaya Ward.

In a tea room, Takata Tomohisa looked at the newspaper news about "Akihara Hiroto" and showed a satisfied smile.

And beside him, there are four writers, three men and one woman.

"Takada-sensei, will our actions this time dissatisfy the traditional Benge faction," a square-faced man wearing glasses asked.

Takata Tomohisa put down the newspaper and said with an undiminished smile, "What are you dissatisfied with?"

"This," the square-faced man hesitated and said nothing.

In his view, Hiroto Akihara is a member of Shinta Kawai's faction, and the support for his works will undoubtedly make the traditional radicals represented by Nobuo Wada feel resentment.

After all, Hiroto Akihara had embarrassed Wada Nobu before, and even today some people criticize him.

Takata Tomohisa saw the worries in his heart, and said bluntly: "Don't think too much, the better this work sells, the brighter the future of Xinbenge will be."

In his view, cooperating with the traditional Benge school to operate the award selection is actually for the development of the new Benge school.

Since promoting a book can have the same effect, why should I care about the faces of Wada Nobu and his gang.

After all, for Xin Benge, the book "Astrology" is too important.In a substantial sense, it has even become a representative work of "Xinbenge".

So in this "Akihara Yuren craze" incident, he also spent a lot of effort, including inviting familiar book reviewers to praise him, or taking the initiative to mention and praise him in public.

However, he himself did not expect that this book could really sell so well. According to the sales trend he learned, it is not impossible to sell millions of copies within a year!
