Chapter 361: Chapter 340 Progress of Health Task_1
“Poirot is actually getting his own series!”
“I saw this coming from the first two stories. Chu Kuang used Poirot as the main character. In the past, when people read detective novels, they focused on the case and reasoning, not the characters. Chu Kuang’s detective novels have got me interested in more than just the case, it feels like a breath of fresh air.”
“Chu Kuang’s detective stories are character-focused.”
“After all, Chu Kuang started out writing fantasy novels, his way of thinking is obviously different from traditional detective writers, focusing on character development and exploring human nature is a pretty normal thing. The ending of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ is proof of that. Only Chu Kuang would allow the protagonist to let the murderer go!”
“I hope they don’t let the murderer go in the future.”
“I guess Chu Kuang wouldn’t dare to do similar stuff too often, after all, fighting violence with violence is not a positive thing, it’s just that when the law cannot protect us, we have no choice but to take up arms.”
“Sure, I like Poirot!”
“Another fascinating Poirot detective show, Chu Kuang is trying to build Poirot into the top detective in the industry. There aren’t many mystery writers on Blue Star who keep writing about the same protagonist. Perhaps this is a good attempt!”
“…”
With Chu Kuang writing two successive novels with Poirot as the main character, Poirot blew up in popularity. Many people have remembered this character, so when Silver Blue officially announced a Poirot series, the readers were generally receptive.
The fans of crime fiction were also invested in ‘Styles Manor Case’.
If anybody wasn’t too thrilled, it would probably be Chu Kuang’s fans who aren’t interested in detective fiction.
Chu Kuang has written a lot of novels and has accumulated many fans.
However, not all of Chu Kuang’s fans followed him in his constant genre-switching.
A regular reader, even if they really like an author, might not read the author’s new book if it’s in a genre they are not interested in.
It’s only human.
So while Chu Kuang is gaining more fans, some fans of certain genres are actually “dropping off” at the same time.
Like fans of his fantasy novels.
The truly loyal fans who follow him no matter what genre he writes, are still a minority after all.
However, the thing about Chu Kuang is…
His readers aren’t actually “lost”, it’s more accurate to say they are “dormant”.
As long as Chu Kuang continues to write the genre they are interested in, these fans would instantly be awakened.
Also, the number of readers willing to follow Chu Kuang in different genres is constantly increasing. Perhaps due to the genius displayed by Chu Kuang, more and more people are starting to admire him.
There are always some idols who are charming enough that no matter what they write, the fans are willing to pay for it.
It’s a bit like chasing celebrities.
Diehard fans, no matter how bad their favorite artist performs or how poorly they sing, can accept it all.
Of course.
Chu Kuang doesn’t belong to that group of terrible ones, on the contrary, he’s so excellent that many people call him “abnormal”.
After all, it’s Xian Yu in the south and Chu Kuang in the north.
It’s worth mentioning that while the response to ‘Styles Manor Case’ has been pretty good, the overall evaluation was definitely not as good as the previous two mysteries.
This was within everyone’s expectations, and no one will criticize Chu Kuang for being over the hill.
After all, ‘The Murder of Roger Ackroyd’ pioneered the narrative trickery mode.
As for ‘Murder on the Orient Express’, it’s a work that completely blew up the entire detective circle.
If ‘Styles Manor Case’ was of that caliber, it would be too exaggerated, even the abnormal should have a limit.
Not to mention, this story is commendable.
Like all outstanding serial stories.
The upper limit of the Poirot series is very high, but the lower limit is certainly not low!
As long as the quality of this series stays within a range that keeps the readers engaged, it’d be a successful series.
The well-known ‘Sherlock Holmes’ series operates on the same principle: the stories vary in quality.
The important thing is to maintain the minimum standard.
And as this series continues, Poirot will inevitably ascend to the pantheon of detective fiction one day, Lin Yuan can see this coming.
Ultimately, this Silver Treasure Chest is too good!
It directly elicited the Poirot Series for me!
Does this mean I won’t have to plan too much for long novels for a year or two?
Lin Yuan worked it out, there are a total of 38 novels in the Poirot series.
There are 33 medium-length novels.
Excluding ‘Styles Manor Case’ and other already published stories, there are still 30 medium-length stories left.
These 30 books, following a pace of one book per month, can last more than two years.
Even if Lin Yuan wanted to shorten this timeframe, it would still take at least a year to complete the serialization of the entire Poirot series.
Considering the system’s requirements for him, Lin Yuan thought he might need to shorten this time somewhat.
If that doesn’t work out, he could intermix some other genres in between?
Plans cannot keep up with changes, so Lin Yuan didn’t make any strict plans.
After the release of ‘Styles Manor Case’, Lin Yuan asked the system to display his data.
[Name: Lin Yuan]
[Music Prestige Value: 800,000]
[Literature Prestige Value: 830,000]
[Painting Prestige Value: 270,000]
[Film and Television Prestige Value: 220,000]
[Calligraphy Prestige Value: 33,300]
Lin Yuan didn’t pay much attention to the data at the back, he mainly looked at the prestige value for literature and music.
Because he has a long-term task, many of the things Lin Yuan does are for this task.
[Task name: Health is the Prerequisite for Revolution]
[Task content: Prestige for both literature and music categories each breaking one million]
[Task reward: The host can live to thirty years old healthily without illness or disaster]
[Task note: The standard for ‘health’ refers to a physique carefully maintained by the system, far surpassing ordinary people. Additionally, this task will remain effective until the host reaches twenty-seven years old.]
This is the task that Lin Yuan took when he was a sophomore.
He checked the content of this task again today mainly because he realized that this task is almost completed.
Although the prestige of literature and music has not reached the task requirement of breaking one million, they have both reached around 800,000.
He only needs another 200,000.
If Lin Yuan steps it up, he will succeed!
At that time, Lin Yuan will have a healthy body. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
A healthy body means more time and energy.
Although Lin Yuan has the system’s energy potion now, which often gives him the effect of a healthy body, it is not as thorough a solution as this task.
After all, it’s a comprehensive solution!
Including problems like damaging his vocal cords, you know, without the energy potion, Lin Yuan wouldn’t even dare to stay up late—
Now, Lin Yuan is considered wealthy.
For wealthy people, health is the greatest wealth.
