A super great writer in the second dimension

　Sanzenin Arashi didn't ask Sebastian for help in this matter. If he had to ask him for help in this matter, wouldn't he be a useless person?

　AngelBeats!! It only took one day to pass the review because Yukino Yukinoshita's family has connections in the government. The person in charge of the review was dispatched by the Ministry of Home Affairs, and coincidentally, the person in charge of this group was a friend of Yukino Yukinoshita's father.

　So it was very simple: AngelBeats!! passed the sales screening and obtained a price approval of 8800 yen.

　In an era where creators are endlessly exploited, in this age of capital, Sanzenin Arashi's decision to fund and develop the game himself is truly a unique phenomenon in the industry.

　He can keep all the profits; he only needs to pay a commission to the advertising distributors.

　Well... the creator is just an employee. The boss wants to make games, so he finds a worker to make games for him. It's kind of like investing technology as equity.

　Sitting in the office, Sanzenin Arashi had her first open and honest discussion with Yukino Yukinoshita about the revenue generation of the NNV studio.

　He took out his laptop, placed it on the table, turned on the screen, and began calculating sales forecasts in front of Yang Nai.

　“My assessment is very accurate,” Sanzenin Arashi said with a sigh. “We’re talking about serious matters now. I’m going to have you do a few important things, so you need to have a clear idea of ​​what to do.”

　Yukino Yukinoshita naturally wouldn't question what Sanzenin Arashi said.

　If this man is incompetent, she wouldn't have chosen him.

　Not to mention, she had given her body to him for the first time. Originally, Yukino Haruno thought that after working under Sebastian, she would no longer have the idea of ​​wanting to please someone.

　However, she went and flattered Sanzenin Arashi, even going to his bed and having sex with him, and had physical relations with another man.

　"Currently, we have 39601 online orders. Since last night's count, we've had about 4,000 more pre-orders in just over ten hours." Sanzenin Arashi's fingers flew across the keyboard. "Our total sales are currently around 350 million yen. However, based on linear calculations, my expected online order volume is 70,000 units, and sales through multiple channels are around 100,000 units. AngelBeats!! We already commissioned production yesterday. After deducting costs, this is the final amount our studio will receive."

　After typing in a bunch of numbers, he glanced at them and said, "Around 310 million yen. That's the minimum amount we can get this time. I've calculated the sales of the elastic products, and the final revenue for AngelBeats!! should be around 800 million yen."

　Yukino Yukinoshita was increasingly alarmed as she looked at it. As a top student in finance herself, she could certainly understand this.

　This is just the profit NNV Studio made in its first month and a half.

　So how much profit can NNV Studio generate if it operates for a year?

　This completely blows away 50% of Japanese companies!! This is clearly just a game studio.

　As the saying goes, the market is created by people, and there is no upper limit; the population size only limits this share.

　The girl inwardly mocked her university professor. Before the economic star rises, no one can see its brilliance. Before oil was discovered in that godforsaken place of Africa, how many people thought Africa could make so much money?

　Before Amazon, who would have imagined that goods could be sold globally via the internet?

　Arashi Sanzenin meticulously planned for a month. He wrote a novel, uploaded it for free on Nico Nico Douga, all in order to achieve a celebrity effect. He hoped that his readers would buy the game "AngelBeats!!" because it was his work.

　Even if they never play visual novels, the essence of visual novels is novels. People who like to read their own novels, not to mention anything else, there are many people who would buy Bakemonogatari alone.

　When a reader buys their first visual novel, it means they've entered this world.

　The market for GAL games is expanding!

　The number of people who read novels has been expanded by Sanzenin Arashi. 100,000 is just a small number. With so many people reading novels, a good novel will only become more exciting when it is turned into a visual novel. With the addition of pictures and sound, it will become even more magnificent.

　In this situation, fans of Sanzenin Arashi would not hesitate to buy this visual novel game if they could afford it.

　You don't need to date the girls in it; just treat it like a novel.

　This is what Sanzenin Arashi will entrust to Yukino Yukinoshita next.

　"I hope you can find someone to help turn the AngelBeats!! game into an app, reduce the CG by ten times, divide the text into four parts, and make it into an app to sell on Android and iOS markets." How could Sanzenin Arashi abandon players with average economic means?

　He had, of course, already devised a plan: for people with average financial means, he would treat AngelBeats!! as a paperback edition, package it in A1PP, and then sell it.

　Now I'm famous!

　We no longer need the paper library's channels, and we no longer need to share profits with them. We can sell the novels ourselves. Sanzenin Arashi originally took 20% of the revenue from each book. After deducting channel fees, the paper library took at least 40%. Why should they do that?

