Yuki Yanagai put down the manuscript in his hand with unfulfilled satisfaction. It has been a long time since I saw such a good book that I could read in one go. Campus, reasoning, youth, and growth. After reading it, I felt like I was young and I wanted to go back to campus and do it again.

This work does not have any thrilling murder incidents that are popular now, nor does it have complicated and ingenious killing techniques. It will not allow readers to rack their brains to compete with the clues given by the author, and try to reason about the murderer one step earlier than the protagonist.

Although such traditional mystery novels have unique charm and sparks of intellectual collision, many people actually don’t like to read such tiring novels. After all, the high-pressure life in Japan in the workplace has made everyone exhausted. If you want to read a book and relax your brain in your spare time, do you still have to rack your brain like doing math problems?

Moreover, as the recruitment generation grows up, young people in the Heisei era have gradually become a group that cannot be ignored among readers. In order to cater to the market, the overall trend of novels must also move closer to the taste of this group. This is not a writing style that the author can unilaterally determine, but the result of the joint action of the author-publisher-reader, the market system.

Survive in the world, and the fittest survive. In the text publishing industry, except for a few talented people, even if they stick to their own writing style and subject matter, they can change the market atmosphere and cultivate readers' tastes by themselves, most authors can only adapt to the market wave to write.

Those who clearly do not have extraordinary talents but have extraordinary confidence will only get traumatized under the laws of heaven called readers' tastes. For most authors, only by adapting to market trends can they stand out under this system.

Nowadays, the Heisei generation has become an emerging market audience. They are the generation who grew up watching comics and prefer trendy and relaxing works. This is also the background of the era when light novels become popular.

The Kakugawa Sneaker Library where Yumi Yanagata is located is a young Xiang Library under Kakugawa. Compared with several other Kakugawa's library, although the Sneaker Library is also a library for young readers, it has a wide range of targets and a rich variety of works.

In recent years, the above policy is to gradually open up the market for light novels, but the results are really hard to describe. The works discovered are only niche works, which are not as literary as traditional novels, and popular as mainstream light novels, and their positioning is very embarrassing.

Although Yumi Yanagida has only been working here for more than a year, the old employees around her often complain about the decisions of some companies when they go to an izakaya for dinner after get off work and compare the achievements of several Kakugawa's library banks. Over time, she also has some understanding of the industry situation and the situation of her own company.

The work in front of you can be read as a mystery novel, discovering clues to the truth from the lines, or as a youth campus novel, and enjoying a relaxing journey with the plot easily.
