Chapter 129: The Strange Incident of 2ch

The strange events of Chapter 129 2ch

After entering the dream, Wen Xun began to constantly try how to market his "Fullmetal Alchemist" in the dream. This time, Wen Xun is no longer as secure as he was when the book was released in China, because he did not sign any gambling agreement when Bertelsmann published the book last time

However, what made Wen Xun a little depressed was that after he used several methods commonly used in the domestic market in the Japanese market in his dream, the effect was not very ideal. Maybe it's because of the xenophobia of the Japanese market, maybe it's because of something else......

For more than two months, Wen Xun has been trying to market this "Fullmetal Alchemist" in his dreams, and finally, before the Japanese version of "Fullmetal Alchemist" is finalized, Wen Xun finally found a way to make his book break through the 500,000 sales mark

After finding a way again, Wen Xun first contacted the people of Kadokawa Bookstore, and then told them about his plan, and persuaded the executives of Kadokawa Bookstore, who were suspicious, to cooperate with his promotion plan. Although these executives of Kadokawa bookstores in Japan don't believe that Wen Xun can succeed from the bottom of their hearts. But after all, this is a method that Wen Xun came up with by himself, anyway, for Kadokawa Bookstore, if it is done according to Wen Xun's method, even if the grades are poor in the future, it will not have much impact on them. It was for this reason that they obediently followed Wen Xun's plan.

A few days later, a rather strange post appeared on the Japanese otaku forum 2ch. In this post, a guy who logged in as an "anonymous" person left a post like this-

"Well...... I was scolded by my family again and forced to go out to find a job. I don't want to be a squatter at home, but this society is too dark, and those people of the golden generation in the past can succeed as long as they work hard. But when it comes to our generation, the 20 years of disappearance make us desperate and can't see the light of the future, in this case, when will we work hard to be a little discouraged and say that I am a herbivorous man, that I am a squatting at home, and I really want to run away from home and wander ......"

This endless complaint post quickly got many replies. Because this post says the biggest change in Japanese society in the past 20 years, that is, the depression brought by economic stagnation and development to people's hearts In the 6070s, Japan's entire economy was booming, and as long as you are willing to work hard, you will always succeed. Correspondingly, Japanese anime in the 607080s are always full of bloody battles, dreams and struggles......

But in the 90s, the Japanese gradually realized that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't succeed. Some large Japanese companies began to learn from the experience of the United States, began to dismantle lifetime employment, and began to lay off people, so that the Japanese found that after working hard for most of their lives, they could not find a company that could accommodate them for the rest of their lives

Therefore, the next consequence is that the younger generation has less and less hard work, and the young people have lost the so-called male enthusiasm, and one by one they begin to indulge in games and anime, and do not want to make progress - anyway, they will not succeed.

In such a social context, such a complaint post appeared, and it immediately gained the attention of many otaku on the 2ch forum. Some people began to echo the landlord's statements, and some people began to complain angrily about telling some things about themselves or their own family.

In the days that followed, the landlord, who logged in to post anonymously, would update his post once a day or two, telling about some of the things he had arrived at since he was a child, and about how he went from being full of hope for the future to the lifeless appearance he is now. Of course, in the post, the landlord "normally" pushed all the responsibility to the society and to others......

Such a venting post has constantly attracted the attention of many otaku in the 2ch forum. As the saying goes, the experiences of the winners in life are all similar, and the experiences of the hard-pressed otaku are different. In an otaku forum like 2ch, it quickly resonated, and people kept replying to the post, and people kept complaining. Even in the end, in this super long post of more than 4,000 floors, there are some half-truths about the otaku asking the landlord to jump off the Tokyo Tower to "hit the road", and the landlord who posted anonymously also agreed......

After that, there was no news of this landlord. Such a result caused a shock in the whole 2ch forum. Although this kind of thing is very common in Japan, it is rare for people to ask people to go on the road with them so openly, and when many otaku are wondering if the landlord and those people are really on the road, the landlord actually appears again

Yes, the landlord is still anonymous this time, but his iconic words still make everyone recognize him like fireflies in the night. In this post, the landlord suddenly became sunny and forged ahead, saying that he had started working in an anime and game store near his home, and hoped to have his own anime and game store in the future.

Such a change simply shocked the 2ch otaku, they couldn't imagine that the landlord who was still lifeless before, how did he suddenly become a "fool", at first, some people laughed and posted to ask the landlord not to joke, but as the landlord kept saying his plans for the future, those otaku couldn't sit still.

They began to wonder if this landlord was the one who said he was going to "go on the road" before, and some people began to give full play to the characteristics of the Japanese to collect fine information, and began to analyze word by word, and even began to analyze the IP, etc., and finally confirmed that the owner of the sunshine building this time was really the landlord who was forced to do so last time

This result made the otaku unable to calm down, some people began to claim that the landlord was crazy, and some people began to ask the landlord not to grandstand. But at this time, a few of the people who had made an appointment to go on the road with the landlord also slowly appeared, and the guys who were forced to go on the road before actually became sunny youths like the landlord

Such a change made all the otaku of 2ch not calm, and they began to wonder what was going on. In the end, under all kinds of questioning, the landlord said that he had found a manuscript called "Fullmetal Alchemist" in his father's briefcase one day, and when he read this manuscript, his outlook on life changed. Even later, he copied the manuscript and gave it to the otaku who had made an appointment to go on the road with him, and then they also magically changed their outlook on life......

Such a story made the 2ch otaku dumbfounded, and curiosity drove them on the Internet, asking what publishing house the landlord's father worked for, and after the landlord's explanation, they learned that this "Fullmetal Alchemist" would be published by Kadokawa Shoten ...... a month later.
