In this case, as long as I push the boat smoothly, publish a book review to criticize the other party before my peers, I can gain a certain reputation for myself.

But this is not absolute.After all, as long as the follow-up development of this work is interesting enough, then this kind of critical book review will make yourself a joke.

Yuki Nishijima thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take a gamble and write a critical book review.

In his opinion, this work has been serialized for 4 issues, and the possibility of subsequent changes is relatively small.

But what title to use to attract readers?

He thought for a long time, and finally settled on a title - "Akihara Yuto, the Fall of a Literary Genius!" "

……

While Yuki Nishijima was writing vigorously, Shuichi Toyama, a professor of the Faculty of Letters at Kyoto University, fell into deep thought while watching "The Invisible Guest".

Kyoto University, referred to as "Kyoto University", is a strong liberal arts school with an old brand in Neon.

As a strong liberal arts school, the strength of the literature department of this university is naturally second to none, and even produced many authors who have won well-known awards.

In addition, Kyoto University has also established different research systems for different literary characteristics.

For different countries, there are German literature, Chinese literature, American and English literature, local literature, etc.; for different histories, there are classical literature, modern literature, modern literature, etc.; for literature types, there are reasoning literature, poetry literature, film literature, etc. .

The field of research of Shuichi Toyama is exactly the film literature in these literary genres.

The so-called "movie literature" is considered by many people to be an expression of "literary things in movies", but in Shuichi Toyama's view, it is "a high-level expression method in literature that can be expressed in movies."

In layman's terms, when readers read a literary work, they often have the feeling of watching a movie.

Although many people think that literary works and movies are nothing more than different forms of plot expression, no matter which one you watch, there is little difference.

But in fact, in order to meet the needs of readers, literary works are often expressed more explicitly, thereby lowering the reading threshold for readers.

In other words, most literary works, unless they are adapted by screenwriters, are far from being able to reflect the reader's movie-like experience.

However, a graduate student he brought contacted him recently and told him that there was a work that might meet the standard of "film literature".

And this work is "The Invisible Guest" in his hand.

To be honest, Shuichi Toyama was still a little dubious.

Although his research field is only "film literature", many fields of film literature and reasoning literature are intersected.

So he still has a certain understanding of this work that has a divided reputation in the small circle of reasoning literature.

His colleague, another professor who studies reasoning literature, has criticized this work in private, thinking that it is too deviant, and even deviates from the writing method of Neon's traditional reasoning works.

In this case, how can this work give readers a movie-like experience?

Maybe my students have misread it?

He didn't know much about Akihara Hiroto, but he knew more or less about him from a series of previous news reports, and understood that the other party had won the Newcomer Award for Mystery Literature.

But in his opinion, Hiroto Akihara is still too young, and he has not debuted for a long time. It is undoubtedly very difficult to write works that satisfy readers in more than half a year.

Maybe he should experience a failure?Only by climbing the road in the literary world for a longer time?

Yuan Shanxiu thought for a while, then lowered his head and continued to look.

Time was passing by bit by bit. After 3 hours, he finished watching nearly four issues of "The Invisible Guest". Then, he fell into hesitation...

Although the plot has not been revealed at all yet, the way the story is depicted does make people feel like watching a movie, and it is also the "reminiscence narrative technique" of the filming technique.

The so-called "reminiscence narrative technique" refers to the cross-narration of reality and memory through the memories of the protagonist or non-protagonist, and slowly reveal the true appearance of a story in the continuous narrative.

For example, in the four issues of "The Invisible Client", through the continuous dialogue between the female lawyer and the client, one story after another was uncovered.

To be honest, this kind of narrative technique is not uncommon, and there is nothing that can surprise Shuichi Toyama.

But when this narrative technique and reasoning are combined, it is a completely different concept.

In traditional memory narratives, the heroes and heroines often recall the past, and their memories are often real, and there is no difficulty in watching them.

But Hiroto Akihara's work, through the mouth of a female lawyer, exposed the fact that the client was unwilling or even concealed.

In other words, are the memories that the client, Nobuyuki Sugo said, really true?

The obvious point in it is the inconsistency of Nobuyuki Sugo's statement about his lover.

When the accident happened, his lover Makiko immediately arranged how to deal with the scene of the accident and deal with the accident car, looking very sensible.

But such a rational person behaved in panic at the deceased's parents' home?And the wrong move of putting your phone under the sofa cushion?

If it's not that the author conceived a deviation, then the character in the plot, that is, Nobuyuki Sugo, lied!

Apart from this, did the young driver really die because he hit the curb?

And what other lies did Nobuyuki Sugo say?What is the final truth?

Yuan Shanxiu couldn't help being attracted to the play, and even discovered a fact.

Although I can see and guess these true and false clues, many readers may give up further reading because of the high reading threshold.

In this way, readers who like this work will probably like it very much, and readers who hate it will probably hate it too!

The works of Mr. Akihara seem to have his own thoughts in them!

Toyama Ouyi held the pen and was silent for a long time, then took out the pen and paper, and prepared to write a review in the literary journal of Kyoto University to support this young "genius author".

After crossing out several titles, he finally wrote a title that he was satisfied with - "Akihara Hiroto: The Pioneer Who Created the Combination of Reasoning Literature and Film Literature"!

[Chapter 180.179 Suspension and Counterattack! ]

Time passed quickly, and another half a week went by.

However, within the literary critic circle, there are two distinct schools of opinion regarding Hiroto Akihara's "The Invisible Hakka".

One group, represented by Yuki Nishijima, thinks that this work is too deviant and mysterious, which adds a lot of reading barriers to readers and proves that Hiroto Akihara is exhausted.

The other school, represented by Shuichi Toyama, believes that this work adopts a different writing technique, which is an innovative attempt of neon reasoning literature, and Hiroto Akihara should be given more patience.

Under the confrontation between the two factions, the work "The Invisible Guest" has entered the eyes of more book reviewers, and it has also caused many book reviewers who originally wanted to wait and see what happened to come out and express their opinions.

However, unlike Yuki Nishijima and Shuichi Toyama, these new book reviewers, considering that the serialization has not yet ended, do not know how the subsequent plot will develop.

So in order to avoid the possibility of "overturning", they only published some relatively "neutral and conservative" criticisms or praises.

But no matter what, due to the extreme controversy of the work "The Invisible Guest", it grabbed a place on the extremely tense newspaper pages in early December.

Many readers who haven't read this work have also been aroused, wondering what kind of reasoning Akihara Hiroto wrote.
