I feel very honored to be invited by Professor Toyama to give a lecture at Kyoto University this time. At the same time, I also feel a sense of trepidation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To tell the truth, I only have a high school diploma, so everyone present today has a much higher level of education than I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Akiwara Yuto was saying \"humble\" words, the expression on his face was very confident. Japanese society has always believed in the strong, and he had already achieved results. Therefore, even if his educational background was a bit lower, he was not worried that the audience would have different thoughts because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the audience, many students who were preparing to take notes were surprised to hear Akiwara Yuto talk about his educational background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before today's lecture, many people only knew that Akiwara Yuto was a talented writer praised by book critics, and they really knew nothing about his educational background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But many people had other thoughts in their minds; he could debut and write so many works with only a high school diploma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The talent of this Mr. Akiwara is truly far beyond that of a normal person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto glanced at the people in the audience and then got to the point: \"Since the 20th century, the Western literary world has continuously derived various literary schools and theories. But in my opinion, no matter what literary theory it is, it ultimately cannot be separated from the carrier of the story. And regarding the description of a story, the most important thing is the narrative technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto held a pen and wrote the four characters \"Multi-perspective Narrative\" on the board in front of the podium, and the students and teachers below also became serious one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multi-perspective narrative is an important research direction in narratology theory, and it has been valued and studied by many scholars since the 1980s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the listeners present were from the Department of Literature, and just by looking at these words, they knew that this Mr. Akiwara was by no means the kind of gifted writer who knew nothing about literary theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, most people began to move their pens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto glanced at Toyama Shuichi from afar, and then said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding my work 'The Invisible Guest', Professor Toyama specially published a paper pointing out that my article adopts a 'recollective narrative technique', which makes the story development constantly reverse. I personally express my great approval. But I will add one point, which is that in terms of angle, I adopted a mixture and interweaving of the God's-eye view and the specific character's perspective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many listeners subconsciously glanced at Toyama Shuichi, and the latter smiled politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the multi-perspective narrative of this work, I adopted the following aspects.\" Akiwara Yuto picked up his pen and wrote the four words \"Locked Room,\" \"Identity,\" and \"Human Nature\" on the board respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto pointed to the word \"Locked Room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding the narrative of the locked-room murder case, it appeared four times in the work. The first time was the self-narration of the client, Sukō Nobuyuki, constructing a 'non-existent murderer' and a locked-room murder, making the reader really think he was wronged and sympathize with him. By the second and third times, it was the lawyer Watanabe Saki who pushed everything onto the victim's father, Yamazaki Ryū, in order to clear his name. By the fourth time, it was the lawyer Watanabe Saki who revealed the truth. First, the role of this perspective shift...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto first analyzed it from the reader's perspective, pointing out that due to the shift of different perspectives, the reader's psychological emotions underwent huge changes and established emotional identification with the characters. And due to the constant conflict of intersecting perspectives, the readers themselves fell into confusion and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the perspective shift regarding the locked-room narrative, Akiwara Yuto talked about the issue of identity transformation in different narratives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this work, the deceased, Makiko, was never present. The reader's understanding of her can only be learned from the conversations between Sukō Nobuyuki and Watanabe Saki. According to Sukō's account the first time, her identity was the mastermind, a person who would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. But in the end, it turned into a victim who was killed for justice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The vicious image deliberately buried in the early stage produced a huge reversal after being narrated by different characters. And these reversals and suspense made the readers have to concentrate their energy, focus on constantly studying the development of the story plot, and wait for the final revelation of the story's mystery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the mystery was revealed, all the readers breathed a sigh of relief, their emotions were finally released, and they obtained spiritual satisfaction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Akiwara Yuto finished this part of the content, both the teachers and students in the audience showed expressions of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this lecture started, basically everyone had already read the work \"The Invisible Guest,\" but no one could have imagined that Akiwara Yuto had conceived the work from this angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was even more incredible was that while reversing, Akiwara Yuto was also constantly guiding the readers' emotions, letting their mentality and emotions change along with the development of the story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap, clap, clap, clap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone applauded one after another, and for a time the entire tiered classroom was filled with enthusiastic applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto put down his pen, and only after the applause ended did he point to the word \"Human Nature\" on the board and continue to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this story, everyone is actually lying, and the boundary between lies and truth is also blurred because of morality and human nature. But isn't all this different from the current situation in Japanese society?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wealthy class can sacrifice the lives of others to clear the way for themselves for the sake of honor, assets, and even status. And ordinary people, if they don't have the courage and wisdom of the Yamazaki couple, can only end up being slaughtered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I wrote this work, and I also want all readers to think deeply and consider the problems between people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto put down the pen in his hand, placed both hands on the desk of the podium, and looked around at everyone with a scrutinizing gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The students here today will all be elites in society in the future, and some people's careers may even be more successful than Sukō Nobuyuki's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But no matter what, I hope everyone can firmly remember. Although there is a gap in wealth and status between people, in terms of personality and dignity, people are ultimately equal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I hope that all students will not trample on others at will for their own interests.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, the ending that Sukō Nobuyuki faced is the future you will encounter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing these words, everyone, including students and professors, was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could have imagined that Akiwara Yuto would make such a \"threat\" at the end of the lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Akiwara Yuto actually had his own thoughts about these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Japanese society, although there has always been public opinion that the strong should care for the weak, in fact, various bullying and trampling on the interests of others are often common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, various prestigious schools have also become a very serious \"disaster area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Keio University, known as the number one private institution in Asia, was exposed for collectively assaulting female students and even filming the process with mobile phones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, students from many prestigious schools led by Waseda University even formed a club called \"superfree\" and assaulted more than 400 women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn't been reported by newspapers, in the social background of Japan where academic qualifications are prioritized, these prestigious school students would inevitably become high-level figures in politics and business in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, I don't know how many victims there would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So at today's lecture, Akiwara Yuto said such words. After all, in his view, he was now a writer with a certain social status, so he should really do something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guiding the students at the scene not to do evil was another important goal for him besides \"making a name\" in the academic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this goal might not have any benefits for him, there are some things that are not necessarily done only when there are benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, the people in the audience finally came to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Toyama Shuichi and Sugimoto Yamato, everyone applauded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a small number of people were dissatisfied, the applause of the majority was sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Mr. Akiwara might be a writer who truly cares about society!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a writer is also worthy of their respect!\u003C\u002Fp>",1487,"2026-06-21T03:58:01.347Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f1a709f8445ba00ec022408b82b50e26225237f2686cf81fa4126dd4b3911d5f","literary-master-of-tokyo-chapter-184","literary-master-of-tokyo-chapter-182",334,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliterary-master-of-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
