Five days later, the day before the new bestseller list was announced.
In the office of the New York Times bestseller list, a young editor looked at the editor-in-chief and hesitated before saying, "It's this guy named Wang Jian who has made us lose face badly. Aren't we going to suppress him?"
The bald editor-in-chief looked up, his voice rising slightly as he said, "How do you suppress him? His 'I'm a Great Mage' is currently ranked 35th, and 'Arcane Throne,' just the first volume alone, has surged into the top ten, sitting at ninth."
"It's not only outsold the highly anticipated 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' but it's also surpassed it in terms of reputation."
"Especially after many readers reached the end of the first volume of 'Ice and Fire,' where the character they believed to be the protagonist got his head chopped off."
"Right now, 'Arcane Throne' is being hailed as this year's most popular fantasy novel. Tell me, how do we suppress that? Falsify data?"
