Chapter 292: This Span Is Too Big, Isn’t It?

In addition to credibility, there are two other points, which are the reader's identification and originality.

These two points are even better in "Sherlock Holmes"!

There is no need to say more about the reader's identification. It is precisely because of the imperfect characterization of the old thief that the character of Holmes is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Holmes is both wise and kind, but he still has various flaws, but these flaws give Holmes a layer of "Gothic" dark charm.

If the above is emotional identification, then rational identification is Holmes' logical reasoning.

According to what Su Xuan said to his son Sun Xiao, he hopes that his son will not only see the surface of things. Once the old thief's book is published, as a book fan, it will be over. We must think carefully about why the old thief's book can be successful.

...

There are many factors that make this "The Sign of Four" so popular, and the confession of the criminal is as epic as always!

What really made many people in the industry highly praise it was that this book exposed the ugly behavior of the colonists from the West in that era, who were wearing the cloak of "sacred cause" and exploiting and plundering Indiana.

It exposed the hypocrisy, greed and cruelty of these colonists! !

Especially in Indiana, the popularity of "The Sign of Four" is no less than that in Hawaii and England!

It feels like...

[Finally someone said it! ]

For a long time, the states have been somewhat silent about the colonial era, but this book by Lao Zei broke the silence!

Many netizens may say:

"Isn't this a thing of the past?"

But these pains are permanent, and they will not be forgotten even after another fifty or a hundred years!

The sales of Indiana books have never been high in Kyushu, but the appearance of "The Sign of Four" has broken the sales record of local books in Indiana. Even if you don't read it, those who can afford it will support it!

…

The case itself is not very exciting in this book, but Lao Zei has described Holmes' observation and logical reasoning ability to another level in such a work!

It is meticulous and impeccable!

Unlike other mystery novels, readers' eyes are on the case. In the novel "Sherlock Holmes", even the dialogues and some reasoning between him and Watson are so exciting!

And the most heated discussion in various parts of Kyushu...

is the three words [deduction]!

On Xiazhou's blog and Kyushu's forum, after the release of "Sherlock Holmes", all readers' discussions focused on it!

In the blog hot search, countless novel fans expressed their excitement.

[Oh my god! This deduction is really awesome...]

[I am so excited just to see Holmes' reasoning. I look forward to the moment when Holmes truly integrates his superb reasoning into the case. I believe Lao Zei can do it! ]

[A passerby asked, what exactly is deduction? Is Sherlock Holmes really good to read? 】

【Juejuezi! Go watch it! 】

【Deduction is actually reasoning, but the difficulty lies in observation, that is, capturing clues and discovering effective information, and then the thinking process after the observation stage. 】

【No, no, no, deduction is a method of reasoning from general to specific. A large part of Sherlock Holmes' reasoning belongs to induction. Just based on common sense judgment, it belongs to induction, not deduction...】

【Damn, can you say something I can understand... I'm already confused...】

【Really confused and impressive. 】

【There is a saying above that the main form of deduction is syllogism, which is nonsense. This is only a part of deduction. I think it can be simplified and popularized, that is, based on known evidence, deduce the story behind the hypothesis. 】

...

The debate about "deduction" has never stopped, and it was the same in the previous life.

Just from the heat of this discussion, we can see what kind of storm the two books of "Sherlock Holmes" have set off in Kyushu!

Xiao Xiang publicly posted a picture in which he gave "The Sign of Four" a score of 3 on Book.

You know, Xiao Xiang only gave "A Study in Scarlet" a score of 6, which is a barely qualified score for a top author.

Obviously, in Xiao Xiang's eyes, "The Sign of Four" is better than "A Study in Scarlet" in terms of plot and conception.

And some people have observed that Xiao Xiang's score for "A Study in Scarlet" has been deleted!

This work alone is indeed far from the height of a masterpiece, but this "A Study in Scarlet" is the prologue of the "Sherlock Holmes" legend!

…

Just when thousands of readers were complaining that the "Sherlock Holmes" series was good in every way but "short and weak", another wave of new book previews from Xianque Academy were released at the right time!

"Sherlock Holmes III - Adventure History (Part 1)"!!

In fact, because "The Sign of Four" was released three or four days ago, readers don't have to wait for three weeks at all. They only need to wait for about half a month to read the third part of "Sherlock Holmes".

"Awesome! What else can I say!!"

"The speed of publishing books is really amazing! Xianque Academy is also awesome! The quality of the books is excellent!"

"One work in three weeks, Peacock! Learn more!"

Seeing this comment, the corner of Li Liyue's mouth twitched.

Learn?

How to learn this terrifying creation speed?

Xianque Academy has long put all its energy on Lao Zei's books. The entire physical book publishing is for Lao Zei alone, but even so, it still makes a lot of money!

"I hope Lao Zei can bring more hardcore reasoning works to readers. The cases in the first two parts are still a bit soft."

"Yes."

"Is it possible that Lao Zei doesn't want to write? But he can't write it?"

"No way! Lao Zei can create such perfect reasoning as Sherlock Holmes, how can he not write hardcore cases? To put it bluntly, even if he copies and learns from the works of his predecessors, he can easily write it."

"Lao Zei must have his creative ideas. As I said, wait for the bullet to fly for a while!"

...

A crazy Sherlock Holmes craze has been set off in the whole of Jiuzhou. With the rising sales, this mysterious author from the East has once again become the focus of readers in the whole of Jiuzhou.

It’s not like readers haven’t seen excellent authors before, but this oriental author first wrote a fantasy, magic novel “Harry Potter”!

Then came the mystery novel “Sherlock Holmes”…

Isn’t this a huge span? !