　Even if this app only sells 100,000 copies, at 300 yen per copy, the revenue share will still be three times higher than that of Sword Art Online with 100,000 copies sold!

　As expected, Yukino Yukinoshita looked serious after hearing this: "So, Boss, are you at the light novel station?"

　Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "Don't worry about that, just do it."

　Admittedly, if this happened to Sanzenin Arashi, he would also be unhappy that his subordinates were making extra money and no longer using his channels for promotion.

　Anyone would feel uncomfortable in this situation, let alone Shinazugawa Bunko.

　However, Sanzenin Arashi is an author and a businessman. Let's discuss business from a business perspective. He is not a pure creator. It's a very simple question: If I can sell my own work better, why should I continue to sell it through you?

　So what if he's unhappy? Sanzenin Arashi decided to ignore the paperback's opinion. After all, he hadn't breached the contract, and Shinazugawa couldn't say anything.

　..

146. Shocking news! Shiina-sensei is living with someone, and there are pictures!

　Arashi Sanzenin initially published the book "Sword Art Online" because he was short of money but needed funds to operate, which is why he did it.

　Originally, the profit from one Sword Art Online book was roughly equivalent to five Angel Beats!!

　However, in the paperback release, Sanzenin Arashi would at most receive one-third of the profits from AngelBeats!!.

　The difference is a full fifteen times! That difference in share all went into other people's pockets.

　However, with a large number of fans, he can sell his products well without needing Shinazugawa's channels.

　After learning this trick, Sanzenin Arashi even considered writing another novel.

　There are many books in my past life with good premises, but the plot is a major flaw. The author may not have noticed it while writing, but after the story is finished, you can see many problems when looking at the whole story.

　Just as modern people view World War II, some famous generals' decisions in the war seem like those of idiots to people today, because they were in that environment and were limited by the amount of information available.

　For example, regarding the Pearl Harbor attack, many people questioned why the Combined Fleet didn't destroy the supply depots at Pearl Harbor. Instead, it gave the United States a pretext to enter the war.

　The commander had no idea about this.

　There's a lot of oil near Pearl Harbor? Sorry, I didn't know that!

　You know I'm not going to blow it up? Of course I'm going to blow it up!

　If hundreds of millions of tons of fuel oil were burned, Pearl Harbor's fuel oil reserves would be half of the entire United States' total reserves. They would have known I wasn't going to blow up the ships, but I would have.

　The reality is that Yamamoto of the Combined Fleet had no idea there was so much oil there; he thought it was just an ordinary oil storage warehouse, with a maximum capacity of only a million tons.

　However, Sanzenin Arashi is like someone looking at World War II from a modern perspective; she can adapt the plots of many light novels, elevating them to a higher level.

　For example, the book "Date A Live".

　This book describes the story of spirits appearing in the material world.

　According to the background of the Kabbalah Tree, all elves live in Avalon and do not appear in the outside world. When they do appear in the outside world, they bring unparalleled disasters, such as the "Spacequake".

　The story is about a high school student named Itsuka Shido who encounters spirits and gradually adds them to his harem.

　To be fair, the plot of Date A Live is quite loose.

　Their strength is undeniable. Despite not receiving the same level of promotion as Sword Art Online and not having received much preferential treatment in terms of resources, they still sold 70,000 to 80,000 copies in the first week of release.

　The author himself does not manage his own fan group, which is completely different from the situation of Sanzenin Arashi.

　But the girls in the book are very attractive.

　Whether it's Tohka Yatogami, Kurumi Tokisaki, or Kotori Itsuka, they are all very attractive girls.

　However, the plot of this book is seriously flawed.

　If Sanzenin Arashi were to release the story himself, he could portray Itsuka Shido as someone who knows the background of the spirits, but he refuses to say so and even goes on dates with girls. In reality, he is a super big boss, but he has countless connections with the original spirits. The two are in a love-hate relationship and are actually biological siblings.

　Not only that, you can also set it up that Kotori Itsuka is actually Shido Itsuka's daughter, and you can play the role of a demon father raising any kind of role.

　Then you could also set Origami Tobiichi as a rich young lady who can't have a normal life because of the AST incident, but she loves Itsuka Shido and is willing to follow him for life.

　Even if Itsuka Shido has relationships with more than ten girls, Origami Tobiichi doesn't care, as long as she's one of them.

　This kind of love, which highlights various themes, is undoubtedly a morbid love for Origami Tobiichi, and this is also the case in the original work. What Arashi Sanzenin wants to do is to amplify this love, expand its scope, and make it attract more people.

　Selfless love, mad love, morbid love... and so on.

　When all this love comes together, it is the salvation of the spirits.

