Next chapter

Readers are far more savvy than they imagined, and as those readers and fans who like light novels, they know a very clear fact, that is, if the sales of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" die violently and there is no result, then the second volume and the follow-up plan will definitely be played GG.

In fact, on the first day of Golden Week, the sales of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" had already exploded - it was such a good novel, but it sold so poorly that many people couldn't stand it.

If I like this novel, I naturally hope that this novel can be written for a long time and see more follow-ups, which is the most fundamental wish of every reader.

These readers also spontaneously organized, on the Internet, on various forums, on Twitter, on Line, and in Line's groups, and began to spontaneously promote "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".

If a novel wants to be completely hot, the two points of hype and publicity are indispensable, there are two ways of publicity, one is official publicity, this kind of investment is very large, the ultra-low sales of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" have made Kadokawa Bunko give up the idea of continuing to promote it, and in the eyes of the upper echelons of Kadokawa Bunko, it is not worth continuing to invest more in novels with such a low number of sales.

They believe that most of them are the previous online reservations, and they have already tapped all the potential of this novel, because of the industry rules, it is not possible to publish the library book immediately, otherwise the readers who bought the high-priced single book will definitely be psychologically unbalanced, and this is also a violation of the industry rules, so all they can do is give up this novel.

"The Melancholy of Haruhi in the Cool Palace" no longer needs to continue to invest in publicity...... This is almost everyone's knowledge.

However, there is another way of publicity, and that is word-of-mouth propaganda from readers.

In fact, word-of-mouth propaganda sometimes produces a better effect than official publicity.

A novel with a good reputation, since everyone says it is good, it will naturally make many people pay attention to this novel, thinking that no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad.

Of course, this kind of propaganda requires a very high quality of the novel, which is simply not possible with ordinary novels.

Fortunately, "The Melancholy of Haruhi in the Cool Palace" has a group of very loyal fans and readers, and after they spontaneously promoted it, a small number of people organized a support club for Qinghuathorn and began to carry out more powerful publicity for this novel!

In a readership called "Blue Thorn's Support Club", a reader sent out such a message.

"I know Torotaro from Yahoo's light novel section, let's give some money and let Torotaro promote this novel, right?"

Soon other readers replied.

"How much does it cost?"

"This is good, I'm afraid the publicity so far has not had much effect at all, and someone more on the stage needs to make a voice!"

"Yes, as long as more people see this novel, sales will naturally improve...... After all, this novel is so good. ”

"I just don't know how much money it costs to get Torotaro to promote?"

"Torotaro? Is that the industry's famous light novel review expert Torotaro? Wow, you actually know him, it's a bit of a doorway! ”

"Is Torotaro famous?" Someone asked.

"Of course it's famous, every post of Torotaro has at least 200,000 hits, and his most clicked post has more than 1.8 million hits! The number of fans has already exceeded six figures, and if this Torotaro can be asked to post a post to promote it, it will definitely bring quite a lot of sales! ”

"yes......!"

The reader who made this opinion, "Tanaka-kun", continued:

"If you go to the official line, it will be at least 100,000 yen, or even hundreds of thousands, or millions of yen, but I know Torataro, as long as it is 50,000 or 60,000 yen, and then invite him to dinner, it will be fine. If you believe me, start collecting money now. ”

The other readers were silent, and fifty or sixty thousand yen was not a small number. There were only a few dozen people in this group, and the number of people who spoke was even smaller, only a few, and when it was evenly distributed, each person would cost 10,000 thousands of yen.

However, this kind of otaku fans are usually not bad for money, and there is a saying in the industry that it is called otaku foolish money to come quickly, as a standard for die-hard loyalists, it is for collection, preaching, and ornamentation, and buy three of each thing.

Only those who have money can be called otaku, and those who have no money are nits.

Therefore, although it is clear that this is likely to be a scam, and this person will run away directly after receiving the remittance, there are still many people who do not hesitate to ask for the transfer method and then transfer the money.

In less than five minutes, the funds were collected.

Then this Tanaka-kun really went to contact Torotaro and told him about the publicity, and Torotaro seemed a little embarrassed, but at Tanaka-kun's request, he still agreed to this time, saying that he would not take it as an example.

Every day, there are many publishing companies that want to ask Torotaro to help promote it, and 99% of them will be rejected, and the price of 1% is extremely high, and he can't refuse, but of course there are exceptions, such as having a good relationship, just like this Tanaka-kun.

Fifty or sixty thousand yen was not so much a bribe as a hardship fee, and it was nothing to him.

Torotaro, who accepted this request, was still very responsible, and immediately went to buy "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".

I don't know if I don't buy it, but after reading it for ten minutes after buying it, Torotaro's eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

"It's a really good book!" Torotaro couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Ye Su's "Melancholy of Spring in the Cool Palace" in his previous life had sold nearly 10 million copies of the library book, and it was able to reach such a number, each of which was the best of the best, and the quality was naturally needless to say.

Toritaro watched it very devotedly, and after reading it, a strong sense of unfulfilled feelings suddenly appeared.

"That's good." Torotaro looked at the novel with satisfaction.

He thought about it for a while, began to open the document, wrote his own book review, wrote half an hour in one go, and actually wrote a book review of more than 3,000 words, and then posted it to the light novel forum section on Yahoo.

The title goes like this--"Commenting on the worst-selling novel of Golden Week, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", poor sales≠ poor quality, this is submerged gold. ”

The content is about this--occasionally, in the corner of the bookstore, I saw the novel "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", which was obviously a novel that had just started to be sold, but it appeared in such a remote location, which was really pitiful, but it was also relieved to think of the pitiful triple-digit sales on the first day......
