Higashino Makoto, this is the name of the silver-haired boy.

The young man was originally a time-traveler, and his predecessor was a 996 social animal. He struggled to survive every day, and he time-traveled into this world in an accidental car accident.

Higashino Makoto confirmed that this is a two-dimensional comprehensive comic world.

If you want to ask why

, he has an elementary school classmate named Yukinoshita Yukino.

He has five junior high school classmates, named Nakano, who are quintuplets.

He had seen a famous child actress named Mai Sakurajima on TV since he was a child.

In his country, Japan, there are several consortiums that monopolize the country’s economic lifeline, called the Shinnomiya Foundation, the Kotobuki Foundation, and the Yuuki Foundation….

When he was in high school, his teacher gave him several choices, including Toyosaki School, the private Sakurasai Academy, and Shuchiin Academy….

All these made Higashino Makoto confirm that he had traveled to a two-dimensional comic book world.

Despite this, Higashino Makoto did not deliberately approach those two-dimensional female protagonists like other male protagonists in comprehensive comics to win glory for the country in the two-dimensional world. reason…

In his previous life, Higashino Makoto was considered poor. In this life, Higashino Makoto was also unlucky and started as an orphan. All these factors left Higashino Makoto free to think about anything else and he only wanted to make money by taking advantage of being a time traveler.

What kind of love are you talking about?

All he wants in this life is to work hard to make money like Brother Hao!! then…

Although he and Yukinoshita Yukino were elementary school classmates, although he and the Nakano quintuplets were middle school classmates, and although he had met by chance with a certain unnamed eldest lady of the Kotobuki Foundation and the heir to Nishikino Hospital, Higashino Makoto did not He didn’t take it to heart, but focused on his own money-making career.

Relying on the talents of the time traveler and the vision, experience and resilience honed in the society of his previous life, although he started as an orphan, Higashino Makoto still broke Japan’s deep-rooted class barriers and soon emerged at an astonishing speed.

First, he was a copywriter.

Being a literary copycat in the two-dimensional world and being released online is already a very cliché plot, but Makoto Higashino can’t help it. He was born as an orphan in this life, and his congenital conditions are really poor. Apart from making money through writing, other methods are simply not feasible..

And there are benefits to being a copywriter.

When Higashino Makoto first started copying, his writing style was not very good, but he had literary works from his previous life as reference, which gave him a variety of rich ideas.

More importantly, he has a gimmick!

When he first submitted his manuscript to Shogakukan (one of the three major publishing houses in Japan), he was just in the third grade of elementary school. The review editor was stunned when he saw him.

Then came a burst of ecstasy

‘This is actually a primary school student writer!! ‘

This is a primary school student writer, and he is also an orphan primary school student writer. It is a perfect publicity stunt!

In addition, although the writing style of”Shuke and Beta” submitted by Higashino Makoto is relatively average, it is a fairy tale type novel. It does not require too much writing, but the story of the novel is quite interesting and suitable for all ages. This allowed Shogakukan to directly give the green light to Higashino Makoto, not only signing Higashino Makoto’s novels, but also establishing Higashino Makoto as a genius elementary school student writer.

This not only made Higashino Makoto become a famous child prodigy in Japan, but also made his debut”Virgin” create a sales volume of one million copies within one year!

Well, the level of the novel is actually inferior to that of a million-seller.

However, the publicity level of Shogakukan is indeed great. Most of the customers who bought the novel heard Shogakukan’s promotion and bought it out of curiosity about the talented elementary school writer. However, after buying it, they found that the novel exceeded their expectations, so they I bought a set of novels and gave them to the children around me.

With the dividends from the sales of one million novels, plus a series of peripheral dividends and publicity fees, Higashino successfully obtained the first start-up capital.

After that, Higashino Makoto was not in a hurry and continued to publish novels.

Because after writing”Shuke and Beta” in two volumes of novels, he discovered that his writing skills were really not very good and needed to be sharpened before he could create more exciting works.

So he spent the next three years patiently absorbing nutrients from various literary works and polishing his character and writing style. It was only after he was in the sixth grade of primary school that he released his second work.

This time, he transitioned directly from fairy tale novels to traditional literary mystery novels!

There is no other reason. In Japan, traditional literature writers are very popular and have a very high status.

Japan is a country that attaches great importance to literature. Novelists and educators have a very transcendent status in Japan, such as Natsume Soseki, Fukuzawa Yukichi and others. The busts of these writers and educators are printed on the Japanese yen!

There are two Japanese winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature, namely Kawabata Yasunari and Taie Kenzaburo, and there is Haruki Murakami who runs for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year. He can be called the uncrowned king of the Nobel Prize in Literature.

It can be said that in Japan, writers, like politicians, prosecutors, lawyers, and scientists, are people who stand at the top of the country.

In the Japanese literary circle, there is another chain of contempt, in which traditional writers stand at the top of the chain, while other cartoonists and light novelists are at the bottom of the chain, and their status is far inferior to that of traditional literary writers.

Higashino Makoto has a relatively utilitarian character internally.

In order to make more money and improve his social status, he naturally followed the trend and switched from fairy tales to traditional literature.

And because Japanese readers prefer mystery novels, Higashino Makoto followed suit and decided that the second work would be a mystery novel.

But he didn’t dabble in many mystery novels in his previous life, so what should he do?

It doesn’t matter.

You’ve never read mystery novels, but you’ve always seen mystery movies and mystery TV series, right?

So, after polishing it for a long time, Higashino Makoto launched his second work:”Detective Di Renjie”!

The result was an instant hit.

In the previous life,”Detective Detective Di Renjie” was originally an extremely classic costume suspense drama (the first and second parts were very high-level and recognized as divine dramas, while the third and fourth parts were more awkward), and the story was set in the Tang Dynasty of China ( The Japanese admire the Tang Dynasty very much), and there are a lot of myths mixed in with it (such as Yuanfang, what do you think).

It has a wonderful reasoning part, a good historical background, and a bunch of interesting jokes, coupled with the gimmick of Higashino Makoto’s genius elementary school student writer, and Shogakukan’s sparing no effort in publicity.

Immediately, Higashino Makoto, who was only eleven years old, won the Naoki Award and the Edogawa Ranpo Award in one fell swoop!

The Naoki Prize is awarded twice a year in the field of popular literature or popular novels. It appreciates works with strong storytelling and never selects famous writers, but pays more attention to newcomers and unknown writers. It can be called an entry point for young literary people. level.

The Edogawa Ranpo Award is aimed at the mystery novel world and can be called the highest honor for Japanese mystery novels!

Higashino Makoto, who won these two generals with”Detective Dee Renjie”, also became famous in one battle, and suddenly became one of Japan’s top writers. Not only did he directly join Japan’s upper class, but he also gained a very high social status.

This also allowed Higashino Makoto to initially gain a foothold in this world and begin to realize his ambitions.

PS: The picture is the rating of”Detective Di Renjie”.

To be honest, the filming quality of this TV series has some flaws, but the script is really good. It can be regarded as a great drama of the previous generation. I think it is perfectly fine to adapt it into a mystery novel.