　With Sanzenin Arashi's literary talent, this kind of writing would definitely be a bestseller. As a person with strong diplomatic skills, Sanzenin Arashi is very good at expressing his meaning with words.

　In fact, he had already prepared the outline for "Date A Live" long ago.

　This is the first step towards profitable online literature!

　Once mobile reading takes off, the online literature market can be opened up, gradually squeezing out the light novel market and attracting all writers to submit their works to Sanzenin Arashi.

　After assigning this task to Yukinoshita Haruno, Sanzenin Arashi began planning doujinshi events.

　C89 is starting in a month.

　All the major doujinshi circles are in full swing with preparations. Those drawing doujinshi have already started sketching the lines. Sanzenin Arashi's original doujinshi has been handed over to Sawamura Sayuri for sale. NNV, the studio behind the doujinshi, also has to put something out there.

　Although this doujin event won't make a lot of money, it's crucial. C89 is the world's largest doujin event, attracting the attention of all anime and manga fans. Sanzenin Arashi believes this is a great opportunity to further enhance her fame.

　However, he had no intention of selling anything at C89; those books were enough, and Sanzenin Arashi had other plans.

　After returning home, Sanzenin Arashi started typing on his computer, outlining his plans in a document.

　This is a plan called the FFF Group.

　Type out a few outlines on the text, then expand on the content, and the entire activity plan is finalized.

　The content is very simple: just put a blood-red F on your clothes on C89 day. Those who can afford it can also wear a special uniform.

　Arashi Sanzenin opened a drawing software, drew the wizard's pointed hat uniform of the FFF group, and then posted it on Twitter with Aya. He even pinned it to the top of the comments section on Nico Nico Douga. He then opened Mashiro's Twitter account to take a look.

　Seeing the nearly 200,000 followers, Sanzenin Arashi couldn't help but sigh that Shinazugawa Bunko's recommendation was really not as powerful as Shueisha's Jump. If he were to serialize his own manga and create something that would be considered nationally popular, he could easily have over a million followers.

　The truth is, many people don't watch anime, but they read JUMP and use Twitter.

　These people are potential evangelists for the anime and manga community; they are the kind of people you can bring into the circle.

　Mashiro is no pushover either. Sanzenin Arashi smiled as she looked at the comments section of Twitter, then paused in surprise.

　He saw a pinned photo on Twitter, and the person in the photo was none other than...

　It's Sanzenin Arashi herself!!!

　[Shiina Mashiro: Arashi-kun helped me a lot. His Baumkuchen was delicious, and I didn't have to clean up. He also gave me a lot of advice on the manga. Everyone should check out the Nico Nico Douga website; the novels there are really good.]

　[Holy crap, Shiina-sensei, you're living with someone?!]

　[Holy crap, isn't that Aoyama-sensei, the author of Sword Art Online?!]

　【Oh my god, he's so handsome~ Is Aoyama-sensei really that handsome?】←This is a girl.

　I discovered I actually saw a picture of Professor Aoyama!!!

　..

147. Warrior of Love, Maru, launch!

　The nights in November are a bit chilly, but the area around Chiba JR station is still quite noisy.

　The sound of car engines drifted in through the window and into Sanzenin Arashi's ears.

　Sanzenin Arashi remembered that she did say yesterday that she asked Mashiro to promote the website, since they couldn't just leave such a large fan base unused.

　But why did she end up posting her own photo there...?

　The photo on the computer screen showed Sanzenin Arashi sleeping peacefully, her expressionless face like a painting.

　That's right! This is a photo of her sleeping!

　Sanzenin Arashi seemed to see herself sleeping in her bedroom, and Mashiro came over with her phone and snapped a picture...

　This sense of déjà vu made him rub his forehead. Of course, Mashiro just took the picture without caring about anything else. She probably thought that since it was for publicity, there should be a picture of the person in the picture.

　That's right, to promote Aoyama Arashi, you need to have a photo of Aoyama Arashi himself.

　This logic is actually quite easy to understand. For example, if my uncle gives me a lollipop, I think he's a really nice person. If he invites me to play, I'll go play with him.

　This logic is truly amazing.

　Look how straightforward Mashiro's writing is.

　Lan-kun's Baumkuchen was delicious. Lan-kun is very diligent in cleaning. Lan-kun gave a lot of suggestions regarding the comics.

　Sanzenin Arashi hurriedly ran to Mashiro's room and saw that her computer was on and she was sitting in front of it sketching lines, so she patted her on the shoulder.

　"?" The little girl looked at Sanzenin Arashi with a puzzled expression.

　“Twitter…” Sanzenin Arashi hurriedly said, “Delete my photos, quick!”
