Chapter 597

"《Postpartum Care for Sows》!"

？？？

Ye Xuan almost doubted his ears.

He silently took back his original words about it having nothing to do with him, only feeling it was outrageous, simply outrageous!

Never expected that Murakami Haruki's inspiration for the new book would actually be related to raising pigs?!

Recalling Murakami Haruki's behavior of wanting to live in the pig farm, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be speechless.

This… does it really have something to do with himself?!

With his mouth twitching repeatedly, Ye Xuan finally patted Murakami Haruki on the shoulder.

"Good luck."

……

After saying goodbye to Ye Xuan and returning to his country, Murakami Haruki continued to start his closed-door writing mode.

It was the same as usual: waking up at 4:00 AM every day, burying his head in writing all day, living a repetitive life.

A month later, the full manuscript of 《Postpartum Care for Sows》 was completed.

When the publishing house that worked closely with Murakami Haruki received the manuscript of this book, they were all a bit dumbfounded.

Why did Mr. Murakami suddenly change his style?!

Although they knew that Murakami Haruki's writing field had always been broad, it couldn't be broad enough to enter the pig-raising industry, right?!

Although the editors were a bit skeptical, out of trust in Murakami Haruki, the publishing house still set the initial print run at 100,000 copies.

Don't underestimate this number.

In the Japanese book publishing industry, the initial print run for most new authors is no more than 5,000 copies.

And Murakami Haruki has extremely high national popularity in Japan, so the publishing house's book print runs are naturally not low.

It's just that they never expected that this book would become a hit as soon as it was released.

First, the literary masters of Japan spoke out on Twitter one after another.

"Youth literature writer Watanabe Mei: Mr. Murakami has finally stepped out of his comfort zone and started challenging a new style!"

"Realist novelist Nakamura Ye: This book by Murakami Haruki simply exceeded all my predictions about him!"

……

Afterwards, on the reader's satisfaction survey ranking, this book ranked first on the satisfaction list as soon as it was published.

When the publishing house collected reader feedback, they were all dumbfounded.

"How did Mr. Murakami Haruki know that my family has been raising pigs recently? This book is simply written too well!"

"I used to think Mr. Murakami Haruki was out of touch, but now I think he is too grounded!"

"As an author who has liked Mr. Murakami Haruki for nearly twenty years, I am very happy that Mr. Murakami Haruki has found a brand-new style.

We all know that Mr. Murakami Haruki's limitation lies in his fictionalism, but now, he has broken his limitations and created new possibilities…"

……

And just under this wave of rave reviews, the publishing house soon learned the latest news from major bookstores.

In just one week, 《Postpartum Care for Sows》 was sold out in major bookstores across the country!

What does this mean?!

It means the popularity of this book far exceeds everyone's imagination!

The publishing house ushered in crazy reprints again.

At the same time, the publishing house also specifically invited Murakami Haruki to hold a book signing event.

The scene of the release event was packed with people, including many well-known authors and famous book critics.

After all, Murakami Haruki has always been reclusive, and it is not easy to see him.

When Murakami Haruki appeared, everyone's questions followed one after another.

"Mr. Murakami, how did you come up with the inspiration for this book?"

"Mr. Murakami, how do you view your new book?!"

……

Facing this stream of questions, Murakami Haruki's answer surprised everyone even more.

"This is an exclusive mental method I learned from Ye Xuan Sang! If you don't have inspiration in the future, just go raise some pigs!"

Can raising pigs give you inspiration?!

The media was half-skeptical as they recorded Murakami Haruki's words, and they published them in their reports the next day.

【Murakami Haruki's Exclusive Mental Method: If you don't have inspiration in the future, just go raise some pigs!】

【《Postpartum Care for Sows》 is a hit! Inspiration comes from raising pigs】

……

And after the rest of the writers in Japan learned about Murakami Haruki's so-called exclusive mental method, they all took action one after another.

Everyone's actions were quite consistent.

That is, go raise pigs!

Even if it doesn't necessarily work, what if it does?!
