This interest group is composed of capital and a group of writers who, by hanging works under his name, create a genius writer and achieve high sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this \"conspiracy theory,\" the \"Pro-Akiwara Faction\" naturally came out to refute it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them are Akiwara Yuto’s loyal readership, and they have always considered him a writer they \"love.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arguments they raise are also similar to the logic of Toyama Shuichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto came from a Fuli Academy in Hokkaido and was so poor that he had to come to Tokyo to work; these details can be found in previous newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with a background like that, what capital would he have to find ghostwriters to write for his works?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since Akiwara Yuto debuted so long ago, basically no writers in the mystery literature circle have come out to refute him, and they even awarded him the Mystery Writers Association Newcomer Award and the Uemura Prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This undoubtedly proves that he possesses genuine talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Akiwara Yuto really hired a large number of ghostwriters to create his work, then wouldn’t these writers be able to tell and hide it for him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dispute between the \"Anti-Akiwara Faction\" and the \"Pro-Akiwara Faction,\" more and more people began to join in and discuss related topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the topic fermented, besides newspapers, television and radio also began to report on it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On an 8 PM program on the NHK television station, a female host specifically invited two experts to discuss the possibility of Akiwara Yuto using a ghostwriter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Ikawa, Professor Ueno, regarding the recent topic of Akiwara Yuto using a ghostwriter, how do you two view it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two professors looked at each other, and one hesitated and said, \"From the current perspective, the possibility of using a ghostwriter is relatively low, but it is not entirely impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female host was dissatisfied, but she could not press them, so she could only follow the conversation: \"Please, Professor Ikawa, tell us more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Professor Ikawa said, \"If it were only one or two works with different writing styles, there are other writers in the literary world besides Mr. Akiwara who could do it. But it is a bit strange that the styles of so many works are not unified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female host was satisfied and was about to express an opinion, but she did not expect this Professor Ikawa to add, \"But Mr. Shimotake’s belief that there is a huge ghostwriting group behind Mr. Akiwara is also very unrealistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female host was speechless; what kind of bullshit experts did the station invite?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was fortunate that this matter was a hot topic of national concern, otherwise the ratings would have really plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, she had no choice but to play it safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this NHK program was just one of many media shadows, but unlike the restraint of major television stations like NHK, some local television stations or radio stations directly assumed that Akiwara Yuto used a ghostwriter, otherwise how could there be such a genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing this, the Keihan Press even approved an additional budget, pushing the waves even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the public opinion of both sides, the public was also confused: did Akiwara Yuto really use a ghostwriter or not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsutaya Bookstore Publishing originally wanted to find a public relations company to guide the situation, and even planned to invest a large amount of advertising money to defend Akiwara, but it was suppressed by Akiwara Yuto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, whether it is the operation of the bookstore or the subsequent filming of \"Japan Sinks,\" a large amount of capital is needed, and there is no need to waste it on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his \"plan\" is executed, all doubts will vanish into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to his surprise, just one day before he was about to hold a press conference, another piece of bad news popped up: a man named Funahiki Kuji believed that Akiwara Yuto had plagiarized his manuscript.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, the front-page headline of the \"Tokyo Shimbun\" published a transcript of the other party’s interview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akiwara Yuto’s 'Death of a Mystery Writer' is very similar to a work I previously submitted to Mantansha; both describe a story where a mystery writer dies and leaves behind a huge inheritance, and his juniors begin to scheme against each other to obtain it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my work was rejected at the time, and right at that time, Akiwara Yuto left Mantansha and relied on 'Death of a Mystery' to win the Mystery Writers Association’s Mystery Literature Newcomer Award!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I believe that Akiwara Yuto obtained the manuscript of this work from Mantansha through specific channels and then plagiarized and modified it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This makes me feel very painful and uncomfortable; I even went to see a doctor and was prescribed a lot of medication for depression... but the biggest problem is that my writing inspiration has completely disappeared, and because of this, I can’t write any excellent works!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So Akiwara Yuto is not a genius at all! He is just a despicable thief, a plagiarist!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want him to apologize to me publicly, and apologize to everyone he has plagiarized...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akiwara Yuto stopped reading when he saw this and threw it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are attention-seekers every year, but he didn’t expect another one to pop up here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that the other party was simply suffering from hysteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were another work, he might have considered whether it was a similar work from a parallel world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But \"Death of a Mystery\" was adapted from a Hollywood movie, and the train of thought was completely different from the local mystery techniques of Neon, so it had nothing to do with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, having said that, Neon society is a society that sympathizes with the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this \"Funahiki Kuji\" clown jumped out, presumably quite a few people will believe him, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asano and Xidao have had quite dark circles under their eyes lately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Chairman Kawai and the others have called recently to comfort him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, he shouldn’t let them continue to worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is time to put an end to these damn rumors!\u003C\u002Fp>",1219,"2026-06-21T03:58:02.196Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3cd1043b0ece34faaffb91c2974fabe9835613624c7027ac20e5689264209624","literary-master-of-tokyo-chapter-329","literary-master-of-tokyo-chapter-327",334,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliterary-master-of-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
