Chapter 113 Single Volume Sales (First Update!)
The first serialization of "Chainsaw Man" has been anticipated by many comic fans because it has the residual popularity of "Edge Walker" and Lin Qingshan.
As a result, the popularity of the first serialization of "Chainsaw Man" lived up to expectations, climbing to the sixth position in overall popularity.
This is the so-called masterpiece effect.
With "Edge Walker" at the forefront, everyone has more expectations for "Chainsaw Man".
Although the demonic setting of "Chainsaw Man" is not uncommon, it is eye-catching.
But this setting is definitely not bad, especially the setting of the concept demon, which is a bit new.
After all, what age are we, and we are still playing with traditional demons and religions.
Its plot and opening are even more explosive.
Especially the scene where the protagonist Denji sells eggs to pay off his debts is really tragic and funny.
And the plot that starts directly with killing and flesh and blood is also very refreshing.
It feels completely different from the first episode of "Edgewalker" which only introduced the setting and the origin of "Sian Westan".
After all, "Chainsaw Man" was Lin Qingshan's previous work as a cartoonist with mental illness, trying to commercialize it.
So it’s more refreshing to focus on one plot.
Official posts and comments on major forums also gave it good reviews.
"As always, it can be seen that the old thief Qingshan is not in a normal state of mind. This plot is so out of the ordinary that I was stunned for a while."
"After all, he is a cybermaniac, so it is understandable."
"Good guy, this male protagonist is probably the most miserable male protagonist I have ever seen. He has no father or mother, and he has to sell his own organs to pay off his debts."
"It looks really miserable, not only because of my miserable life experience, but my biggest dream is to eat bread with butter."
"Don't forget there are women, hahaha, it's so straightforward."
"You can look forward to it. Anyway, I enjoyed watching the first episode."
"The heroine is also quite special. The female characters painted by Mr. Qingshan are really special and charming. Lucy, Rebecca, and this time the heroine are all very beautiful and special!"
"The one above should be called Rebecca-chan~"
"So...have you forgotten Qiwei and David's mother?"
"Don't forget the lessons learned from "Edgewalker", maybe we will give you a full-scale attack later!"
…
When "Chainsaw Man" was serialized for the first time and sparked heated discussions, the sales volume of the first single volume of "Edgewalker" also came out.
"Moses Moses~Ayumi, what can you do?"
Lin Qingshan's familiar voice came over the phone, and Ayumi Ito couldn't hold back her excitement.
But she still suppressed her excitement and said, "Teacher Qingshan, congratulations! The sales volume of the first volume of "Edge Walker" has exceeded 1 million! It is very successful!"
Unlike the previous Japanese single-book sales of over 1 million, which was very rare, in the parallel world, the Republic is a country with a vast territory and a large population.
Sales of 1 million single volumes are just the entry standard for Republic comics to become popular.
This is also because the economy of the republic in this parallel world is extremely strong, which leads to good wages and benefits for the people in the local area.
Just like Lin Qingshan in the European and American countries in his previous life, he had accumulated a lot of wealth before.
Naturally, it can provide the best treatment and benefits to the people of this country, and they can spend as much as they can.
The same goes for republics in this world. Everyone’s welfare and treatment are pretty good.
Naturally, everyone is willing to pay for the genuine version.
There is a saying that goes, "If you have a solid warehouse, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace."
If everyone has no money, they will naturally support piracy. The first thing is to have enough to eat.
After a full meal, let’s talk about spiritual enjoyment and then talk about culture.
There is no problem with this.
And when everyone has money, it is natural to support the genuine version.
The republic of this world and its surrounding areas have a population of 1.5 billion. Even if a small number of people support the genuine version, it will be a huge sales volume.
It is precisely because of this that the sales volume of 1 million single copies of Parallel World is only the entry standard for popular works.
The sales of 10 million single copies or the total sales of 100 million copies are truly popular and phenomenal works.
But even so, it is very satisfying that "Edge Walker" can reach 1 million single-book sales so quickly.
This is because the comic company was conservative and only printed 1 million copies of the first edition of the single volume of "Edge Walker".
"That's fine!"
Lin Qingshan heard the excitement in Ito Ayumi's voice that could not be concealed at all, and said with a smile, "Then to celebrate, let's go out to eat at the Shandong restaurant with three-star tires tonight?"
Ayumi Ito was a little embarrassed, "I let Teacher Aoyama spend money again..."
"It's okay! It's time to celebrate, don't worry about money for me!"
Lin Qingshan said confidently, "It's a showdown, I'm a billionaire now!"
With his original parents' two properties in the Second Ring Road of the Imperial City and the balances on those bank cards, he is really a billionaire now.
"Oh well."
Ayumi Ito stopped worrying and said.
…
At this time, in the Imperial Capital, there was a computer laboratory.
The middle-aged man in a white lab coat was operating the laptop in front of him while looking at the experimental computers in the laboratory.
He put his fist on his mouth and looked very serious. Although he was wearing a pair of headphones on his head, he seemed to be recording experimental data seriously and writing an experimental report.
However, he did not notice that behind him, a man with a few gray hairs quietly appeared.
Li Yubin looked at his apprentice with great satisfaction. Sure enough, the new doctoral student was quite focused and diligent.
Then he would give him a little verbal reward and let him go to dinner early tonight.
He slowly approached his apprentice and was about to pat him on the shoulder and give him a few words of encouragement.
But at this time, Li Yubin saw...
The middle-aged man's laptop was not filled with experimental data or experimental reports, but...
A comic website with a video hanging there!
At this time, Zhang Haisheng suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and he shivered.
Then he turned around and saw... his mentor Li Yubin behind him.
He felt his body shiver, and a smile uglier than crying was squeezed out of his face, "Teacher... why are you here..."
Li Yubin snorted coldly, "Have you completed the experimental data and experimental report of IPC? What are you doing, tell me? Reading comics? So idle? Come on, there is an academic report next week, and you have to write the PPT and the paper for me, you must finish it for me!"
"...Yes."
Zhang Haisheng wanted to cry, but he had no way to refute it. After all, he was indeed slacking off...
Slacking off would be fine, but he was caught by the tutor on the spot...
There is really no reason.
"Humph."
Li Yubin snorted coldly, and then just as he was about to leave the laboratory...
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye on Zhang Haisheng's computer screen...
He immediately turned around and stared at Zhang Haisheng's screen, only to see a stage on Zhang Haisheng's screen that seemed to be a live interview, and the picture showed the profile of a tall and thin man.
"This is..."
Li Yubin widened his eyes.
Reporting the results, the average subscription was only 2200 by noon, which was indeed in line with the expected results, and I was also very satisfied.
So according to the update rules, we will update eight chapters today.
Then we will resume normal updates tomorrow!
