Chapter 10

He had observed before that this bookstore was the closest to his home and it was also a bookstore that cooperated with the Fuzugawa Bunko and had direct sales of "Summer Reappearance".

The first time he entered the bookstore, his eyes were focused on the promotional notice on the pile of books. There was an illustration of "Summer Reappearance" there, with the image of Wangdai Shinpei and Kofune Ushio. Sagiri drew it very beautifully. Compared with the cute style before the special training, it undoubtedly looks more realistic and colorful.

Isn't the first image established?

"Dear customer, do you want to buy a light novel? This is "Summer Reappearance" which was just released today. Are you interested? You can tell from the illustrations that the female characters are very cute~"

The female clerk came up and noticed his gaze, so she picked up a book and held it in her hand, showing a service symbol smile.

"Wait, let me think about it."

Hikigaya Hachiman did not agree immediately, but stayed in the bookstore and observed secretly.

Not long after, a student wearing the same school uniform as him came in. He looked like a high school student. The female clerk quickly focused her attention on him.

"Please give me one of these."

Before the female clerk introduced him, the high school student directly specified "Summer Reappearance", with a very clear goal.

After the other party left, Hikigaya Hachiman came over again, picked up a copy of "Summer Reappearance", and asked casually.

"Is this work really good? The person just now seemed to come to buy it on purpose, right?"

"Well, I haven't read it yet, and I don't know how it is."

The female clerk answered honestly.

"But the sales on the first day seem to be good. It seems to be quite popular among new books."

She looked down at the pile of books composed of "Summer Reappearance", which was obviously much lower than the other piles.

"Well, I'll buy one and try it out. I hope the author won't let me down..."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't ask any more questions and chose to pay. When he left, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Although it is just a small bookstore, there will be some chances, but if you look at the big picture from the small, it seems that the situation is quite optimistic.

He felt that his future was shining!

"Onii-chan is in a good mood today."

Hikigaya Hachiman had just returned home, and Komachi, who was watching TV in the living room, looked over.

"Don't talk yet! Let me guess."

He was about to speak, and his sister raised her hand again.

"Onii-chan didn't participate in the club activities and came back almost an hour later than usual. As far as I know, today is the official sale of Onii-chan's "Summer Reappearance". Could it be that she went to the bookstore to peek?"

Komachi made fun of it.

"Peeping is so bad, it's just a look."

He said with a serious look.

"Hehe, seeing Onii-chan's happy look, it seems that things are going well, right?"

Komachi blinked her eyes, playful and cute.

"Who knows."

He deliberately dragged out his voice.

"Onii-chan, you are so mean!"

Komachi said dissatisfiedly.

This kind of words is like saying only half of the words, which makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

"It's okay, but I just went to a bookstore to ask."

He gave the answer.

"This is a good sign! Debut today, become popular in a week, and then become an animated writer... Onii-chan, I have seen it! I saw the characters written by Onii-chan appear alive in front of me on TV."

Komachi's eyes were full of longing and shining.

"Why do I feel that you are more confident than me? It seems that you are burying me."

He looked strange.

"Onii-chan is too unconfident in herself! People should be confident. Otherwise, if you don't even have confidence in what you write, how can readers like it?"

Komachi frowned.

"This is not something you can say."

He snorted.

"I have learned a little about light novels recently, and I happened to see someone say such a thing."

Komachi explained.

"I see."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded gently.

At the same time, he also realized that his sister had been secretly caring about him.

In a family that is not cared for, having such a sister is an equivalent exchange.

After the light novel is released, generally speaking, if you want to know the specific data, you can only wait a week. The official side will naturally have statistical data, and you can ask the editor.

Before that, there is another way to know, that is, readers' comments.

After rewriting "Summer Reappearance", he is confident that it is better than before, and with the help of Eromanga teacher, the sales should be guaranteed.

The next day, he went to the website of the Fuzugawa Library and clicked into the book review area of ​​the first volume of "Summer Reappearance".

Although it was only one day after the release, many people couldn't wait to spend time reading it.

Magical Girl Shining: I noticed this work when I was watching the newcomer's show before. After the first volume was released, I immediately chose to support the author. I didn't expect the author to give me a big surprise. I reread the first volume and found that the content was not small. I felt that it was much smoother to read and the plot was easier to understand.

How many floors should a bag of rice carry: Wonderful! I accidentally found that the bookstore near my home had a new work on the shelves. I was attracted by the promotional picture. The most surprising thing was the content of the work. It felt like I hadn't seen such a time loop work for a long time. The setting of the shadow disease was also quite interesting.

The Sage in Gensokyo: I like the protagonist set by the author. I quickly figured out what happened. Unlike other works, the time loop may not be discovered many times, but the corresponding enemies have become smarter. I feel that this setting is also very interesting.

A Little Blackie of a Certain Science Fiction: I was attracted by the illustrations, but the author attracted my attention with his strength. The atmosphere created was very touching, especially the several times the protagonist died and the time when the protagonist was found to be reborn. It really scared me.

There are many good reviews, and almost no bad reviews.

