Chapter 55: Psychological

~7 min read 1,289 words

In August in Tokyo, the temperature is as high as 39.8 degrees, like a big oven that can roast people.

And it is also the hottest time of the year. Because of the influence of the temperate marine climate, the air is also particularly humid, making breathing feel very uncomfortable.

Now all the shops and shopping malls on the street basically have the air conditioning wind power turned to the maximum. But for the heat waves that strike from time to time on the street, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Akiwara Yuto has a deep understanding of this. Before moving, he couldn't sleep in the hot summer night because there was no air conditioning.

During the tossing and turning at that time, he suddenly realized that it is not unreasonable for a series of films in Japan to use Tokyo being very hot as a name!

However, he is asking Asano Aiko if she is free now, just to hitch a ride in the other party's car to an internet cafe.

After all, in this scorching weather, going out is equal to losing half a life.

After knowing Akiwara Yuto's request, Asano Aiko was speechless for a while, but agreed and drove him to the destination—it was the internet cafe Akiwara Yuto visited last time.

After paying at the front desk, the two walked into a small cubicle together. Because the space was not large, they could only sit together to watch the computer.

Asano Aiko looked at Akiwara Yuto close at hand, felt his breath, and suddenly felt that it seemed not bad like this...

Akiwara Yuto didn't notice Asano Aiko's expression change. He looked at the lit screen, skillfully clicked the mouse and tapped the keyboard, and after trying the password a few times, he logged into the forum he watched last time.

Soon, he found the search content related to "New Novel," and compared with before, the posts already had hundreds of them.

He clicked on one and read it, finding that the evaluation was much better. Although some users were sarcastic that the overall quality was not good, there were also a batch of users who gave good reviews and started a war of words with other users.

He studied the situation of these users and found that the accounts of the users who praised the works were mainly registered after July, and the concentrated reply time was mainly concentrated in August. It seems that they should be loyal readers who have read several issues in a row. The reply content is mainly "worth seeing," "highly recommended," "not bad," and other repetitive content.

He scanned it roughly, then slid the mouse, preparing to see the situation of other forums.

Asano Aiko beside him seemed to notice something at this time and pointed to the screen and said: "Akiwara, look at this one."

Akiwara Yuto followed the direction she pointed and saw a post with a high number of replies. He moved the mouse and clicked it open, finding that it was still posted by the loyal reader named "Arraycats" before.

He didn't have time to be surprised before he was attracted by the content in the post...

"Akiwara Yuto, there are 2 personalities in him, one is a child who is pure but likes darkness, and the other is a pervert who makes people creepy, but as a reader, sometimes I have to admit that even the perverted side has his own unique charm."

"In every article of his, the identity of the protagonist changes, young man who lost his girlfriend, twin sisters who were bullied, helpless children... these images are all vivid. When the extreme reality of the character image and the extreme absurdity of the plot are intertwined, a chemical reaction that is unparalleled is produced."

"In these articles, Akiwara Yuto, through the extreme excavation of the character's psychological state, expresses the most self-centered side of human beings in the form of first-person confession after taking off all disguises and defenses. In the process of reading, the perverted desires buried deep in the heart are released."

"In short, I have to admit that although Akiwara Yuto's writing is very dark, he is a rare genius writer."

Behind this content, there are many agreeing contents, and some even commented "This is an article that a criminal can write."

Akiwara Yuto thought for a moment, also tapped the keyboard, published a reply, indicating that he agreed with the landlord's view and believed that the author is a dark genius. Anyway, across the Internet, no one knows that he is evaluating himself.

Asano Aiko didn't expect Akiwara Yuto to have this kind of "praising himself" operation, and was dumbfounded for a while.

Akiwara Yuto finished replying with satisfaction, closed the post, and prepared to see if there was any relevant evaluation content for "Poem of Facing the Sun."

After all, if there was no book review by Miyagawa Yosuke, the sales of "New Novel" this week might not even reach 60,000 copies, which is a small setback.

He thought while sliding the mouse, and actually found relevant content. Inside, there was a detailed analysis of "Poem of Facing the Sun," believing that this article is the best one written in Akiwara Yuto's series of works.

The whole article was written for thousands of words, basically analyzing the article thoroughly, from why the author chose a robot girl as the protagonist, to why the man hid the robot's identity, all gave his own insights.

Even brain-opening, believing that the robot girl is not a new life but a resurrection, and the bacteria that caused the extinction of mankind were developed by humans themselves, and the purpose of making robots is to serve as combat weapons...

Akiwara Yuto was stunned while watching, and there were many things inside that he hadn't thought of himself.

However, the popularity of this post is obviously not as good as the exploration of other articles, with only a few 30 replies. You know, the previous "Little Decoration and Yoko" and "Seven Rooms" had hundreds of replies, which is extremely disparate.

He didn't hold much hope and dragged the post to continue reading, but to his surprise, many people gave good reviews.

"'Poem of Facing the Sun' is a good story. After reading it, I cried."

"The plot in the story is so uncomfortable. Why let the robot girl understand love and experience death?"

"I read it 3 times repeatedly, it's hard to forget."

"How can the girl face the loneliness behind her alone?"

Akiwara Yuto pulled to the end and suddenly saw the time, finding a misunderstanding of his own, that is, "Poem of Facing the Sun" has only been on sale for 3 days.

In other words, there are so many replies in less than 3 days, which is the most surprising. However, this is also inseparable from the best sales of this issue of the magazine.

He finished reading all the content and didn't find a few saying that he didn't like "Poem of Facing the Sun," just some readers commented that they preferred the previous horror-type works.

He thought for a moment, registered a vest named "Persecuting Zhenfei," and then went to leave messages under other posts one by one, inciting other readers to buy the latest issue of "New Novel."

After all, based on his experience in his past life, the reply content of female accounts often receives more attention.

Asano Aiko had been watching his operation, and after finding that he liked to use female accounts to leave messages, she was even more speechless in her heart.

Akiwara, your readers say you are a psychological pervert, maybe it's not wrong! ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