But this is actually a very normal phenomenon, because many people choose to buy with the original intention. Most of the works that are criticized by you have special circumstances, such as suddenly writing some disgusting plots, or the so-called toilet paper works, which are particularly unpopular among passers-by, and some idle people will deliberately step on you.

Most of his readers probably noticed the work "Summer Reappearance" during the Newcomer Award, and there are still a few who came through subsequent publicity.

If the word of mouth continues to be favorable, then someone will preach for you, so that the snowball will roll and the sales will continue to increase.

Hikigaya Hachiman expects his work to develop in this way.

Five days later, Ms. Machida took the initiative to call him before he asked.

"Tsukiro teacher, I came to tell you a good news.

"What good news? ”

He instantly perked up.

“The bookstores have already sold a lot of copies, and it is estimated that the number has reached more than 60%. At this pace, it is necessary to reprint the book, so we will print another 10,000 copies. If the sales can continue to rise... it would be great if we can maintain it. "

After hearing the news, Hachiman Hikigaya had a good sleep.

Of course, he didn't get carried away, because the data was indeed good, but it would be naive to say that it would be a big hit.

After all, the market for this type of novel in the industry is not very large, and the largest number is still the refreshing novels of the other world.

What if the digestion limit is reached soon?

This is not impossible.

Such good news, as an illustrator, Eromanga also sent him a message of congratulations.

He replied: I am happy.

The fate of the two is now in the same boat. The higher the sales of the work, the higher the fame of Eromanga as an illustrator will be, which will also be good for her future development.

As time goes by, unless it is a work that caused a craze when it debuted, the daily sales of the work will gradually become flat.

It is a pity that although his creation is good, better than many people, it is nothing in the industry.

There are too many geniuses in this world, and the gap between them and ordinary people is very huge. Even compared with Ms. Yamada's debut work "Explosion of the Dark" The debut performance of "Black Fairy" is somewhat dwarfed by the others.

Although in the eyes of Hikigaya Hachiman, Ms. Yamada's writing is really bad, just like her cultural level, it is at the level of an elementary school student, and even some of the plots are extremely vulgar, but as she said, she accurately positioned herself as an author, the excitement point was achieved, the readers were satisfied, and with the help of Elmi's excellent illustrations, such a good result was created.

Sales volume is the most important indicator for the author. It cannot be denied that if it is not as good, it is not as good. Even if he is ridiculed by many people, he also thinks that Yamada Miss is also a special genius.

So, what is the real evaluation of him in Miss Yamada's eyes now?

He was very curious.

18 has the elements that teacher Eri Kashiwagi likes

He didn't speak for this question, because he had already guessed what Miss Yamada would answer, which was nothing more than showing her own transcript and laughing at him.

He was not a masochist, so he didn't take that anger.

"That guy didn't even tell me the specific release date of "Summer Return". If I hadn't gone to the bookstore to look around, I would have almost missed it! And why should I buy it myself? That guy should also give me a few copies! "

On the other side, Yamada Fairy returned home with a plastic bag in her hand, complaining non-stop.

Putting the things she bought on the small table, the first thing she remembered was that her game stamina for today had not been cleared, so she logged into the game decisively.

The game has reached the late stage, and the playability has decreased a lot. If there is no special activity, it is basically brushing the dungeon, so she quickly cleared the stamina by the method of rapid sweeping.

Yamada Fairy stretched lazily, stood up, and suddenly noticed something on the small table.

"Let's kill some time. The world boss won't be refreshed until 7 o'clock in the evening."

She thought for a while and took out the first volume of "Summer Reappearance".

"Hey, this cover also has illustrations..."

The fairy girl's eyes were attracted by this aspect at the first time, just like sensing destiny. The illustrator of this work made her feel a touch of soul.

But that's all for now. In order to adapt to the style of "Summer Reappearance", Mr. Eromanga deliberately added other styles of painting, which was subtly different from his original self.

Yamada Fairy's eyes were a little dazed, and then she focused on the work itself.

"So many revisions have been made. That guy is too hard!"

When she finished reading, she couldn't help but sigh.

"But it's impossible to kill me with this volume!"

After all, she, Yamada Fairy, updates a volume every three months, which is considered very diligent in the industry.

…

The positive reviews of “Summer Return” continued to ferment, and gradually people began to spread the word.

As we all know, Kashiwagi Eri prefers works with childhood sweetheart elements, and she even occasionally recommends works of this type on Twitter.

One of Kashiwagi Eri’s fans liked this work, so she also recommended her.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri, the eldest daughter of the Sawamura family, is about to enter the second grade of Shimamura Junior High School. Because of her weak health, she often asks for leave, so she is called the "Jade Girl of Shimamura Junior High School."

But what is less known is that such a precious young lady is actually a well-known new teacher in the inner world - Kashiwagi Eri.

On this day, Eriri logged into her Twitter account and prepared to read everyone's private messages to see what the recent trend is, so as to consider the next new work.

Suddenly, she noticed a private message.

"Hmm? "Summer Return", the latest new work?"

Because the fans recommended it enthusiastically and it has her own favorite elements, Eriri secretly memorized it.

As a deep homegirl, she has sufficient knowledge and interest in anime, comics, light novels and games.
